Oh. Jesus Christ. It's in Urbana-Champagne. And it's $26. Maybe show #5 will have to hold off for a while.

I can't wait. I am so there. I don't even care about spare beds because it isn't that far from me and I can crash out at my friend's house. it is gonna rock. See you all there!!

On the original Tour Dates list, there was an April 24th show scheduled for St. John's University in Collegeville, MN. Now that date has disappeared from the list? Anyone know why?

i believe its a private show...only for st. john's and st. ben's students

i'm not positive on that though...its a festival (Pinestock) the website says that the "headliner" is going to be announced some time in march(can't remember the date) so maybe they're waiting for the fesitval's website to announce it before they do on ben's website

Yeh, i just got back from buying my tickets at the student lottery. I Submitted 20ish names and got one of the top tier spots in line. Still, i'm in row L, which means i'm about half way up the ground floor seating. If you're not in the student lottery, you better hope to get one on the phone, or kiss this show goodby.

i have a feeling it'll sell out rather fast, possibly before public sale

if you are off to the left you may have a view of ben actually playing...off to the right too much and all you will see is the end/side of the piano.

Wow - what was with the lotery at U of I?? I had my friend get tickets, but after the lotery the best he could get was in the balcony. Hope they're off to the left. Anyone else going to be there with me? I'm jazzed it's sold out - it's going to be a great show. I've been listening to sunny16 nonstop - it's awesome. I love Ben Folds.

Posted by bonovox

the lottery is to let students get first grabs at the shows.
tickets were available for about 10 minutes after the lottery, so he was lucky if he got them afterward
