playing in norfolk the same night as slint in dc.
i suppose there's no decision to be made here, but i'm still annoyed.
-
Where'd you see that? Nothing listed in ther site
-
if there is a norfolk date, there must be a dc date posted soon.

i hope? but they just played dc in november. i think they played philly in november too, but they're still playing there again in feb. i hope it's not somewhere else if there is a dc date. i don't think i'd go see them at dar.

Has anyone else been troubled over the past year or so that Phillie seems to be eclipsing DC for shows? it's kinda buggin' me -- is it just about being only half as far from NYC?

How so?

I totally agree. Philly gets every single show, big or small. D.C. gets a good chunk of shows but still gets bypassed too much for my liking for Philly and Richmond.

Are there specific shows you're referring to? Also, Philly has a lot of venues of various sizes. When you think about DC, without including Baltimore, it doesn't compare...and it shouldn't since Philly is a larger city. When bands look at DC, it's usually the 9:30, Black Cat, Velvet Lounge or Iota if it's not a big arena show. While Philly has the Khyber, Electric Factory, World Cafe Live, North Star Bar and many others.

jesus. i don't know what you're talking about. i live in richmond and NOTHING i want to see ever comes here. i've been to 4 or 5 local shows total (one of them a comedy show and 2 of them had 20-30 people show up).
maybe dc gets passed up, but richmond gets passed up way more considering there are places to play in chapel hill, norfolk and dc. why stop in richmond? especially after places like the flood zone closed.
-
For instance, Philly's getting multiple U2 dates during both legs -- DC only gets two dates during the Fall leg. Interpol -- they played Philly last fall as well, but may be passing DC. There have been others of note -- can't think of them off the top of my head, but I know I've thought again and again, "why Philly and no DC?"
Richmond is another matter -- Philly and DC are very similarly sized, major east coast cities. I don't think Richmond is quite the same.
Maybe it's the venue issue. Odd, still.

Richmond used to do ok....I lived there in late 80's early 90's. Flood Zone, Rockets/Metro, Jade Elephant, Twisters....but seems like now It's just Alley Katz. I've never been to that place, but have not heard good things about it. Christ, even Twisters closed, and it was starting to seem to me like that place would never go out of business.
Oh well, at least you can still go drown you sorrows in a pitcher over at the Village!
-
I don't get it. Interpol was one of my least fave shows in 2004. I'd say don't sweat it. But that's me.
-
INTERPOL!
2 nights at the 930 club
march 25/26.
i'm gonna be going to 6 shows this week! crazy.
qotsa @ 930, slint @ philly, slint @ 930, interpol @ 930, interpol @ 930, qots @ norfolk

it used to, but that's before i was really goign to shows a lot. i HATE alley katz. i've been there once and it was a terrible experience. it's almost as bad as the ritz (now called disco rodeo) in raleigh nc. the flood zone has been gone for nearly 10 years now. twisters still exists. it closed down for a bit and someone else bought it and it was called 929 cafe (i went to one show thre) and then that closed and now it's open again as nanci raygun. doesn't get anything really big (well, for its size), but it still has shows every week.
the village is horrible, horrible food. you'd be much better off getting some vegan chinese food at the newly-reopened panda garden across the street!

the nanci raygun occasionally has some really good shows, i saw the walkmen there fall 2003, unfortunately richmond crowds just suck. a lot.
i've seen a few shows at alley katz, it's not great but it's decent. that's my opinion at least. the sound isn't so great, but maybe that's cos i'm always standing up front.

the only show i've been to at that site (regardless of the name) was american analog set and her space holiday. i was bored out of my mind. i was only there because i was recording it for a friend. there's just nothing really that comes to richmond that i want to see, so i haven't yet really had the chance to see how much richmond crowds suck. and i don't forsee myself having the opporunity to find out anytime soon.

