Blane Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 2 Tickets Tom Waits live in Berlin Germany "Theater des Westens" Monday November 15th 2004 20:30 The 2 seats are in dress circle (1.Rang ) row 2 seat 21 & 22 Oh man, if I am only lucky enough. Apparently one of 4 shows he's going to be playing, and with Mark Ribot taboot!
StoneMtn Posted August 31, 2004 Report 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!
Blane Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Posted August 31, 2004 outbid dammit. They sold for over 300 US (for a pair).
Velvet Posted August 31, 2004 Report Posted August 31, 2004 That's too bad man. I paid I think $175CAN to see him in Toronto. Well worth the cash.
Blane Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report 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+.
StoneMtn Posted August 31, 2004 Report 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 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.
