Bright Eyes and Ted Leo 21+?

i dont understand what was so hard about this. if you were there at 9:58 and know how to refresh, it shouldn't have been a problem.

Uhh I was doing that with two seperate windows and still didn't get in. With high demand, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Its not a matter of it being "hard" its a matter of being lucky.

its all luck. Me and my friend were on 2 computers with multiple windows and we didnt get any.

It's a question best posed to Eddie in the FAQ forum, but my educated guess would be Ted Leo doesn't sell 1200 tickets in <8 hours.

Sorry, you're right. I think I just freaked out when I saw the red text of doom on the Ted Leo page (although it was "high transaction," not "insufficient tickets").

I'd give Ted Leo about two weeks to sell out. Even though he never sells out the Black Cat until the day of, he sold out the 930 Club a few weeks before the show last time he played here.

Thanks for your opinion…although the Black Cat is smaller than the 9:30 Club, no? I can't argue if it's empirically true, but how does that work in terms of supply/demand?

where can i apply to 930's legal team?

the Teo Show will sell out, probably faster than usual, especially after opening for death cab two nights in a row.

i say the 2 weeks notion is pretty accurate.

It is not luck.

I have never been unable to get tickets to a show at the 9:30 Club, Bright Eyes included.

The 21+ tags on these shows was a mistake by Tickets.com. We are still an all ages venue.

I highly recommend people buy their Ted Leo tickets ASAP. If you don't want to spend $$$ on the charges, definitely get them by this weekend.

Sheista. I had to finish d/l some stuff before I could log on to get a ticket…Welp, looks like I'll be looking for a ticket..

Didn't Ted Leo sell out the last Black Cat show in less than a week?

My bad. I guess those of us who happen to get shut out of high demand shows sometimes are just retarded.

Teach us your tricks, oh master of 930 ticketing…

I'm pretty sure it sold out almost immediately.

ted leo black cat last year went on sale on friday and by sunday morning, it was sold out.

I am not trying to start trouble. I just don't think much luck is involved.

As I said earlier, I have been to dozens of shows that sell out quickly and have always been able to get tickets–if chance was involved, I would have been unable to get some of the tickets.

1) Be aware of when tickets go on sale.
2) Have a good internet connection.
3) Log on early.
4) Hit refresh until the sale appears.
5) Never buy more than 2 tickets at one time.
6) Keep hitting refresh until you get tickets.
7) If necessary, repeat step six for up to half an hour.

…which are the exact steps nearly everyone takes to get high-demand tickets. You are not more skilled than anyone else, you have just been lucky.

1) I don't think I possess secret knowledge and/or skills.

2) There is no such thing as luck.

Keeping up with pre-sales (from the artist/label, not just venue or Ticketmaster) is a way to increase the odds of getting a ticket, and if you miss on that, you still have the general on-sale opportunity.

Saddle Creek has held presales for the last few Bright Eyes shows that I can remember. The system had its issues for the upcoming show, but I was able to get two tix pretty easily.

That being said, there's still a good dose of luck involved.

So people who win the lottery are…??

Answer: Stupid and fortunate. There is a very small chance of winning.

It all comes down to probability. If something happens to me all the time, I don't consider myself fortunate.

I don't want to start a battle of semantics, but to me, "luck" implies some mysterious power being involved.
