Yeah, bands like that are usually a huge disappointment without the guests. Album sounds intriguing, though.

The Damned is canceled due to illness AND Clutch is sold out. What a bummer.

I guess I'll stay home...unless there's someone with a Clutch extra ticket?

crap crap crap.   

[azaghal1981]

Well...fuck.

I'm a little surprised Clutch sold out at $25, honestly.

[andyrichter]

am i the only one who follows the sites that sell tickets and the others that tell you when bands will be touring, so to look out for those tickets, and then go online to buy them when they go on sale or as close as possible . . . so i don't go "man, i really wanted to see that show, i can't believe it is sold out!"?

My "well...fuck" was to the damned being cancelled. The Clutch thing was just a response to it selling out. I had planned to go to the damned but Clutch would've been a nice back-up plan.

Didn't see this mentioned: Live Nation venues now sell their tickets thru LiveNation.com and not Ticketmaster, as of 1-1-09.  I got an e-mail, but am sure there is info on their site.

Many venues will continue with TicketMaster, per contracts.  But more and more of LiveNation events will be on a new, separate ticketing system via LiveNation Ticketing.    2009 will see lots of transition.    Blockbuster stores are the official outlet network in-person sales sites.   The online site reportedly has a pick-your-seat concept similar to the seating diagrams of airlines.   (Don't know how that'd work for busy onsale times, but sounds like fun during leisure buying.)     

And since this big new addition to the ticketing world will most likely bring about more discussion, a separate thread should be started, if not done already, by whomever chimes in next...

you know why i like live nation.  they send me weekly emails about bands and albums, tour dates, specific venues that i go to and what will be playing there.  ticketmaster just sits there and dreams up new ways to auction tickets at a 1000x markup.

now if only the 930 club figured out how to do that consistently, maybe it could take on the big boys...