actually that was a misprint
it was supposed to say "veterinarian" promoter after a discussion of some of the dog shows we had
-
saw the new video for interpol ("evil"), and i was kind of surprised ... i figured this song had a shot to break them into the mainstream, very catchy, almost "float on"-esque ... the video, however, was really disturbing, a puppet-like character singing in front of this horrific car accident while paramedics work in the background ... i don't think that's getting any play on MTV1 any time soon =)
by the way, subterranean was really good this week:
interpol "evil"
bloc party "banquet"
the kills "the good ones"
animal collective "who could win a rabbit" (don't like the album, love the song)
ted leo "me and mia"
death from above 1979 "romantic rights"

Does anyone know anything about the pre-sale? Interpol's website says it's on 2/4, but I'm on the mailing list and haven't heard any details yet.

from their site:
The full set of US dates for March have now been announced. Tickets for these shows will go on sale on February 5 with a presale starting at 10am local time on February 4. There are a limited number of presale tickets available and you must be registered to purchase them.
register here: http://interpolny.musictoday.com/Interpol/calendar.aspx (http://interpolny.musictoday.com/Interpol/calendar.aspx)
-
is the presale information going to be in the weekly email from the 930 club or is it being sent from interpol's website?
-
9:30 Email Blast is a good bet.
-
I disagree...sounds like an Interpol pre-sale to me, so you'd have to get the password from the band's website/email.
-
could someone, once ascertained, please pm with the password?
-
For Interpol in the past (with the exception of the one Bowery Ballroom show), all you had to do is sign up with Musictoday. Not super exclusive.
-
Check y'all's email...930 is the bomb!
-
thanks for the notice of the presale. Back to the state of the union
-
.
-
Not surprisingly, I'm wrong..... 9:30 club emailed the password.
But. my question -- do you think I'll really have to buy a ticket for the Friday show during the presale? I think I'm risking a trip to the box office tomorrow night. If I miss out, no stress. Seen 'em twice last year...
-
Originally posted by Bags:

Don't go tomorrow night, the pre-sale is only for Friday, Feb. 4, 10am - 10pm.
-
duh...thanks. Luckily I'm not too concerned about this one...
-
I did not get my weekly email. Can someone forward it to me?
-
Are Q and Not U opening the DC Interpol shows?
I live in Richmond now. There aren't many good shows. Everyone drinks a lot. The Village is rad.

What's that Seth?? Some promise keeepers bible reference. ;)
On a serious note. I notice "presales" are becoming popular with everyone. Can someone please enlighten me on why they have them? Why not just make the tickets available earlier to everyone instead of going through the bullshit of passwords and secret handshakes and all that crap? U2 cashed in on them by charging â?¬40 just to register for the priveledge of getting in the presale....so they don't count because Bono and his boys are just money grabbing wankers at this point. How much money does someone need for crying out loud!!! GGW doesn't need to answer that.

Wish I could but I'll be out of town. Next show I'll be at is The Music. Feel free to say hi and call me a dumbass then.
And no, I've never met anyone from the board though I've been coming to the club about once a week for a few years now. Guess I just blend into the crowd... :)

Oh, I found the price. If you go to Interpol's ticketing site, and click "more info" it tells you the show is $25.
-
Can someone PM me the password? Pretty pretty please?
-
i never got my password either :( can some post it or pm it to me? you would be my hero.
-
clarkbar and largesark... no one is giving it up here. i tried already. no one in the office will even resend the email. i suggest going through interpol's site as they have accounts via musictoday that will open up tomorrow at noon (the new time of the presale). that is how i will get mine. good luck! :)

Anyone else having a problem with the tickets link in the e-mail?

Anyone notice that the Interpol presale link on the main 9:30 page takes you to a QOTSA presale?

looks to be working now...

Damn, I want the QOTSA presale too. GIMME GIMME GIMME
-
Can someone post the link? Mine isn't working.
-
The link in my e-mail from the club isn't working. Why?
-
the link works, but there's no tickets to buy. no show listed.

