Timothy Talks About His Upcoming Tour

[TimothyBFan]

I hadn't really checked any of these dates or prices because he's no where close at this point and why torture myself. Out of curiosity, since we were talking in Schmit Sexiness about the last tour, I thought I'd check out and compare prices to last time. I notice that most shows are a bit more than what we all payed last tour. Correct me Chicago show goers, but wasn't it a real bargain at $22 and that included a surcharge? But even at $35-$55 how can you go wrong with this? He is definitely a great bargain to see. I've said it before but that $22 was without a doubt the most well spent $$ for a concert I've ever spent and meant more to me than shows I've attended that were 10 times that amount. KWIM?

ETA: I just remembered also---at the Chicago show, Timothy made some comment, I think he was thanking the audience for coming, etc. Someone yelled out it was a real bargain at $20.00 and he said he didn't even know how much the tickets were or something like that.

The tickets for TBS show in NY at BB King's are $35. which is a bargain. There is also a minimum at the tables of I think $10. but I have to double check that. In comparison, the tickets for Glenn in NY on May 9th are $120. & I think a lower price for balcony seats, but I think that was about $85. Then add on Ticketmaster price of about $16, (thank you Irving) I would go see Glenn if it was a little more reasonable, but I thought that was really high price. I have to save up for Eagles tickets, which will be high, & I also want to see a few other people this summer. In NY, I doubt anything is $20., yeah 2 beers! LOL

I was just looking back through Tim's Chicago 2009 thread that Willie had revived. I noticed this setlist for that tour. I wonder if Tim will change it up any for this tour? I know a lot of you don't love the song like I do, but I would love for Tim to include Melancholy. I still can't figure out why it was the only song from Expando excluded from the setlist. I would also die to hear Down By the River and Every Song Is You.

Would love to hear Every Song Is You & I hope he is still doing Keep On Tryin'

Maybe Dreamer can verify, but if I'm not mistaken, Tim's Oct. 2009 shows at The Bitter End in NYC were something of the order of $25-$35 pp; a total bargain!! I think we probably had to buy 2 drinks each, but I don't really drink (plus I was driving, anyway), so that was no big whoop either. Those were the days...

I am very familiar with The Bitter End. They usually have 4 or 5 bands playing there in 1 night. They are usually unknown bands. You pay to see 1 band + 2 drink minimum. When the next band comes on, you have to leave or pay again for that band.I was surprised that Timothy played there. It is very reasonable. I don't know if that's the way it worked when he was there, but normally, that's how that place is run. I have been there several times. For the unknown bands, the price is even lower, like $10. but they make money because they charge for each band, + the 2 drinks, & people come to see only 1 group, then the next shift of people come in.

I think Timothy is very under-rated - thus the "cheap" tickets. I was thrilled to see him in Chicago for $22, but I think he is worth every penny of $35 - $50. I just wish that other concert tickets would come DOWN a little.

One big difference is that Timothy's shows aren't through Ticketmaster or LiveNation. Besides fees, they add a percentage on top. Then the venues add a percentage, then of course federal, state, and local fees. A venue that can make their money on food and alcohol (that mark-up is higher) will always have cheaper ticket prices. If you look at the difference in ticket prices between Joe's shows that aren't through TM or LN or a PAC and those that are, you'll see a big difference I think.

Can't remember for sure, EV, but that price sounds about right. One thing for sure it was a bargain for such an awesome show!

And ITA with you about the pricing, VA.

That makes sense. These venues with the lower prices have drinks & some have food also. BB King's has food, so you do end up spending a lot of money at the table, but it's still worth it. I mean at least you get a lot for the money. TM & LN are highway robbers. What they charge for "Handling Fees" ( Like emailing you a ticket) is just Insane!!
