Van Morrison to play Austin Music Hall March 11
Van the Man is coming to Austin Music Hall March 11. This will be his first show since his Austin City Limits Music Festival gig back in 2006.
Prices for the reserved seat gig are $95 to $250. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Feb. 2nd and will be available through GetTix.net outlets including: Waterloo Records, RunTex locations and the UT Co-OP. Charge by phone at (866) 443-8849 or online at www.austinmusichall.com.
Morrison’s newest album, “Keep It Simple” (Lost Highway) will arrive in stores the same day.
It’s his first album of new material since 2005, and the first in years in which he penned all 11 songs specifically for one album.
Word has it there are no horns on the record, which is good news indeed. Not that “Real, Real Gone” isn’t a lovely song, but enough already.

isn’t that a little pricy for a venue with questionable sound?

Those ticket prices don’t include the $10 to $25 in extra service fees that get tacked on at the point of sale, either. DD2 is right, why would anyone want to pay a small fortune to see a notoriously inconsistent performer at a venue that’s not even up to snuff yet (sonically or aesthetically)? Rip-off city.

Whoa! That’s ‘way too pricey! Do the ticket purchasers have to pay for the Music Hall renovation? And did the renovations enhance the venue (sonically and aesthetically)? Oh! I get it! For this amount of money the attendee gets to sit in a chair! Or do they?

Am I missing something here? I thought the ticket prices ran from $95 to $250. Why not buy the lower priced tickets if you’re insecure about the concert or can’t afford the more expensive tickets? If Van the Man is on form, you’ll have attended one of the best concerts of your life!