It was dated February 9th. So look for it next week.

but once i get in..nothing. something's amiss
-
what a let down, no events listed. and i was so excited... dang. i'll keep trying.
-
read folks...it's at noon now, not 10
-
i can't get in either...
-
doesn't work for me either. presales are such a pain in the ass like this...
-
wtf? this frickin' link keeps saying 404 Error!!!!!!!!!!!
-
wtf? 404 Not Found?? this blows.
-
so wait the 9:30 Interpol presale is at noon now?
-
I got into the selection page, but it only offers Saturday and I'm getting the "Tickets are not available together in the quantity you requested in this section at this time" message.
-
I think it's all getting online very slowly...
-
I'm getting the same thing. Either tix are sold out or they raelly aren't on sale yet. Is the sale at noon?
-
what the crap? are all the tix gone already?
-
Check back now, just completed my order for Friday's show
-
Friday has disappeared now, it seems.
-
I'm feeling really screwed. Just like with U2 tickets.
-

well it let me put in the # code in the image, then kicked me back out to selecting tickets again.
-
And now they're both gone? This was a pretty weak presale if that's it.
-
oh boy, i hope this is another one of those presale threads that goes on and on with people saying the same thing
-
and again i get a page with nothing
-
i got 2 for sat...but something still seems wrong. saturday was the only choice when it worked. at times friday was up...just weird.
-
damnit. my email link didn't work and i don't know who to blame.
-
I have a feeling something wasn't set up right on the website. All the dates are gone now from the ordering screen.
-
I managed to get 2 tickets for Saturday night. I'm hoping that I can score 2 more for Friday night at the noon presale. Lily, did you manage to get anything? Just tried calling you.
-
this sucks. how were they sold out within 1 minute of coming online?
-
not sure how, but I have two tickets for friday, have a printed receipt...strange stuff happening.
There is a presale later today as well I believe.
-
1st-5th tries - no shows available
5th-umpteenth tries - "Tickets are not available in the quantity you want, yada yada"
umpteenth-umpteenth+x tries - no shows available
I had better luck with the U2 presale, and that's saying a lot.
-
I got 4 for Friday, but then they all disappeared. I think someone is confused on when they are really supposed to go on sale...
-
i got 2 for saturday, but i need 2 for friday too.
-
Somehow I ended up with three tickets for Michael Bolton at the Palomar Starlight Theatre.
-
Just called the club -- apparently the link was "effed" up, and then once it did go up, it was sold out within seconds. In other words, there were only very few presale tickets. Thanks a lot, 9:30 ... some freakin' presale.
-
Best of luck to those trying, is it ever possible to have one smooth ticket sale
-
Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:

i'll trade you my yanni tickets for those.
-
keep refreshing for a while, more may pop up. that's what i did and i got tickets for both shows.
-
We got 2 tickets...but then the site died while loading the page where you enter the payment info. Not the ideal ticket buying experience...
-
for those of us that missed the presale, when do tickets go on sale? tomorrow?
-
I've now experienced just about every single problem that this thread has listed. Worst presale ever. Going to try again at noon and see if things improve.
-
Anyone know when the real tickets go on sale? Or are they planning on playing an intimate show with 11 people in the audience?
-
Man, the club really needs to get it's shit together with online ticket presales...what a disaster. The 930 Club is my absolute favorite place to see a show, but these presales just plain suck.
-
The website says the presale is over. When does the regular sale start? Anyone?
-
the website is apparently telling different people different things. it still shows tickets available for saturday--you just can't seem to book them.
-
Well Interpol's News section on their website says the presale will now start at noon local time. But the 9:30 site says the presale sold out?! Let's keep our fingers crossed that the Interpol site releases more at noon. :(
-
oh well... when is the regular sale?
-
Pretty ridiculous ... to have a 12-hour presale, yet so few tickets that they're snatched up in seconds.
Yeah, does anyone know about when tickets go on sale to the public? The lady on the phone said 10 tomorrow, but Interpol's site says noon ... is this another presale situation, and if so, where do we go and what password do we use this time?
When are QOTSA tickets going on sale ... anyone know?
-

hmmmmm.....

I wonder if it is the same password for their presale as well? If anyone knows, could you PM me? Thanks!

