So far I've heard from three separate Shows List readers who scored tickets to the May 25th show because they read about it here. This is the very thing that makes me say "Please let me know about anything else that can help out your fellow List readers." LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION? Lately, I've been getting a lot of requests for things that didn't appear in the current list. "When do tickets go on sale for that show?" "Isn't so-and-so playing on that bill, too?" "What time does it start?" The following are things that are typically listed for any given show in the list: Date, time, cost, ages admitted, and the bands playing. Also, if it's a new show, and I know when tickets go on sale, I'll put that in there, too. If one of those things doesn't appear, then I don't know it. It's best to call the venue or TicketMaster, as appropriate, and find out. And when you do find out, please let me know so I can update the list. SUBSCRIPTION INFO Mail a request to <shows@farpost.chi.il.us>. Please mention where you saw the list, just for my own curiosity.
