Sweet! Would love to see how the books' material is reproduced live. Also very surprising to me that they're headlining at the 930.

Oops, that should actually be the 2nd and 3rd. Couldn't edit it in time.

Finally some anti-scalper moves being taken by the band, after the awful experience trying to get tickets to fans in Montreal and London, UK hopefully this will prove to be an effective method that others will adopt, though with big brother (Clear Channel, Live Nation, et al. ) in the mix for nearly all venues except these obscure one-offs that doesn't seem all that likely.

Yeh, that's going to be a toughie. It took some doing to get them to play ATP in May, I'd have been surprised to see them Mainstage at Black Cat. THIS is a shocker. And though I love the city dearly it is definitely NOT that hip!

Hey there - long time… thanks for the heads up, I received the email with 5 million other people. Everybody is trying to get tix to this show. I'll be lucky if I get any, but I'm trying to stay positive. But the bright side, I know so many people trying to get tix, that one of them is bound to take me :D

yeah you're right. because no brokers live in new jersey or new york and can pick up tickets at will call and pass them along to a customers. do you really think will call only solves the ticket broker issue? it doesn't. nothing can really stop supply and demand, only limit it. if you want to get tickets, learn to get them the same way the brokers do - with practice.

supply and demand really can't be destroyed. only limited. stuff like this helps, but it wont solve the problem. it will only mask it. there are ways around everything.

chockey, stop frontin'. you're not going to convince us. making all tickets will-call will make a HUGE difference - only the most determined scalpers are going to order will-call tickets, hope they get a customer for their inflated prices who is willing to go on faith that everything will work out on the night of the show, and then go through the trouble of going to the venue to pass on the tickets. impossible? no. but MUCH less likely. this is the type of effort a fan is willing to make. good for arcade fire, these should be some great shows.
the problem with scalping is that it's too easy when you can buy remotely and in advance.

Excellent. Just what I was hoping for! What consititutes an "early show" on a Friday?
With no opener would be even better!

Galactic are doing the late show.

absolutely. totally agree with you. i guess the point i was trying to make is that whenever something is sold out, no matter what the circumstances, it's ALWAYS somebody else's fault. tickets.com. the brokers. the fact that it wasn't will call. something. you're never going to satisfy everybody.
i applaud the arcade fire for putting such measures on their shows. its a step in the right direction and will certainly limit the re-sale of any of the 5 shows by a great deal, but will not limit it completely. even with 5 shows and will call only, tickets will still be re-sold, and somebody who didnt get tickets will still place the blame on somebody else. i wasn't trying to convince - just trying to point that out. no hard feelings.

no one blames the band for choosing a small venue :) It will still be extremely hard to get tickets for the arcade fire shows due to the capacity of the venue and higher demand.

Ironically, there's a chance we might go to NYC that weekend, but no interest in seeing Arcade Fire.

Thanks for letting us all know! I've been wondering when you and yours would be in NYC next.
