Morrissey returns to California - The Scenestar

According to promoter Bulldog Productions, Morrissey will be playing at El Foro in Tijuana on September 20. Ticket prices will range from $30 to $75 for VIP tickets.

Tickets will be sold via http://www.ticketmaster.com.mx and the sale date should be announced within the next few weeks.

Torr also sends info on the El Foro venue, there are pix of it too:

This is the main closed venue in Tijuana, is very small, in its former life it was a Jai Alai (Basque ball) and the court is now the stage area, so you can imagine that the acoustic and visual characteristics are not the best.

The better part is that you get to sit at tables like a dinner-show at a casino and you are not very far from the stage.

There is a bar service going on during the concerts so you enjoy your drinks along good songs.

The place is located on Av. Revolución the heart of the touristic area in Tijuana, around are all the big nightclubs, table dance and bars, also you can find good restaurants just a couple of blocks from the venue. A taxi ride to the hotel zone is just under 15 minutes.

I work at the Fillmore, and showed up last night to discover that Morrissey was written into the September calendar-not once but FOUR NIGHTS! September 23, 24, 26, and 27. I literally fell on the floor. But don't completely get your hopes up-yet. They've been trying to get him there or the Warfield for a couple years, and he always bails out. I'm told that's it's damn near confirmed though!

The Tijuana, Mexico border is only about 10 min from me (and to everyone who is scared, trust me it's not as sketchy as you assume). I hope both locations become legit, I'd love more than anything to see Morrissey in SF on my birthday as well. Truly the most refreshing news I've had since his last date here.

        Do you really want to be at the same show as these sad motherlickers eating their dinner in the middle of the show with a glass of wine? There was another venue like this on the tour in Atlanta GA, 20th July recently and Moz hated it and made comments about people eating meat while he was doing the show. I can't see Morrissey wanting this again. Read aftershow link below.

                                              Think about it. Why don't other bands or performers play there other than Mexican bands or nobodys. Well, because the logistics are a nightmare. As soon as the tour bus crosses the border into TJ it will be pulled over along with all the equipment trucks. Then, the bribes to the Mexican "police officers" will start or they will plant drugs on the band and crew or in the buses. All the gang members from LA will be down there on THEIR turf. You don't want to be an anglo in TJ at a Morrissey concert. Mexicans are very racist nationalistic people and like I said, you will be on their turf. It's ironic because Morrissey is the most white English guy on the planet. The only thing in common Morrissey has with Mexicans is that he was raised Catholic. Morrissey will probably have someone drive him down from his home in Malibu (yes people he still lives in LA) so waiting around before or after where the buses are to see him won't work. The venue has the acoustics of a high school gym. If he walked off in San Diego at an outdoor venue after 35 minutes because of the sound, what makes you think he will stick around at this place? I have a bad feeling about this concert if it actually does get scheduled.

                                              All of those comments about how bad is the choice of tijuana, come from stupid people with anger and racism deep in their minds, but the truth is that Tijuana is the coolest place on earth, they have it all, gorgeous mexican girls, people with good attitude, great food, lot of alcohol, drugs, hookers, porn, beach and sand, i mean all the freedom that the society needs... there's al lot of people that they aren't prepared for this kind of diferent life, they just want a car, a little house and a hamburguer... I hope that Morrissey sings the song "America is not the world" , and make emphasis in the part "america you know where you can shove your hamburger",... "hey you, you fat pig.
