StoneMtn Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Nice! Did you get them? That's always been a hard ticket to come by. I've never seen him, and I regret missing the one chance I had. Keep bidding my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 outbid dammit. They sold for over 300 US (for a pair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 That's too bad man. I paid I think $175CAN to see him in Toronto. Well worth the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'm going to wait and see. There are apparently 3 more shows to be announced, so I might not be outta luck yet. Plus, when you factor in flights from Geneva to Berlin, 300 US quickly becomes 1000+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Don't be regretting this one later, Blane. I can just see you for the next 20 years, every time Tom Waits comes up in conversation, saying, "Ya, I almost saw him back in 2004 before he stopped playing, but..."

Velvet Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 "Ya, I almost saw him back in 2004 before he stopped playing, but..." I agree 100%, but on the other hand, that's what I said when I went to see Dylan in 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
