Tom Waits for Dublin (2 Viewers)

Friend of mine has tickets for Waits on Thursday and has to go to Mexico for work on Wednesday - admittedly not the worst reason to miss the gig, but...

Ticketb*st*rd say they can only honour tickets for someone with the same surname - and it's quite an uncommon surname...

Has anyone had any luck changing names on tickets with Aitken? Anyone out there with the surname Ní Cheallaigh who would like to go to Tom Waits?
 
Found this on State.ie

I'd say its around 25 min walk from there, they were putting the tent up or some tent up over the weekend in the park which i say is it.
 
anyone notice the editor's note in this old blurb:

“I have a stellar band: Larry Taylor (*editor note: due to a family emergency, upright bass player Larry Taylor was unable to join the tour and was subsequently replaced by Seth Ford-Young), Patrick Warren (keyboards), Omar Torrez (guitars), Vincent Henry (woodwinds) and Casey Waits (drums and percussion)”, says Waits. “They play with racecar precision and they are all true conjurers. I’m doing songs with them I’ve never attempted outside the studio. They are all multi-instrumentalists and they polka like real men.”

seth-ford young anyone?... larry taylor was one of the main constants... no marc ribot either...

He was doing that on his last tour.
 
I cycled by the "Ratcellar" this morning - looks way cool...pretty darn big and like a circus big top.
Getting excited now!!!!
 
honest to goodness...

how to piss you off?... put tickets back on sale for all three nights in MUCH better seats than the ones you bought 5 minutes after they went on sale labelled 'best available'...

Fuckers!
