No dates in TX, but they have a SLC show at one of the coolest venues in Utah? Damn you, Siger and Ross.
Fortunately there are airports in both places.

Massey Hall again? No fucking way after the last time.
What was so bad about it? I was thinking of going.
its great only if you are dead center and avoid one of the many, many poles in your line of sight.
I saw them previously there and I had the misfortune of getting "seats" in the bleachers in the upper balcony to the right - the view was horrible (I couldn't even see half the stage) and the seats were obviously made for people from a different time - tiny short people. I'm 6 feet tall and there was no leg room at all, I was in physical pain by the end of the night.
I saw The National there more recently and actually got lower floor seating which was better other than poles all over the place...
People wax nostalgic about Massey Hall, I think it's highly overrated to be honest.
Ok, the general sale was seriously stressful. The venue ticketing system crashed at 10AM and for 10 minutes nothing came up.
So I called on the damn telephone, got right through and after clarifying three times that I wanted tickets for Sigur Ros, no not Sweeney Todd, was offered an uber deluxe $180 seat in the back of orchestra. At the very same moment the online system offered 1st row mezzanine which is my dream seat for any show for only $80. Yes, thank you, that's exactly where I sat the first time I ever saw them, in the same theater.
But guys, the telephone might be the way to go these days.
This looks pretty cool.
I wish the setlist was slightly longer, but given how long/epic most of their songs are, it's understandable.
