The Pogues coming to "Washington D.C."

If the Police and Madonna are getting $200 plus, then the Pogues must be worth a G at least.

I'm seriously thinking about coming up for that show….I can always get tickets on the day if I pay enough, and there's no hope they'll come to FL.
Um, neither the Police nor the Madonna are worth anywhere near $200. So your scale is off.

I agree, but that's what they were getting…
They were $50 last time…and went pretty fast.
SO there is nothing on this website about when the general public will get a chance to buy Pogues tickets for the 3/9 concert. sadly, i missed the presale for DC. any idea when tickets will go on sale for the unfortunate people like me? i think i am going to scarf up some Baltimore tickets just in case.

I thought I read it would be Thursday, but I may be wrong. Good luck, should be a great show.

Uh…have you been on The Pogues site?
tickets.com comes back with nothing when you enter "pogues" or "the pogues." ticketmaster is only showing the 2 shows in NYC for the Pogues. weird.
yes, i have been on their website (which is how i found out that i had missed the presale). it says that tickets go on sale tomorrow, with a link to the sale "to be announced." absent a desire to create a feeding frenzy, one would think that providing more than 24 hours notice for announcing a show and putting the tickets on sale would be de rigueur in this business.
check tickets.com after 6 pm. Since the general on sale date is tomorrow, it will definitely be on tickets.com tonight.

tickets for 930 shows normally go on sale every Thursday at 10AM. go ahead and check tickets.com later tonight. the show will probably be listed there with the exact on sale date and time. good luck getting tickets.
there ya go, as per tickets.com

It looks like one dc date and one nyc date will be added once the dc/nyc shows sell out.
anyone know when show #2 will go on sale? immediately after #1 sells out? or on friday, or next week?

i can't make the sunday show, but might be able to do monday night.
#2 not on sale immediately, but definitely happening
but the real question is; Is Shane gonna be there?

Ive heard rumors he might not be. it would be a let down expecting to see him and he's not there.
He'll be there. Philip Chevron, the guitar player, is on medical leave for throat cancer, but since he is on the mend we remain hopeful that he will be back in the lineup in March. Shane MacGowan, on the other hand, has not missed a single show since they reunited. So, yes, Shane will be there and will likely balance a bottle on his head without spilling a drop.

I think you meant to say:

"Shane has started every show since they reunited. He's probably finished just over half of them."
chances are I'll miss this one too. way too steep. I'm hoping, but… bleh. =/ I'm glad they're playing though maybe I will end up getting some luck from Santa.

Nonsense…..he has finished every Pogues show.
