I have a question.... Does anyone remember how much tickets were in 2015 for his US shows?
I saw him at Louisville Palace in 2007 with a band.....was amazing, 2011 I think at Brown Theater in L-ville solo - Amazing ... Indy with Soundgarden, Bush, Awolnation..... Bush might have been the better band that night, but not by much.
Very excited he is in Louisville again, if you have never seen the man you should go....Not only is he a fantastic musician, but his voice in those small venues is haunting. It`s like they were built for him.
Here is the email I just got......
CHRIS CORNELL ANNOUNCES NEW NORTH AMERICAN SHOWS
ON HIGHER TRUTH WORLD TOUR

Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell has announced the second North American leg of his critically acclaimed Higher Truth World Tour, with fan presales beginning tomorrow, Monday March 7.

The tour will kick off on June 16 in Clearwater, FL and travel up the East Coast through the Midwest and up to the Pacific Northwest before winding down on July 27 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Along the way Cornell will make his first appearance at the Ravinia Festival on July 3 in Highland Park, Illinois.

One dollar from each ticket sold will support the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, which is currently raising funds and partnering with charitable organizations to mobilize support for children facing problems including homelessness, poverty, abuse, and neglect.

Fans will see Chris perform in an unplugged, up close and personal setting in venues which have been hand-picked to host the show, including tracks from his latest album Higher Truth which was described by Entertainment Weekly as "a stellar collection of folk-inspired, classic rock-kissed songs that revolve around his iconic pipes."

Produced by Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Neil Young), 'Higher Truth' showcases Cornell's constant evolution as a master songwriter, lyricist and musical craftsman – telling human stories which transcend musical genres. Inspired by the stark arrangements of musicians like Nick Drake, Daniel Johnston and White Album-era Beatles, Cornell creates a musical universe unlike anything he has done before. Download 'Higher Truth' HERE.

For most shows (in black), fans also have access to a special presale starting Mon, March 7 @ 10am EST to Wed, Mar 9 @ 10pm EST- click on 'Buy' links below. Password: josephine (not case sensitive). For shows in red, presale runs from 14 March at 10am to 16 March at 10pm. For shows in green, presale runs April 18-19. Links to follow for some shows.

    The Hanover is a beautiful venue in Worcester, and if I wasn't dropping coin on Bonnaroo and two other shows at Fenway, I'd be down for this in a heartbeat, especially in my own town. But alas.

    Anybody looking at Clearwater do yourself a favor and try for seats on the end. There are no aisles at Ruth Eckerd. Mid row seats towards the back of the venue are murder to get in and out of.

    I traveled to Vancouver back in September to see him (but who wouldn't when you get front row) and now he's coming to Victoria! lol. He seems to be the only Seattle era musician that comes here. I full on have to support that :) I think this is his 3rd show now. Hopefully I can get tickets at 10am today. It was short notice so I couldn't block off my calendar at work.

    I wonder if Hemming is opening again. She was awesome opening on the tour last year.

    My wife got row J at the Overture in Madison. They didn't have pit tickets at the time, maybe they'll release those later too.

    I had floor in the center in Victoria and let them go.
    $110 per ticket is lame, already seen him twice.

    Ugh... I had row K centre section but I think my work firewall blocks their pay system.... I clicked submit assuming it would send me to where I enter my cc info, but I think it was the small box on the bottom that said it was blocked.. ugh.

    I could not stomach the charges either - I have seen him before too, at my favorite venue - The State Theatre in Kalamazoo Michigan. :)

    Last time I saw him I was front row center at UVIC and during the encore he came out and commented on my Soundgarden Louder than Fuck shirt shook my hand and asked me what I wanted to hear.Zero Chance!

    A great moment in time!

    I had some pull in the first few rows of the balcony after my work's firewall messed with the paywall, but I'm not paying $100+ to sit in the balcony....

    We don't get alot of these calibre of shows in Victoria so I'm willing to pay a little more to see musicians come to the Island... will try the other presales.

    edit: I miss what happened on last years tour where they sent out the email after tickets went on sale. You woke up, saw the email and immediately checked for tickets. Everytime people get a heads up and check at the same time, bad things happen :(

    I think his shows are worth the price. He plays for over 2 hours and the music and banter is high quality. Few people can hold an audience's attention on their own for that long, and he's one of the best.

    I agree with Zod that I probably wouldn't pay $100+ to sit in the balcony either.

    I got my email the evening before the presale, but it sounds like some people got them the next day, while the presale was already happening and missed out on being able to jump on the presale right away.
