Good luck getting to the end of the buying process.  And now TM thinks I'm a bot.  Guess that happens when you refresh 1000 times. 

I feel somewhat better I’m not the only one that’s having challenges with Ticketmaster.

I may just throw in the towel and go see Baby Rose at the Howard tonight instead.

have a “decent” sky lawn spot and can’t even see the monitors let alone the stage
Unless you get the railings you can’t see shit
The twilight sad Does sound good though

Was at 9:32 around 6:20 and there were zero lines (although weak beer selection)

Seeing tons of empty pav seats, but we are an hour before the cure hits the stage
They must make more on their merch than tickets

Ok night saved, made a power move to get a small bit obit I could throw my blanket on and now can se the stage


Also WTF with the dc airports tonight, SO got grounded on a flight from Orlando to dc in Charlotte

Pilot was like “umm we have radio silence from all dc airports and we ar landing out of caution “


!!!!

I got in and am over in section 201. No thanks to fucking Ticketmaster. Even calls to them were useless. Fuckers.

Big thanks to people at a restaurant in Columbia that  sold me their extra. All of us in dining room were going to the show. .

Sorry to miss you guys at 932 but I didn’t get in until 7 and wanted to check out opener. Which I like. I see a 930 date this fall…

Looking forward to the show dissection tomorrow 😆😆😆😆

Funny there is a Cured (meats )restaurant where I parked
I bumped it to people ask if they were getting on the right elevator
Them: we are going to cured
Me: this is the right one mpp is right over there
Them: no the restaurant cured, we are going to the show after
Me with the dad joke: oh so you are going to get cured first and second

Never seen lawn so crowded. Instead of taking spot BEHIND the back fence grabbed a spot near IMP tent.  Can't see stage but closer to the action. Also stopped by 9:32 didn't see anyone familiar (I don't know what any of you look like), I left

Ok we had the meet up. Thanks to all attendees

Sidehatch is ghosting me

Entering contest for signed set list

This extends down the coast. Richmond and Raleigh also have/had ground holds. My flight got bumped to tomorrow. It’s a radar system that’s out.

Beautiful night here…..10 minutes til showtime

I see Sidehatch on the sky lawn

I am far today but show is just awesome


Of course the Cure is probably my second favorite band ever after New Order and they beat them one month a year. It makes me happy that they are so popular now

Sound is tight

Reeves Gabrels Is in the band!

Felt that wailing guitar was off in Charlotte sometimes

But was wailing most of the night

Yeah ugh they haven’t played Charlotte Sometimes

Great show… lots of songs I didn’t know

What the heck is Omar coming?

Is this a “local” reference to the wire??

Probably a reference to the Wire; who knew Robert was a fan.

He sure did have fun on stage last night. I don't think I've actually seen him smile before.

Solid show, solid set, amazing lights and graphics, top notch professionalism and performance from him and the rest of the band. Excellent example of what a large classic outdoor summer concert should be. It's been a long time since I've experienced that; Wolftrap is always so much more pared down from a set and lighting design perspective.

I'd give the show an 8/10. I deduct .5 point as I was hoping for another deep cut and another 20 minutes. Philly got 3 hours and we got 2 hours 40 minutes; there was time for them to do another 2 songs before they hit the 11pm venue curfew.

I deducted another 1.5 points because Ticketmaster can go fuck themselves. That was a debacle no fan should go through. And my inner conspiracy theorist thinks it was retaliation for Robert taking them on this Spring. I had to call both my credit card and Ticketmaster to see what was going on. Nothing off with my card and Ticketmaster said my account was fine and it was my card's fault. Yeah, sure, I had already used the card twice that day. In fact, Ticketmaster said I see tickets for sale right now Ma'am, why don't you try again on both the browser and app to which I replied that's what I've done already and I get the same message. Oh he responds, well, everything is fine with your account Ma'am. They changed policy and won't do phone so even though he saw tickets for sale, he couldn't process the sale. Another hour of trying. I'm already in Columbia so I stop for dinner and another hour of trying for a ticket with the same stupid messages online. In a lovely change of events, a group dining at the same restaurant had an extra which I overhear from a distance as I'm on other side of dining room. I yell across that I'll buy it and rush over to introduce myself and get a venmo address to pay them on the spot. They were just going to eat the ticket! (pun intended). So all worked out in the end and yet another wonderful example of good concert ticket karma.

Wow
glad to hear your efforts paid off
Obviously it was meant to be

Incredible outcome.
