Pogues show...

Sucks for your friend. It was announced twice on this forum, and on the Pogues forum.

My guess is they sold out every available ticket via yesterday's pre-sale....which makes it false advertising in my book, stating that tickets go on sale on 12/16...when they don't have any left!!!  If this is Seth's or somebody else's idea of how to keep tickets out of the hands of scalpers, it didn't work.  Tickets for the 3/9 show were being scalped on Ebay yesterday...and they still are, with BUY IT NOW prices generally starting in the $200@ range.  For that price, I can go to Atlantic City and see the Pogues on  Saturday (at the Borgata), 3/11. (Tickets are still available there.)

working now, with 2 ticket limit

[billysbones]

it worked

[RatBastard]

Worked for me as well.  Just got 2 tickets a few seconds ago.  The link in the email didnt work but the link on the 930 site did.

I got it to work too, finally. Phew!

frontpage says both shows sold out

[joliver0001]

Oops...I stand corrected, as tickets went on sale at about 10:10AM.....never mind!!!

While I also managed to snag 2 tickets this morning, I guess I'm a bit peeved about the pre-sale because I've always been emailed by the 930 club in the past about pre-sales, and wasn't this time.  If that pre-sale lasted 8 hours, when did it start, at 6 AM?  I tried buying tickets around 2 in the afternoon, after a friend called to tell me about the pre-sale, only to be told on-line that the # of tickets I was requesting (1 or 2)weren't available, try another price range (there was only one out there!), etc.

When did the stress & challenge of scoring tix to hot show cease to be part of the fun?
 
 I guess for some of the folks posting here Seth & Shane both should have known they wanted in to the show and personally delivered their tickets to them on a silver platter...
 
 Spoiled much? Geeze.

Fall of the Pogues?

Wow, thanks. Not as good as the original but still very nice.
