what exactly is the voucher and where and how do i get it?
only asking b/c i have tix to the shins/spoon merriweather show but might not be able to go but can for sure come to the 930 club show and want to know if the vouchers will be handed out during merriweather
-
Can't you just present your spoon/shins stub?
-
i don't think so, it specifically mentions the need for a voucher as well so i'm just trying to clear it up.
-
I believe that people who had tickets for the original 930 show can go to the club and pick up vouchers. If you go to the Merriweather show only, your ticket is your admission, but you'll be in a different line come show time. So...
old 930 show=voucher
merriweather ticket=no voucher, but you can stand in line and try to get in to the show.
Someone please clear this up if I'm wrong.
-
That's the impression I was under. You may want to get to the club super early.
-
Alright here's the deal:
â?¢ If you have a ticket to either of the original Spoon dates it is valid for the 10/23 show. Admission is only guaranteed if you present your ticket prior to 6:45.
â?¢ If you traded in your Spoon ticket for a ticket to The Shins at Merriweather you must go to the 9:30 booth at MPP to obtain your Spoon voucher. Again admission is only guaranteed if you present your ticket prior to 6:45.
â?¢ If you only bought a ticket to The Shins you can bring your ticket to the 10/23 Spoon show and space permitting you will be granted admission. This will be first come, first serve and admission is not guaranteed.
Please direct specific questions to human@930.com

what was face value on the original spoon ticket?
-
Any word on set times???
It's gonna suck if we have to be there by 6:45, and then have to deal with 'normal' set times a la 9:00 and 10:00 p.m.
Thanks

Why are you going? Didn't you say that Spoon was lame the last time you saw them at 9:30?

For those who care, the club never reached capacity from what I could tell.

this was a great gig. and i really like shows that end before 11 pm on weekdays.
though it seemed like, from where i was standing, most people at this show were unfamiliar with anything before "kill the moonlight." super lame.

that's too bad. now i wish i would have tried going.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Joe looks at a band's set list, then picks one song randomly from their back catalog to gripe that they didn't play?

Just got done listening to the npr stream. Sounds like it was a fun, solid show.
Maybe they should've sold a few more tickets online but I know that would've been a little risky.

spoon put on a clinic last night. i think this was my 8th time seeing them and this was by FAR the best. i was legit freaking out when they started with "i could see the dude" ==> "utilitarian" ==> "minor tough" then when they went into the "girls can tell" stuff i figured out they were having fun with the set list, going through their career, in order, even in terms of placement on album. great gimmick for the hardcore fans.
i've seen enough mediocre shows by them to know when they're feeling and not feeling it, and they were ON last night and they knew it. loved having the horn section for the handful of songs, everything sounded extremely dynamic. so many highlights.
and the club was maybe half full.

Well I love the Metal Detektor song. It's one of their best.

Wow by reading this thread and the free folk phantasmagory one, it looks to me like you're having a pretty awesome week.
So they definitely could've sold more through tickets.com.

Nope. Due to my bum ankle, I was upstairs and my assessment is that the place was about 60% full for the Ponys, and I think it did reach 75-80% for Spoon. Definitely not capacity -- lots of room in the back, along the sides, and upstairs.
And I was a bit disappointed by the crowd -- after all the whining about a club show so REAL fans can see them in a smaller, more intimate environment, for the first half of the show folks weren't very emotive down there in front.
But, it was a really good show -- I was surprised, and Spoon has moved up my list overall now that the live show matches the quality of the albums a bit better. They were "on" enough that by the second half the crowd livened up. I'm not sure they deserved that surprise second encore, but I was happy to get it all the same.
-
Completely agree. Fantastic show, and I loved the set list. It was halfway through the show before they got to anything from their latest two albums, which was just fine by me but may have been a letdown for more recent fans that didn't have all the albums. The crowd was appreciative but seemed to me to not be feeling it as much as I was.
A big thank you to the band and the club for making this happen. Everything went smoothly. I have to say, though, that I was completely shocked that the place wasn't full. You had 2 days worth of original 9:30 tickets, plus those that had vouchers from the Merriweather show. My only thought was that maybe a lot of people decided to go see the Shins then didn't want to do 2 weeknight shows in a row. Crazy.

Oh, and the Ponys were very good too. Poser Psychotic is such a great song.
Second encore was great, I think the band just wanted to play a little bit more. The house lights and music were already up and the crowd wasn't exactly screaming their heads off at that point.
-
In defense of the club, they did post on their homepage that there was plenty of room and that folks should feel free to come on down.
Not sure when that was posted, but I saw it all afternoon and again last night when I got home.

I didn't see the announcement until I got home last night, well after the show had ended. The website had said sold out ever since the show was re-announced and there had been so much hype leading up to it about how admission was not guaranteed even with a voucher that as someone with neither an original ticket nor a voucher, I couldn't foresee any way I'd be getting in and hardly would have expected or predicted that ticket sales would open back up and that I should be checking the website all day just in case.

Sounds like lack of effort caused you to miss a pretty good show.

Yeah, I am pretty disappointed about it. I liked Spoon a lot the last time I saw them and would have enjoyed a show at the club. But really, when for weeks people have been trying to get the details of this straight and the club has been saying that entrance is first come, first served and not everyone with a ticket is guaranteed in, does it follow logically that people without tickets will be allowed in? In my mind, it didn't, so I just made other plans rather than sit in front of my computer praying for a miracle. Hopefully I'll catch them next time, but I just think it's strange and unexpected how this worked out.

The Hype Machine surrounding this entire Spoon visit definitely far exceeded reality...

I think they only sold 600 tickets for both original shows, and I'm sure some people who bought tickets for Monday couldn't go on Tuesday. Also, I'm not sure how many people who had just regular tickets for the Merriwether show knew that they could also go to the 9:30 show. I think mostly the original 600 club show ticket holders were the ones mostly in the know. But I, too, was surprised that the show was not packed.
It was a really great show. I talked to Britt and Jim after the show and they both said that they were happy to do the 9:30 gig and really should have just done the two club shows as originally planned.
Oh and Metal Detektor was originally on the setlist as song 4, but it was crossed off.
