Is sold out? Wasn't this on soft sale? Do I have a poor memory, or is this level of popularity something new?
-
holy eff, you're right. this has to be a system screw-up, there is no way JM sold-out on soft-sale.
maybe the band's management is hoarding tickets to give away, for the fan club, for a promotional event like an album launch, etc?
-
I don't know... I just looked around on Ticketmaster. It seems this was only the latest in a run of sell outs.
-
huh. i'm stumped. although i've just checked, and this show has been on soft-sale for a month now.
do they have a big hit on commercial radio these days? am i that disconnected?
-
I'm pretty disconnected, as I wouldn't even know what station to listen to if they did have a hit. I'm almost exclusively XM. They were on Conan, or one of the late night shows, recently. That's about all I've got. Maybe they've broken out, and the 9:30 message board is last to know...

Jack's Mannequin (and SoCo) are enormously popular in the AbsolutePunk/Warped Tour scene. Like one of the biggest bands of that scene. I think their new album was #2 on the itunes charts for the week, so despite having no radio play hits, I'm not surprised this sold out.
In the spirit of full-disclosure: an ex of mine was a HUGE JM/SoCo fan and I got dragged to like 6 shows. I have to admit it's catchy; I'm pretty sure I know every track on all three Andrew McMahon albums by heart. :o

There are now tickets available.

Cool - grabbed a couple. Thanks.
Are they plentiful, or should I warn my friends to hurry?