I saw Interpol open for Mogwai in 1999 at Bowery Ballroom. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
-
Is the presale on the Interpol site the same password?
-
JUST MOVED TO DC. THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE 930 AND PRESALES. THIS PRESALE IS LAMEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.

i suppose that would mean the general onsale is at 10 tomorrow.
interpol is having a presale through their site at noon.
it's two totally different things. i'd wager that the 930 club presale password is not the same as the password needed if you do the noon presale.
-
one would think the beastie boys or wilco show went on sale today with all this moaning.
-
If the sale had gone smoothly, maybe we wouldn't have to moan about it.
-

if it had been either of those, i would still be asleep right now.
-
i just noticed this:
Interpol
9:30 Club
Washington, DC
USA
Saturday , 3/26/05 , 7:00PM
that's pretty early for a saturday show... i assume there's going to be some sort of late show that night at the club then maybe?
friday night's says 9pm
-
the 9:30 capacity is about 1000 and there are two presales for these shows. do the math about how many tickets are probably available for either show. 50? 100? Presale to many tickets then people are moaning about not getting regular sale tickets. Scalpers are also unfortunately likely to be buying heavy in presales to, so you can't release that many tickets. 12 people buying 4 tickets each and the presale is soldout.
-
When/where is this supposed second presale and is it confirmed (i.e. should I be wasting time hitting F5 at work at noon today?)
-
will it be any easier when tix actually go on sale to get them online or is it better to go to the box office?
-

i really have no complaints about the way things are right now. i had so many issues before trying to get tickets for some shows before you could buy 930 club tickets online. i live 2 hours away, so i can't easily go to an outlet/the box office for an onsale and trying to get tickets via the phone can be as bad as F5ing.
-
I'm not moaning so much about not getting tickets as I am about how screwed up the pre-sale was. At 10:05am, I didn't see either of the shows listed after I'd entered in the passcode. It wasn't until nearly 10:10am that I saw the Saturday show listed and 10:12am until the Friday show was listed.
-
I hate to disagree but I and several friends had no problems buying erasure tickets on presale several days ago and that was for one show. Interpol is 2 shows! This was absolutely ridiculous that we couldn't get even 1 ticket a few minutes after 10!!!! And please, Wilco? not even if it was free...
-
It's the presale clusterfuck mentality. Same thing with the Pixies. Folks here get so wound up (which I understand, as we're big music fans), but it's just a rush to get the presale tickets. So, two of us got Pixies tickets -- which we ended up not even being able to sell.
I don't think two Interpol shows are selling out in a day. I wouldn't stress.
-
just my $.02 that no one will care about, but I think the moaning isn't about not getting the tickets, it's about the tech problems. The link in the email didn't work. Luckily, some found the link on the 930 front page. Then a show was there, not there, there again, etc.
Moving on from the presale, will the box office be open for sales tomorrow moring when the general on sale happens?
-
the erasure pw was less widely available as it was in the snail mail newsletter which one would guess is less widely distributed than the email.
stick around popular presales like Wilco, Interpol, The Darkness go quickly and it gives us forum regulars a little entertainment when they do.
-
So, you not only make fun of our taste in music, but then call it "entertainment" that we're disappointed that, you know, the link didn't even work this morning. Think that's funny? I think you're pretty rude.

There are ALWAYS ways to get into concerts, sometimes it's as simple as just being nice to the roadies who are hanging out before a show and politely telling them that you can't get in and are willing to pay for a ticket, but as luck would have it you couldn't get one before the show sold out. A smile and good manners often go a LONG way.
I remember when Smashing Pumpkins played with Swervedriver back when the 9:30 was WUST and I must have had 8 friends that wanted to get in but didn't have tickets. Somehow they managed to find extras on the street. Then there was the yuppie guy who thought he was cool that paid $120 to get in, who got his glasses smashed by over-enthusiastic moshers. That's entertainment!

It's not making fun of your taste in music. I like them; have I mentioned I saw them in 1999? I think it's the fact that new people come out of the wood work and sound all baffled. It is pretty funny.

