I'd suggest giving them a call to verify they received your tour request. I've always been able to get them by phone during normal hours. Don't forget your digital camera!
I'm looking forward to having HT... mainly to watch concerts. I really don't like going to concerts.... I pay a lot of money and the sound is usually ho-hum at best. For the money, I'd rather buy the DVD's or CD's and play them at home.
I'd pay tons of money if I was going to watch a band un-amplified in a small venue where I was could talk to the musicians a little. That's worth a lot to me... and I remember those concerts the most... mostly jazz, though.
In the early/mid 90's MTV did its 'unplugged' thing and several radio stations did the same... they had it right... I don't know why that didn't stay popular.
