Title: Fiona Apple
Post by: K8teebug on February 22, 2012, 09:15:37 am
Anyone know if there's going to be a pre-sale password for tomorrow's onsale?  Thanks!

Indeed.  Wondering the same thing.  Though that's much more than I was anticipating paying for it.

I don't mind paying that much.  it seems like everything costs 50 dollars now for anyone who's had more than 2 albums out.

Yeah, right.
Not.

Every show listed for sale at the 9:30 is currently $35 or less.

If it's a presale tomorrow, probably a safe bet that the pw will be in an e-mail tonight. (Despite a full blast going out yesterday...)

And correct me if I'm wrong, you've never paid more than $13 for a concert ticket?

I think $40 with fees (for a Belle and Sebastian show in NYC) was the most I've ever paid for a ticket.

Yeah, right.

Dunno, but I'm not holding my breath for tickets this morning.

Google is your friend.

Downstairs is an intimate music hall and performance space. With a capacity of about 200 (seated and standing), it?s a unique setting to experience today?s most talented, on-the-verge artists, up-close-and-personal. Drinks (cash bar) are available for purchase during shows.

Ok... and this goes back to a conversation we had months ago.

Someone said that all tickets on stubhub are physical tickets that people already have.

I don't see how this is possible if the capacity of the 6th and I Synagouge is 200 and there are already 140 tickets on Stubhub for this show?? hmm....................

Main Sanctuary
Alternate Venue Max Capacity: 900 people
Supported Layouts and Capacities
Seating Capacity
Capacity: 900 People
 

Multi Purpose Room
Alternate Venue Max Capacity: 60 people
Supported Layouts and Capacities
Classroom - 30"

Social hall

Exactly. I did Google and got everything from 200-900.  ::)

And no, the only ones for sure on Stubhub are the ones with the green Instant Ticket Download. That said, it /is/ safe to get tickets from Stubhub even if they don't have the tickets. At worst, you get a full refund. Once my family got new tickets and like $500 in credit for our troubles (just call and bitch a lot). Most times though Stubhub will buy from the available tickets and fulfill your order, and charge the scalpers stupid enough to list tickets they don't have for it.  ;D A quick peek also showed that about 50 people have already *bought* non-existant tickets for this show before the onsale for $90-120, so obviously the demand is going to be crazy...

i saw fiona apple open for coldplay back in 2006.  her performance was pretty terrible.  has she improved much since then? 

what does it say about her that my standards were low enough to see coldplay and she couldn't entertain me?

I thought so...can't find the original thread but someone on here was saying that every ticket on stubhub is available and that's clearly not the case.

whoever said that was wrong.  anyone can list anything on stubhub, no proof is required.  when stubhub sells you a ticket they are going off a promise from the seller that he/she can actually supply the ticket.

tickets on stubhub are guaranteed; if you buy a ticket on there, you will get into the show.

the only time i remember hearing about an issue with this was the 2011 BCS Championship Game when sellers were selling tickets that they didn't have and couldn't get, and Stubhub was offering purchaser's very large amounts of cash to not attend the game.

We met someone at the LCD Show last year who was told at the gate his ticket had already been scanned.  Stubhub upgraded his and his friends' seats.

i think it would be more precise to say that your purchase is guaranteed, but the tickets aren't.  stubhub will get you in with better tickets if the ones you bought don't materialize or they'll refund you.

If anyone really wants to go... someone on Stubhub has them for $90. I'd jump on that real fast before prices skyrocket.

I don't 90 dollars want to go.

After fees, it's probably only $20 more...

Post by: K8teebug on February 24, 2012, 11:14:21 am
Still not worth it to me.  If I hadn't seen her, probably.  But, not really.  I don't like spending over 50 bucks unless it's something really great.

I would still love to find out the exact capacity of this gig. If anyone finds out, lemme know. Curious.

This confuses me... You're willing to spend probably $67 on an artist, but not $23 extra dollars? What if it was only $10 extra?

Alrighty. The internet just has so many different ones listed.  :D Well Brooklyn is only 550, so this is gonna be tough. Eeeek.
Title: Re: Fiona Apple
Post by: K8teebug on February 24, 2012, 11:39:13 am
It was 53 with fees.  Not 67.  And no, I'm not willing to spend 90 or 100 dollars on someone I've already seen.

I feel like artists that had success some time ago and whose main fan base doesn't really attend shows regularly or follow new music (like Fiona Apple's) generally charge more for shows at the same or similarly-sized venues than artists with fans who listen to new music and regularly attend shows.

This has nothing to do with how many albums the artist has released or how "successful" the artist is.

Meaning they have middle aged casual fans who don't mind throwing down some dough for nostalgia.

Post by: Vas Deferens on February 26, 2012, 01:48:13 pm
she only tours every 5 years right?

yep, $50 is about right. It's not like I will remember what I paid for the show 5 years from now...
