yay!!!!!!!
oh what a lovely sight to see on my computer this afternoon. the gig has FINALLY been announced. now, since i seem to have been booted from my volume subscription (inexplicably), any news of presale?! and can i get a rollcall...?
-
I'm going.
I don't usually get my email until evening. I'd think a presale would have been announced, as the regular sale would be tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., right?
The real question -- do we need to buy these tix right away?
-
Did anyone else hear FF playing on Rory's stereo yesterday on the Gilmore Girls??

The SF show a month ago sold out about a week before the show, if that helps. It was a smaller venue than the 9:30 Club, but FF weren't experiencing as much airplay at the time either.
-
Think I'll be good getting a ticket Friday, then....thanks, smack-a-licious.
-
i'm getting one tomorrow. i have visions of darkness-esque frenzy for tickets, leaving me to pay an exorbitant fee on a ticket from craigslist...sigh.
-
my colleague is convinced it will sell out and is going to by them online at 10 am. i think i'll just wait until after work tommorow evening.
-
It probably will sell out, but not tomorrow. But like the Groupie, I am going to get my tickets tomorrow at 10.
-
yay i'm psyched. i plan to shake my ass fully and emphatically during the show and even the whole day before. weeeeeeeeeeeeee ;)

So you're paying Ticketmaster fees?!? Not me, though Marni will probably want to...

I will pay tickets.com fees. It will be the first time since the white stripes show, if I remember correctly. It never did sell out....
-
A quick scan of TicketMaster availability for other dates shows that some are sold out - others aren't. (Big help, eh?) But that shows that it will probably sell out eventually. I'd recommend getting tickets sooner rather than later, or you may regret it.
-
I'm getting my tickets at 10am tomorrow. I don't want to miss out on this one.
-
Let the games begin.
Just purchased mine...now I can get some work done.
-
Ummm, well I just purchased 3 tickets. So I guess that is at least 10 tickets sold in the first five minutes.....
-
If it sells out by this evening, I was fated not to see them and I don't have to rush back from Jersey...
-
bags, same here. . gonna get them tonight.
saw the video for "take me out" on mtv this morning. . .it joins "float on" by modest mouse on mtv's "buzzworthy" vidoes.
-
Just bought six... didn't want to take the chance cause my friends would kill me. Still, I'm betting they won't sell out for a couple of days
-
my coworker just bought 6 on line as well...

It's always iffy on shows like this that are recipients of a lot of publicity. This reminds me of when the Shins came to town and a lot of people were first surprised they were doing two shows...then were surprised that both shows sold out.
-
i bought mine at approximately 10:02 a.m. :D
-
Well, looks like FF may have gained a bit of street cred...
From XFM Online (http://www.xfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=24886):
Fight Music - Franz And D12 Fight It Out
Tempers flair at a recording of the German version of Top Of The Pops as Franz Ferdinand clash with D12's "wrestler" bouncers before ending up "enveloped by flab" upon impact.
Franz singer Alex Kapranos explain has explained how the fracas ensued following a recording of their single 'Matinee' at the studios where the two bands were filming the German version of TOTP.
"I walked past a chink in the curtain and Eminem was doing his rehearsal," Kapranos told MTV. "This bouncer went. 'Hey you, keep walking', or something like that. Because of the attitude he had, I said, 'Say's who?' And this 28-stone guy is like, 'Says me'. Then it was such a like comedy moment.
"He came lumbering toward me like those old kind of wrestlers and we kind of collided and I thought I was going to go flying, but I just ended up being enveloped by all this flab. And then we just parted gently.
"Next thing, everybody round me just went nuts and I think Glen [Franz tour manager] knocked his hat off and Nick [McCarthy, guitarist] punched him in the face and then all these like security guys came and pulled him away. It was like school or something."
In other Franz news, the band told Xfm in a recent interview that they thought that the next release from their world-beating debut album may be fan-favourite 'Michael' and revealed that there would be a live DVD coming out soon. For the full interview click here (http://www.xfm.co.uk/article.asp?id=24499).
Next week: Keane and 50 Cent duke it out in Austria.

Got tickets at the box office -- oh the money I saved!
Asked about best guesses on when the show will sell out, and the box office guess (note, folks, it's a GUESS) is about four days.
-
got my tix this evening as well - looking forward to it
-
oh dear, oh dear. just saw franz ferdinand are in the "buzzworthy" section at mtv.com. the teens shall be out in force at this one!
-
Yeah, I'm not too psyched at the prospect of this sold out show. And yet, I won't miss them due to the 'buzz.'
-
I stopped by the box office last night before Q and Not U to buy some tickets. The lady in the box office said Franz Ferdinad is about half way to a sell out. She expects it to sell out in three more days (as of last night). Just FYI...

Perusing Mtv.com were we... one of the deadly sins...one below watching it on mtv however.

yes, yes i know. shame on me. inexcusable, really.
-
Can I just say that I feel like a total tool that I sat there clicking away and paying $30 in tickets.com fees to get my six tix when I could have strolled over to the club any time during the last two weeks since they *still* have not sold out. :)
I will *never* be able to predict this sh*t!
-
a little birdie tells me it's almost sold out....
-
yeah...people said that like forever ago. I'm worried that it's not going to sell out at all and I won't be able to get rid of my tickets if I can't go.
-
I'm not worried. I bought six tickets on spec -- I'm sure I'll be able to give them to happy folks who want to see the show...
-
So I finally looked up Sons and Daughters (opening band) because the name sounded so familiar. They are also signed to Domino, and you can find the official site here (http://www.sonsanddaughtersloveyou.com/).
-
wasnt sons and daughters a bad soap opera from the 80s?

OMG! My mother used to watch that show religiously! I had totally forgotten about that. It was on everyday at 3.30 in the afternoon I think. LOL
-
FYI - On the FAQ board eddie says this is probably going to sell out very soon. If you haven't bought tickets yet, you may want to do that ASAP.
-
I've got mine... no thanks to my work not sending me to our convention...
-
I really hope it sells out soon, I went ahead and bought 4 even though I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use any, figuring that if it sold out I could get rid of them at the door.

man i got get a hold of some 9:30 pit tickets :roll: what a putz
-
I must have gotten one of the very last tickets, I bought mine yesterday. I heard a few songs and figure it will be worth checking out. If it sucks, it's not like I spent a ton of money anyway.

anyone have ideas about the !!!/FF conflict? I have tix for both, wanna see both... bah! why the same night?

I chose FF just because I prefer the soundsystem at the 9.30 club. Would definitely have gone to !!! too if it wasn't the same night though :/
-
If !!! doesn't add an opener, you can hit both shows. But I have a feeling some openers will be listed at the Black Cat show... Bummer, eh?

Go to the Ottobar in Baltimore the night before for !!!. That is my plan so that I can catch both bands.
