    There are definitely more dates coming - possibly just Europe though. He mentions his upcoming journey from Spain to Dublin in that video, so I'm set. :D

    As do I! I wish he'd come to Canada, especially Atlantic Canada. It's high on my list of things to do, see Tom Waits in concert.

    By the way, that video on his website is wicked! :D

    yeah last time he played here in Vancouver he played 2 tiny venues, scalpers were selling tickets outside for over a grand. I need to see him.

    Jacksonville here I come!!!!!
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Got my 4th row seat for Birmingham, AL today!!! Can't wait to see him. He tours so rarely and in limited areas of the country that u gotta grab tix wherever u can get them. Too bad the tour overlaps with the PJ tour. I might have gone to more shows.

    By the way, all of the Tom Waits shows are going paperless to avoid scalpers. Apparently u go to the venue with your i.d. and credit card and they swipe it as u enter. 2 ticket max. and both people have to enter at the same time.
    This could be the future of big tours and totally kill scalping.

    good score on those seats. loge were the closest i coulda had. the paperless thing is ok by me. there's always that anxiety over whether they fucked up your order but they never do.

    Was just watching the European dates and locations.. There's no way I can afford to spent 500$ on flights etc. :(

  • I'm debating whether or not it's worth €116. On a student budget.

    As a fellow student I'd say, go for it! That's nothing compared to the prices I'd have to pay to see The Man.

    Money won't buy you happiness, but it will pay for the search.

    By the time I realized the tickets were on sale, Atlanta (the closest city for me at a 6 hr drive) was sold out. I read the anti scalping policy and it sounds near impossible for me to get in. You have to present the credit card and gov't id that were used to buy the tickets upon entry intto the theatre.

    Unless I find someone out their with one extra it aint gonna happen.
