For $40, you can sign up to be a "friend of the library" which grants you access to a presale for the tickets. I got an email from the library saying that they would go on sale a month before the event date, with a presale before that. I also read on their site that all events are book signings unless noted. I havent seen anything that says it isn't a book signing, so i'm leaning towards it being one. It also looks like the capacity of the room is 500, so a signing would be able to be accomplished? Sounds fun.

please post the link for this. thanks.

wow...i need to check back in with IORR more often...i got out of the compulsive habit!

Damn. It really is a compulsive habit, isn't it. thankfully this is the only one for me, but I'm going to need to train myself out of it, because I don't like compulsive habits.

otoh...it is nice to keep abreast of news like Keith and NYPL!

just got an email that there's going to be a presale for these tickets for "Friends of the Library", ($40.00) and then those tix will be $15 each.

What if this gig is sold out just to the friends of library presale?

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

Do you know when pre-sale is?? Thanks!

UPDATE - Friday Sept 24th 4pm EST (UTC - 5 hours)

Tickets for Keith at NYPL were supposed to go on sale today but I have heard 2 different--and compatible--stories.

sources: (1) representative at the ticket vender and (2) NYPL employee involved with event

- NYPL originally planned for this to be a 500-person event and are now rethinking that - whether it will possibly be larger, and if so picking which space in the library is most appropriate. Also, they're still figuring out how many comps they're going to give away vs. pre-sale vs regular sale.

- public tickets will go on sale in 2 weeks; pre-sale might be sometime next week. All TBD.

the ticket vendor is showclix.com as far as I knew, they had "no' information. The NYPL employee that I spoke to named Steve works in the friends of the library office at NYPL and told me that presale will be next week and an eblast email will go out - best to get on the email list for that.

He also said being a friend of the library for $40 doesn't guarantee you a shot at the presale. These are gonna be harder to come by than Stones concert tickets!

yup, that's who theyare, but as I say above, I received information from them, so people don't need to really keep calling them.

just an educated guess, I've been talking to both parties for the last month on a weekly basis, now it's down to a biweekly basis as the event gets closer. If I am blessed enough to even get a pair of these tickets, it will make my entire year! Right now I want this more than a stones concert..I know you are a librarian, I am just your average avid reader, I live for my public library system, I let my books go overdue just so I can pay them the fees incurred so they can use the money that they so desperately need.

Now I've just convinced myself to become a friend of NYPL, get on the mailing list, and hopefully take part in the presale which you mention may be next week.

Any news on pre-sale?? --- anyone get any emails?

I called my friend Steven at the friends of the NY library office at the NY library, presale and general public sale being delayed a week or so. Reason, Keef's manager/agent is still communicating with the organizers.

Thanks for the update - appreciate it! I was told by NYPL staff that a presale is definite, but no word on when...

yes it is definite, and you are eligible if you are a friend of the library ($40)
then your tix cost you $15 each and no service fees.

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

Anybody know why the tickets for Keith did not go on sale today?

When will they if they haven't already?

LMK,

Kris

here's the thread where people have been sharing what they know about it: [www.iorr.org]

They're still working out details like which venue at the library to hold it, how many tix will be for sale, for presale, and given away as comps.

I emailed same girl yesterday, got same response, only it will be "this week", or next week. Damn, I'm leaving for a cruise on the 14th, I hope to get 2 tickets before that! Also called NY library office, they had no info.

Mick's rock, I'm roll.

He will be in London on October 28th to do interviews with European press. (German, Dutch I belivee)
So he's probably flying in on a night flight from London to NYC.
Wish I could be at the library...

Still no news on the sale of these tickets as of today. I contacted Live@nypl.org and the library office by telephone.
