Sunday is a bizarre onsale date.

The vast majority of shows here in SF go on sale on Sunday's for some reason.  At first I thought this was odd, then I remembered we're all heathens....

It makes so much more sense to have it on a Sunday since less people are working then. It continues to amaze me how many people don't get (or, 'don't care' is probably more appropriate) that a large amount of music loving people have absolutely no access to the internet while working. It's those 10:00AM weekday sales, especially for local shows, that irk me. And giving your cc# to another, or asking someone else to front your tickets on theirs is just not the most reasonable alternative.

Unless of course their whole tour is sold by auction, then the day they go on sale doesn't matter...

Meh; there are fewer and fewer instant-sellout shows that I care to see anymore anyway. Guessing the same goes for you. Those onsales do make for great forum reading, however. ;D

since i am no longer allowed to start threads of my shows, here's flyers to some shows that i'm doing.

1/24/10 - Hosting for Mic Finite's EP Release Party For "Could Have Been Worse"


2/4/10 - The USB (Rappers Edition) is a show I've started connecting the downloading to performances. A test run of this concept will involve one of my newest projects.




i know this is not cool of me and seems pretty vain but just in case some of you who check this board who came out.....i wanna thank you for stopping by on Sunday. not a bad turnout for competing with People Under The Stairs at thr 930 Club.

also, just wanted to submit another reminder about my show entitled The USB (the black flyer). there will be different editions of this going on. soon, i will look for bands (rock, jazz, etc.). to participate in this. but this is the test run that i'm trying out myself with some other folks.

You're making assumptions about some things that you don't know anything about.

Az, it's true that I really have no interest in most of the sell out shows but I wasn't thinking in terms solely of my interests. That concept crosses all musical styles and genres.

When Radiohead played Merriweather a few years ago, those tickets had some odd on sale time. Something like a late Thursday night or something. Gotta give them credit for trying to give much more fair access to a broader section of fans.

I guess this is as good of a place as any:

From the Coachella Board:

"from a source:

radiohead will be releasing tour dates within the next couple of days. i can only speak to the fact that they will be playing dc metropolitan area (that's where my source comes from), but it is assumed that they have other gigs lined up as well in other cities. supposedly tickets (at least for dc) will be onsale on the 14th of february"

Take it for what you will...

Tickets for the '08 tour that was at Nissan went on sale on Feb. 14.

Sounds like someone might be 2 years late to the party?

Just checked my calendar, and my assumption about what day of the week it is was spot on!

Not quite on the level as agreeing with Seth, but Julian bestowing a POTW to Rhett?  What's the world coming to????
