Bright Eyes Face Value...

The show sold out so freaking fast i couldn't even catch a glimpse at the prices…
what was the ticket face value for either of the DC shows?

$25.00

It really didn't sell out that fast…was on sale for a LONG time.

And just last week you could get a pair on ebay for significantly less than face value:

And now suddenly they are selling at $120-150 a pair. Did this band suddenly become popular in the last week?

I really don't get your point. Surely that's a sarcastic question. Oberst was on the cover of every music mag this Spring. Bright Eyes had just recently played a tough to get ticket @ the 9:30. And they just headlined Coachella.

That there would be demand for these shows was not a surprise. Yet tickets were available for well over a month. Even the ticket brokers started to panic - thus the pair of tickets sold just last week for $40.

Of all the shows at all the venues where tickets truly are hard to come by and complaining is justified - this is not one of them.

If a fan doesn't have a ticket by now they've got no one to blame but themselves. So much so - that I'm siding with brokers here. You should have to pay a premium if you waited this long and still expect to see the show.

Just my thoughts. :D

Although 930.com did not advertise the show until it was sold out. I found out thru saddle-creek.com and bought thru the link on thier site.

and does anyone else think that Oberst reminds them of a young mix of Jeff Tweedy and Robert Smith? i do…

i don't really see the tweedy thing, but robert smith definitely. even down to the intonation of his singing voice.

yeah the voice is what i was aiming at!
