BEN GIBBARD TICKETS ON SALE NOW

[RustyOrgan]

Dude - How am I supposed to know that there is a diff. between the old-school print newsletter and the weekly email? I figured that they were the same, and if anything, that the email version would be more current. My hardcopy newsletter often times arrives mid-month if at all. I mean - WTF? Spell the shit out next time: PRESALE FOR PRINT MAILINGLIST MEMBERS ONLY

[Fico]

I just got 3 tickets... ended up paying $22 in "service charges"... but convenience has a price I guess..

Give the guy a break.  I'm in Springfield and I hardly ever get my newsletter in time - I'm certain it will be in the mailbox tonight.  If they can't get these newsletters out in time maybe they should just quit doing these super secret mystery sales.  Only the privledged few ever seem to have the password.

[RustyOrgan]

Yeah Suckka! Give me a BREAK!!

[emondryc]

yeah seriously, thank you julian.
 
 will ben be playing new tunes or just stripped down versions of death cab songs.  anyone know?

[nkotb]

And will there be a mosh pit?  That's my number one concern.

[RustyOrgan]

Was a presale really necessary? You guys think this will sell out really quickly? What's up with all the Sold Out shows anyway? It's like EVERY SINGLE SHOW is sold out! This didn't use to happen - Any thoughts??

We don't know for sure, but in past one-and-off solo gigs he's played stuff off his solo 'HOME: Volume 5' EP, stripped down DCFC songs, stripped down Postal Service tunes, and some covers.

I would be shocked if tickets were available past noon on Saturday. Not an instant sellout, but within an hour.

[emondryc]

i'd be psyched with that setlist.

They don't call themselves DEATH CAB for nothing. How quickly we forget the 14 people crushed to death at the band's April 2006 DAR concert!!

I'll never forget buying tickets to the DEATH & DISMEMBERMENT tour at 9:30 a few years ago.  I printed out the confirmation email and a hippie guy I used to work with scoffed and said something sarcastic along the lines of "sounds like wholesome family fun."  I just had to laugh...could either of those bands be safer and less accurately named?
