Depeche Mode presale

[Jesse]

is there any word on the hfs pre-sale for this show?
 
 i was listening last week, and they said they were gonna anounce info on it today. however i haven't been listening.

[bearman🐻]

Another question...will this show be general admission like the last time they played? Seth, any idea?

[Seth Hurwitz]

not our show
 
 ClearChannel tour

[bearman🐻]

Crap. That's too bad, it would have been great to do GA. THanks for the reply.

[Dandy01]

So, did anyone get tix today?

[bearman🐻]

I didn't have the password...$75 seats for the main floor too, and it's not even general admission. Clear Channel can blow me. Do we even know if they're going to playing anything from before Music For the Masses?

[Bombay Chutney]

I forgot all about it.  Not that it matters, since I wouldn't pay $75 to see them in a place that big.  Oh well.

[Dandy01]

Damn, me neither, no password.  I don't think they've played anything pre: Music for the Masses for several tours as far as I remember.

$75? Ouch!! Were tickets for DM that expensive last time they were in town?

  I don't think I agree with the above statement. I don't think DM will sell out the Patriot Center...my guess is that it will come close (maybe by the day of), but I just don't see it happening. They have a huge fan base in LA, but when they played the Patriot Center back in 1998 I don't think it sold out. It was pretty full, but I don't recall it being sold out.

not sure about that one. foo fighters and weezer completely sold out within a week or two, and the new DM album is getting nothing but rave reviews. i remember when green tickets went for sale, there were plenty of tickets, even pit. as soon as the new album dropped place was sold out.

I have a DM pre-sale password but I'm not going to use it.
 
 Not really interested in seeing them again...

with all the ticketwanker fees, a GA ticket will be $90. i think i'll just wait until closer to the show and buy a cheap ticket off ebay or craig's list. i was expecting tickets to be in the $35-$50 range, not $50-$75.

I can't decipher the patriot center seating chart; if they have tix at price level 1 concourse seating, section 114 row B, is that good??

[Dandy01]

Got my tix for $49, section 130, row O.

If people who are genuinely interested in seeing the band are going to pass on going to see them because of ticket price, I can guarantee you this won't sell out. 10,000 is the capacity (roughly) for the Patriot Center. That's a lot of DM fans, most of whom are older and probably unaware that they're even going on tour.
