Always check Just Announced before asking such questions:
 
 "Belle and Sebastian and the New Pornographers, March 5 & 6, 9:30. According to the B&S email list."
 
 And chimbley says she's going to kick your ass for these tickets.  And I'd believe her - I've seen her do it!

GOD DAMNIT SUNDAY AND MONDAY...
 
 I have never seen B & S live...
 
 They are one of my favorite bands...
 
 All I can say is, if there is a day off Monday or Tuesday; I'll be kicking all of your asses for the tickets.

yes, it's true.  and i'm armed with a chain bikelock.  beware.  nothing will stand between me and the blissful twee stylings of Belle and Sebastian or the shiny pop goodness of the New Pornographers.
 
 that said, i'm really out of the loop right now.  (i've not been about the forum in a while).  if people have the info about a presale, there's beer in it for you.  and maybe a get out of jail free card.

Thanks for the info.
 
 $35 does not seem unreasonable. It was less than I was expecting.

Sunday the 5th is Oscar night. I guess the women and gays will have to go to the Monday show.

With Jon Stewart hosting, even I might stay home to watch it....

Mr. Stewart, 43, was appropriately humbled by the invitation. "As an avid watcher of the Oscars," he said in a statement, "I can't help but be a little disappointed with the choice."

mildly funny, but please don't stereotype.  especially around me--unless you want to hear an earful.

Just ripping off Chris Rock on that one.
 
 You have a problem with that comment, talk to Chris.

it's fine...i totally get you were joking and yadda yadda, and it's fine...
 
 i just feel that regardless, if people eliminate stereotyping when they are telling harmless jokes; it can eventually eliminate it or lessen it with all those white-straight-christian male supremacists...

then tell them in the privacy of your home, for one or two friends, and let that be that.
 
 but don't participate in ultra-public affairs of doing so...
 
 
 (if you thought that i was going to stop telling Helen Keller jokes; you would be crazy...)

If this board qualifies for ultra-public affairs, we have many more lurkers then  I thought.

So what's the official word on this one?
 
 When do tickets go on sale to the general public?
 
 Anyone guess how quickly they will sell out? Are we talking a Pogues-like sale here?
Title: Re: Belle and Sebastian Pre Sale?
Post by: bearman🐻 on January 11, 2006, 02:33:00 pm
Tix on sale tomorrow, 10am to everyone, no presale. Yes, these will go fairly quickly. I think if it was just Belle and Sebastian it would take a while, but having New Pornos on the bill will guarantee a fast sell-out. How fast? Who knows. I wouldn't say Interpol fast, but the Pogues sure went like hot cakes, so it's tough to say. I definitely wouldn't wait to buy tickets though.

I wonder if I will be safe in waiting until the box office opens at 12? I wonder why it's rigged up so that tickets.com gets to sell the tickets before they go on sale at the box office?
