How to fit two B&S shows in one night.

[jkeisenh]

OK, I have two tickets in front of me.  
 
 "BELLE & SEBASTIAN, 10/20, DOORS 8:30"
 "BELLE & SEBASTIAN, 10/20, DOORS 10:30"
 
 So, not to override the other thread on this, but I find this virtually impossible.
 
 Best case scenario:
 8:30 doors
 8:31 Slumber party on
 9:00pm Slumber party off
 9:15 B&S on
 10:15 B&S off
 10:30 doors part 2
 and so on...
 SO, that means I just dropped $30 on a show that's barely going to have the headliner on for an hour, likely 45 min or so.
 That's just crap.
 Or, I can drop another $30, and, for $60, see them play a total of about 1 1/2 hours, which is obscene.
 
 What are they thinking?!?!??

doors 8.30?
 
 weekday shows are normally doors at 7.30.
 
 Mankie said his ticket was 7.30.
 
 3 hours is plenty of time.

Are you sure on that 8:30 time?
 
 Perhaps that was the time scheduled when there was only one show.  Usually on two show nights, the first show is Doors @ 6:30 or so.

silly girl, silly girl

Well then, silly me for thinking what was on the ticket was right.  I suppose the rest of us (everyone) who bought tickets before the change will all show up an hour late and miss, what, half the show?

But what do they do when the second show is announced later? If the ticket says 7.30, dont they keep to the 7.30 time?

does your ticket say 7.30, or 8.30?

Well, according to tickets.com, the early show is 7:30.  I don't know what the tickets say, but 8:30 sounds funny for a Tuesday night show.

[jkeisenh]

my ticket really does say 8:30.  perhaps I'll scan it as exhibit A.

[jkeisenh]

Thenagain, I did buy before the show was even announced (did you hear the great scandal about the announcement?  9:30 announced the show before B&S did, forcing B&S to announce and leave a nasty message to 9:30 on their website.)

 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? "

I think we've found Mankie a date for the B&S show......

If you are not having fun, then who are you having?
 
 GGW, sounds perfect.

[jkeisenh]

hey, kids, i don't swing that way.  Sorry to disappoint.
 
 Buy you all have yet to explain to me how 2 decent shows can be fit into one night, and what will happen to all of us with 8:30 doors tickets, and all that...

i just read a an interview with stuart from b&s.........
 
 sounds like he has good taste in music.........
 
 A- What do you think of all these new bands, that you see on NME, for      example. and some that are not that new, for example. The Strokes, The White      Stripes? The new 'scene' or whatever you call it.
 
      S- I must admit I'm the last person you want to ask. I don't think the      Strokes have done anything amazing, they're not a great new thing, but I      really like them, you play that in a club they get you dancing. I think I      like them more than the White Stripes. I quite like The Moldy Peaches, but      they're not so hip like other bands. I haven't heard much of other bands,      but I heard The Vines at Glastonbury and I didn't think they were very      good
