does anyone know if radiohead will play a surprise show in dc??? i know they're playing in bristow..
-
since it would be a surprise, no, we dont know
but i highly doubt it will happen
-
Most likely not going to happen. Kind of hope it doesn't happen. I would hate for they're to be one in DC and already have tickets to nissan.
-
Has anyone gotten their Waste tickets yet from the presale?
-
nope on the waste tickets...they havent even sent out the seat assignments yet
-
seat assignments?
-
rumor has it that WASTE seat assignments will go out around march 7 (end of this week!), and actual tickets will be delivered a month before the show (about second week of april).
-
I'm one of the idiots that forgot the tickets went on sale that morning. I'm a bit annoyed by it, but I figure I'll get my hands on a set of tickets one way or another.

Me too, I was too hungover. Tickets shouldn't go on sale before 2:00 pm on Saturdays.
-
folks who don't have tickets to RH should definitely keep an eye on CL and ebay 2-3 weeks before the show. i think a lot of would-be scalpers will discover that they can't resell their tickets, and it's not as you can really scalp them the day of the show outside the venue. maybe even post a "looking for tickets at cost" message on CL. there will be people panicking as the day draws closer.
-
I have 4 pit tickets and so far only have 1 other person that wants to go. In a few weeks if none of my other friends want in, i'll have 2 for sale on here
-
I'll take those two for sure if you don't need them!
-
My 2 tickets from Live Nation came in this past Thursday so I'm good to go.
-
Is Live Nation / Ticketmaster the same thing? If it is I guess they've started their mailing...
-
How'd everybody do in the WASTE presales today for the 2nd leg? I got pit for Santa Barbara, and reserved for Camden...
-
I sat there from 1am to 9am with ReloadEvery on and kept getting "The ticket store is currently closed." Then sweetcell texted me saying the sale was on and I tried manually refreshing and loading it in IE instead of firefox and still couldn't get the store to open (had no problem on first leg).
It finally popped up an hour later but it was way too late. Got 4 for Montreal, hopefully I can trade for 2 to another, closer venue. :(
-
Got two pit tickets for the Toronto show at about 9:55am
-
got pit for philly show
-
i got 2 pits for philly/camden.
the WASTE website completely choked up 5-10 minutes into the presale. i was trying to help a friend in CA, but after i paid for my tix i was unable to complete a second transaction - website kept timing out. waste remained locked up for a good 2 hours, by the time it opened up again all tix were gone except for montreal (which is a huge GA field, festival-style, btw).

So my plans to sell the Montreal tickets and use that money for Camden tickets is probably a bust? $250 thrown away!

well, not necessarily a bust but not looking stellar either. the show will sell out, eventually, so at a minimum getting your money back should be do-able.
jules, you weren't thinking of scalping, now were you? tsk tsk... :p

I was going to resell them at market value and then use said proceeds to purchase Camden tickets at market value. I don't consider that scalping; I consider it trading tickets with a third party collecting a fee for facilitating such an exchange.
I guess the act of scalping takes place, but neither the intent, nor the result, fulfills scalping as we think of it.

Weird...I use the same theory to explain away my love of prostitutes :roll:

No, no, no.
Look: when we think of scalping, we think of someone making a profit off tickets by selling them above face value. What ticks us off -- morally outrages us -- about scalping exactly? It's not the exchange of money for tickets, otherwise none of us would buy tickets ever because ticketmaster and tickets.com and the 930 Club Box Office would all be "scalpers." What outrages us is the making of profit, correct?
So with what I was planning to do, I wasn't selling tickets with an intent to pull down profit; the end result is me getting tickets to my local show and someone else getting tickets to their local show. It's like a three-way trade in sports where the Wizards send a player to the Sonics who send $$ to the Bulls who send a player back to the Wizards. Yes, a singular act that is part of scalping takes place, but the circumstantial details do not register the moral indignation of scalping.

it makes sense you'd be a hillary supporter.

You responded to a logical argument with ad populum statements without any real substance. It makes sense you'd be a HopeChange supporter.

1) kucinich forever
2) i was just joshin'. going through any of this sort of hassle to see radiohead is much more offensive to me than a kinky three-way ticket exchange.
-
jules, as a potential way of avoiding all this might-be/might-not-be ugliness, why not seek a straight-up trade on a RH message board? don't cost a thing to ask, ya never know if someone can hook you up. ateaseweb and greenplastic are the two that i know of.
-
Kucinich is a fraud and a cranky little fucker. I cannot stand him.
-
appropriately enough, so is thom york.

I probably will, but the odds of some Canadian holding New Jersey pit tickets in hopes of a trade has to be really slim.
-
i need two free tickets.

But you are making a profit. You're just choosing to spend your profit on other Radiohead tickets.
