I rarely miss getting tickets to shows, even though I always go to the clubs to pick up tickets -- on occasion, I'll tickets.com for something like Interpol or QOTSA. Sometimes, though, you miss track that a particular new band might actually sell out. Also, I've been getting burned lately, holding extra tickets, so was waiting for some concrete yes or nos from my friends. This is my one frustration, as I'm not in to going to many shows on my own, but when I pick up four tickets on spec, I sometimes and left having to sell one or two. Ggggggrrrrrr.
