The updated Austin360 Music Source blog, the source of this morning’s Heck Of A Guy post, Leonard Cohen Rumored To Open US Tour In Austin, now reports
Cohen’s promoter AEG Live could not be reached for confirmation [of the April 2, 2009 Leonard Cohen Concert in Austin], though a source at the Long Center said the final details of the show are being worked out. [emphasis mine]
In a related item, I have been informed, after a few inquires, that Roscoe Beck, a resident of Austin and the Musical Director of The Leonard Cohen Tour, had sent an email to his friends there, warning them that, since his allotment of complementary tickets was exhausted and Cohen’s shows were selling out rapidly, sometimes within minutes, those wishing to attend the concert should act immediately when seats went on sale. The email also had a link to the ticket sales site.
None of this is, of course, a guarantee, and currently, no tickets are on sale for a Cohen concert in Austin and no mention of a Cohen concert is yet on the Long Center schedule, but it looks like Leonard Cohen fans in, around, and within traveling distance of Austin may be needing these Long Center seating charts soon.
