CULTURE - Tom Waits concert a rapid sell-out
ANTWERP - The 900 tickets put on sale for a concert by Tom Waits were sold out within the space of a morning, according to a spokesman from “Het Toneelhuis in de Bourla”, the venue hosting the Waits’ concert on November 13 next. Sales were launched at 9 am this (Monday) morning and some 52.000 callers tried to get through to the booking number in a quarter of an hour, averaging 3.500 calls per minute, according to the organisers. This is the first time that Tom Waits will perform in this country since his mast concert in 1985 in the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. The Antwerp concert is one of eight European dates to present the singer’s new album Real Gone, due to be released on October 4.
