I know very little about MBV, but it seems like this was a rabidly desired show.  And billing it as the only mid-Atlantic show will bring some attention.

I have no plans to get tickets, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sells out quickly.

I thought you guys said MBV was huuuuuuge. That they were going to sell out Merriweather, that they could headline a major festival, that they could sell more tickets than motherfucking Hootie in a Honkie Hat.

Instead, they're playing some 1500 capacity club in Richmond.

Have you guys overestimated the popularity of these guys, or what?

I mean, what size venues were they playing back in the 90's?

sell out msg and wembley on the same night

They played both New York and London on the same night?

And please don't use stats from Europe or England as evidence. They're all a bunch of fags over there anyway.

Don't you see...they were so big they didn't fit in one country anymore.

Sorry, that thread doesn't interest me.

btw - Julian, where in Richmond do you live? I'm in the fan.

and im freaking out about this too. Holy poo on a fucking stick.

How about that we have a fan rat on the boards!  I'm in Short Pump near Godwin HS.

Ewww you're in the snobby part of the west end! The further you get towards Short Pump the snobbier people get. I grew up near Whyndam and hated it. I moved to Parham and graduated from Tucker HS, it was meh. But now i'm at VCU and I love it. Dave how'd you think Prodigy was btw? They were awesome, and thanks again for the ticket!

As for MBV selling this place out...

It will probably sell out, but not instantly. The NY shows were at the Roseland Ballroom, and though they did sell out, I don't think it happened instantly. And that was in freaking NY! Also, another thing to keep in mind, this show isn't getting alot of advertisement before it goes onsale.

I know for a fact their LA shows last year took some time to sell out.

[gaaaaaaaaah]

Not to further clog up this thread, but I'd like to say hello to Betao, as a fellow VCU student.  So, uh, hey.

oh and BTW - the national box office isn't open on Saturday, so getting these online this weekend is the only way to go.
