A Note Regarding The Purchasing Of Concert Tickets:
Where’s Eric! advises fans to purchase tickets only from official ticket sources as ticket touts / brokers / scalpers are inherently unreliable. Ticket ads placed by Google and similar internet ads are not endorsed by Where’s Eric!. Fans are strongly advised against patronizing ticket re-sellers and do so entirely at their own risk. Official ticket sources can always be found listed with each date within the Clapton Concert Calendar on whereseric.com.
