Tickets For May 6 & 7 At The MGM Grand Now On Sale
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008If you didn’t already know — as was posted on tomjones.com — Tom is adding two days (for a total of 16 performances) at the front of his May gig at the MGM. The dates were added because David Copperfield canceled his last two shows.
So, you can get tickets now. They went on sale this morning. Just click on the “buy tickets” button for his May gig on the MGM Grand website and the dates will come up.
See ya there.

Still no updated schedule. I wonder if old Tom is beginning to slow down a bit.

I dont think its Tom- he has an inadequate management staff. They seem to be laid back and content to do as little as possible to promote Tom. Maybe an outside of the family person would bring life back into his career

I agree. I wrote a couple of articles on Tom for two publications and, though I was able to get interviews, his people were a pain to deal with.

Greg, Rick E.: Have you considered that there might be other reasons for a delay in posting a schedule? Such factors as final, signed contracts, the venue’s own willingness to post a schedule (certainly the case with one northeast venue we know about) or other issues? And, if Tom’s new CD is to be released in the summer, maybe the time to promote that must be factored in. As for slowing down, we are never surprised by honest criticism even on the part of the most loyal, avid fans (and we’ve criticized, too) but “old” Tom? Why is that necessary? Compare him to anyone else his age. He ain’t “slow.” Finally, for the record, the one time a couple of years ago that Ellen dealt with Tom’s management for an article she was writing, there was no problem getting a photo not in his press kit — and that’s a fact.

Wow, take a deep breath and relax. Let’s not be sensitive here. When I said “old” I didn’t mean it as a reference to his age rather as a term of endearment.

Greg: We aren’t sensitive and we are relaxed. But, no one we know likes the adjective “old” or considers it a term of endearment. We bet ol’ Tom doesn’t, either. Don’t want to argue, as we enjoy your posts. Thanks for visiting tji.com and, please, continue to do so.

Glad Tom could squeeze in a couple of more days in May at the MGM!
By the way, if any of my loved ones decided to use the world “old” as a word to express their affection towards me, I’d smack them!

Wow, tough crowd, Okay, I give.
