Originally posted by Samantha:Who on earth said they were important? It's gonna be a fun night of silly rock and roll antics. Nothing more. Nothing less. In this case, people were smart enough to know that if they want tickets, they need to put forth a little effort. It seems to have paid off.
wow, I really liked The Darkness and all, that song is way catchy and addictive, and I would LOVE to see them live…but damn, are they really THAT important? I can't see myself staking out a website for ANY band…I can't believe all these people are so desperate for just this one. what is it exactly that's got all you guys so worked up??
The Darkness Announced!!
Why not save your money for a worthy cause instead?
Geez take a work related phone call and come back to find people already asking for tickets to the show… Unfortunately, I'll be watching this show from the cheap seats as the other DJs who grew up listening to the Darkness influences was as stoked as I am about djing the show.
I would watch the front page regularily thats where any additional shows will be announced.
and any tickets requests will be promptly moved to the proper forum and good luck for those of you trying to get tickets.

Woah. Tickets are already going for over $75 a pair on ebay. Dang. I guess if you don't have them…
Who would pay that much to see the Darkness? I mean, sure, it's probably going to be somewhat Flaming Lips-y camp and fun onstage, but that's a lot of money. I don't get it.

the darkness are hypemasters wet dream… the young want to see because the band is deemed cool, the middle aged balding guys want to rock again…
i suggest registering on the darkness site for any future presales…
and hell yes $75 is to much, save the money and see several shows… go see The National, British Sea Power, The Von Bondies. these bans will put out significant product down the road. the Darkness are just the newest version of Andrew WK or the Strokes. will anyone really give a rats arse about the second record? maybe if they pullout of mothballs the songwriting team responsible for Sweets hits.

Does anyone remember when the Caps made the playoffs and Dot-Com Teddy wrote a computer program that disallowed Penguins fans from buying tickets for games at the MCI Center?
Someone should do that for other venues here in the area. Most of the eBay Darkness tickets are out-of-town scalpers.

let's face it, the state of ticket sales in this country *sucks*. Scalpers, ticketbastard, free market capitalism…
My personal favorite is the "shipping fee" for will call tickets.

i met this guy at a U2 concert a couple years ago. He had quit his job to follow them around the country…he was funding his trip by scalping U2 and Britney Spears tickets on Ebay.
i'll bet that most of the scalpers leisurely got their tickets through the presale, if there was a presale. presales don't benefit the true fan anymore, seeing as there are sites you can pay money to that reportedly track such things. basically presales suck

Plenty of tickets already available on eBay

Just curious, but is Nikki Sixx really dead?

Headbanger's ball can have the Darkness host and run through 80's metal classicks, and Nikki Six can return from the grave for a guest appearance.

Does anyone remember when the Caps made the playoffs and Dot-Com Teddy wrote a computer program that disallowed Penguins fans from buying tickets for games at the MCI Center?Yep. I remember that. (Nothing like when abe sold group tickets to the Detroit fan club in the 98 finals before the general public here.)

Oh well, at least I didn't camp out for days like in the old days. Staking out a website for an hour in the morning is nothing. I'm just bummed that I couldn't get tickets.

News about Pitt vs Georgetown @ the MCI Ctr on Tuesday:
"Pitt erased an eight-point deficit and turned the tables in a 68-58 victory before 11,876 fans, about half of them Pitt fans…"
"with 12 seconds remaining, the Pitt contingent chanted "Let's go Pitt" making it seem like a game at the Petersen Events Center."
I remember many Caps/Pens games even back @ the old Cap Ctr where it felt like a home game for the visiting team.

Like skeeter, I expect the Darkness to be a fun, theatrical, spandex clad, scissor-kicking, tongue-in-cheek rock'n roll show.

I expect the crowd to be filled with poppy people… (unlike the crowd at the re-release of This Is Spinal Tap in theatres, what was it, 3 years ago?)
