TOM WAITS is auctioning off 5 pair of premium tickets to shows in Phoenix, Houston, Columbus, and Atlanta on his “Glitter and Doom” tour to benefit various charities beginning Wednesday, June 11 at 10am pacific at ticketmaster.com. The auction for the Phoenix show will end Friday, June 13 at noon pacific, while the other three auctions will end Thursday, June 19 at noon pacific.

“Some folks prefer to pay more, you get a good seat, a good tax write off and a good feeling for helping for your needy neighbors,” says Waits. “It’s scalping for charity.”

While each of these 4 shows have been sold out, Waits held back these choice seats in order to donate the proceeds generated from these auctions to assist the following worthy causes:
