Very cool! I feel so welcome!
BUT
all you nasty little "junior members" with your two posts complaining about not getting tickets at PRESALE that you somehow feel entitled to?
damn interpol

Tickets will be available only to women who participate in a wet t-shirt contest, and will be distributed in the order of best to worst performance. Men seeking tickets must beg the women for them, or can get one of a limited number of tickets for beating markie at either a game of pool or a two-player pac man game. [/QB]
Actually if you are you have a lot of 'splanin to do.
Oh, nobody has a problem with new people on the board. But when presales come along 2 things happen.
1) New people sign up on the board and start yelling "GIMME THE PASSWORD I'M THE WORLDS BIGGEST FAN AND I NEED TICKETS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!".
2) Not everyone gets tickets, and it's usually those same new people who start complaining that the presale sucked, there weren't enough tickets, 9:30 sucks, the board sucks, real fans like me deserve better, it's not fair, blah blah blah. Pretty lame reactions, considering 90% of the tickets haven't even gone on sale yet.
The regulars here see this every week and it's usually either very amusing or very tiresome. It depends on our mood. Today it was quite amusing. :)

So all the indie kids and abercrombie kids like this band now. So what…. Isn't success what every band strives for? Shouldn't the band enjoy the fruits of their labor?
But that is why it's much more difficult to get tickets this time around. That's all I was saying. Don't read into it.
Nice summary and to repeat my earlier post, newbies are more than welcome here. New blood keeps the forum lively. It used to be that regulars could pick apart people who dropped cups from the balcony or got caught under aged drinking, now all we got is the fallout over presales. Consider the hazing over and maybe someday you'll be taking potshots at newbies complaining about presales and passwords too.
Originally posted by fasteddie:No, no – not the point, to me at least. My issue is for new folks coming on trying to get the 9:30 club password – I won't give a junior member the password, but we all come to the forum for some reason – usually a particular show we want to find out about. Stick around, talk about music, how bad ticketmaster is, whether genre names really mean anything…and we'll all be sharing passwords someday soon!

:D
I am glad Bags.
But I can't keep typing like that to make the newbies feel at home. It gives me a headache.

Meh, it wasn't really people yelling about the password and stuff like that, it was just that the presale was flat-out broken, down to the email that the 9:30 club itself sent out. I've been in several presales and regular online sales for 9:30 Club shows (including the last time interpol came to town in November) and never had it go as poorly. I think it's worth bitching about, but if you don't, that's cool too. We can agree to disagree :)

And it's incredibly easy to get tickets…I did it with a dial up. You see, these presales wind everybody up….oy.
YES! VICTORY IS MINE!

Thanks, Spoonman,for the heads up. Plenty of tickets on there and I was so wound up yesterday! Wound up like a wind-up toy… an wind-up toy that is pretty psyched to see Interpol.
I wonder if part of the reason that everyone was so into the presale/Interpol in general is that they had a song from antics on as background music in three scenes in the OC two weeks ago. And yeah, I watch that show and so do you, so don't let's make fun eachother.

indie kids, oc fans, and other assorted malcontents, there are still plenty of tickets available for both nights so tell all of your darling friends
Originally posted by kathode:I agree with this completely. It wasn't so much the competition, which I'm fine with – if I get tickets, great, if not I can usually get tickets I want through other channels. But the presale was just a mess; it actually seemed like someone was filling in the information on the shows as the presale started. I have this picture of someone rolling out of bed late, getting on their computer at home, and filling out the presale info in their pajamas.

I love the 9:30 Club; it's a great venue and from what I can see, very well managed.The state of the presale was just a bit of an unpleasant surprise.
Got my tickets this morning, needless to say I'm happy.
Can I buy Interpol tickets tonight at the boxoffice at the 9:30 Club?
