i tried to buy tickets at 10:04. It said that tickets were still available, but not in to quantity I wanted. Okay.
I check back in thirty minutes and it's sold out.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Originally posted by granita:You did not have to be on the mailing list. Guess how I found out tickets went on sale last Saturday?? Give up? When I found out tix were going on sale I kept checking the 930 page on tickets.com. Unless you have to be on a mailing list to log in there now…
Again, people shouldn't have to read a message board or a mailing list to be able to buy tickets to a show.
that's bullshit, granita. i had 6 tickets in my cart last saturday afternoon. if you checked the 930's tickets.com page, like most normal people who want to see a popular artist do, you would have had no problem getting tickets.
maybe it's not everybody else's fault you didnt get tickets. maybe its your own for not knowing how to read and keep yourself up to date on when stuff goes on sale.

granita, get over yourself. seriously. you're not the only fucking person in the world who likes indie bands. this show has been advertised for weeks, and this thread began at least a week ago; tickets were on sale for over a week before it was announced on the 930 page. you had plenty of time to get tickets. instead, you chose to think that you're the only person who likes the yeah's, and therefore, missed out.
it's not rolling stone's fault they make good music. its yours for simply not buying tickets when you had the chance.
you say that you shouldn't have to read an email newsletter or a message board to buy tickets to a show. but if really watned to go that bad, any of the above wouldn't really be that big of a deal, now would it?
i'm fucking sick of people bitching about not getting tickets because they don't want to take the time to read stuff about when they go on sale, or other stuff along the same lines. then people wnat to go blame scalpers; when in reality, all scalpers are doing is exactly what you're not. their homework.
2. No, my dear, it's not my fault. When curious about what shows are coming to the 9:30 club, surprise surprise, I check the 9:30 club website!
3. I do read "stuff." Apparently not the right "stuff."
well, if you're not reading the right stuff, that sounds like a personal problem. because nobody else on here seems to have had a problem getting tickets.
quit bitching and do your homework next time.

Not knowing how to read. Good one!
I don't think this was a pre-sale or a soft sale; I think someone (Tickets.com?) screwed up and put the tickets on sale too early, then stopped selling them after a few days, and then started again on the correct date.

I think what folks are trying to say is that there are folks that come here to get connected to what's going on in the DC concert scene.
And there are folks that come here to bitch that those that are connected have better success with the system. Frankly, I don't get that.
And those that are connected are tired of the folks that aren't connected simply bitching all the time.
It's 2006. Get connected or get left behind.

YYYs tickets were on sale way too long for this to be an accident.
Karen O. texted my T-mobile sidekick and said that they are playing a Sunday night show also, so save your gruff for your mamma and get those tickets.
Originally posted by kdbp13:PLEASE say it isn't so. I hate that, when the second show announced is on a BETTER night than the first…I got 8 tickets for Monday, and I HATE Monday shows. I hope to god Sunday sells out to so I can sell my Monday tickets, if that's what happens.

I am a big Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan and I have no f'ing clue that tickets for a 9:30 Club show went on sale. I didn't hear a goddamn thing anywhere. Unfortunately for me the damn thing is sold out.
I might do a poster for this show, even though it's sold out…
PLEASE do a poster. that would be hot.
Here's a rough design I've been working on…
