"and whatever happened to devendra banhart…?"


He is still sucking it up somewhere.


I wonder if Michael Gira unleashed that no-talent douche on us as an evil prank of sorts. He does appear to get off on fucking with/torturing people at shows and otherwise; no AC and piercing drones for 25-30 minutes at that last Swans show before he hit the stage I can deal with but signing/promoting Devendra Banhart just crosses the line.


Ugh did I just write a walkies-style rant?

almost.  needs a little more batshit, and at least one tenuous link between the topic at hand and 1) living in the country/cities are dangerous, 2) dino jr/the dead kennedys/widespread panic/the knife, or 3) a conspiracy theory.  throw in a cat picture and you're there ;)

Just thinking about TF this week. It's been awhile since I have used ticketweb and although I do remember the prices were decent as well as the fees, I was pleasantly surprised and wish TF would consider lowering prices. Two tickets to Twilight Singers at another venue were $37.50 for two -fees were only $3.75!!!!!!! for each ticket; ticket price = $15. Seriously, I probably would have paid almost $40 for one ticket for a 930 + TFly show.

I could be wrong but am pretty sure Ticketweb have been an arm of TM for a while.



And I think that the venue also has a say in what fees are. Look at other venues that use TF for examples. 930 are on the high end.

I agree…TF charges a processing fee of $4 for 930 shows….other TF venues don't charge this processing fee

And yes we will be around on Twitter/ Facebook/ here/ The Phish forums posting alternate links if anything goes wrong.


What's the rationale for the alternate links?  At one point should we assume that ticketfly can't manage the traffic and is resorting to randomly posting temporary links on twitter etc?  This was part of the problem last time, not a proper solution.

Ticketfly Amy- Should TF crash during the Phish sale on Friday, where will the backdoor links to purchase be posted first?  I understand you will be posting them in multiple place (here, PT, twitter, etc) but where is the first place I should be looking?

I'm hoping there is a snafu with the Phish tickets just so I can see the epic fatskippy meltdown.

If for some reason we need to communicate with you….I will post here, as well as on www.twitter.com/ticketflydc or answer inquiries at www.twitter.com/flysupport

Not sure yet if I'll be on the Phish forum again. They said crazy stuff to me last year.

How many times were you asked for a "rule #1"?

Oh, also! If you feel like it, you can pre-create an account today to save those steps tomorrow. Just start a purchase for another Merriweather show, don't complete it, and register. Might speed things up? Just my tip!
