Spoon confuses the issue further

But…but…I already sent my tickets in for a refund! Why does Spoon hate freedom?

Good for them (and Seth) for trying to accomodate everyone. It sounds like a clusterf*ck though.

So tickets.com won't be selling anymore tickets to this?

i am SO PISSED. i already returned my fucking tickets. what the hell do i do now?

Oh man, I understand the intentions were good here but if 3000 people all decide to use their tickets to get into the 1500 capacity second show, this is going to be ugly.

In fact, this is probably going to cause rioting among people who got refunds/trade-ups already but want into the 9:30 show.

I feel sorry for Seth for what is no doubt about to take place in this thread. I'm thinking 400 posts by Thursday.

It should make for some great reading for those of us who are bored innocent bystanders, though.

Yeah, I have a feeling this thread and the one that will no doubt pop-up the day after the event will be car crashes I am unable to look away from.

*gets popcorn*

I'm not going to have a heart attack over it or anything, it's just a concert, but this plan really is unfair to the people who got refunds, and I really hope there is a way around it for us. I would really like to go to this show. I mean, they told us to send our tickets in for refunds. If I had known they would change their minds and reschedule the show, I never would have asked for a refund. Grr.

Only a little over 600 tickets were sold for both dates combined.

That's wierd. It seems like twice that number were bitching about it….

Oh, then trainwreck certainly averted. I'm sure someone will bitch about something though.

Cheers!

That's right…The shows were still on soft sale when they were cancelled.

I'm very VERY happy with this now.

Thank you to both parties for fixing this mess.

Thank you, Seth!

I'd kinda like to see Spoon and Damo Suzuki in the same night.

And now it's very doable.

Who's got my extra? :)

what? fixing this mess? i dont have a ticket anymore. i just returned it on friday!!!!!! now how am i going to to go the show? this is fucking ridiculous. nothing is "fixed." :mad:

Two lines makes no sense - you'd have to have THREE lines (impossible) to accomodate those of us who have not yet returned or upgraded our tickets. I bought a ticket for the 23rd and I can't go on the 22nd and that shouldn't make me a second class citizen. I think the people who originally bought tickets (all 600 of us) to one of the two shows, should have priority, particularly those of us who bought tickets for the 23rd. It's only fair. I hope you figure ot a way to do this. The explanation on DCist makes NO sense.

There should be a rule here where you have to have over 100 posts to be able to bitch about anything club-related.


Tickets/ticket sales-related as well.

And Damo sings "Spoon" while Spoon covers "I Am Damo Suzuki"?

I think that the holders of tickets for the 23rd do get priority:

"Bring your unused 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."
