I'm going.
I don't usually get my email until evening. I'd think a presale would have been announced, as the regular sale would be tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., right?
The real question – do we need to buy these tix right away?

The SF show a month ago sold out about a week before the show, if that helps. It was a smaller venue than the 9:30 Club, but FF weren't experiencing as much airplay at the time either.

i'm getting one tomorrow. i have visions of darkness-esque frenzy for tickets, leaving me to pay an exorbitant fee on a ticket from craigslist…sigh.

It probably will sell out, but not tomorrow. But like the Groupie, I am going to get my tickets tomorrow at 10.

So you're paying Ticketmaster fees?!? Not me, though Marni will probably want to…

I will pay tickets.com fees. It will be the first time since the white stripes show, if I remember correctly. It never did sell out….

A quick scan of TicketMaster availability for other dates shows that some are sold out - others aren't. (Big help, eh?) But that shows that it will probably sell out eventually. I'd recommend getting tickets sooner rather than later, or you may regret it.

If it sells out by this evening, I was fated not to see them and I don't have to rush back from Jersey…

Just bought six… didn't want to take the chance cause my friends would kill me. Still, I'm betting they won't sell out for a couple of days

It's always iffy on shows like this that are recipients of a lot of publicity. This reminds me of when the Shins came to town and a lot of people were first surprised they were doing two shows…then were surprised that both shows sold out.
