Foo Fighters 11/11/11 thread

[Driveway]

Sometimes I splurge.  Do you always buy the cheapest shoes in the store?

Why not just go to see the bands you like at the Velvet Lounge or other small venues? Wouldn't that keep you busy enough to avoid paying $147 to see a band in a hockey arena?

So he basically likes a couple of their albums, hates a few, and thinks a couple are ok. That's pretty tepid.

 I could say the same thing about many bands, and pay $15 or less to see them.

 

Wow, what a glowing recommendation. $147 for that. How much would you pay for a band you actually liked?

i guess your reading comprehension skills do not enable you to grasp that he does like them?  a recap: liked the first two albums, didn't care for the next few, thought the penultimate (that's fancy-talk for "before last") was pretty good and now likes most of the last album.  where in there do you read that he doesn't like the band?

Ok, let me know next time Foo Fighters play at the Velvet Lounge.  I'll gladly pay $15.

Hey wait a minute...Ringo is my favorite Beatle!! So what if he only wrote like, 2 songs? He MADE the Beatles. Those other drummers didn't have his boyish charm and cool fingerwear.

I buy my shoes at thrift stores, during 50% off holiday sales.

I think the more appropriate question is "have you ever spent $147 on something that I would not be interested in?"

I'm out. Pulled some 100s seats, but nothing within the first half of the arena. I can't buy tickets Friday because I'm working and won't be near a computer. Guess I'll have to try a day or 2 before the show to see what opens up or what I can find on Craigslist. Unless one of you miraculously have an extra Floor ticket. I promise I'll make it worth your while and buy you beer. Bombay knows I'm good for it!

Is there another presale?  I'm not aware -- this is the one that was announced by both 9:30 Club and Foos for their FB/fan club.

It was a DC101 presale, too.  Same password.

[bearman🐻]

That makes SO much sense now. I knew something had to be up. It might as well have been a general sale then. I'd guess they put up a few more tickets than DAR can hold. Friday will likely be an easier grab for folks.

[StoneTheCrow]

Ok - I knew multiple presales were going on but didn't know they were all rolled into one.

I didn't even try to get tix.

[sweetcell]

i also got an e-mail from the verizon center, inviting me to a "special venue presale".  password: ROCK.

And it's true -- openers for this show are GREAT. Joy Formidable *tore it up* at Lolla on Sunday...

I know.  It's pretty frustrating.  This basically was the first of two general sales...they posted the shit on FB for crissake.

I wish there was this much demand when I was trying to sell my Caps vs. Tampa tickets back in the playoffs.

I'm still going to try to get floors tomorrow but i guess so will the rest of the world except for Brian Wallace and James Ford of course.. They'll be on this thread telling us how stupid we are.
