Originally posted by Charlie Nakajima, Fired by Mascis:yeah, but Broken Social Scene and Ted Leo won't be on that bill…plus, if you add up transportation costs of going to NYC (including bridge tolls), the cost is the same..maybe more :)

the pavilion (seats) will definitely sell out
explain to me why anyone would wait to buy tickets if they want to go and they're concerned about it selling out

Yes, but then you're in beautiful, bustling NYC and not some pavillion in the burbs.

I like living in the burbs, but if I'm going to seek entertainment, I'm going to seek out something different than my everday default existence.
Besides, if I lived in a more exciting city than DC, I'd probably choose the city over the burbs.

Originally posted by Seth Hurwitz:i'm buying 8 lawn tickets.
explain to me why anyone would wait to buy tickets if they want to go and they're concerned about it selling out
if i buy right now on ticketmaster, i get hit with $72.40 in fees … if i go to the club to pick them up, i have about $8 in fees
i really want to go to this show, so i'm a bit concerned about it selling out before i pick up my tickets, but i know from past experience that, even if the show does sell out all its lawn tickets in the next week or two (not likely), i'll still be able to get lawn seats from craigslist or at the show for face value (without the charges), or even below face
so i weigh that with the $64.40 i would save by waiting to buy my tickets until i come by the club, and it seems like a pretty reasonable decision to me
i really don't think the lawn will sell out.
Personally, I can't imagine this show not selling out! All three bands tend to have tons of people falling all over themselves in this neck of the woods. In fact, I'm surprised there are still tickets available. But, maybe the masses have had their fill for awhile. …nah!
Hoya, I understand your concern and don't blame you one bit. Good luck!

i agree with you about the audience overlap, but i also have another crazy idea … i'd say a good chunk of the fans of these bands who went to these sold out shows are city dwellers who arrived by public transportation / cab, and that they may not have a car to get out to the 'burbs for a show … or maybe there just isn't enough demand for merriweather for these three … either way, it'll be a great show, and i'd actually prefer fewer people …

the venue will be less than half filled.
I have seen two of the three bands live, and all three are awful live.
Seriously though, I would definitely not pay money to see Belle and Sebastian or Ted Leo again.

Anyone else going to LA for the Philharmonic show? The Shins are opening…for me, that's a more attractive show. I haven't seen the Shins since their Black Cat shows.
