That didn’t take long, did it? Tickets went on sale Wednesday for Patty Griffin’s upcoming shows at Club Passim, and they were all gone in four minutes. Granted, the venue only has 101 seats, but a note on the Passim website still said it was the fastest sell-out in the Cambridge club’s storied history. A Maine native who used to gig in Boston frequently, Griffin is playing at Passim Nov. 10 and 11. No word if her famous boyfriend, former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant , will be attending the shows.
