James has had a busy few weeks and we've got behind-the-scenes photos! On January 30, James, Kim and cellist, Owen Young, performed at the Library of Congress in DC to honor long-time Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The LBJ Foundation event celebrated the presentation to RBG of the Foundation's "Liberty & Justice for All Award". Click here to see photos from that event.
Also last month, James welcomed Jane Pauley and her CBS crew to TheBarn to tape James's CBS Sunday Morning appearance. You can find a gallery of photos from that day here. Last but not least, head here to see candid photos from James's recent visit to NYC's Ed Sullivan Theater for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert!

Published by AaronComments Off on JamesTaylor.com Presale Tickets Explained
James is happy to provide a limited number of tickets for the US Tour via James's exclusive fan presales starting tomorrow, February 4. These tickets may sell out quickly, in some cases within 30 minutes, and we apologize in advance for any frustration. The number of tickets available is not in James's personal control. If you are unable to purchase tickets in presale, you will have a second chance during the public sale.
To help ensure tickets are purchased by fans and not resellers, seat locations are not assigned until several weeks after the presale. This is by design, to protect your ticket purchase. If you see resellers advertising actual venue seat locations in advance of the public ticket sale, THOSE TICKETS ARE BEING SOLD ON SPEC, meaning the resellers do not actually have the tickets in hand — and may not be able to provide the advertised tickets.
To participate in tomorrow's presales, please make sure you sign in to your JamesTaylor.com account and then visit the Schedule page. If you do not already have a free JamesTaylor.com account, please click here to create one now.
If you have any problems during or after the sale please contact help@JamesTaylor.com for assistance.
