I just had it in my purse. we didnt get tickets and actually get into the venue until right b4 starting time so it was kinda rushed and they didn't have much time. Have fun!!!!!
Same thing happened in St. Louis. Locals bought tickets at the last minute and got seats up front, and I found out that tickets on the internet May 16 were sold back to front, which explains my 2nd to the last row orchestra seat, about 50 yards from the stage, as the Fox is huge. I had my day pack checked at the door upon entering to go to the pre-concert buffet, had a sport coat stuffed in it, and sneaked a camera in with a 150m lens, and got one good hand-held shot at a low shutter speed.
I'm glad you got this song--it's one of my Tom Waits favorites. In St. Louis security found my camera in my bag and made my friend take it back to our car. You can imagine how absolutely pissed I was when I saw people taking pictures inside the auditorium--after a while they relaxed the whole "no cameras" rule, but I walked out of the concert without a single picture of Tom from row F. Sad day.
I paid $1500. for two tickets on an ebay auction for the 18th show...so I sweated until I was finally inside with my front row center seat ticket in my claws....He's seriously intense at the distance...the Wed show was big, powerful, dangerous, and thrilling. He kicked the hell out of that fight bell. Loved the sudden beat changes and Freeze stops...andre in S.F.
WOW! You were definitely lucky to even get in the show! Congrats! My ticket price total was $105! And its only General Admission, you got a sweet deal! Thanks for the reply! Tom Waits fan for life!!!!!!!!
ok believe it or not the show was 100% sold out and we took a chance at went and the show was about to start and my friend Joe went to the box office and asked if they had any tickets and at first they told him no and were kinda jerky and then they called him back and apologized and said "actually we do have two tickets" and they were 8th row! I didn't believe it myself, still in shock. $90 tho OUCH but well worth it.
dont hate me, i bought 3 tickets to see tom, one in edinburgh, one in milan and... well... I live in london and i never will make it to el paso so i have a empty seat for the 20th june. any ideas what i can do with it. its a crime huh >?
wait, you have a ticket in El Paso? I don't think you can get rid of it. You have to be there with your credit card and ID. damn tho.. just fly out HA!
Thank goodness for the maneuverability of my laptop. I was able to watch that the right way up. :) Thanks for posting! Just seen the set list on myspace. Roll on Atlanta!!
I snuck it in my purse.. they didn't really look thanks ;o)

Went to your website and saw the pics.
How did you get an actual ticket?
I had to purchase my ticket over the internet as a paperless ticket.
