Beastie boys at 9:30

Thursday June 17th, tickets available through HFS only.
They did this in Philly before the Tibetan Freedom Festival (at some place called the Factory, I think) under an alias. I had a friend who worked for Y-102 and scored me and a buddy a ticket. Ranks right up there in my top shows of all time. A must see show.
Most likely that was the Electric Factory.

Too bad about tickets not being available to the public. That's gonna be a great show.
i thought u could only win you're way in, I need some confirmation about being able to buy tickets to this Beastie Boys concert
You can only win tickets to this one.

For these type of ticketed concerts, they really have 1000 tickets or so on reserve? Seems like an awful lot to give away. me thinks they might open it up to people who belong to their site.

Which pretty much elimates 95% of the people on this boad.
It's a shame that Seth can't take 100 tickets and give them to board members. I've always wanted to see the Beasties in a small venue. The closest I got was to seeing them at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1992.
898 tixs

and free only threw hfs
No concert is impossible to get into. For the Blink 182 $1 show only 122 were available to ticket buyers back in October. Why can't they do the same thing like Blink did. People should earn tickets, not phone lottery luck bullshit.
I saw the Beastie Boys in the same room back when it was WUST Radio Music Hall. It was a great show and that was before the place was fixed up and the sound improved.
5/28/94 - I was there too. One of my all-time faves. The whole place was going nuts. The whole floor was a giant throbbing mass of people. Lots of people dancing their asses off in the balcony. Fantastic show.
how I loathe hfs.

So, people won tickets and the remaining 122 tickets were sold? And was the requirement to purchase to be made in person? (Sorry, I don't remember the details.) How about just plain ol' sell/buy method? Online at that.
What is more frustrating is, this isn't a band that comes around often or has been actively touring.
Eh, I think I'm complaining for nothing, 9:30 could possibly open up ticketing.
Well as if it isn't obvious, if anyone gets a pair of tickets and wants to get rid of them I'll take em! :)

I earned a pair of tickets to the HFSTival back in 97 I think it was. Didn't have to call to get them. Just had to get buck naked on Rockville Pike at 7am and squeege car windows ;)
