I wanted to go see a concert tonight for the first time ever. The venue offered tickets online through ticketmaster (henceforth referred to as ticketbastard) with a note that any remaining tickets are available at the box office once the show starts. Checking their website more, I found that they sell tickets in-person during posted hours, so I figured I could just go buy a real ticket and avoid the ticketbastard garbage.
Two hours later I’m realizing that A) The in-person ticket is like 25% cheaper than if I bought it online B) It’s still through ticketbastard despite me showing up in person C) I can still only get in by getting a barcode through the fucking ticketbastard app. They have no web portal. D) They offer no refunds.
Back in the 90’s, I saw them play and Ian Anderson was rolling around in a wheel chair on stage with a broken leg. I’m convinced the man won’t stop playing until his death
I think the voice is a bit weaker now, but the flute’s still decent and he gives it all he’s got. I saw them at a festival a few years ago. They’ve released a few new albums recently.
Looks like about 40 dates across Europe over the rest of 2026.
lol, 40 dates and 40 albums at the age of 102. Way to go Ian!
I’m not sure even death will stop him.
