Title: Warehouse Next Door
Post by: sonicyouth42 on May 31, 2005, 08:55:00 am

How is this place as a venue?  I really want to see Xiu Xiu there this summer, but since I'm coming from RIchmond, I don't want to make the trip if it's not going to be worth it.  Also, are most of the shows there all ages?

It's a good small venue, but for those of us coming from Richmond, without advance ticketing, there's always the fear of sell-outs before we get there.

So none of the shows have advance ticketing?  Damn, that makes it tough.  I really want to see Xiu Xiu but I don't think I can take that chance.

That place probably holds about 100 max.

I thought, though, that snailhook was talking about some advance tickets being sold through a local record store or something...

bags, the advance ticketing thing isn't going to work. there are many reasons why this is so, and i'm not going to get into it, but let's just say that most of it is due to a certain venue's incompetent owners and their disinterest in growth. we might do advance tickets for the occasional show, but that lies entirely up to the promoter (i've only done advance tickets for the doom metal festival last year, and i probably won't do it again, except for extremely special circumstances).

we can hold more than that. it's more like 120-130, but we've gotten over that for a few shows.
 
 the xiu xiu show will probably sell out. i doubt there will be advance tickets, but i'm not promoting the show, and i don't know if the person who is promoting it will want to do advance tickets (it's a pain in the ass for him, too). the only thing you can really do is get there early, but i understand that coming from richmond is difficult.
