Below are corrected dates for Tom until early March. The dates were corrected on his website and we can only believe they are definite but, as we know, nothing is set in stone.

Hi, Thursday night showed TJ at House of Blues, Chicaog, today on another website shows Cleveland HOB, do you know which is correct, and if it’s Cleveland, do you know if he’s coming to Chicago at all? Thanks
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:12 am
Yes, could you please look into the HOB Chicago date? I also see where TJ is in Cleveland rather than Chicago? Thanks.

I am planning to buy tix for Tom’s show at the new House of Blues in Boston. It is brand new and does not have a seating plan on its website yet. I’m assuming the floor level is standing only. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to sit/stand. I was wondering if the balcony seats are better than the floor to see him. I’m assuming most House of Blues have the same layout. Thanks!

First, Gill, what do you mean “is it allowed?” The artist, record company and the artist’s management make those decisions. Go back to Elvis with Hound Dog and Don’t Be Cruel as an example. One was supposed to be an A side, the other a B. But both became number one hits.
Lisa, Terry and Monica: Most of the HOBs have the same layout. Cleveland does not appear on the schedule at the moment. Call the HOB in the city you want to know about and they’ll answer your questions.
I found a website that says they offer presales and presale codes. Don’t have time to check fully, but you might wish to check it out.

I just noticed on Tom Jones.com they have him listed at The House Of Blues in cleveland for March 3 2009 i have been in touch but nothing is confirmed but the House OF Blues in Chicago said they had just recieved word the show for March 3 there was canceled so now I am totaly confused
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Ed and Monica, I just talked to HOB in Chicago, the operator told me, its still on the schedule, but not official. I think we just need to wait a couple of days to let it get straightened out and official.

I am sorry Terry you need to call LiveNation in Chicago they do all the booking for The House Of Blues in chicago they are the ones who said tey had just recievd the news the show in chicago was canceled i am like you just wait to see I know originally the show for The House Of Blues in Anahiem was for February but is now Tom Jones.com as March 10 as I said very confusing

D>C> 9:30 Club Oh Yah!!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 12:27 pm
That date at the 9:30 is not filled in. I just checked the website and the 24th & 26th are scheduled for others. I guess it’s just wait and see. Thanks for the info Ellen!

Everyone: Unlike what I usually say —you know, “It’s not official until you see it on TJ.com” — please be aware that contracts have to be signed and all the pieces put in place.In addition, having Live Nation so involved can have the process take even longer. Just wait it out a few (business) days and see what happens.

Hi Everyone!! Does anyone know about any Atlantic City dates?
January 24th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Brianne: Not sure it’s true, but I heard there are no AC dates scheduled through the spring. Again, not sure it’s true! Like Las Vegas, Atlantic City is going through really tough times and the casinos are cutting back. (In Las Vegas, as has been noted) gaming is down 59 (!) percent. Here, many entertainers have what they call “four wall” deals, so the expense to the venue is much less than there. Luckily for AC regulars, Tom is playing many one-nighters in the region. It may be more annoying to get to the shows but, in the end, it probably costs less.
