Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

So, I just bought Bad Seeds tix via the pre-sale, but it does not say which seats they are.  Strange.  Has anyone ever used Sandbag before?

Oh, never mind.  Just saw this in the confirmation e-mail:

"SEATS WILL BE ALLOCATED ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS AND THE DETAILS WILL BE E-MAILED OUT TO EACH CUSTOMER WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE END OF THE PRE SALE PERIOD."

So no idea of what tickets I got through the presale for Nick Cave?
just says two reserved at the DAR?
does anyone know if we can find out what the seats are?

Last time, it said the same thing.  I almost didn't buy them and then I did.

second row.

The only thing that has me worried is last time they guaranteed good seats and this time they did not.  But, I'm just rolling the dice because it worked for the previous show.

So, did anyone else get them?  I'm a little worried that there's another "fan pre-sale" tomorrow that these seats won't be as good as last time, but I went for them anyway.

I registered but it never sent me the email, and of course now it's swamped and keeps throwing db errors. :(

I went on faith as well.  I was pretty nervous last time, but it turned out quite well.

DAR holds nearly twice as many folks as Strathmore.  The day of the show there i got great seats on the floor for way below face.  I'm guessing it will be easy to get cheap seats on the secondary market close to the show.

no, put them back…

My friends wanted first ten rows or nothing so it was a bit complicated.

Since I don't care much myself, I am feeling more and more annoyed by these multiple pre-sales and complicated ways of getting tickets.

And now those Arcade Fire shows have this Amrican Express presale?? That's completely ridiculous.

There is an American Express pre-sale?  What are the details? 

Are you guys all trying to make eye contact with Nick Cave or what?

For the Philadelphia show at least. And also as much as 8 different pre-sales with different codes… That's on the ticketmaster website. I'm actually not sure I want to read the details, I will probably try the regular sale only.

Ok I see there are tickets at Verizon I picked General Admission Floor and I didn't notice it gave me tickets in 104 and then I paid for them.  I wanted GA tickets and now I feel ripped off.  The tickets were 84 bucks a piece too.

You have to dress like a 19th-century dandy or else Win Butler won't give you a reach-around during "Keep the Car Running."

Oh I brought up General Admission Floor now.  Seems if i get these I have to swipe my credit card when I get to the show.  Seems risky as what if I have somewhere else to be that night.  That is a long way away.  And I already have a pair  of tickets.

Last time, that happened.  It was unsettling and amazing.  I think this time I would like to experience that again.

Katie wants to be the muse for "Grinderman 3".
