I bought Spoon tickets at the club, so of course didn't get an email.  And I've been out of town, so have just learned of this via the email blast.
 
 Monday shows suck, and Monday shows in MD.  Shit.
 
 Though, I think IMP is doing the best for folks who bought tickets -- considering I paid $21 at the box office, and can upgrade to Pavillion for only $10 more, which is the same as a new lawn ticket.
 
 But, of course, I have no desire to see The Shins.  Actually, when I first read about the change, I assumed The Shins were opening for Spoon.  Not kidding about that...

Except that we have to drive 45 minutes home.  No 'hammered' on that Monday night...
 
 [Clearly I've been out of town and am just reading all of this, responding very late...}
 
 I haven't finished reading the whole thread, but you know this whole switcheroo is not just IMP trying to fill a bigger venue.  This is a big opportunity/boost for Spoon, too, to play to a crowd of 15,000 rather than two nights at the club.  And while I can hear some of you whining that it's unfair to play to a bigger 'disinterested' crowd rather than a small club of dedicated fans, don't you realize it's the JOB of a band to BUILD its fanbase???
 
 And for Spoon, gambling on Shins fan is a pretty damn good gamble.

If any of my posse don't want their ticket, I'll sell my $20 ticket and you can exchange it for a $30 pavillion seat (or Pit).
 
 Speaking of Pit, does this mean they're reserving the whole pit for club ticket holders?
 
 Also, when do pavillion seats go on sale?  How do we get a good seat (my seat position may determine whether I go...).

No.  And no.  I'll slam a $100 on the table on that @ 2:1 odds.  Who's bitin'???

They're already on sale.  The pit isn't just for club ticket holders.  You can still buy pit tickets from TM.  They seem to have plenty.

I'll refrain from stating a long, drawn-out opinion.  I'm not happy, but I appreciate what Seth does, and I think IMP always tries to do best for us.
 
 My question is: How are people receiving these emails? I'm on the 9:30 newsletter list, and don't remember seeing it there, but I'm not on Spoon's.

I'm pretty sure it was in the recent 9:30 email blast.  I imagine it also went to people who bought tickets online.

Why is tickets.com still selling tickets for the now canceled 930 Spoon shows??

The Shins have agreed to move their shows to the 9:30 Club where they will open two nights for Spoon.

Thanks.  Maybe if it was a blast, I just skipped that part...oh well.  I rarely buy my tickets online, which could also be why I didn't see any emails.
