Possible sell outs
Originally posted by Rutherford J. Balls:well, i live in Baltimore and its not very convenient for me to get tickets, w/o paying a large service charge. I will be in DC on Saturday, now, if i wanted to go see DCFC, and i waited til then, i would be too late, but if i knew it was close to selling out, than i may make a special trip or buy em online or something.
Bottom line is if you really want to see a show, buy the tickets in advance. Why do we even have to have threads like this?
are you aware that other people are on this board, its not just for you.

At first I thought this thread was going to be about bands that would sell out… you know, like Modest Mouse and "Gravity Rides Everything" in that Mazda commercial? Or like the riff from Ted Leo's "Where have all the rude boys gone" being used as an intro to MTV's TRL? That would have been a far better thread.
Well how the fuck does anybody know what is going to sell out and what is not? It's all just opinion, unless someone from the clubs gets on here and gives an answer.
Would anybody have predicted DCFC would sell out the 9:30 Club a month in advance after selling out the Cat only a FEW days in advance?

That would have been easy to predict. 930 has better publicity. More people look to it for shows. More people buy tickets in advance for 930 than blackcat, as people have higher expectations for a 930 show selling out.
It is pretty easy to make informed guesses as to a show selling out, or not.
Would you have guessed the Old 97's would have sold out well in advance of the show, based on the fact that they had never sold out the 9:30 Club in any previous appearance, didn't have an album out, had been dropped from their label,Rhett Millers' solo album being a sales disappointment, and (i think), not selling out the Black Cat in two solo appearances?

All I can say is this…
If you really want to see a show, no matter how popular the band may or may not be, just buy the tickets in advance. That way you'll never regret anything.
Guessing how popular a band is, how together their fans are, whether people are willing to pay that much to see them, etc. is irrelevant– it's a game you'll never win.
The other plus is that you don't have to come early, wait in line, and hope. You can show up at 10pm and know you're in.

fuck. dcfc did sell out this early? should anyone have an extra ticket, i'll gladly buy it from you. i knew i should have stopped at the club earlier this week. my fault.
Get ready for Sonick to slam you for daying the exact same thing I did…

Grandaddy/Saves the day could sell out.
Air will sell out (waiting for night #2)
They are giving away tickets to Air in the contest section of the website. I've noticed they typically don't give away tickets to shows that ended up selling out.

Well the DCFC show sold out in part due to Ben Kweller being on the bill as well. Kweller had about half the club full at his last show.

sure, I'll just swing over to the 930 club on my way home from work. Yeah, the guy who can ride his BIKE to the club is telling people to just swing by and get tickets. sure. I dont think i would ever use you people as a source for knowing how many tickets are left for a show, but i suppose its no more useless than most of the threads on here.
Ever heard of ticketmaster? Romour has it you can get advance tickets without stopping by the club.

Originally posted by Rutherford J. Balls:I was lucky to catch Air at the Brixton Academy in London a couple weeks ago. The place was absolutely sold out (4,000 person venue) It's amazing they haven't sold out 930 yet.

Originally posted by Rutherford J. Balls:This is true, as it is hard to anticpate who or who not will sell out well before the show date. However, some people don't have the money to purchase tickets at the time they go on sale.

DUMBASS.
you are definitely the dumbest piece of shit on this board. and then some.
Originally posted by El Tee:its funny that we discuss which shows may or may not sell out, and some fuckwad says that if we buy tickets before they sell out, we wont have to worry. thanks.

Originally posted by sonickteam2:Hey Sonick, let's all us burbanites move into the city within cycling/walking distance to the 930 and watch these city-hipsters move out to the burbs when they have to wait in line for stuff because it's too crowded.
