what a perfect chance for a band to make an entrance through the front of the club while people with flags are chanting how much they're against you.

Tickets/ticket sales-related as well.

I disagree. Those are often the funniest posts and easiest to attack. :)

no one has addressed the biggest issue:

what about the people who RETURNED THEIR 23RD TICKETS?

I returned it. As far as I know, I won't be able to buy it back. That means I can't go to the show? That is a load of crap.

Relax. The news has been out for about a couple hours now. It will be addressed…

Based on the DCist explanation, if you buy a lawn ticket to the Shins/Spoon gig, and arrive early at the club on 10/23, you will get into the show.

Regardless of how the logistics for this show work out, I don't think anyone can complain about fairness. Just because it ends up working out better for some than others doesn't make it unfair. I'm sure all parties are working to put together the best situation for the most people.

I was hoping maybe they's do an acoustic show in my backyard.

DCIst is down for the moment…

So…10/23 is on again at the club and original tickets will be honored?

If so, my beef with the world is over.

Still waiting patiently for information for those of us who returned our 10/23 tickets when the show was cancelled. How can we attend the show now?

Anyone? Bueller?

Is there an update on this? Has this been confirmed by the Club?

It's back on the tickets.com site as 'sold out.'

No can do brother. Britt's not talking to me since I called him out for talking to the folks at DCist as if they or their opinion matters.

I did! Tom was quite helpful and enabled me to recover my returned tickets.

Also, if anyone wants to know, there was another email from tickets.com to purchasers saying the following:

"Hello,

Spoon will perform a special show at the 9:30 Club for those who bought tickets to either of the original Spoon shows at 9:30.

Spoon w/ The Ponys * Tuesday, October 23 @ the 9:30 Club. Doors for this show will be @ 6:00 PM.

For those who bought Tickets.com tickets for either original 9:30 show:

Simply bring your unused Spoon ticket to the show on the 23rd - it will guarantee entry if presented before 6:45, and can still be used for entry after that time, space permitting.

OR

Bring your ticket to the box office at the 9:30 Club or Merriweather Post Pavilion to exchange/upgrade your ticket for The Shins @ Merriweather on 10/22. At this time you will receive a voucher. This voucher, when presented with the 10/22 Merriweather ticket stub, will guarantee the ticket holder entry to the special show if presented by 6:45 PM on the 23rd. You can still get in after 6:45, space permitting of course. Yes that means you get to go to both the Merriweather & 9:30 shows!

For those who have already exchanged their 9:30 tickets for Ticketmaster tickets to the Merriweather show:

Bring your Shins ticket stub to the 9:30 Booth located by the South Gate entrance @ Merriweather on the night of The Shins show. There you will receive a voucher for access to the 9/23 Spoon show.

Admittance is limited by capacity and not guaranteed."

So yeah, basically what DCist said.

Anyone know if we can use our Virgin Fest Voucher for the Tuesday show?
