> I keep buying tix then he announces a more convenient date!
the reasons the tour is being announced in dribs and drabs is because if he's announced them all at the same time the less fashionable and convenient venues (Blackpool and Bridlington) would struggle to sell. By announcing Blackpool and Bridlington first the tickets have been snapped up by die-hards, many of whom will go to the new 3 dates as well. Its a cynical marketing plan, but it seems to work.
