Yup. They dropped right around the time I was in 8th/9th grade. Whoa . . . . Feeling old now . . .

I saw them on a triple bill with Smashing Pumpkins. That show was probably the nail in the coffin for me when it came to modern rock.

as a peppers fan, i take solace in the fact that my group's intelligence is still above that of incubus fans :)

frusciante is indeed a guitar god. just like a million others who were teens during the BSSM years, john (along with page) is who got me into playing guitar.

lolla'92 (RHCP, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam) remains the best day of music i have ever experienced, in no small part because of the chilis' closing set (even though john wasn't there). this will kill what little cred i have here, but i'm looking forward to seeing them in january.

…get off your high horse dickhead, Freusciante is fucking insane. If you can't appreciate him you half the intelligence of a vegetable.

Just becuase i'm a n00b doesn't make me a retard.

see what i mean?

$300 for floor seats for the Peppers? Are they serious? Does that come with sex and/or getting high with them? Good grief.

i suspect that those prices will drop in the days before the show. looks like everyone and their dog is re-selling tix to this show, and people aren't bitting. i predict an eventual scramble to dump those tickets.

this happens always. I remember Radiohead tickets in Philly were $350 for a pair the week they went on sale, and then were down to about $200 the week before the show.

true, but i'm under the impression that this show is particularly over-scalped. a friend of mine missed the onsale so we were checking out the usual ebay/CL/ticket broker site. there are a LOT of tickets available for re-sale, an above-average amount it seems, and asking prices seem silly. some would-be scalpers will be left holding. radiohead stayed at $200 because it was such a small venue. my advice to anyone without tickets: wait.

related: Wired has an article about online scalping. moderatedly interesting, nothing new though. Diary of a Scalper

well, i meant that Radiohead went down to $200, the tickets were what? $100 a pair for face value? twice face is a good price in such a small venue, but it still dropped almost in half, the chili's should too.

I tried scalping Pumpkins tickets in Boston back in 2000 or so, bought 6 and used 2 and tried to sell the other 4 outside, no dice, i couldnt even GIVE them away…

so yeah, scalpers lose out sometimes for sure. and this could be one of those times. whos opening for them anyway?

i'm tempted just to go to the show because i know that might be the cheapest way to get tickets, day of the show at the venue you can haggle, maybe even after doors open tickets will drop easily.

Ugh… This board is looking more and more like
this one with every passing day.

my follow up story to this is that i once saw RHCP/Foo Fighters/Blonde Redhead in Providence and we didnt have tickets…waited til BR went on and finally this one scalper gave us 3 tickets for $20!!!! (this was actually the month after i lost out on the Pumpkins show)

(why did i go to so many crappy shows in 2000??)

they're still around?????

this board has terrible notions, views, and misconstrued facts regarding ticket brokers, scalpers, and the re-sale market.

terrible meaning our views to them are very negative or terrible meaning they are extremely off base?

what i have offered in this thread has been my own personal experience, not a notion or view, and the facts are most certainly not misconstrued.

when i said terrible, i meant off base. incorrect. ignorant. untrue.

not negative. people who can't get tickets to a show they want to see and see other people selling them are allowed to be upset and negative. but that doesn't mean you're allowed to be ignorant.

whos being ignorant here? i am not sure what you are talking about. perhaps you posted this in the wrong thread.

i saw RHCP once and they all came out wearing only one strategically placed tube sock each. Missed out on rendition of "owner of a lonely boner" they did on early small club tours… Did I just really date myself?
