World of Weird Al Yankovic

Countdown has disappeared...tour dates any minute now!
Edit: Man, only 2 PA dates? That sucks...

It's awesome they decided to do another competition this Tour!

Lot's of dates up, this look like a long leg.

Albuquerque has been snubbed again!!

I'm a bit frustrated that there is nothing near or in Colorado yet, either. Maybe more dates will trickle out eventually. Otherwise, I'm probably going to head up north to one of the shows in Seattle.

PS: Anyone can make tour date topics! Just felt it needed to be said.

Al is actually playing Dallas? Holy crap. He's gonna be 23 minutes away. Yeaaaah!

You think there's anything to be read into the fact that they're only referring to the VIP tickets as "VIP" and not "Czar" anymore? Perhaps they decided not to go all out with the Czar stuff this leg of the tour, especially with all the complaints and negative comments that the company running it got last time around. The Czar package was a good deal last time around, but to be honest I really had no need for all that merchandise and would have been much more satisfied paying closer to $150 for just the ticket and meet and greet, so perhaps there's a chance they're just doing it that way this time.

Still offering Czar package. The Proctor's (Schenectady) website has details of Czar and VIP (obviously pricing may vary depending on the venue)

Hmm, that seems different from what the CID website has listed for last year's leg! Interesting changes there.

Erg, $270 sounds even more expensive than what I paid last time around. I'm having a baby in August, there's absolutely no way I can justify this expense, I just wish there were some way to get good seats without all the expense, I paid $50 for second row at the Palace Theater in Waterbury on the Alpocalypse Tour, maybe those were underpriced, but I'd be willing to go up to $100 maybe $120 for that again, $270 is too much.
