To avoid scalpers and Craigslist scams, consult this handy guide to the shows soon to go on sale ...

The lovely Tower Theater in Upper Darby just announced the following ...

• Huge Pink Floyd fan? No, they are not reuniting as some recent rumors have suggested. But the Australian Pink Floyd is the next best thing (I admit to seeing a few big Floyd tribute acts, so I know). October 10th. $39.50-$49.50. On sale this Monday, 10 a.m.

Robin Williams (who was sensational last year in his guest spot on Law & Order SVU) has had a pretty good life. He was sued by a mistress for allegedly giving her herpes. He knocked up his son's babysitter. He had a tremendous cocaine habit. And he recently went to rehab for the booze. But ladies, take note, he's now apparently single and on the prowl! Maybe you can get a date when he nanu nanus around the Tower's stage on October 30th and 31st. $57-$102. On sale this Monday, 10 a.m.

• A month after he joins his former Grateful Dead pals for the big Obama benefit at Penn State, guitarist Bob Weir and his much, much less interesting band RatDog swing down our way. Appropriately priced at $39.50. On sale this Saturday, 10 a.m.

• And then there is Amy Grant. Amy Grant ... hmm ... Amy Grant? Who the fuck is Amy Grant? Oh, ri-ight. That Amy Grant. I'm pretty sure she's back to the praise-and-worship music thing again. I could be wrong. But either way, seems like a losing proposition. November 22nd. $35-$75 (are you kidding me?). On sale this Saturday, 10 a.m.
