I think pass will be posted on the Cure website tomorrow am. Looks like what they did for the Canada shows.
-
ha, i was just about to post this. just sign up for the cure's website, and they'll post the pre-sale code in a couple of days
-
or you could get one from the 930 club mailing list :(
-
I usually don't care about the venue if a great band is playing, but damn, the Patriot Center sucks balls. That along, with a weeknight date, kills my chances at being at this one. But I'm sure they'll put on a good show.
-
of course, they go on sale the one point in the month I am totally strapped for cash.
damnit ._.

65 days of Static too!
-
i was wondering if i was the only person slightly excited about 65days
-
i am.
i'm not sure how excited i am about the cure though.
i'm just worried the new stuff will be as bad as other recent stuff.
-
uhhh - isn't this supposed to be onsale now??

yeah im not getting the presale either.
-
This is some bullshit. The pre-sale definitely did not start at 10 am . . . . .
-
Man. This sucks. I hate sitting here refreshing over and over again. Aren't most Patriot Center shows GA anyway??
-

there is a GA and a seated portion.
-
Well, fuck - for $60 I want to be on the floor!!
-
i think the 96 show at the patriot center didn't have a GA section..? my memory may be fuzzy.
-
This ranks up there with trying to get Pumpkins tickets... Why the FUCK hasn't the pre-sale started??!
-
Originally posted by RustyOrgan:

keep in mind that the presale tix may only be seats... it was like that for the killers if i remember correctly.
so if we do finally get the presale and its just seats... hold off for the general public sale if you want GA
-
any day now . . . . .
-
Is it worth calling TicketMaster??
-
Call Ticketmonster.. that's funny. THEY SUCK!
-
...maybe it'll start at 11??
-
i have a feeling soon we'll get an message saying presale has been bumped until noon.
-
if this would have happened for the smashing pumpkins, ww3 would have started.
-
...a message from whom??
-
Can someone call Ticketmaster and look into this??
-
well, i've gotta get back to work. i'll try again at the regular onsale. the cure just don't matter to me that much anymore.. not with the recent output. the 00 tour was decent, despite the bloodflowers stuff but it's hard for me to think that this tour is going to be amazing.
the us is probably headed for another singles-heavy setlist that is incredibly dumbed-down compared to what the european setlists are going to be.
-
tickets are up.
all seated, as i thought.
-
it's up NOW!
-
it's up now.
-
pre-sale is up... NO FUCKING FLOOR SEATS??!?!!?
-
damn. i am pulling up shitty seats
-
really shitty seats
-
too funny.
you guys have fun with whining in this thread. i'm going to do other things. i wish i could be upset, but i had low expectations anyway.
-
G-A-Y-!
-
that's the first time i've seen a presale to "fans" that gave the worst seats.
-
Really, really shitty seats.
-
I got floor SEC 3 Row N 5-8. so they are selling floor seats
-
I got Floor Sec 3 Row L... so there were floor seats available.
-
I pulled floor seats in row M and row Q... but fuck it. For $70 i'm going to try to do better when the general onsale starts...
-
looks like the scalpers raped us big time on this one. ticketmaster being one of them. if you typed in one ticket, you could sometimes pull up a lousy floor seat in the back sections, never the front. i bet the front sections are already on ebay and stubhub - which is just a scalping outlet for ticketmaster to be able to get away charging different prices for each row of each venue. god, they would love to be able to do that on their own site.
-
ahhh - fuck it!
Just bought floor tickets - section 4, row A. I usually have good look sneaking up closer once the show starts. $70. Man. For $70 they should be playing 9:30 Club!!
-
Well that was painful. Thanks, TM.

