But the tickets aren't transferable – how can it be done??
Foo Roll Call?
A friend had one…then got locked up on tickets.com once she entered her credit card info. Oy oy oy.
Ah yes…well, the first ticket raid is tonight. But I forgot about that, there will be some hard tickets out there.
Screw this…it shouldn't have to be so hard to get a ticket to a concert. I've seen them at the 9:30 3 times before this anyway. I just don't have the patience I used to anymore. God, is this a sign of getting old?? Crap.
forgive my ignorance, but what is a "ticket raid"?

sold out eh? :(
Maybe that too…I dig the Foos, don't have the last record, but I truly don't have the patience for doing this like I used to. I think once you see a band x number of times, you fondly remember certain songs you saw (plus the antics of Pat Smear) and then you move on to other stuff. I know that the next time the Shins play it'll be presale city and then a fast sell-out. Oh well.
Does anyone know how early we can pick up tickets? I'm assuming there will be a pretty big crowd trying to get tickets through will call before the show.
I had three windows open, clicking the continue buttons like I was gonna get the cheese.
Finally after 40 minutes of the 3 different "no way, you suck" messages, the 30 second countdown pages, and the false 10/16 at 4pm wussy-weeder screen, I got my golden ticket!
I'm more excited than dirt. Seriously, I'm panting and so sweaty, I feel like I've already seen them and danced my ass off.
See you at the show!
Kelly :D

I got through the second they went on sale. I am happy.
all of you that got tickets suck! I live about 3 hours away in Hampton Roads and my friend from the DC area called me and left me a message on my cell phone about the secret show and I didn't get the freakiin' message until 6:30pm tonight when I was getting to my night class!!! She got two tickets and I had to take a freaking test at 7pm! oh the pain.

There are NO Hard tickets out in public. I won through 98 Rock at a ticket raid which they told me that I would be on the guest list. I went to the ticket raid last night at Buffalo Wings University. Last night winners are on a guest list as well.
Originally posted by Fooer:Forgive my ignorance, but how do the tix raids work? i've never gone to one before. are the chances good on getting tix? do they make you do something stupid to get them? just wondering…

Foo Fighters have not been the same since Pat Smear left the band. That doesn't mean that I can't go see them and have a good time though. I'd give my left nut to hear them play Exhausted. If ever there was a night when they would play that song, this has got to be it… Unless they do an acoustic set which would also be nice. Who knows that they have in store for us?!?!
Why your left nut? Why not the right one instead?
