It seems Mark Knopfler is releasing a new album (Get Lucky), and is touring the US next year. Why didn't anybody tell me? The first I heard about this was when my wife pried me out of bed this morning and warned me that tickets for his Ann Arbor show would go on sale today!
Well, I bought a pair of tickets. Ticketmaster threw in a free copy of the new CD with them, which was nice of them. They also charged me $13.50 booking fee per ticket and another $5 processing fee, which wasn't so nice. I'm currently pretending that I just bought the CD for $31, but that doesn't make me feel any better. I guess when ticket prices start at $85 a pop, these minor additional charges are rather meaningless. Be warned - New York and New Jersey ticket prices for this tour are apparently astronomically priced.
