damn interpol

[elgreg]

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?

Seth, I can feel lots of apologies coming your way.  Hah!  That would be the day.

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.

You got to sleep in extra-late on Saturday morning, I think.

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.

Why has this topic continued to go on for this long?   I say go for the gold, break the "Just Announced" thread count.

i was very surprised that a thread i started got this big.

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