Hey Seth

Jawbreaker reunion at the 9:30 club!

And since everyone is still freaking out over the foo fighters…why not just have the Foos do a three night residency (or hell a week long) residency at the Anthem? I don't think they've ever done something like that. It would be one crazy way to kick off your new venue. It would kill the scalpers and plus, some lucky or unlucky crowd could get a night of just a few new songs and a big covers set. (Seriously though any true Foos fan would love a solid covers set. I even joked at the RFK gig how they could just keep playing covers all night)

Scalpers don't have any of these tickets sister, just a bunch of rich white youts from in and around DC.

Oh so that's why they're going for $1,000+ on the third market. I wasn't sure if it were scalpers or what. I just knew someone is trying to sell what they have for a crazy amount and I had to explain to my friends out here in Allegany County how it works with paperless tickets. I also had someone on Facebook tell me I was a jerk for finding the $100 price a little too rich for my blood (for me to get tickets for myself, my mom and my sisters, it's quite a bit of money) but this lady sounded like she had never even stepped foot in the club before. "The band is being generous playing such a small venue…" I was like "You do know that they've played the 9:30 and Black several times. And I'm pretty sure Dave still is one of the owners of the Black Cat. It wouldn't surprise me if he invested money into the Anthem." Of course, I didn't get a response after that. Not that I'm trying to be a know-it-all. I love music and everything 9:30 club. I've been coming to the club since September 1998 at the age of 13. I totally support what Seth does. I'll put it this way, if I didn't, why on earth would I have a 9:30 club tattoo on my wrist? I have a feeling there's a good reason for the $100 price tag on those tickets with it being opening night of a brand new venue that sounds like it's going to be quite legendary.

except that it came out in '84…  :P
yeah i thought about that too…really..but I think Forever Young may have taken a while to percolate up in America..remember Alphaville was new back then, and from Germany.. it took a while for that to become a big song..I went to high school in California between september 85 or so and march 87 and i remember forever young was huge back then.. this was all pre-internet…etc.
Rob Zombie at the Anthem around Halloween would be fun.  I see he is touring around then, but no D.C./MD date.
Arcade Fire, at one of your 100 venues.

Good thing they have a D.C. date in September.
O,h.  I'm late, to the caring about this band, thing.
By popular demand (below) I have relocated my question.

That thread seems to be more about tickets than the venue but no worries either way.

Hey there, Seth!

Just bought seats to QOTSA. They're way up on the 3rd deck. Sounds scary.  How good/bad will the sound and sight lines be?

Can't wait to check the new venue out.

Spiritualized are booking some West Coast shows. Any chance you could get J. Spaceman to do a DC stopover?
hey seth,

excuse my ignorance on this question . . . but is ticketfly owned or associated with Ticketmaster / LiveNation?

I just received an email from Ticketmaster, thanking me for my purchase to the LCD Soundsystem show, which I purchased through ticketfly, and that I will be receiving a free copy of their new album, if I "just click here" and give my address and phone number and Name. 

Is this a scam email?  Doesn't this site already have my name and address and phone number, since I ordered tickets from them and they are sending my tickets to my address and name? 

Edit . . . Just Googled it, Ticketmaster does now own Ticketfly.
