There are still VERY good seats for this available right now. Including front of the LOGE & PIT.

A friend and I just got ours in the Pit.  Huzzah!

Wow - Over an hour into the sale and there are still GA/Floor tickets left.  Over-estimating their draw maybe?

[grotty]

I wonder if they've expanded the PIT area somehow?
 
 This does seem really strange.
 
 Pity all the poor folks who fell for Ticketwankers dirty tricks: selling lawn tickets during the presale to create the illusion of demand to move some crap seats.

I saw the Shins at the Norva in April; amazing set. James Mercer could go solo.

  honestly, who gives a fuck?  Both bands are good.  Why do people care so much what pecking order bands play in?   It's like bureaucrats worrying about who has the slighly bigger desk.

both bands playing together is good! it means i can not go to one show rather than not go to two!

i definately remember them opening for modest mouse in baltimore in like 2001. . .actually, the shins were the first band, then black heart procession, then modest mouse.  a year or so after that, they opened for the red house painters at black cat.
