Fresh Cream

Just found out that the Cream reunion (which yielded four shows at London's Royal Albert Hall a month or so ago) is coming to MSG. Apparently, the three night gig in late September will be their only shows in the U.S.

Obviously, I'd love to be there. There are two major problems. First, tickets START at $65 and top out north of $350. The larger problem is that there is a presale limited to American Express Gold Card holders that runs from September 12 to September 18. On Sept. 18, tickets go on sale to the general public. Unfortunately, at that point I have to think that there aren't going to be any tickets left.

I can't really afford the fees on a gold card just to get tickets for this show, not to mention that I'd be unlikely to be approved given my current income situation. So I'm resigning myself to being on the outside of this once-in-a-lifetime concert.
