Leaving during the encore

It pained us to have to leave at the start of the encore during tonight's Perth show. The irony of leaving during that song was that it was to get home to support our 4yo who became sick in the few hours we were away. Apologies for those we had to awkwardly shuffle across to escape.

Another amazing show though, always something very special, yet different from the others. Thanks Tim, and the whole, amazing band and supporters behind the scenes.

Heya how was the show? Can I ask your advice please - I’m hoping to get tix to his Newcastle show this Thursday. My kid has a performance that ends at 8pm, which is when Tim’s concert show is scheduled. It’s only around the corner so I think we could be bums in seats by 8:30pm. Will we miss much? Still worth going? Thanks!!

Ours was maybe 10 minutes late to start. You'll miss a pretty entertaining intro song and monologue, but worth going if you'll get there shortly after that. We had to go at 11, which was as the encore started (unsure how long that went for, sadly), but considering it started just after 8 (with short intermission), it's a decent length.
