The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

[sweetcell]

alex - are you surprized?!?  this show sold out right away, pretty much... i pulled a few singles between 10:10 and 10:15, but no pairs were left by then - as close to an instant sell-out as one can expect.
 
 oh yeah, i remembered that i did indeed get one pair yesterday during the onsale - Orch row A seats 10-12, which are at the very far edge and were marked "obstructed view".  i threw them back, which in the end was the right thing to do since i can't go to the show at all and might have to eat the row B single that i did end up buying   :eek:

[you be betty]

they rocked it so hard on SNL.  and i loved how they put them in the digital short!
 
 
 wish i had tickets to this real bad

It took alot longer than I expected, to be honest.  I was still pulling single tickets late Saturday just out of curiousity.

Ticketmaster originally gave me (obstructed view) Box A tickets; another person I know had the same situation with Box V. Now that I think of it, it's strange, considering the boxes are numbered and not lettered. Ah well, I didn't take them, anyhow.

Can someone fill in the holes...I heard the tail end of Kornheiser asking listeners to give him 2 tickets for the Arcade Fire show.
 
 I assume he's trying to keep his kids happy?

[kcjones119]

He asked the other day too.  I assume it's b/c of the kids but he did say (talking to the others in the studio) "They're a Montreal group, have you heard 'em?  They're pretty good."

For the record, Philly tickets sold out in about 10 minutes today, but it seemed pretty easy to get them on first try. Unfortunately, even though they said there was a 4 ticket limit, the drop down only allowed two. So I got two, and then went in to get 2 more. I checked a few minutes later out of curiosity and the drop down allowed 4 tickets, but it was sold out by then. I guess two sets in different sections is better than no tickets. I hate paying twice for the "Processing Fee". Oh well, at least you can have a drink inside of Tower Theatre.

I was able to get 2 orchestra row OO tickets at around 10:05, my girlfriend got lodge tickets a minute or two later.  How's the tower theatre for a show?  I can't wait.

There were still single seats at 10:40 am...I know because I tried...

Kornheiser pulls down seven figures a year and can't be bothered to dish out $200 for a pair on eBay....?
 
 He is clearly as big an ass as generally believed.

[Summerteeth]

Kornheiser is an old school kind of curmudgeon who probably hasn't even thought about ebay as an option.
 
 If he does like Arcade Fire, then that is just one more reason for me to like him.

I got two for Philly, left orchestra row RR. Much easier than the DAR show was.
 
 Tower is a great venue. Saw Radiohead there last year. Great sound and definitely a more conventional music venue than DAR. It's not actually in Philly, but in Upper Darby. Area is slightly sketchy...

Tower Theatre is very convenient on their subway, but I had to leave Sufjan Stevens early to catch the last train.
