  If anyone has an extra and bnyced0 hasn't gotten one you really should consider him. He's hardcore - went to the Paris show and some Asheville shows and is very nice.

If he flew all the way to Paris to see them AND saw them in Asheville, don't you think he's seen them enough?
 
 Wait a minute, are we talking about the same Smashing Pumpkins that had that song "1979?"  THAT Smashing Pumpkins?!?!  Really?  REALLY, people?  They've somehow miraculously transformed into a band that DOESN'T suck now?
 
 Jesus, this is like people working themselves into a lather over a "reunited" Sponge or Collective Soul.  Get over it people.  The 90's ended over seven years ago.  Maybe you didn't get the memo.

This is actually pretty cool.  Most of the regulars are ending up with tickets.  I am not sure how much (if any) of this was planned out, but the bottom line is that a LOT of us are going to this show after all.

I too talked to the Box Office manager about this, and it's fine.

spectacular.
 my friend and i are skipping out on work as early as we can to hit the line. sucks that it's supposed to be like 100 degrees tomorrow though.

How early are people wanting to get there? Me and my friend were going to try for between 2 and 3.

Hey Id and Julian...  If it comes down to bynced or my kid going, I'll gvie way to bynced.  Daniel (my son) gets to go to a lot of shit and missing this won't mean as much as it would to bynced.  So if its all cool with you guys, bump him up in line before Daniel.

it'll probably be between 3-4 when i get there. just because it's about a 30ish minute drive and i'll need to change out of my work clothes.

That's awesome of you. I can call/text him and see if he's procured a way in.

i don't see the sponge / collective soul / sp comparison.

I'm not sure why to get in line so early. You plan on standing in like for 5 hours then stand at your "spot" for another 2 1/2 hours? They go on around 9:30 right? lol good luck with that.  Probably would be better to just wait out the chaos and grab some drinks before hand then wander over to catch the Pumpkins set.  
 
 Congrats to everyone that picked up tickets today! A coworker of mine picked up a set as well (thanks to this board) and is now happy he can attend.

Collective Soul had two hits. Sponge had one. The Smashing Pumpkins are consistantly ranked in the top 5 or 10 of Biggest Bands of the Decade. Totally valid comparison.

Most of us bring cards and sit around with the other hardcore fans and stuff. I did this in Asheville and time flew by and it was alot of fun hearing other people's stories and stuff like that. It's a little like tailgating before a DMB concert, only without the weed or alcohol and the band afterwards isn't hippie-shit.
