spoon voucher

what exactly is the voucher and where and how do i get it?

only asking b/c i have tix to the shins/spoon merriweather show but might not be able to go but can for sure come to the 930 club show and want to know if the vouchers will be handed out during merriweather

Can't you just present your spoon/shins stub?

i don't think so, it specifically mentions the need for a voucher as well so i'm just trying to clear it up.

I believe that people who had tickets for the original 930 show can go to the club and pick up vouchers. If you go to the Merriweather show only, your ticket is your admission, but you'll be in a different line come show time. So…

old 930 show=voucher
merriweather ticket=no voucher, but you can stand in line and try to get in to the show.

Someone please clear this up if I'm wrong.

That's the impression I was under. You may want to get to the club super early.

Alright here's the deal:

â?¢ If you have a ticket to either of the original Spoon dates it is valid for the 10/23 show. Admission is only guaranteed if you present your ticket prior to 6:45.

â?¢ If you traded in your Spoon ticket for a ticket to The Shins at Merriweather you must go to the 9:30 booth at MPP to obtain your Spoon voucher. Again admission is only guaranteed if you present your ticket prior to 6:45.

â?¢ If you only bought a ticket to The Shins you can bring your ticket to the 10/23 Spoon show and space permitting you will be granted admission. This will be first come, first serve and admission is not guaranteed.

Please direct specific questions to human@930.com

what was face value on the original spoon ticket?

Any word on set times???

It's gonna suck if we have to be there by 6:45, and then have to deal with 'normal' set times a la 9:00 and 10:00 p.m.

Thanks

Why are you going? Didn't you say that Spoon was lame the last time you saw them at 9:30?

For those who care, the club never reached capacity from what I could tell.

this was a great gig. and i really like shows that end before 11 pm on weekdays.

though it seemed like, from where i was standing, most people at this show were unfamiliar with anything before "kill the moonlight." super lame.

that's too bad. now i wish i would have tried going.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Joe looks at a band's set list, then picks one song randomly from their back catalog to gripe that they didn't play?

Just got done listening to the npr stream. Sounds like it was a fun, solid show.

Maybe they should've sold a few more tickets online but I know that would've been a little risky.

spoon put on a clinic last night. i think this was my 8th time seeing them and this was by FAR the best. i was legit freaking out when they started with "i could see the dude" ==> "utilitarian" ==> "minor tough" then when they went into the "girls can tell" stuff i figured out they were having fun with the set list, going through their career, in order, even in terms of placement on album. great gimmick for the hardcore fans.

i've seen enough mediocre shows by them to know when they're feeling and not feeling it, and they were ON last night and they knew it. loved having the horn section for the handful of songs, everything sounded extremely dynamic. so many highlights.

and the club was maybe half full.
