Mars Volta question

[Mr.Whippy]

Does anyone know if the last Mars Volta show at the Rams Head sold out in advance?  I'm guessing it did, but I'm just checking.
 
 I want to go to the show in Sept., but I won't know for a few weeks if I'm going to be in town that date or not.  I'm guessing I should just get a ticket and know that I can sell it later if I can't make it.  
 
 Thanks

unless it's a financial strain, i'd say this is the way to go.

It sold out in about 48 hours.

There is a presale on the 21st.  The password made me think of a guy named David fighting a giant.

Exactly, buy your tickets PRONTO once they're released.  Just a heads up though, you're better off getting them through the Rams Head website and not Ticketmaster.

Yeah it sold out and a friend of mine that wanted to go had to get his tickets off of StubHub (there was a lack on Craiglist at the time...).  I think he ended up paying $200+ for a couple of tickets, plus their fee.  I'd jump on getting the presale tix if at all possible for you.
 
 On a related note, anyone going to this show and seeing them again at ACL five days later?  It's going to be epic.

Presale is in progress at the Rams Head site now.
