Saying Goodbye to Ironside
By Emmie Yates

The band Ironside broke the hearts of its fans earlier this year when it announced that the band intends to separate. The trio, which was founded in 2002, has enjoyed a highly successful career that includes three best-selling albums and three world tours. However, guitarist and lead singer Tom Baxley declared that he wanted to leave the band in order to begin a solo career. The other members decided not to continue without him.

However, before the band disassembles officially, it will hold four concerts at the Wilmington Amphitheater over the next two months. The performance dates are January 1, January 15, February 2, and February 24.

Ticket prices vary from $95 to $229 based on distance from the stage. The furthest seats are cheapest. Some critics have remarked that these ticket prices are too high for a farewell performance, but the cost doesn’t appear to bother fans. According to the band’s manager, James Tucker, “Tickets are selling quickly! If you don’t buy soon, you might not get one!” Tickets can be bought online at www.ironsideconcert.com/tickets.

Ray, have you heard the news? Ironside is holding a goodbye tour! I've included an article about it. Ever since we saw them perform the first year they came out, you and I have talked about going to another one of their concerts together. Now we're running out of time to do it! I'd really like to see this concert with you, so we need to plan quickly. Tickets are selling really fast.

I called the concert hall and there's already one show, the one on the 2nd, that's entirely sold out. Likewise, the concert on January 15 only has the cheapest tickets left because all the rest have been sold. Furthermore, I know that you're on vacation over Christmas and New Year's, so that concert date also doesn't work. Hopefully we can work something out, though.

Let me know which date and seating area you prefer as soon as possible. I want us to get tickets before it's too late!

Arlene
