If we were from DC, I'm sure bnyced0 and myself would, but being from NYC and Richmond, that's a long drive without an assured ticket at the end.

Man there are some real whiny bitch SP fans, wah wah he bought 4 tickets, personally I don't see where it's such a hard concept to grasp, perhaps if some of y'all weren't such goddamn whiners you might actually have 3 friends who would go with you to a show as well.
 Having said that if anyone has a +1 that they want to offer up to a filmer who'll give you a copy of the show (in addition to other bands in my "vault" haha) feel free to PM me (though I'm not holding my breath on that one haha).

When did he say he was selling them for profit?  He's goign with a bunch of his friends?  There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

On Craigslist people are asking for 45$ and 75$.

 First it was $1,000, then down to $800 for two. Now she's selling off only one for $500.

heh, i actually messaged this girl to tell her that she won't be able to sell both.  not that i care about her, it was about protecting innocent buyers from paying big bucks only to have one of them shut out of the show... but come to think of it, maybe i shouldn't have,  maybe i should have let people get bitten... then again that "someone" might have been julian, which would have sucked.  so maybe my decision to contact this low-life scalper was right.  dunno.  thoughts?

Yeah, I really don't know why people are jumping down this kid's throat. He got two tickets. Someone else in his group got two tickets. Would you all feel better if they took 2 cars so it's 2 groups of 2? Geez.

for those who didnt get tickets...
 
 how many windows did you have open?
 
 my friend and I who were in charge of getting the tickets literally had 100 windows on each of our computers... i got in at like 1004 and he got in at 1006...
 
 I used firefox which was nice w/ the tabbing feature and he used IE(which took longer to sort out the windows)
 
 
 Unfortunately, the days of camping out for tickets are gone...you either have to be quick with your fingers(at ticketmaster.com) or lucky (at tickets.com)
 
 Can't wait to see you all that got tickets on Tuesday, and those who didnt at Pimlico or later this fall when they go touring(def will be at Pittsburgh show)

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Also, I found tickets for dirt cheap and was wondering, can the buyer pick up the tickets days before the show?
 
 Because or else I'm screwed. :|

how are they going to scalp tix when they don't have them in hand?  in the past 930 has done the mobile box office.  they go down the waiting line with wristbands and a will call list.  when they get to you you give them a photo id, they check the list and put a wristband on you.  then you go into the club.

For IE 7, -> tools,-> Internet Options, Tabs.  Check the box that says enable tabs.

They're going to have to meet them in advance and then go in with them.  For the people who bought tickets in their name and think they're going to pass them off to their buddy...THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, you may as well make plans to go.

 Yea, we used two different  user names, addresses, or email addresses,to get our tickets...
 
 just b/c i get 4 tickets means I'm scalping?  lol, its not like I bought 4 iPhones...what as the deal w/ the parking situation down there(not from the area and we are traveling far...our hotel is near a metro station and were going to use that, but don't know when the last ride is)

if you are indeed not scalping, then more power to you.
 
 parking: plenty of free street parking, or use the $10 lot.  my suggestion: take a metro to the show and take a taxi back afterwards, shouldn't be more than $10-12 if you're anywhere near downtown/NW.  taxi = no DUI, no worrying about missing last metro, no skipping out on any of the show, etc - it'll be worth it.

Thats the plan for this show I think.  Josh and the rest of them make it pretty damn hard to scalp tickets.

I said OR for profit, and wasn't specifically talking about him but anyone in general who spoofs to get more than that allowed.  If he only got two that's  fine, that means his friend got two as well, which is different than I GOT FOUR.  Or are we suspending math today?