Did I ever tell you about the girl with blue hair in London who gave me free Pixies tickets back in '87?
-
well at least the vitual waiting room didn't show up this time... sorry to be callous but having witnessed the stream of complaints every time a presale or general goes quickly it become entertaining. yes there appears to be a technical error this morning. presales are difficult to setup and it's possible something got overlooked.
personally this just proves that presales have outlived there usefulness, people expect they'll automatically get tickets and get all crotchity when they don't. the fact there are two shows for interpol should give you a sense of their popularity. tickets were going to be gone quickly, there are at least 500 other rabid interpol fans wanting to get a pair of tickets to the show.

I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.
I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.

You don't know what you really want.

my $.02?
i didn't get any tickets, and that's ok. i'll get some on general sale.
BUT
all you nasty little "junior members" with your two posts complaining about not getting tickets at PRESALE that you somehow feel entitled to? Come on. The presale is a favor that 930 does to reward regulars and serious fans. Oh, you didn't get tickets?? Boo hoo, let's just throw the baby out with the bathwater. Let's complain until the club says "you know what? it's not worth it." then nobody will have a chance.
bottom line?
shut up, whiners.

I actually think that's a good idea. Presales do nothing. I got tickets for Friday, but not Saturday, am I upset, no. Why? Because there is another one starting in 40mins, and the general on sale is tomorrow. I do think it is a legit gripe about the tech problems, more specifically about the link in the email. Or maybe presales should just be box office, in person only. Imagine what they did before the internet!??!?! I recall the days of arriving at the box office at 3 pm the day before tickets went on sale and sleeping in line. Ah, the good old days.
-
I never said I was "entitled" to anything, Chimbley. I think the frustration comes from technical glitches. I know I'll get tickets in the general sale, so I'm not worried about it. So, take your attitude and shove it up your arse. AND, just because I'm a junior member doesn't mean anything. I've been making the two hour trek up from Richmond for about 13 years now.

When does the general sale happen?

Hey, like you didn't see that coming from a mile away? I have a role to fill here, man, and I'm not about to start letting people down! ;)

well i think most of the big arena shows still sell on the weekend, and i believe camping out for tickets is an option. although most ticket outlets discourage it.

shame i had to fixed that pesky registration problem last night...
i wont apologize for being cynical and a bit callous, it's part of who i am. to all those new forum members here's a invitation to stick around. you'll have to get use to the behavior of the forum regulars as we're all a bit inbred. we are always looking for new gladitors will to take on the rest of lions. there have been special perks passed on to forum members in the past and rumoured to be more. perks including a special pixies presale, free tickets and drinks at the curiosa concert, and getting to watch a certain unamed forum member drink his way through the backbar at a private party.
full disclosure other than occasionally djing at the 9:30 and fixing the forum when it breaks, i'm not an employee of the club.

So forum membership is the only reliable indicator of how long we've been "serious fans"? That's a pretty weak assumption.
-
Chimbley, it's not my fault that Richmond sucks for live music. We barely get anything. And, the ABC board runs a pretty tight boat due to some really backward early 20th century laws. Fortunately, there are two new major clubs opening up, so maybe that'll bring the "big names" to town. Then, I can stop polluting the air in your shithole of a town.

note to self, start editing posts for fun again...

FWIW....the Interpol presale at noon went rather smoothly. Didn't need a password either - you just had to register with their site and then logon. And only a $8 s/c for two tickets. I'm going to *guess* that tickets.com would be more expensive....
Regardless, there are two shows and it shouldn't be hard to get tix one way or another.
-
HOW did you get in?
-
Hint...orders get cancelled. Don't give up. I tried to get some extras for friends that were trying, and there is a 5min required wait between orders. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
-
Look, there are a couple baseline understandings to keep in mind here. Presales can be a bitch. Passwords get passed around, increasing the "cluster" aspect of the presale clusterf***. So, when regulars on this board see members -- not just "junior," but members with only one or two posts -- you can't blame us for assuming that person became a member *only* to get information on that particular presale they're seeking the password for. It's not a caste system, but a merit system, to some extent. And it makes sense. If someone's coming here just to get one password, you can assume that's also a person who's going to email it out to 50 of his Interpol-loving friends. And it's understandable that he/she would do so -- he/she doesn't have a sense of loyalty to club regulars or the club. Whom the presale is intended to 'reward.'
My one worry is that we don't screw it up by complaining over every presale.
Though, I'll admit I'm also of the mind that they've lost their usefullness.

