LA is on sale on Friday...I would imagine the others will be around the same time. Good gawd. The Aragon better be prepared. I remember hearing when they played the Metro in 1991 that it was some loud shit. So it's definitely all 4 from the "classic" lineup then, eh? That is good.

The Concourse is an interesting choice for SF.  I'll guess I'll go to that one.

Yeah...at least you don't have to get on a plane! That being said, I can kill a few birds with one stone by going to Chicago by paying a visit to the family and having a free place to sleep, plus I can get more miles on United.

Dang. I hope UM/Wisconsin is a 12:00 pm game. I could be out of Ann Arbor by 4 and in Chicago by 8, if all goes well. If it's a 3:30 kickoff, I'm screwed.   :(

i think a bigger concern will be the ability to score tix for both nights - methinks this will be a very quick sell-out.  you'll need back-up - someone else will have to try for tickets to the other night.
 
 or am i over-estimating the demand for a reunited MBV?

i dunno if youre overestimating, but id prob guess yes. considering they were giving away verve tix (1/2 price tix were available night of), i cant imagine MBV is going to create that much more buzz. I think Roseland might even be bigger than the WAMU theater (but i could be really wrong on that one).

wamu: "The WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden, which seats between 2,000 and 5,600 for concerts"
 
 roseland: "The venue according to its website can accommodate 3,200 standing (with an additional 300 upstairs)".
 
 i'm thinking that the capacity for the verve was at wamu's higher end, since they had a pit instead of seats.  so it appears that the verve @ wamu held more people then mbv @ roseland will, but not by a huge amount.  and TM was offering half-price verve tix several days before the show, i remember that i got an e-mail and pulled up a pair of sec 300 row A.

Is there a presale or anything?
 
 Damn, $52???  I think it cost me like $15 or $20 to see them, Dinosaur Jr., and Superchunk in Chapel Hill in (IIRC) 1991...

Looks like it'll just have to be one NYC show then.

Don't know of any pre-sale info.  I'm just going by the info on ticketmaster.

took me a second to figure that out... here are direct links for the intelligence-impaired like myself:
 monday (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/000040A1E05C756E)
 tuesday (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/000040A1E269763A)
 
 that's a non-negligible price jump between chicago and NYC...

Sorry 'bout that.  I just thought people might want to see all of the links if they were interested in different cities.

Just got two for Roseland on the 23rd.  Later on I'll probably shoot a triple double because today was a good day.

You guys think they'll play DC at some point?  I'm thinking they will..

Post by: jd930 on May 09, 2008, 11:45:00 am
Not sure if they will be playing DC or not, so I just picked up a ticket for Roseland.  Let the NYC adventures ensue!
 
 Hello BoltBus!  Anyone have any accommodation recommendations?

doh! totally f-ed up that one and it ended up selling out. My friend couldnt get tix an hour later so i guess she'll be waiting till it gets closer to see whats out there.
 
 equally bummed out that i f-ed up and didnt get sigur ros tix.
 
 i spent 20 mins searching for echo & the bunnymen tix - and thats going to be awesome! at least i had my head straight for something this morning!

I pulled one for monday up, saw that it'd cost close to $70 including fees and threw it back.
 
 
 That's about 70%  of what I paid to see  them twice next month.

Which show are you talking about?  There are still tix available to both Roseland shows.  Or am I just confused?
