Apparently they sold out the Troubadour in LA for two nights in record time. Friends in LA said that tickets were sold out before they even went on sale to the general public.
They also sold out the KEXP Yule Benefit show in Portland and that had to be around 700 people. They're also doing multiple nights in SF at the Great American Music Hall which is also larger than the Black Cat. So the 9:30 Club makes sense.
I think we're going to go to see the show in Philly on the Monday night as well. I can't get over how much fun they are to watch live. It's great to see a young band with that much enthusiasm (and, at the same time, humility).

Crap! I need one too. I kept hoping to stop by the 9:30 box office, but just didn't have time with the holidays…

I have a feeling it may be a combination of DC-area fans and fans along the East Coast traveling to DC for the show. The shows scheduled for NYC and Philly have also sold out, so there may be an overlap.

I don't know if any of you are south of DC like myself, but there's a virtually unannounced show (I don't see it on the band's website) at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC that still has tickets on sale. That's probably like a 4 hour drive from DC, but it's a Friday and even with gas you'd probably save money over buying ridiculously scalped tickets.
Just a heads up.

I think it went up on the website on 12/22. That was about a week and a half ago. When did it actually sellout? I didn't notice until yesterday morning. I'm not very surprised at all though. They topped everyone's "Best of 2004" lists and all reports say their live show is even better. This was guaranteed to be a hot ticket.
On the other hand, The Scissor Sisters also sold out well in advance. That surprised me a bit.

Mac will be able to finance a couple of more lame Supercrunk and Portapotty albums.

Who are you pissed at, the 930 club? You seem to frequent the board fairly often and knew about the show last month.
i'm pissed at myself, not pissed at 930 club … i'm going to go piss, then get pissed tonight.