Link - what link? Just go to the Register here button, register, and scroll down to pick the show you want. But it seems both are sold out. I want to cry. I watched as my basket went from 3 to 1 to 0 and now there are no more. Sob. :(

I've become so disappointed with Interpol's "Antics" (being an excellent their previous album) that I didn't even bother to try to get a ticket for this show.

This is the 9:30 club forum, not the Interpol forum. Notice that the Interpol website had their OWN presale? I can assure you that there will be hundreds of other "serious" fans getting tickets during the general sale or Interpol presale.

The presale 2/4 link. It won't open for me either. Just a blank window that says about:blank

Every playground has it bullies. Internet message boards have more than usual because they get to hide-out behind fake names and identities, and say things they'd never say to someone's face.
Musicians and artists get used to - and prepared for - being attacked for their "art" (I know because I'm one). It's sad that - on this board - it's the fans who are attacked for who they listen to; where they live; how old they are; or how long they've been members here. Some friendly advice: Either leave the playground - or toughen up and give it right back.
Eventually the worst bullies get "outted", so you can spill drinks on them at the next concert. :p
-
hey who allowed you in the sandbox :p
-
i'm a new member, but only because i've never seen a show here (im from NYC) - doesn't mean i'm not a huge interpol fan and it doesn't mean i was any less excited about getting tickets that any of you were
so rock on

well i might only be a junior member and felt the need to complain (but didnt) as it was just frustrating not having the correct addresses and what not, but i just got my tix through the interpol site itself. of course, this wasnt as easy as erasure, but i guess with passwords only being given through the erasure site and via snail mail, it was a bit easier. anyway ill just shut up now and go back to lurking and being a "junior member". i suppose there are worse things in life as i still manage to see everyone i want to in concert!

Since I am finding nada about this on either the 9:30 site or tickets.com... does anyone know WHEN the general onsale will be? Since I was about 3 minutes too late for the presale today, I'd like to know exactly what time I need to start hitting refresh on my browser tomorrow...

Trust me Suki- Chimbly would say everything said here directly to your face. ;) - Back in the country 5 days and already causing a ruckus! Awesome.
Sidebar- Although I am a "junior member" I have found that being nice has gotten me tickets to every show I want to go to - and it also helps to return that favor to others (you new members might want to look at last week's discussion of Bright Eyes and Arcade Fire tickets to see how it works).

-
I got them from the interpol website, yay!
The annoying part is not that the tickets sold out so quickly. Ok, demand is high. It's that the web thing was basically broken from the get-go. Unexpected behaviors with shows disappearing, tickets being reported as unavailable, yada yada. I mean, at the very least I'd expect you'd check out that your own presale link that you emailed to thousands of people was correct. Here's hoping they can improve their technology next time.
Post #4 for those who like to count and then prick-wave ;)

The full set of US dates for March have now been announced. Tickets for these shows will go on sale on February 5 with a presale starting at 10am local time on February 4.

that would be great show, just watching the audience would be worth it alone.

No, but now indie kids are competing with the Abercrombie crowd for tickets. Always makes for exciting times.

I was willing to take credit for the girls flashing the band from the balcony, but I guess I have to include the guys too:
"It was a different sound that dominated, and it's growing," says Matt Smith, music director of Los Angeles' KROQ radio station. "We played Interpol's first album when they were at a small theater and all the kids had on black eye makeup. Now they play and it's 2,600 guys with backward Abercrombie hats and girls in the balcony flashing the band."
And I'm sure "Evil" on in the background everytime the chicks were on the verge of making out on last week's episode didn't hurt ticket sales.
-
we are the indie kids, we are the indie kids... just doesn't have the same ring to it.
-
So all the indie kids and abercrombie kids like this band now. So what.... Isn't success what every band strives for? Shouldn't the band enjoy the fruits of their labor?
-
Very few of us on this board are "kids." Hell, many of us are over 30 (gasp).
-
Eesh. Add Chemical Romance or not, interesting crowd it should be. Especially considering last year's was a sleeper!

