Pogues show...

Wow. It sold out in 3 hours. I wasn't expecting that at all. Glad I got my ticket at 10am.

Maybe you shouldn't have been an idiot, and posted the previously unannounced fact that the tickets were going on sale today on the chatboard.

what are you on about… it was announced in the 9:30 club email yesterday

Despite having signed up for the mail list several times, I never get the email.

I was hoping to get four at the box office and save on service fees. Then sell a couple of them for a marginal but not exorbitant price to defray the cost of my own tickets and effort in getting them.

If the show had been a little less publicized, I would have gotten tickets. As it was, they sold out prior to the box office opening.

Oh well, looks like I'll have more $$ for Xmas presents and our March vacation.

It was also published in the listings at 930.com as Just Announced

it's interesting to note that aren't any tickets for sale at either ebay or craigslist at the moment for the show… which would imply that it was mainly fans and not speculators snapping up those tickets right away.

I think you could probably get more $$ if you waited until a few weeks prior to the show, rather than trying to sell them three months in advance.

Some people probably wouldn't want to commit to a show three months in advance.

Also, once the Jersey, Boston, and two remaining NYC shows sell out, people have less options, then driving the scalpers prices higher.

And finally, people tend to have more cash laying around in February than they do two weeks before Christmas.

the main pogues site says tickets don't go on sale until saturday at 10am, but presale starts tonight at 5:30 through this website

http://tixx1.artistarena.com/pogues/

maybe you will still be able to get tickets through that?

How were we supposed to know that tix were going on sale at 10 this morning. I don't get this at all.

I'm going to try this option.

The bad news: The tickets for the 9:30 club went on sale prematurely. That really was the public sale, and it really is sold out.

The good news: The Presale tickets will still go on sale this afternoon. When those are gone, they're all gone.

I am told that the promoters may be working to ease the ticket crunch too. Keep checking in.

Thanks for spreading the information and making it that much harder to get the minimal amount of tickets that are available through a presale!!!

You should totally post it. He was planning on scalping some of the tickets so fuck'im.

The username is: pogues
The password is: tickets

Not like it's some big secret. You get all of the info cy simply going through the 30 second registration.

where exactly does are the most pogues fans going to be looking for info on this show here or on the pogues forum… and i do believe a little karma is a play here.

My wife would never give a Pogues show the same level of priority as a massage. Plus, she'd never pay $50 for a Pogues ticket.

And she's been nagging me to get a haircut for two weeks now. I couldn't take 11 more weeks of nagging.

Any guesses on how much tickets will be on ebay/craigslist after the show sells out…if I'm too broke to get my tickets now?

If you had skipped a haircut and your wife had skipped a massage, you could have had enough for a pair of tickets.

Try calling tickets.com directly. ;)
