Anyone get QOTSA tickets? I never got an email. I got a text saying I was going to get an email but nothing… I don't see the show up on Ticketmaster either.

EDIT: Crap the text says valid the 27th. I must have misread all the stuff last week. Smh.

Presales were supposed to be today per the initial e-mail…but now it's looking like it's next week.

That's annoying

Well, ATG teamed up with Broccoli City and it seems BC got the Saturday line up. Their focus is usually hip hop oriented.

what is it with those guys…are they affraid of DC
were the shows so poorly attended

can't believe I sold my ticket to see them back in 2011, didn't realize that was the last time they'd come through (Ok I'm sure there is a date I missed)

they played 10/16/2012 at Ottobar, 10/17/12 and 10/18 at U Hall;4/7/2014 at 930; 9/4/2014 at the WTMD First Thursday in Baltimore.

I bought tixkets for the friday/saturday in Brooklyn, same as last year.

I am hoping that they also play an ottobar 20th anniversary show this fall. I give that a 37.5% chance.

The Ottobar 20th Anniversary show was already announced. 

9/23

PAGENINETYNINE, MAJORITY RULE, WILDHONEY, POST PINK
Celebrated Summer Records 11 Yr Anniversary & Ottobar's 20 Yr celebration!

Can't there be another 20th anniversary show? like the empty bottle is doing in chicago for its 25th?

Maybe. They have not announced anything for a few days before and after the show that I posted about.

I've said it once and I'll say it again… Rock shows should not be held in places where you're expected to be seated.

Well you can sit until the band starts and then you should stand up.  It does guarantee you a spot so you can go to the bathroom or get a beer when you want.

Where is Atomic?  He was full of wit and wisdom…

is a presale really needed?  i mean, tickets aren't any cheaper, and i doubt that he can move 6000 tickets in one day… getting tickets during at public onsale shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, but were you in a super excellent seat?  I think not.

I'm pretty sure that there is no such thing as a super excellent seat at Echo.  So very happy to never have to go there again.
