 Elsewhere on the Forum, sueandnotu is attempting to trade her liver for Belle & Sebastian tix. Now that there's a second show, she'll be able to see them without losing a vital body part. Can't you all just be happy for her?

I'm very happy for sueandnotu....she'll be able to see half a show in the early hours of the morning instead of no show....those of us who were on the ball and bought tickets the day they went on sale will now get to see half a show as a matinee instead of a full show in the evening.
 
 Geddit?!

GREAT NEWS FOR BASEBALL FANS!!!
 
 At tonights seventh game between the redsocks and yankees, the yankees have decided to empty the stadium during the seventh inning stretch and sell tickets for the remaining of the game. They have decided to do this because so many people who wanted to buy tickets but didn't get the arses in gear will be able to see part of the game.
 
 Wooooooo Hooooo.

Adding a second show doesn't mean they're dividing their set in half, with half a set for each show. It means they are performing two [2] complete shows in one night. The setlist may be identical for each show, or they may change it around. That's up to B&S.

There's no way we will get the same "quality product" if they are doing two shows on the same night, and like I said earlier, I'll never buy advance tickets for a show at the 930 again....note to markie, Badly Drawn Boy is a no-no for sure now.
 
 Having said that, it's really no biggie, if the show sucks it sucks, and life goes on. If the show starts too early for me to make it on time, then I just got ripped off $70 or whatever it was with the service fees.
 
 Do the doors for the first show still open at 7:30pm as stated on my ticket?

Mankie, I'm amazed anyone would go to a Badly Drawn Boy show a second time.  it's terrible the club would even have him

I've already seen him twice and thoroughly enjoyed both shows. I think he's a great musician and good entertainer. His 'thing' is to be disorganized like he was last time, re-starting songs a couple of times etc....if you want polished go see Britney/JT/N'syn etc.
 
 Each to their own though.

Why not?
 
 If you sell cars to two customers in one day, does that mean that the customers get only half the service they would have received if you had only sold one?

If I sell the same car twice, someone gets a used car!
 
 930 is the salesman, B&S is the car..yours is a bad analogy.

[markie]

But B&S do a show the night before and the night after......
 
 I am sure every show they perform is a unique experience all the same.
 
 Sorry Mankie, I understand your annoyance to only a very limited extent.
 
 I dont see why it would stop you coming to see BDB. Hell I could even pick up tickets for you if you want to avoid the service charge.....
 
 You could count it as a bribe toward further help.....

So B&S is playing a single show and then 9:30 is selling tickets to what?  A "used" B&S show?
 
 And you say my analogy is bad.......
 
 B&S is providing two cars, an early one and a late one.  9:30 is selling both of them.
 
 This really isn't a difficult concept.
 
 Your complaint about moving the early show to a start time you may not be able to make is a valid concern.  But this idea that it will only be half a show isn't.

Had I known there was going to be two shows on the same night I wouldn't have bought tickets in the first place....that's my beef.
 
 The BDB decision is just a personal boycott of the club until I calm down a bit...just like I won't be spending one penny in the club during the B&S show.

Unless B&S are using two completely different set of band members for the two shows.....it's the same fucking car!
 
 Let's try this in simple baseball terms for the benefit of my American friends......the pitcher for the Redsocks was left in for too long last night and so began to pitch inferior pitches towards the end of the game, and therefore allowed the yankees to win the game....HAD HE KNOWN he was going to be left in for as long as he was, I'm sure he would've saved some of his energy for the latter innings and therefore pitched a little inferior in ther earlier part of the game.
 
 B&S are the pitcher, they now know they will be left in for a long time, so are bound to save some energy for the latter innings...OR....will pitch inferior pitches during the latter innings.
 
 Had the pitcher had the option of cutting the earlier innings down to two outs instead of three knowing he was going to be in for the long-haul, I'm sure he would've....B&S have the option to cut short the earlier innings because there's no set rules for how long an "innings" has to be during a show...
 
 Now do you understand?

I hate baseball.
 
 I understand your argument, but I don't think that B&S playing two shows is as physically demanding as a pitcher pitching nine innings instead of five.  It's not like B&S is Andrew WK or something.

this deja vu with a slightly different cast of character..
 
 wasn't you who said buyer beware in response to the practice of other concert promoters who dropped ticket prices or began offering two for one tickets in the face of sagging ticket sales.  this after the hardcore fans had ponied up for full price tickets.
 
 loads of artists do two shows in the same night, this is nothing new.  i'll bet tom jones does two shows most nights in vegas...
