Jaimoe Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Swell Season normally does a bunch of Frames tunes in concert, which isn't a big stretch since Glen Hansard writes all their material and sings all the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 If you don't get on the Friends account, I recommend phoning the Massey Hall/Roy Thompson Hall box-office and order tickets that way; they always offer the best seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Massey Hall also sells tickets through their website. Ticketmaster gets something like 400 tickets per Massey show.That said, FF is definitely worth the $80, or whatever it is, per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
