Usually one can guess what the password is. Nine, crimes, 9, I'll be trying anything I can think of that has something to do with the album. If you find something out, will you please post?
Also, a local radio station, Cities 97, now has this on their website: "Damien Rice with Swell Season Orpheum Theatre 8pm" http://www.cities97.com/pages/concertcalendar.html |

Who is swell season? Any info would be appreciated. I could only find something on their myspace page, where it says they will be touring with Damien thru December in the US.

minneapolis is a pretty easy town to get around in as far as big cities go, especially compared to say chicago or something. there are hotels right downtown near the theater district and a lot of them have shuttle service so i wouldn't worry about getting lost..
do worry about blizzards and frigid temperatures though, winter in minnesota is no picnic.. it was almost 100 degrees the last time damien was there this summer, i doubt he'll recognize the place.. bring a parka damien! |

who knows? TM is such a rip off. Grand total comes to $45/ticket (which I'm more than happy to pay for, but when the gig is listed at $30, it's such a joke for their add ons) |

I've purchased tickets, and I'm in row F seat 13. I'm not sure if these are good seats. Well, I mean they are, but since this will be my first concert of his (I went to his Central Park one but it was shared with Fiona Apple) I want extraordinary seats.
I've found someone selling pit tickets, and I'm kind of tempted to get them, but how good is the pit? With the tickets I've got, I thought I'd be in the 6th row from the stage, but including the pit that puts me in 8th. And I'm not sure if seat 13 is that close to the center. |

I had 5th row pit seats for Damo's Camden show - they were fabulous, I had my kids in tow and they could see everything just fine. When I had front row at the Beacon, we were unable to see their feet as it was per usual, a sit down event (which I found highly amusing, but certainly did not take away from the show in the slightest) The seating chart for the Orpheum shows that the seat numbers begin along the center aisle for both main floor sections 1 & 2. I'm unable to tell how many seats are in each row, I'd imagine there are approximately 25 or more, thus 13 should put you roughly in the center of the row. |
