Press Release:

Quote :

"For the first time in over a year, Sufjan Stevens is going on tour, bringing with him a talented group of musicians and friends including a small string ensemble and brass section. They will perform a repertoire of familiar songs from Seven Swans, Michigan and Illinois in a new symphonic context. The tour will bring Sufjan and his ensemble to some of the country’s finest theaters, including Nashville’s esteemed Ryman and Los Angeles’ historic Wiltern. Supporting the tour will be My Brightest Diamond, a moniker for the talented singer-songwriter Shara Worden. Shara has toured extensively in Sufjan’s band, appears on his recordings, and is often his right-hand woman. Shara is also a close friend, creative peer and Brooklyn neighbor to Sufjan. The pomp and pageantry of the previous Illinoismakers tour will be augmented by a nuance, mastery and sophistication of talented new players. But don’t expect to see any cheerleading uniforms or routines. Suit coats, neckties and corsages might be more appropriate; but we aren’t about to issue a dress code. Sufjan would also like to take this opportunity on tour to debut you a few new pieces."

i guess im joining the sufjan stevens fan community
someone order some extra tickets in case this thing sells out and i miss out

7/10/2006 2:33:10 AM

i'm glad i'm not the only one thats uber-stoked for this show. does anyone have any other info on tix? like price or exactly where and how to get them. i read chapel hill kids get tix for 10. i might see if i cant get a few of my loser friends over in chapel hill to buy me a few unless you need an ID. if i buy tix regular i'll try to get a few extra.

7/10/2006 11:35:59 AM

this concert is going to be sick. he came to chapel hill a while back to the cradle and had his orchestra on stage with him.

7/10/2006 11:58:29 AM

Same day as Jose Gonzalez. Decisions, decisions.

Obviously Sufjan wins, though.

7/10/2006 2:14:39 PM

I was so thinking about going to see gonzalez a week ago but then this came up. Im never turning down a chance to see one of my top 5 artists.

7/10/2006 2:18:47 PM

Odd, there are some on sale now. But I don't see Chapel Hill at all. I am confused.

Please god don't let it be sold out already.

[Edited on July 10, 2006 at 2:32 PM. Reason : .]

7/10/2006 2:30:28 PM

I thought the same thing, but im just gonna keep checking about 80 times a day in case they become available before the 15th.

7/10/2006 2:33:47 PM

yeah i noticed that chapel hill wasnt on sale yet too. wonder if its an add on between cities. post pronto when somebody gets tix.

7/10/2006 2:43:20 PM

^^doesn't UNC generally sell tix to students before opening up to general population? maybe that's what's going on now.

7/10/2006 2:44:46 PM

Yea, they generally do. But since this ducatking website is selling them I thought it might be different. Apparently Ive been a member of this site since early 2005 when I bought modest mouse tickets. Go figure.

7/10/2006 2:49:18 PM

any word for tickets to the philly show?

dont see that on the ducatking site.

7/10/2006 2:51:30 PM

sold out. Anyone know who else is selling or have extra tix??? I tried to get them yesterday. Gone already.

7/15/2006 4:14:12 PM

i think that's just the presale that's sold out. there will be more tix made available later. not sure exactly when or where though. now i've just got to figure a way out to keep this a secret from my friend until her b'day. . .

7/15/2006 4:41:03 PM

Crap. I need two tickets and looks like the presale at least is sold out.

7/15/2006 7:14:09 PM
