Tomorrow's the first night of the tour and I'll be fortunate enough to go to it.

Was wondering if anyone else has received about four emails from Ticketmaster about thorough airport-style security which every person will be subject to, and arriving two hours early to make sure you can get in alright. Anyone in other cities going? In any case, I'm beyond excited. What a special man.

    Beyond lucky, Nart... What a talented man, and clearly doesn't even speak a language of religion publicly, just one of peace. I don't know why we can't all bask in that.

    I'm pulling up decent seats on the secondary market for awesome prices, way below face. I'm gonna have to pull the trigger and go by myself. I can't miss this show!

    Be careful man! It's exclusively credit card entry and I heard a few stories in line of people spending way too much and being scammed.

    Pull the trigger and do it. You'll regret not going. I always regret the shows I could have gone to, but didn't--not the shows I went to.

    Agreed. Nart, this means too much to you, and the show is frankly far too special for me to tell you to walk away from the thought. Get in that venue.

    Damn, StubHub not even offering tickets to the Boston show because of the non-transfer policy. Oh well, it is not really in the budget this Christmas month anyway.

    Nart, I don't believe for a second that those are real. The entire tour had a two-ticket maximum, and the cardholder must walk into the venue, no exceptions. Please, bud, be careful! The only way I'd see for you to get in is if they do a last minute ticket drop legitimately, which happens from time to time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

    Ya I'm gonna go with Ben on this one. The sites went down today really odd. I almost pulled the trigger last night. Still bummed I'm not gonna see him but I'm hoping he'll tour again and this time in NYC.
