James Taylor tickets available?

Looking for a bit of info, we logged onto Tanglewood‘s website, and noticed that suddenly tickets are now available again for what had previously been a sold-out series of benefit performances by James Taylor this week.

Not just lawn tickets, either. There are actual reserved amphitheater seats that can be yours for the buying. At least there were when this story was published.
