   The venue only holds a couple of thousand people, and promoter Barbara Strauss said demand has been high even before the tickets are on sale. So if you want to go, you probably shouldn't wait too long.
    "I've sold $7,000 in tickets to my friends," she said. "It's a party every time he comes town."
   There will be an opening act or two, but they haven't been announced yet.
   You'll be able to get tickets by calling 941-355-9805, by visiting www.circussarasota.org or by going to the Sailor Circus box office. The Sailor Circus, which is part of Circus Sarasota, is at 2075 Bahia Vista Street, Sarasota.