they do.... (http://www.ticketmaster.com/ticketexchangehome/?tm_link=tm_exchange_header)
-
i got floor tix too. section6, row F. didnt wanna push my luck and try for something a little closer
-
I hear you on that mr. pot smoker
-
best i came up with was sec 102 row AA (i.e. front row on the rail), or Floor Sec 4 row G. tickets weren't for me, and my friend took too long to get his CC info to me so i didn't buy any. but yeah, i pulled up a LOT of shitty seats before getting those. poor selection indeed, but such are market vagueries when supply < demand.
-
Remember when Depeche Mode did GA for the Patriot Center back in 1998 for their Greatest Hits tour? Now THAT was a fun show. I'm a little surprised the main floor isn't GA, Oasis used to do that every time they came through. I am actually going to try for tix for the Chicago show, I'll let all of you know what I come up with since I can't do the DC show.
-
tired of eating tix and/or being too generous with friends, i bought a single-- section 2, row o. i'm happy; it's better than i had for 96.
-
put me on montel . . . section one seats are on stubhub for $350.00 each. thanks ticketmaster for finding a new way to rip off the customer.
-
i'm actually thinking of skipping this with it being all seated. i'm not paying $60 to sit... i'll pay like $12 and see local h on the backstage the same night. haha.
-
i cant believe they got 65daysofStatic opening. too fucking cool.
-
<img src="http://www.progets.com/simpsons/pics/the%20comic%20book%20guy%20pondering.gif" alt=" - " />
WORST PRESALE EVER!!
The Cure and Ticketmaster can go screw themselves.
-
WTF is 65daysofStatic? Sounds like CRAP to me!!
-
Originally posted by RustyOrgan:

instrumental/post-rock, but not in the Explosions In The Sky/Mono sense. kinda like a cross between "rock action"-era Mogwai and kinski (if you've heard of them.) thats probably not accurate, but its the best i can do to describe them. download their album "the fall of math" for a slightly better idea.
-
Hmm... doesn't sound so bad. Their name reminds me of a band that might tour with Evanescence which makes me gag.
-
Section 2 Row P.
See you there!
-
meh. i think i'll skip this and try to make the road trip to asheville to see do make say think at the grey eagle instead.
-
i was helping a friend for this on-sale (i won't be around for the show), and my best pulls were Floor 5 row F and Sec 102 row BB. he ended up going with something a tad better, but not by much. neither of us got floor 1, 2 or 3. eh.
-
I had floor 2 row H in my cart and realized my card had no available funds. drat...
-

i'm probably going to the 9/17 show at the black cat
-
i don't like the black cat. i'd rather travel farther to see something elsewhere.

sucks about the funds situation.
how the hell do you keep having so much luck (if that's what is :eek: ) when it comes to ticket purchases... what's your secret?!? you never get shut out, you pull 8th row center floors when we get crap... world's fastest refresh finger?
hum, here's an idea: where are you physically located? maybe it's about geographic distribution?
-
I am in Richmond. I do have a pretty fast connection to the net with Comcast. I think the thing about getting tickets to shows is all karma. I've given away my extra tickets to shows many times. Even to sold out shows. I just try to treat folks the way I would want to be treated. All I can figure is that some of that 'goes around - comes around' action is in play.

Just got 6 Cure deluxe editions in the mail from BMG ($6 each!)
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Pornography
Seventeen Seconds
Faith

The Head on the Door
What are your top 3 Cure albums?

Originally posted by wanderlust featuring j. marshmallow:

hmmm...probably:
The Top
Pornography
Happily Ever After
but they change depending on my mood. Happily Ever After is kind of cheating, but that's how I first heard those, so I'm sticking with that.
Thanks for reminding me to pick up some more of those reissues.
-
Tough call.
I would say:
1) The Head on the Door
2) Pornography
and then depending on my mood it's going to be Seventeen Seconds, Boys Don't Cry or Disintigration.
-
head on the door
the next 2 vary with my mood. disintegration holds a fond place in my heart because it was the first time i saw the cure.
-
If wednesday is a tough night.. try friday at the
Spectrum... I believe it is cheaper. I have family outside of Philly so that is the easiest way for me. Question though... isn't a 20k arena a little ambitious for the Cure in the year 2007... not 1987 you know...

