I got advanced tickets from the mailing list, they ended up being $91 with service charge. It really pisses me off that his tickets are always so expensive, especially since I've never spent more than 30 bucks on a show before. But he's my favorite musician, and I can't think of anyone else I'd spend that much on.
And yes, all the other shows are going to be totally anti-climatic after Waits, although I am really looking forward to Beirut (mostly because A Hawk & A Hacksaw is their opener).

I have discussed this with other people (Tom Waits, not happy endings) and i think i agreed i'd pay $500 to hear him read his laundry list.
Seriously.
For an encore he could read his shopping list. As long as he sounds in person like he does on record i'd be happy
Its TOM WAITS. He never tours. In 10 years are you going to remember $80 or are you going to remember missing Tom Waits?
I don't even want to think about the sort of stuff i'd offer to get him to tour here, especially since he hated it so much he wrote songs like 'A Pub With No Cheer' and 'Tom Traubert's Blues' about the experiance. I think 'what would i do if it would get Tom Waits here' would get into pretty scary territory.....

You will definitely not be dissapointed on those counts. All I can say is, bang your head and raise your goddamn fist! I saw both of those bands playing to really shitty, unreceptive crowds as support acts. (flipside of course is I got front-row for both of them, got to scream in the mic at Ephel Duath and got thrown the horns personally by Kingsize Blues guitarist).
As for Wacken: so fucking awesome and fucking metal I cannot even fucking begin.

If you end up catching Vried let me know what they're like live, I picked up their album Kraft last year and it's pretty damn awesome. I'm a huge fan of Windir, so I'm glad to see the rest of the guys continuing on without Valfar.
KharBevNor:
I didn't make it to Vreid. They were in the side tent during someone like Korpiklaani. The only tent band I caught was SuidAkra, because I don't really care for Gamma Ray.
