Tickets for the only UK show Tom Waits is doing are £95 each. Does he stupidly overprice his shows in the US as well?

The ticket I got was 85 bucks or so. I believe all of the tickets were the same price. It's not THAT bad of a price, I paid 75 to see Bob Dylan.

I'd say that's a pretty steep price. I've boughten weekend tickets for festivals cheaper.

Well gas prices are causing ticket prices to shoot up...but I still don't think 85 bucks to see Tom Waits at a small theatre is a bad price. Springsteen charges that much for nosebleed seats and he is half the songwriter that Waits is.

amen.

and I hope their expensive. I don't want any "i've heard Rod Stewart cover him" fair weather fanbase in attendance. He tours too infrequently to endure such...crime.

You can't justify his crappy ticket prices just because someone else does it as well.
As far as i'm concerned no-one is worth over £50 a ticket.

I heard the reason for higher ticket prices is because of gas prices riseing, so they increase ticket prices to pay for it. Not sure if it's legit, but it's what I heard.

Yeah but you can't say its unjustified. If you don't think its fair then don't pay for it.

That said, his press conference for the tour was really pretty cool, worth a watch.
