Guess no hurry was necessary… I have no idea, I'm horrible at gauging what will sell out and what won't. Happy to see that Wild Flag last night sold out. Great show. I miss me Sleater-Kinney!
I know, I'm getting nervous with some of the BC sell outs not sure what to get sooner rather than later. I decided not to get a ticket…I just spent $ for I&W and still want tickets to Cloud Cult and Ted Leo / Beirut if I can fine 'em so I might sit Neko out.

Foo Fighters documentary film may be coming to a theater near you. One night only, April 5th - and will be followed by a live performance broadcast directly into theaters. For our area: click on Fairfax - the city select option is already made, so my assumption is, it would be shown at Fairfax theater at Gov't Center.
Also, not sure if the above or the following constitute the parameters of events / just announced, so feel free to edit the post, Koz. Anyhow, Blue Man Group has decent tickets for sale via Living Social. $75 in box seats no extra fees on top. Last two weeks of March into April - you can pick the show/time you want, just not the seat. Not too shabby considering tickets are $100-150 generally.

Kim Richey @ Iota 4/30 5 pm
Tift Merritt at JJ on 4/22
William Fitzsimmons 4/8 at JJ
Mike Doughty at Iota 4/1 $25 is probably average for him, but too rich for my blood

Neil Young's ticket prices are sickening. Considering all he's said about working folks - in his lyrics and in interviews - to be shutting out all but the rich and gouging the faithful is really inexcusable. It's really marred my once high opinion of the guy and his music. Neil, why do you keep Fuckin' Up?!
I've been saying the same about Bruce Springseed but Bruce's is MUCH more blatant and his started the entire fan ticket gouging way back. Bruce is a bigger douche by far.
You've got to be kidding. I've been to plenty of Springsteen shows - mostly in the pit and lower level seats. Springsteen tickets have never, ever been over $95 for a ticket. And he doesn't have tiered pricing or offer special back stage bs packages like so many other bands. On top of that, he plays 2.5 -3.5 hour sets so you get plenty of bang for the buck, especially if you are a fan.
I feel less ripped off paying $90 a ticket and getting a full show with varied setlists, then paying $40/ticket and watching a barely 60 minute set list that never change, from some of the younger bands going through the motions.
I think the Eagles were actually the first band to charge over $100/ticket years ago, and charge higher fees for better seats. On top of that, plenty of bands charge fan club membership fees to get first crack at tickets (especially when it's pretty easy to figure out the presale codes without having to join). I think this is a ripoff, but if people are willing to pay then I guess bands have the right to offer this option to their fans.
So anyway, please explain to me how Springsteen is so blatant in and the pioneer of gauging the fans.

Bert Jansch opening for Neil Young for this tour

Do you happen to have a source for this? I'm wondering if this is just because people are using poster's from last year's tour with Bert opening to advertise this year's shows. I really hope it is true that Bert is opening again this year.
^^ do you think I'm merely speculating?
Bert's opening. Says so on the Landmark's website.

Amen. "Douche" may be the kindest thing I could ever say about that fake, hypocritical, boring, uneducated cliched piece of shit. AND his idiot, worshipping fans. AND the God-awful band he rode in on.

Completely a false statement. Go back to wiping his smelly New Jersey ass.

I've seen bruce many many times. I'm sure I've never paid more than 80 or 90, and a few times i've been right up literally against the stage. Money very well spent.
And i got 2 tix to see Neil in Richmond for $140 with fees. Def more than I usually spend, but I've never seen him. Seems like every time he tours it's some very specific conceptual thing…this is a chance to see him tour a good album and do electric and acoustic sets of his hits, so I'm in. Not sure when he'll do another like this. Could be a while.