Ugh, I gave up early and bought a ticket for the Electric Factory show in Philly. I had to do the same thing for Belle & Sebastian.

Ok, here is the info that we have, the 9:30 Club Interpol dates 3/25 and 3/26 will go on sale at 10AM, tomorrow, Saturday 2/5/05 through tickets.com online only. Hope that helps.

Tickets will be available only to women who participate in a wet t-shirt contest, and will be distributed in the order of best to worst performance. Men seeking tickets must beg the women for them, or can get one of a limited number of tickets for beating markie at either a game of pool or a two-player pac man game.

WOW! Sorry for using the forum. I was excited to be in on the presale and pretty frustrated by it, so i thought i would vent, but now that i understand that the caste system does not encourage new members, such as those moving from out of town- i will stay in the shadows. Very cool! I feel so welcome!

Actually if you are you have a lot of 'splanin to do.

Oh, nobody has a problem with new people on the board. But when presales come along 2 things happen.
1) New people sign up on the board and start yelling "GIMME THE PASSWORD I'M THE WORLDS BIGGEST FAN AND I NEED TICKETS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!".
2) Not everyone gets tickets, and it's usually those same new people who start complaining that the presale sucked, there weren't enough tickets, 9:30 sucks, the board sucks, real fans like me deserve better, it's not fair, blah blah blah. Pretty lame reactions, considering 90% of the tickets haven't even gone on sale yet.
The regulars here see this every week and it's usually either very amusing or very tiresome. It depends on our mood. Today it was quite amusing. :)

I make no positive or negative statements one way or another. Somebody asked why there was all the fuss and it is in fact because Interpol have a larger following then last time. And I don't think that's a bad thing.
But that is why it's much more difficult to get tickets this time around. That's all I was saying. Don't read into it.
-
Nice summary and to repeat my earlier post, newbies are more than welcome here. New blood keeps the forum lively. It used to be that regulars could pick apart people who dropped cups from the balcony or got caught under aged drinking, now all we got is the fallout over presales. Consider the hazing over and maybe someday you'll be taking potshots at newbies complaining about presales and passwords too.

No, no -- not the point, to me at least. My issue is for new folks coming on trying to get the 9:30 club password -- I won't give a junior member the password, but we all come to the forum for some reason -- usually a particular show we want to find out about. Stick around, talk about music, how bad ticketmaster is, whether genre names really mean anything...and we'll all be sharing passwords someday soon!

I am glad Bags.
But I can't keep typing like that to make the newbies feel at home. It gives me a headache.

Meh, it wasn't really people yelling about the password and stuff like that, it was just that the presale was flat-out broken, down to the email that the 9:30 club itself sent out. I've been in several presales and regular online sales for 9:30 Club shows (including the last time interpol came to town in November) and never had it go as poorly. I think it's worth bitching about, but if you don't, that's cool too. We can agree to disagree :)

I was about to post the same thing. A lot of hoopla about nothing.

Thanks, Spoonman,for the heads up. Plenty of tickets on there and I was so wound up yesterday! Wound up like a wind-up toy... an wind-up toy that is pretty psyched to see Interpol.
I wonder if part of the reason that everyone was so into the presale/Interpol in general is that they had a song from antics on as background music in three scenes in the OC two weeks ago. And yeah, I watch that show and so do you, so don't let's make fun eachother.

indie kids, oc fans, and other assorted malcontents, there are still plenty of tickets available for both nights so tell all of your darling friends

I agree with this completely. It wasn't so much the competition, which I'm fine with -- if I get tickets, great, if not I can usually get tickets I want through other channels. But the presale was just a mess; it actually seemed like someone was filling in the information on the shows as the presale started. I have this picture of someone rolling out of bed late, getting on their computer at home, and filling out the presale info in their pajamas.
I love the 9:30 Club; it's a great venue and from what I can see, very well managed.The state of the presale was just a bit of an unpleasant surprise.

