It's not uncommon for a ticketing website to only show tickets that are going onsale in the very near future, unless they're selling the tickets for the whole tour and parts of it have already gone on sale. For the absolute up-to-the-second information about when shows are going on sale, including what sites to buy them from, I -highly- recommend the ToriTour mailing list(s). There are three flavours of this list: US/Canada, Europe, and the rest of the world.

VioletLilith@aol.com wrote: [questions about the meet'n'greets] There's very little way to know what's going to happen with the meet'n'greets -- if they happen at all. Tori's security staff has been trying to convince her to stop doing them since they became such madhouses on the 1998 tour. We won't know whether she's doing them until the first date of the tour. She's never announced that these things happen, and they're certainly not something that her record label or management pushes on her. It's something that she's taken on herself, and has been pretty quiet about. For that matter, even if she -does- start doing them at the beginning of the tour, she may be forced to stop doing them at any time. Tori usually comes into the venue 5ish hours before the published time on your ticket. How much earlier you'll need to be there before that depends on how many other people also show up. At some shows on the 1998 and 1999 tours, if you didn't show up by noon, you didn't stand a snowball's chance of seeing Tori. If you -really- have something that you want to say to her, I'd recommend writing it out in a letter and giving it to one of Tori's staff (security, soundboard, etc) at the venue. All of those letters actually get into her hands. For more of the soft information on Tori's tour, like how to get good seats at the upcoming shows, check out the "Tour Etiquette" article in the current issue of the new fanzine _Little Blue World_. The second issue has been mailed out, and hopefully should either be in subscribers' hands or nearly there. If you're not already a subscriber, you can learn more about the zine and subscribe online at . If you're not quite ready for a year-long subscription yet, you can pick up single issues of the zine at your friendly local Tower Records. (And if they don't have it, ask!)

That is indeed the best method of getting a note to her. 100%. > All of those letters actually get into her hands. I hate to have to disagree with my learned associate, but her people haven't been giving her absolutely everything as of at least the 1999 tour. I would guess you have a 95% chance of her getting it, though, with the odds being best with a shorter note rather than a longer one. I understand the tendency some have to want to tell her a lot of details about their personal life and how the music has affected it or otherwise helped them, but a simple expression of direct emotion and thanks, what not, will leave a stronger mark on her than a long detailed letter she may never find time to read. She'll get the emotion quite well without the detail. She loves subtext. Hell, she wallows in it. You might even get a sly reference to your note from the stage if you listen closely enough. I speak from much experience on this, from both giving her notes and seeing others give them for/to her. Shortest is best on multiple fronts. Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. P.S.: MANY thanks to the woj-meister for the persistent ticket updates. Muy helpful.

Jen asked, about the meet and greets: > so, if anyone can give me an ACCURATE good time to be there, i would > greatly appreciate it! Assuming for the sake of conversation that they're still gonna do them this time (my personal feeling is they will, lacking a compelling reason to stop), it's too much of a fluid situation to be pinned down in advance. As of the 29 August 1999 Saratoga Springs show, folks were told to spread the word that anyone showing up before 2pm would not be allowed to participate. I can't say that was genuinely enforced, but I saw some shows where there were definite efforts made to level the field between the early- and late-comers. She has radio interviews, lunch, phone calls, traffic on the way to the venues, etc., which varies every day. There's no way to say exactly when she'll get to the venue. Anyone who says they know is lying, an idiot, or both. I've known her to arrive around 2:30, and also after 5pm. Roll the dice. And if she does anything after the shows this time out there's no way to know that time, either. At some places the local security are hard-ass thugs rushing her out ASAP, other nights they have no real reason to rush T out and she hangs out talking to folks in her dressing room longer than other nights. You tell me what time you're gonna eat dinner one specific night two months from now--will friends invite you out that day?, will you skip dinner because you had a big lunch?, etc.--and I'll tell you when she's gonna do a meet and greet that night. That's pretty much what we're talking about, here. That she does this at all is a generous lagniappe (little something extra) to all concerned. Nothing less. Be seeing you, Richard Handal, H.G. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 20:02:33 EDT From: Lisa071573@aol.com Subject: winners in the toricon auction....
