Many dates added (and more to come). Interesting to see both Chicago and Seattle of all places to have 2 shows, and different venues.

edit: the November 26th show is in ATLANTA, GA (not Seattle, and Seattle it appears only does have the 1 show on Wednesday October 30th).

89.3's post
which of course doesn't show the standard The Electric Lady cover art, but the Target alternate cover , lol. Then again, that's not new, I seem to recall their review of the new Local Natives album had the alternate cover art as well, lol.

But according to that, tickets to the GENERAL PUBLIC go on sale on Friday August 23rd at 10AM, PER TICKETMASTER: LINK HERE

However, The Presale should be available, and hopefully like many others, I won't have to deal with any Scalpers, thank gawd.

I'll pass along more of the dates if/when I get the chance. Minneapolis on 10/22 at the Skyway Theatre which I'm not crazy about, although in fairness, I've never actually seen a concert there (but "The Loft" I have, and I would not imagine seeing Janelle at that particular part of the bldg). I guess it was recently renovated too. And it is on a Tuesday night at least.

Rocktober now includes this, BTBAM (11th) and Radical Face (16th).

CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT ONLINE TICKET SCALPERS????

this post I made on mp.com is probably worth sharing again. Not that the Varsity Theater really has any concern about it, but it doesn't change the fact something should be able to be done about it, and it likely never will.

I really LOATHE the way some of these concerts, the ticket sales get BOGARTED by the SCALPERS and all the tickets are sold out in 10 Minutes, and then soon after put up on sites like Stubhub.com for 2, 3 or as much as 6 or 7 times the cost.

The Venues don't seem to care since they are still selling out their shows.

It happened last year for the Gotye shows (in Minneapolis among other towns), and it just happened with Fitz & the Tantrums. The venue, The Varsity Theater, usually sells some tickets via their sister club, The Loring Pasta Bar. But they decided to make the Fitz & the Tantrums concert on June 17th, an ALL-INTERNET sale show. Tickets went on sale on the Ticketfly.com link to their site, and they were totally SOLD OUT in 10 MINUTES. I find this out on Saturday when trying to buy tickets in person at both The Loring Pasta Bar and another Ticket outlet, the record store, The Electric Fetus. I then check Stubhub.com and find 82 different tickets being sold on that site for the show ranging in prices from $72-$155 PER TICKET, which were sold on TICKETFLY for $25-$35.

Something should be done about this unfair system for selling tickets. But other than Presales, I'm not sure what. SCALPERS have gotten away with this BS for decades, and it never seems to end.
