 however, i might not respect it in the future, if the basis of your argument is that the artists look like hobos.

No, there are lots of artists I like that look like hobos. They just don't sound like hobos. The only people I'm really and truly predjudice against are the jews, of course. [/b]

The next big musical genre, as predicted by QC:

i'm fucking sick of this.
 i tried to buy tickets at 10:04. It said that tickets were still available, but not in to quantity I wanted. Okay.
 I check back in thirty minutes and it's sold out.
 
 Thanks pre sale, Spin Magazine, MTV, Rolling Stone, etc. etc. etc.

It's the "I liked a band before they were popular and now that they're popular I can't get a ticket to their show" syndrome.

i'm confused as to why they didn't buy  tickets when they had the chance... and place two orders if need be...

[plasmashark]

I'm confused as well Kosmo. I posted an alert last saturday for the people who read the board that tix went up unannounced. Anyone who comes in here to do anything other than complain should have been able to get tix.

[granita]

"They" as in me? Yeah, I tried. Multiple times. Either it was already sold out or tickets.com was having technical difficulties.
 
 I'm fine with them being popular. More power to them. Soft sales/Pre Sales are unfair to the average fan who isn't on multiple mailing lists. There's no way this show would have sold out in twenty minutes any other way. Period.

Again, people shouldn't have to read a message board or a mailing list to be able to buy tickets to a show.

sorry for the inability to use the boards today (tried to edit and ended up responding to myself). At least its documented now if anyone wants to get me committed.

You did not have to be on the mailing list. Guess how I found out tickets went on sale last Saturday?? Give up? When I found out tix were going on sale I kept checking the 930 page on tickets.com. Unless you have to be on a mailing list to log in there now...

Can you read? No where did I say that I deserved tickets more than any of their other fans. I'm pissed off about 9:30's system of releasing tickets to the public.

[kosmo vinyl]

sorry i'm confused on whether you could get tickets or not at 10:04, your post suggests that you could get tickets but not in the quantity you wanted... all i'm asking is why you didn't what you could get then and not wait 30 minutes to try again.  just curious not being critical...

[chokeychicken]

granita, get over yourself.  seriously.  you're not the only fucking person in the world who likes indie bands.  this show has been advertised for weeks, and this thread began at least a week ago; tickets were on sale for over a week before it was announced on the 930 page. you had plenty of time to get tickets.  instead, you chose to think that you're the only person who likes the yeah's, and therefore, missed out.  
 
 it's not rolling stone's fault they make good music.  its yours for simply not buying tickets when you had the chance.  
 
 you say that you shouldn't have to read an email newsletter or a message board to buy tickets to a show.  but if really watned to go that bad, any of the above wouldn't really be that big of a deal, now would it?
 
 i'm fucking sick of people bitching about not getting tickets because they don't want to take the time to read stuff about when they go on sale, or other stuff along the same lines.  then people wnat to go blame scalpers; when in reality, all scalpers are doing is exactly what you're not.  their homework.
