From Waits Site:
As you all know, Tom Waits is going on tour from Phoenix to Hotlanta
this summer. Aside from the guiding forces from above, Tom further
explained the routing choice by saying: We’re going to the deep south
where they still love a man who wears red pants and they make him feel
welcome.
Waits will be touring with longtime musical ally Larry Taylor (bass),
Omar Torrez (guitar), Patrick Warren (keyboards), Casey Waits (drums
and percussion) and as yet named reed player; performing hollers,
mambos and rhumbas.
As on his last tour, Waits’ U.S. booking agent and longtime tour
director, Stuart Ross, has spent a great deal of effort to fight
ticket scalpers. Along with Ticketmaster, he has worked out a plan he
believes will make sure every fan pays face value (plus normal service
and handling fees) for the tickets purchased for the Glitter and Doom
tour, outlined thusly:
“In keeping with Waits’ longtime desire to allow fans the best
possible access to his shows, the Waits’ organization is again
implementing an anti-scalping program to assure patrons that their
tickets can only be purchased at face value (plus normal surcharges
and handling fees). At the majority of shows on this tour,
Ticketmaster is introducing their Paperless Ticket system. Prior to
entering the venue, fans must simply provide their credit card which
was used to purchase the tickets, along with a government issued ID.
The fan’s accompanying guest must be present at that time. An
attendant will swipe the credit card and provide a receipt for the
transaction. The entire process is quick, secure and simple. Tickets
will only be sold via the internet and by phone and are limited to two
per person.
