I'm glad it's official then.
 
 Explain to me in a logical way why this presents a problem? [/b]
I think Bearman's post above here more than sufficiently answers your question. If both the early show and the late show had been announced at the same time, there's no way I would have willingly bought a ticket to the early show. I vastly prefer late shows. I don't work a 9-to-5 job, and early shows are difficult for me to make. Now I'm stuck unless I decide to try to sell my ticket or trade it or something. [/b]
Okay so for arguments sake let's say the first show sold out quickly (as it did) and the band decides they would like to add a second show. Is the venue supposed to say no and disapoint all the people who would love a shot at buying tickets because the people who already have tickets feel like one show is going to some how suffer because of the other?
 
 Sonic Youth are seasoned pros, they're not gonna short change one crowd because they add a second show.
 
 We've done this plenty of times and I've never heard anyone complain about the quality of a performance based on the number of shows in a night.
 
 As far as one show being early, well it gives you a chance to get to bed at a decent hour since the show is on a weeknight.
 
 I just think the "I hate it when 9:30 does this." makes it sound like we're somehow screwing people when in reality we're trying to give you more chances to see your favorite bands.
 
 Personally if it were my favorite band I'd snatch up tickets to each show and go to both, but that's just me.

On a happier note, it is now appearing that the Bob Mould show (w/band) that is happening on July 16th (Sunday) is actually a FREE show with multiple bands, including the Flaming Lips. Details are still being finalized, but it sounds like it will be pretty cool. Forum road trip anyone?

This Sonic Youth situation reminds me of the Great B&S shitstorm of '03.

I agree. I'm glad there are two shows.

damn, every time with you.
 
  why do you always have to be so damn know itall every single time someone makes one little bad comment about the club.
 
   so, someone buys a ticket to a show, thinking , like most shows, band goes on at 9:30 or so, then finds out they go on at 7pm.  he has a right to be upset, in fact, people have the right to be upset for ANY reason.  I live in Baltimore and if i had chosen to buy a ticket, i would have to take off work early to get to the show.  
 
  going to bed early? what a stupid reason, shadrach.  as is "oh i'd just buy tickets for both shows" i know for one, i cant afford to do shit like that.  
 
   and yes, the 930 Club did this.  this was their decision, not Sonic Youth's. and while the second show will probably make more people happy than angry, its bound to put a couple people in a crappy situation.
 
   ever heard that , "you can't please everyone" saying.  well, its true, so dont be surprised when sometimes you hear from the one(s) you didnt please.  its not like he said he was never going to the club again. jeez.

Maybe a happy medium would be for the club to allow patrons who bought tickets for the early show to be able to trade them for the later show at their will. Seems like a win-win no??

In California, if there is a line up change or time change, people are given refunds if they choose to. Maybe that should be 930 Club's policy.

 Well I'm far from a know it all, but I may have a little inside knowledge being that I work for 9:30.
 
 And as far as people complaining, they have every right, just like I have every right to address those complaints. People will always find something to complain about; the show was too late, too early, too loud, too quiet, too long, too short, they didn't play enough old stuff, they played too much old stuff, it was too crowded, too empty and on and on and on.
 
 We really try to make as many people happy as possible and the fact is that you can't always make everyone happy. You've got to break a few eggs to make an omelet... whatever cliche you want to hear, there's plenty that apply.
 
 As a whole I think we make folks happy far more than unhappy and that's why people keep buying tickets and coming back.

that would be real nice but i doubt its gonna happen.  yes, goldenvoice does refunds for all their shows.  and that's why we live in DC, and not California.
