 all you nasty little "junior members" with your two posts complaining about not getting tickets at PRESALE that you somehow feel entitled to?  

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!

Your such a prick-waver!
 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.
