two possibilities:
1. there were two night tickets for these shows. they were specifically marked as "non-transferable."
b. guest list tickets may not be sold.

B seems reasonable, but he said he paid for it so it probably wasn't that. Probably the "non transferable" thing, he did mention in his story it had that on the ticket. I thought all tickets.com tickets said that somewhere as boilerplate, but I went and looked at a stub and they only say "NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES" so I guess not.
I still would've given the kid the ticket back, although it's probably inevitable he walks a block away and sells it out of sight, so I can't fault the staph member if that's what the scenario was.

Just one more example of the entitlement/"I am above the rules" complex that plagues this crowd. Non-transferable means non-transferable. End of story.
P.S. WTF is "jerry powder"?
P.S.S. It sucks to see personal attacks such as these towards some of the nicest people ever. :( Thread started out funny and has gotten ridiculous.

I agree with big important facts being left out. I was at the club and someone who was an aquantance of a friend went to a show with us. Got kicked out.
The story was amazing in that in no way was it her fault, but somehow she tried going back stage to tell "the guy" (who no clue) that she wasn't trying to go back stage, and it just went down hill from there. It was truly an onion story, layer after layer coming out, to where all you could think was "And they didn't arrest you?"
Yeah, details like the two day tickets on the 930 site said non-transferable, so doing so in front of staff is just stupid. The tossing of the red cup I think is the one closest to reality, but hey he was allowed to stay in with the xx's after being told holding a drink would get him tossed out. Then again he probably was coherent enough to say what was going on.

What is it about these people that they think the rules don't apply to them?
If you are stupid enough to sell tickets in front of staffers, you deserve to have your ticket taken away. It is pathetic that someone would have to get x's on their hands because they don't trust themselves to not buy beer to drive their friends home safely.

Yesterday while driving on the highway, I danced with danger and drove
56 miles an hour. Ha Ha Ha! I'm above the rules and feel holocaustically entitled to do so! The story continues!

don't blame the band . . . just the fans. it's what killed phish the first go around and will likely claim many more bands as victims in the future. so many fans just can't seem to wrap the mental around the fact that it's not just them in the game. i am a numbero uno biscuits fans; flat out worhship them. we all don't act like drugged out drool fiascos milking the blame game when personal consumption of every intoxicant possible becomes interrupted by "the man." the music alone and the live experience is what keeps some of us coming back, and yes a lot of us do realize that venues have to protect themselves at ALL costs when it comes to people toking up, or doing much worse, possibly into an dj am inspired overdose flatline of "should've/could'ves". the end.
oh yeah . . . allman brothers and widespread panic fucking killed it in charlotte, nc over the weekend. nice.

Hah one guy claims that his girlfriend was drugged by a 930 bartender at that show. Who would waste good drugs on one of these clowns?

The roofie drink doesn't surprise me. A friend of mine was drugged at the recent Sunny Day Real Estate show. It takes all kinds.

It's about time for this to be bumped.
Hopefully we get something equally hysterical on Wednesday.

if the DBs were cheaper than $30, i'd consider going just to see what kind of sh*t-show goes down. i don't think this will be a big enough train wreck to justify 30 bones, tho.

Watching Madgypsy work that night will be worth more than the $30.

For a moment there I thought maybe the db's were getting together for an overpriced reunion tour.

it is amusing how a band and its interest to you can be manipulated by what songs of theirs are played by one's musical source of choice, mine being mainly sirius radio. the disco biscuits or bisco whatever, first came on strong to me as the, "band of why didn't i like it before this?" electronica jam. nice. then they did this free web stream of one of their shows a month or so ago to promote the release of their new album. wow. what a strange difference. but then i never knew them or saw them as a live band five years ago, so maybe something just happened. but the overall effect was sloppy, misdirectional, and totally turning the audience into a state of "uhmm, do we like this?"
but who really cares . . . the real talent will be on 13th between e and f on that evening. the staph should switch places with the security they normally use at the warner for the night. you'll have a more polite "oh, i'm sorry i bumped into you and spilled half your beer. here, let me buy you another. where ya from, mate?" time.

I would pay $30 to see the DB's you're referring to.
