Post by: thingsfallapart on June 12, 2008, 10:59:00 pm
I know they sold out two nights at the club last time around but...I'm not really that excited about the prospect of seeing them at DAR.  I wonder if they're big enough to sell out DAR..I still think of them as a band with a dedicated core of fans, but I suppose that's not the case anymore.

club = 1200 people.  DAR = 3700.  so one night at DAR = 3 nights at the club.  i would most certainly rather see them at the club, too, but if they have the pull to fill DAR you can't blame them for making the obvious business decision.  the chances of them doing 3 nights at the club are very low, let alone a fourth night, so this arrangement actually allows more people in DC to see them perform.

the show will sell out right away (practically).  i'd be most happy to wager any amount you like that no pairs of tickets will be available 12 minutes after onsale (aka "the sweetcell sell-out rule").

If you were a REAL fan (you know, the kind that dave24 debates about with his gf), you'd have seen them so many times by now that you'd be sick of seeing them, and you'd hate their new album and instead be listening to Fleet Foxes.
 
 Instead, you're a fucking poseur.
 
 There's plenty of things in the world to be pissed at, but this is not one of them.

Charlie used to wonder who Fleet Foxes were...     :roll:
 
 Anyway, I'm sick of MMJ. The singer basically yelled throughout their set at Lollapalooza. That was it for me.

 I should also add that my entire first post was tongue in cheek!

I've sworn off DAR once again for about the 3rd time.
 
 Every few years I get suckered into seeing a show there and then realize how much I hate it again.
 
 I really don't know if there's any band that could get me to buy tickets to a show there.
 
 Even with great seats there, the place still sucks.

Yeah, that's one of the many shitty things about the place.
 
 Awful sound
 Absolutely no energy for a rock show
 Seats
 No booze
 way too big for half the bands that play there
 etc, etc, etc

How does a venue have or not have energy?
 
 Are you implying they don't turn on the heat in the winter, or the ac in the summer?

just pulled two in section L, row J. way the fuck in the back, but two together more than a full day after on sale. big article (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/15/arts/music/15sisa.html) in today's NYT on the front of the arts section. so maybe that'll help with the NYE MSG sales. they think they're the new phish or something?