Got my tickets this morning, needless to say I'm happy.

Can I buy Interpol tickets tonight at the boxoffice at the 9:30 Club?

What was the point of getting presale? Am I entitled to anything that regular sale buyers don't get?
I mean I'm happy I'm going either way, but I'm just curious.

After reading most of these posts on pre-sale day, apparently the main thing that pre-sales have brought to the fans is a sense of entitlement.

Okay here's the situation:
I was going to stay with my friend at college in Loyola Maryland for the weekend and take a train down to DC for the show, then back to Loyola afterwards. But we just realized that he has Easter Break on that weekend (scheduling error). So now we don't have anywhere to stay that night.
So, I'm asking if anyone here has any suggestions about what to do. We don't want to spend a fortune for a hotel for one night, but we could drive down from NYC (where we live) that day and spend the night in DC after the show - does anyone have any other suggestions or know of any cheap secure hotels in the area?
Thanks everyone for your help .. if you want to IM me my AIM screenname is hybridview01. Hopefully we can figure something out .. I NEED to see Interpol!

There's a hostel in DC that's like $20 a night.

perhaps if/when tickets sell out it will be revived for another 8 pages worth of complaints about the ticketing system.

looks like tickets for both nights are sold out now.

Hmmmmmmmmm, I've been wondering that since this presale bollocks was introduced. If you're a U2 sucker, I mean fan, you get to pay an extra â?¬40 for the privelage of getting in on the presale.

Sonar's History & Concept
Sonar began as an idea in Lonnie Fisher's mind in 2000, and was founded in 2001 with partner DJ Lovegrove. The first location was a small lounge in the Canton area of Baltimore. Within a year, Lonnie decided it was time to move on to a more ambitious and larger venue, and Sonar moved to its current downtown location. This building had been in Lonnie's sights since 1998, and in fact, there was an article in the local paper that year with his picture, sitting in the middle of the warehouse, talking about how he was going to turn this building into Baltimore's best night club.
Finally, on October 30, 2002, that became a reality when the new location opened its doors. Sonar existed for two years as a two room, 600 person capacity night club, but with a massive attached garage in which special events would be held from time to time. In March of 2004, now with Lonnie as the sole owner, Sonar acquired the entire building, enclosed the garage and began creating what is intended to become Baltimore's premier music venue. Already, the space has played host to internationally famous DJs, hip hop artists such as Mos Def, Talib Kweli, KRS One and Doug E Fresh, and will soon host a full schedule of all manner of musical genres.
We make no secret about our mission to change Baltimore for the better. Our policies are designed to provide a meeting place for all of Baltimore's diverse people, and we insist and enforce a policy of tolerance at all times. There is no black night, there is no gay night, there is no straight night, no white night, no Hispanic night... if you like the music that is going on, then EVERY NIGHT IS YOUR NIGHT, and that is how we intend to keep it.
As for the name, Sonar fits perfectly for what we are trying to accomplish. Whether it be navy ships or animals, 'sonar' is a mechanism whereby sound is used to locate an object. We named our club Sonar for that same purpose; people will find our venue because of the sound, both the music that we present, and the quality of the sound systems. The sound in our club is one of the best in the country, and once the concert hall is done, we intend for it to be unparalled in Baltimore and beyond.
The other key to Sonar is our staff. Every person in our organization is committed to bringing Baltimore the best club experience we possibly can, and everyone on our staff is involved in music or the arts in some way. While we do our part, we remind everyone that the vibe created in the venue is a partnership between us, the people on stage, and you! We all know Baltimore continues to struggle to become a great city, Sonar is here to help achieve that goal.
Thanks for patronizing our joint.

i might as well go for tickets and see them 3 nights in a row.
that'll put me at 7 shows in 8 days for that week span.
