I tried that game earlier after seeing on 930.com that the show sold out. The lady took ALL my info., which got me excited cuz I thought I was going to get tickets. And then she said it was sold out. Damnnnnn. Such a tease.

Weird. I also called after 930.com said sold out and got two tickets. Might be worth checking in periodically at least. Or maybe I was just lucky? :)

Same here. What a hullaballo, but I'm happy the ticketing system worked quickly.

Ironically, it automatically spit out two for me, and when I tried to change it two four, it wouldn't allow it. I don't care. No concert is worth $50+ anyway, to me.

what happened to the special pre-sale at 5:30? more like a post-sale i guess. screwed… ticket company miscommunication leaves me with no tickets.

I love Canada. I love Toronto. Last time I played Toronto with Terry Woods in 2003, twelve people showed up and STILL I love Toronto. But we can only go where people are prepared to offer us realistic fees. We cost more than most promoters expect, but I'm afraid that's their problem, not ours. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but between 1984 and 1994, a lot of people made a lot of money from The Pogues, none of them actually in The Pogues. This time, it's different.

Got 2 tix. Yeeehah. DC here I come. Was a little surprised at the $50 per ticket price, but figured this is a once in a lifetime show.

Man, I figure 50 bucks aint bad to see my favorite bad. Look at those "heavy hitters" selling tickets for $60 for the nose-bleed section and $120+ for decent seats. Personally I'm happy. AND I'm flying in from Texas for it.

They already did this morning. There was a mix up I guess and the regular tickets went on sale before the pre-sale tickets. So the show is totally sold out now I suppose.

Yeah, I checked a few minutes after, and f'n missed out . . .

the regular ticks going on sale early didn't help matters . . .
