Simon & Garfunkel confirm reunion
Tuesday, September 9, 2003 Posted: 3:59 PM EDT (1959 GMT)
 
 
NEW YORK (AP) -- Unless they get in yet another squabble, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are reuniting for a concert tour.  
 
They made the announcement at a New York nightclub on Tuesday adding a performance of their 1970 hit "The Boxer."  
 
"Because we tend to [go on tour] every ten to twelve years, I think this is probably going to be the last time that we're going to do this," Simon added about the group's scheduled tour.  
 
There has been talk of a tour since Simon & Garfunkel performed together to open the Grammy Awards ceremony in February, and they have done the logistical groundwork, said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of Pollstar a concert industry trade publication.  
 
"It was the Grammys that forced it out of burial," Garfunkel said of their reunion.  
 
The former duo has reserved dates at concert arenas across the country, according Bongiovanni.  
 
The mega-selling folk-rock duo broke up more than three decades ago and they've had a fractious relationship since. They put their arms around each other after singing "The Sound of Silence" at the Grammys.  
 
"We've known each other since the age of eleven. ... Forgive, forget, move on. It's not like you live forever in life," Simon said at Tuesday's press conference.  
 
They've reunited periodically, most notably for a concert tour of stadiums in 1983 and for a series of shows in 1993, Bongiovanni pointed out.  
 
The New York-bred duo, known for Garfunkel's angelic voice and Simon's writing prowess, scored hits with "The Boxer," "Mrs. Robinson" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water."  
 
Offstage, these old friends had trouble creating the same harmony. When he was inducted as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, Simon said of Garfunkel, "I regret the ending of our friendship, and I hope that one day before I die we will make peace with each other.  
 
After the audience applauded warmly, Simon deadpanned, "No rush."

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel kicked off their 40-date world
tour last Thursday. This is the first time the singing duo
toured together as Simon & Garfunkel since 1982-1983. The
old-time favorites, The Everly Brothers surprised the duo by
appearing at their first tour stop in Pennsylvania and will
be joining Simon & Garfunkel's Old Friends Tour.

Well this thread got the addams' family scurrying (sorry for the spelling) around trying to get to the Toronto event (November 30th) but it's sold out already.  Ticket prices were $50 (side views and obstructed views), $85 for next better level of seating, then $175 and then $250.
 
We tried but there appear to be no seats available online.  Darn!
 
So instead husband just called to say that the whole family will go see The Lion King which we have been wanting to see for a really long time!  Hurrah
 
(however it is not a substitute for S&G - so maybe seats will still come available at one of the two more affordable levels.  I don't care if I can see them.  I just want to hear them)

You might be able to get seats off e-bay at a semi-reasonable price.  It's hard to say with events like this.  Sometimes you'll get a deal and sometimes they will just balloon out of control.

It's always funny to see the people who have theirs listed 4 times higher than anyone else...what's the point?  They aren't gonna sell for that much, and you just basically wasted $ buying tickets you can't resell.
