Tom Waits for Dublin (1 Viewer)

[Unicron]

you won't get them until 7-10 days before.

That point is approaching. I'm not overly worried.

It feels like he played ages ago

Exactly. No, I'm not bitter.

Anybody know how this price setting works?
Is the 'artist' getting a % of the door therefore encouraging the highest price possible or is it all at the promoters discretion. Someone was sayin' t'me that Waits tickets in the Czech Republic were €40 or something along those lines.
I really thought/hoped that they overstretched themselves on this, that they'd have huge troubles selling those tickets at those prices but apparently not.

Two mates of mine are going. Should be good in the Playhouse.

The performer is guarunteed a fee. In most cases touring bands will say how much they want and a promotor will either say that they'll pay it or not. If it's a high demand act like Waits a number of promotors will bid against each other to get the gig, this drives the guaruntee up. And that has to be recouped through higher ticket prices.

If he plays All The World is Green, I might cry.

d'ya reckon that's his 'Earthsong'? I really want to hear Big in Japan. Seems to be putting in some seriously long sets. A few with 'ol Tom quietly at the piano would be good too.

wow, I actually managed to book tickets today.I'm amazed...

 

[ronan]

Yep, my tickets arrived today!

We were ghosting Tom Waits around the USA... it seemed like we played every town the day after him.

Met the guy from Man Man at our gig in Austin, he'd just seen Tom Waits the night before and said it was one of the most disappointing gigs he'd ever been to.
He said Waits' band was just too slick and 'professional'.
Kinda disheartening to hear, especially from someone who is obviously such a Waits fan (taking into account Man Man's music).

But on the other hand, we met one of the guys from Sparklehorse in Dallas and he said every single detail of the Dallas show was utterly perfect.

Either way, i can't wait!!
