My bigger hope is that John does a scaled down tour and plays the 500 seat Birchmere in Alexandria. I've seen Lyle Lovett there a few times and he seems to make money playing a couple nights in an honest to God "listening room". Now that would be a show.

Other than the dream of an intimate showcase I'm not complaining too much about the price of these tickets. Compared to the price of a ticket for a professional hockey game or NFL event these seats are a good value.
