Neil Gaiman Featured in SF Chronicle

“I find if I stay here too long, then my value system goes Hollywood, and I don’t like that,” he says over tea and a fruit bowl. “You suddenly find yourself living in a universe where it doesn’t matter whether a film was any good or not. What matters is how much it made. It’s very weird.”

Neil Gaiman, currently making the rounds to promote “Stardust,” was recently featured in this San Francisco Chronicle article. Go behind the cut for the full extravaganza.

Lawrence Tickets On-Sale!

It appears that tickets for the Lawrence, KS concert on Friday, November 9th have already gone on sale at The Lied Center’s website! Decent seats still seem to be available from their allotment. Ticketmaster is also going to be selling tickets for this show starting at Noon CDT today, so if you don’t find any seats from The Lied, try Ticketmaster later today.

Thanks to Katie and Craig Fisher for the heads-up!

Update: Craig points out that orchestra seats are still available from Kansas University Ticketing while the best Ticketmaster has for sale are balcony seats. The Lied’s website actually lets you pick the exact seats from the available pool, which is a nice feature, and you can easily view which sections are sold out as well. It’s also worth mentioning that the Lied’s service fees are significantly lower than Ticketmaster’s.

Los Angeles General On-Sale Date Change

This is your friendly middle-of-the-night notification to let you know that the general on-sale for Los Angeles [which was originally scheduled for this coming Monday] has been moved to Saturday, September 15th at 10am.

If you do not plan to attend the Los Angeles show and, in fact, have absolutely no idea what this “Los Angeles” is of which I speak, go back to sleep. This was all a dream.

Thanks, Jen!

Chicago Jam Presale

Thanks to Anthony for pointing out that there will be another pre-sale for the Chicago show, according to the latest e-mail newsletter from the concert’s promoter, Jam Productions. The pre-sale starts at 10:00 AM CDT on Friday, August 17th and runs until 10:00 PM Friday night. While Jam’s ticket buying link points to Ticketmaster, there is nothing about this pre-sale on Ticketmaster yet. One would assume that Ticketmaster will add the pre-sale tomorrow morning.

Update: An “Internet Presale” has been added to Ticketmaster’s listing for the Chicago show, starting at 10:00 AM CDT today.

As a reminder, the general sale for the Chicago show starts on Saturday, August 18th at 11:00 AM CDT.

Anaheim Pre-Sale Password

Several folks wrote in saying they’d never received any newsletter from The Grove with the Anaheim All Access pre-sale password. Unfortunately, we hadn’t either. However, Courtney used her noodle and figured it out! It’s DOLL. Ticketmaster is listing it as a general admission show, so not quite as nerve-wracking as the reserved seating concerts, but it’s always good to know you have tickets….
