Some suggestions so nobody will be disappointed:

The 9:30 boxoffice does not open until Noon so if you want to be sure to get tickets you need to get them through Tickets.com. Either online, by phone, or at an outlet.

The 9:30 Club Box Office Hours (815 V St. N.W.)
12-7pm M-F
12-11pm M-F during show nights only
6-11pm SAT. during show nights only
6-10:30pm SUN. during show nights only

Make sure you are registered at tickets.com before the tickets go on sale, this one may sell quick and you don't want any last minute problems registering.

and from the FAQ:

Q: What does Sold Out mean?
A: Sold Out means that there are no more tickets available for purchase.
Duh. But you'd be surprised at how many people ask that one (this is the FAQ, after all). The good news is, you can buy tickets early, and avoid feeling like you just don't know how life has passed you by. So, if ever that old slogan applied, it does here: "Don't delay do it today!"

Note: If the show does indeed sellout, all requests for tickets posted in this forum, will either be moved to the Ticket x-change forum or deleted depending on how the moderators are feeling that day.

Well, since 10:01 Tickets.com has been saying "Tickets are not available together in the quantity you requested in this section at this time. Please try a different section, or fewer tickets."

The quantity I requested being "2"

Should I take that as an indication that it sold out in less than 1 minute?

Or is this just more Tickets.com technical trouble?

must have been a technical problemâ?¦..it took a few minutes but it worked finally

keep trying - i got a ticket at 10:10.

It seems to work now.

Does this mean that you two both actually want to see the darkness?

I think it will be a fun show.

Music doesn't have to be a serious business all the time.

I think these guys fall into the "Oh, man - you gotta see this" category. I expect it to be horribly fun.

It's 10:16 – is it sold out yet?!?!?!

If someone got me a ticket, I'd go….

i work at a ticket outlet

we couldn't even sell one ticket

wouldn't let me in & bam sold out

a little peeved

yes! it's effing sold-out! i tried to get tickets on-line @10:07 and couldn't. the darkness had a presale on their website.i'm sooooo dissapointed.

I called tickets.com at 10:05 and the lady told me it was sold out. I kept trying online and at 10:17 got through. I wonder what's going on…

any 9:30 out there?

any shot at a second, third or fourth show being added!


PPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLeEEEAASSSEEEE

I just called and was told the show sold out in three minutes. This after trying to purchase tickets for 10 minutes via the web and being told that tickets weren't available in the quantity I requested (Qty 1) at 10:00am.

Something doesn't smell right.

When people select the number of tickets, they are reserved for 5 minutes – people who didn't put their credit card info in fast enough or decided not to buy lose that reservation – so those get freed up … I got my tickets right as they opened up the gates – at first it complained of high server volume – but I got them after two retries. It is going to be a fun show …

It may actually be sold out by now, but it definitely didn't sell out in 3 minutes. Tickets constantly get put back in the pool because people can't type their info in fast enough, they use invalid credit cards, etc.

I'd keep trying until at least 11:00, if you really want to go.

i got one at 1025, a parking pass right after that, and a second ticket at 1035 - now it seems shut down - whew!

Thanks. I will not give up hope! ;-)

I just don't see the allure here…sorry to say that these guys will go the way of Veruca Salt and Candlebox. In 1 1/2 years, used CD bins will be filled with copies of "Permission to Land".
