Bright Eyes and Ted Leo 21+?

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

And "fortune" doesn't? I agree there's no mysterious being doling out Bright Eyes tickets, but there is a certain element of random chance to getting tickets to these sorts of things. Sure, there's things one can do to increase their odds, but I don't think when a Bright Eyes or Incubus plays 9:30 club that someone is guaranteed to get tickets following your 7 step method.

And I'm not complaining, for the record, I got 4 tix.

You are correct. "Fortunate" was a sloppy choice of words.

The point about "luck" not being involved might assume a large sample – that is to say if you did exactly what you did today 500 times, the odds are very good that you'd get tickets as often as someone else who tried 500 times, all things (such as ticket quantity and connection speed) being equal.

I go to tickets.com to get shut out of tickets.

I go to tickets.com to get "lucky".

i was online 10 minutes before the tickets went onsale, and didn't immediately buy them at 10 because of the indication that the show was 21+. so i called 930 and found out it was a mistake, and when i got back to my computer at 10:02 i couldn't even get 1 ticket.

does anyone know if there's a chance he will play a 2nd night?

It seems unlikely from the schedule. He's obviously not playing Tuesday night since the Wednesday show is in California so that's a travel day, but I guess he could play Sunday as well.

Although, they announced all the 2-night shows up front everywhere else so it makes no sense to have held back that info in DC.

Should've just kept trying. But thanks for giving up so soon; it probably helped my ability to score a ticket at 10:20. Like others have said, sitting there and clicking refresh for half an hour once you've gotten passed the number verification thing is more likely than not to pay off.

Smoking ban + under 21 ban = GREAT NEWS!

What's next?

alcohol ban

Honestly I could live with an alcohol ban since I refuse to pay $6 for a beer and don't drink at the club anyway.

Not that I support a ban, because I'm all for the club making money off of alcoholics and suckers willing to spend that amount of money. Just saying I could live with it.

i think the shows should be 21+

If anyone who scored Bright Eyes tix wants to invite/sell a ticket or two, I am up for going to the show. I was one of the ppl who stopped trying after 10 minutes….I didn't realize how tickets.com works. I have learned my lesson well. Any takers?

Christov, what's in it for me?

;)

Ted Leo and the MEDICATIONS?

Why did they change the name?

I don't know….hmm….well, there is the money and if you think of something let me know. Do you actually have an extra ticket or two?

What about the other local band the medications?

What was face value for the Bright Eyes show?

$26 each through the fan club presale (no service charges will call only)

$25 through tickets.com.
