Not just board members, but anyone who visits the Tickets.com page for 9:30 tickets.

Seems so. But why the lag between tickets.com and the "official announcement" at 9:30.com/City Paper ad? It's been several weeks for Bright Eyes, so it's not just a case of "we announce on Thursdays".

I couldn't see Talking Heads at the time they filmed Stop Making Sense, this is one of the things I regret the most, however, for some reason I have the impression that seeing the Arcade Fire live will somehow compensate for that.

I bought my ticket at the box office on Saturday.

 I'm impressed that they completely skipped the black cat and started at 930, I was pegging them for a black cat show for sure.

Apparently they sold out the Troubadour in LA for two nights in record time. Friends in LA said that tickets were sold out before they even went on sale to the general public.
 
 They also sold out the KEXP Yule Benefit show in Portland and that had to be around 700 people. They're also doing multiple nights in SF at the Great American Music Hall which is also larger than the Black Cat. So the 9:30 Club makes sense.
 
 I think we're going to go to see the show in Philly on the Monday night as well. I can't get over how much fun they are to watch live. It's great to see a young band with that much enthusiasm (and, at the same time, humility).

Hope everyone got their tickets...

[npetting]

you've got to be kidding me, sold out this soon.  F me.  anyone got any extra?

Crap! I need one too. I kept hoping to stop by the 9:30 box office, but just didn't have time with the holidays...

[brennser]

dayum, was gonna get em this week - oh well, I will join in on the plaintive cries for a spare ticket

[HoyaSaxa03]

this is unreal .... are there really 1200 arcade fire fans in this city hardcore enough that they knew about this show before it was up on the 930 website (which took forever to do)??
 
 i'm pissed, and i need two tickets.

[Random Citizen]

I have a feeling it may be a combination of DC-area fans and fans along the East Coast traveling to DC for the show. The shows scheduled for NYC and Philly have also sold out, so there may be an overlap.