North American Fall 2007 Cure shows re-scheduled for Spring
8/24/2007 5:58:28 AM - by CURE:ROBERT
With all apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment it may cause, we have made a decision to move the September/October 2007 North American Cure shows to April/May 2008.
The schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new double album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isnâ??t enough time to complete the project to our total satisfaction.
Although this last monthâ??s tour of Australasia showed that a great Cure show is not dependent on a new Cure album, it has to be remembered that we hadnâ??t played Australia for 7 years, New Zealand for 15 years, Japan for 23 years(!), and Singapore or Hong Kong ever before â?? so the absence of â??newâ?? songs in the set was not really much of an issue.
However, we want to remodel/rework the live show for North America, change things around, incorporate new songsâ?¦ and we need time and focus to do this.
So although we can agree it is a great shame to move these dates â?? believe us we have been looking forward to them more than anyone! â?? and know there will be a lot of disappointed people out there, we honestly feel that in the bigger picture we are making the right decision.
All tickets held for all 2007 North American Cure shows will be valid for the re-scheduled 2008 shows, and of course anyone who seeks a refund will be able to get one.
All validity/refund/rescheduling details will be announced as soon as we have them.
We are still going to headline the San Francisco Download Festival October 6th, and we will still be performing at the MTV Latin America Awards October 18th.
We will also play the three scheduled Sports Palace Mexico City shows October 20th/21st/22nd, as by this point we feel sure we will have finished the new album, and will be more than happy to start dropping a fresh song or three into the set each nightâ?¦
Once again, our genuine apologies to anyone who is upset by this announcement - please be encouraged by our promise:
The Spring 2008 Cure shows will be even better than the Fall 2007 ones would have been!!!
See you all soonâ?¦
Love
Robert, Simon, Jason and Porl â?? The Cure 24/8/07
-
Maybe they'll be added to the Shins show.
-
ouch.
-
maybe they'll open for morrissey.
-
maybe robert is finally going to give the US some respect and actually put together some _GOOD_ setlists for us.
-
DAMMIT!! :mad:
-
That's what you get for listening to the Cure. Forever delayed disappointment.
Brian
-
Brian Wallace prefers the immediate disappointment of My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy.
-
I hope tickets are refunded. I'd like another shot at getting ORCH / PIT tickets...
-
i'm keeping my tix, i doubt i'd do any better than what i got now next time around.
i just hope they dont fuck up the setlist by adding a bunch of new songs. the sets they did in singapore and australia were varied and LONG.
-
At least maybe this time I can afford a pair if someone can't use theirs.
-
Any word yet on when they are going to make an announcement about a rescheduled date? If it's anymore than two or three more weeks I'd prefer to get my money back and TM says they aren't issuing refunds until the rescheduled date gets announced.

considering the shows arent until april/may of next year, i cant imagine they will be announcing the exact dates in a week or two.
-
Well then I would prefer that my money not be held hostage for another 5 or 6 months. I'd like a refund and TM won't give me one. How about it IMP?

No such luck (http://pollstar.com/news/viewnews.pl?NewsID=8324)
All but one of The Cure's previously postponed North American tour dates have been rescheduled for May and June of 2008.
The shows will take place in the originally scheduled venues and all tickets for the 2007 shows will be honored for the new dates.
-
Here's a shot in the very dark, but if anyone can't make the rescheduled date, and feels like selling their tickets, drop me a line.. I really need to make up a concert to my BF, and this is his favorite band. It'd freak him out if I was able. I wasn't able to get seats originally b/c of funds, but I'm able to now (within 2-3 weeks.) Of course I'd pay whatever you paid + shipping / metro fees / etc.
even if they aren't awesome seats. I wouldn't mind, or care.. neither would he.
tia.
-
a friend of mine has just been offered a refund from TM... here's what his e-mail to me said:
Hey - just got an email from TM saying that they will refund tickets - as long as the cancelled ticket is sent to them by 10/25 - so that is good. Although - it does not say if it will be a full refund or if they will keep some service charge.
so at some point, his 5 tickets should be back up for sale. i have no idea when that would happen, other than some time after 10/25.

first, you should hold out for good/great seats - there will be many for sale.
second, you should post this request to the ticket exchange, this is an IMP show so you're within the rules to do so. i have no doubt that someone will come forward with some good seats for you.

check with TM again. from the 930.com front page:
"The Cure has announced their new show date: May 9, 2008 @ GMU Patriot Center. All tickets to the the September 19, 2007 show at will be honored for the rescheduled date. Refunds will also be available at place of purchase through November 1, 2007."

Oh, awesome. Thanks sweetcell. I don't post a lot here and I really hate breaking forum rules of a place I like to visit.
Will go do that nyao.

It looks like they're throwing tickets back in the pool. They're showing mid-floor tickets available now.
