How long, how long...

I did find that there is a fanclub presale tomorrow along with the 930 club one today. By the time the all the presales are done the place will be full!

How quickly did tickets go for the last Snow Patrol concert at the 9:30 Club? It sold out, didn't it?

Can someone PM me the password. I ddin't get my Volume for April yet (i think my mail woman reads them first)…

Thanks everyone, got it.

This is one of those classic games of box office chicken. I don't think the general sale on this one will sellout in 5 minutes, and I probably could wait to pick them up at the club. However, in this case I think the $7.50 added charges are worth it to not risk a sellout or rearrange my schedule to get to the club on the first sale day.

It looks like Round 1 of presales has sold-out. Apparently, Round 2 starts up tomorrow via Snow Patrol's website. Round 3 on Saturday at 10am? This is kinda ridiculous.

Really, the link wasn't up at 10? Didn't even notice. You know how calm we all are here.

THANKS, Shadrach. I was freaking only because we had a g-damn fire drill at 10:04. I went to a friend's office and there still was no link. But, it showed up, I got two tickets and she got two tickets.

YEAH, thankie thankie 9:30 and Shadrach. ;)

Glad everyone here got the password – I was out of the office for an hour and a half, so couldn't help.

I hear you, TS, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs sold out their 'soft sale' in just a day or two, so I'd expect Snow Patrol to go faster than that. Like you, very much worth the $6/ticket to know I've got them (two were $52.25).

ticketmaster is also doing a presale for ticketmaster list serv members as well. i got that link this morning. so that's 3 presales-th3 930, the SP website, and ticketmaster. and then, of course, is general sale on sat.

but for the first time i can recall, i actually got a presale to work and was able to get 2 tickets thru the 930 presale! yay! thank you 930 staph!

Am I missing something, or is 9:30 club not listed on the Ticketmaster presale? I got a notice from TM yesterday and most dates are there except for DC. And the Snow Patrol Website may have a presale at 10:00 pm? Is that right?

The 9:30 Club uses Tickets.com as its ticketing broker, not Ticketmaster.

This is incorrect. We do not sell tickets through Ticketmaster for 9:30 shows.

Today in board history…16 years ago to the day people were freaking out about getting in on the Snow Patrol presale.

God . . . I used to love those moments of being all excited about getting tickets to a show, that you knew was going to be very difficult.  I love the fact that I got to sit outside of RFK back in the day to get ok seats to see Pink Floyd, The Division Bell tour.
