Maybe James Taylor will show up to sing on Sailing to Philadelphia. That would be cool.

Doesn't he live in Boston, hence his appearance in 2001.

[communique]

Ya, that’s true. Maybe he’ll show up in Boston.

Yes, he does it every time MK plays in Boston.

A friend of mine told me today he took a look at the Madison Square Garden tickets to MK concert and looks there are MANY seats available...

Actually, I'd say, there are TOO MANY seats available. That can't be good...

Two fairly good seats in B $1,381.00 ea + Fees. They can sod off for that price.

Yes, ticket sales are really poor so far for that concert. Less than half of the seats are sold. That’s a real shame considering it seems as though it will be his last show ever.

[Jules]

It's a too big venue for the US where they play mostly theaters.

And it's a big venue in a city where they will be playing two nights at a theatre before.

A crazy idea.

Opposite plan than with the O2 and the Rah in London.

It looks like they are resale seats, someone is hoping to make a lot of cash on them

Seems that ticket-prices in the US are very high compared to Europe (?)
I would from what I know assume that the normal american finds this too expensive (?)

Also had that feeling that the US ticket prices are clearly higher... venue costs etc?
Maybe PCM/MK require more 'dinero' for the US tour and this is a result of that...

I expect an official BR recording from that concert.

I expect an official BR recording from that concert.

And then the wake up clock sounds, and discover it was just a dream.

LOL

[Jules]

they are really really a lot of available seats... too many!
