congrats on getting good seats...frustrating to see someone after you get KK seats though. i can't imagine anyone would have tossed those seats back into the general pool, so it's not clear why they wouldn't have been available when you were buying. since you tossed seats back, how does it work at the box office? the person in the office is accessing the same software and then tells you where the seats are? or do they have an allotment of paper tickets? i instantly got shut out online a la Knotgreen, but kept trying.... the TM site didn't allow for the 'choose seats' option like others h

i think i am gonna ask this question on Quora... seems like there must be something going on... i used to be skeptical and chalked it up all to human demand, but i am not sure after today. here's an article about a bot that gets hard to secure restaurant reservations... i'm sure there are similar ones for buying tickets. https://diogomonica.com/bot-wars-the-arms-race-of-restaurant-reservations-in-sf/ one helpful thing would be to limit ticket sales to 4. who needs 8 seats together?

gah... got one very good single seat in the Mezz... i think i'll take it.
-
even the tickets on Stubhub are not that good. wow.
-
just pulled one pretty good seat (center balcony, row H) but i need two... oh well.
-
you looking for single tickets? if i am bringing my 13 year old, he's not gonna be sitting by himself. edit - just pulled two seats in the last row of the balcony. no thanks.
-
i typed in captcha codes in two browsers for at least 15-20 reps, and eventually got two seats but they were the lower box A, way to the left... you cna't see shit from that angle so i'll guess that i'll take my chances via stubhub.
-
insane... that was even faster than the two presales... Sorry, no tickets from venue currently...Tons of fans are shopping and some may have let their tickets go. You can try again or change quantity or ticket type.

me too. good luck everybody else!

he did "Ordinary People" on that tour, iirc. epic tune.

huzzah to Diane!

i remember an interview i did w/ Buzz from the Melvins, and he couldn't understand why people would play music in a building meant for sporting events.
-
on point. i immediately thought it was in regards to a reissue program.

i just talked w/ Gustav for about 10 min outside the club while he was having a cig. i'll get the interview transcribed over this weekend (hopefully) and up w/ the live review at The Big Takeover. The show was phenomenal. and it was fun to see people into it as well. i feel like this band is 100x what Tame Impala is, with 1/1000th the audience.

the Dirty Harry/Charles Bronson vigilante mindset runs a lot deeper than you think it does. if we are trading anecdotes, a good friend of mine who was in the air force and did multiple stints in Iraq and Afghanistan felt this article was 100% on target. i have no problem with the good guys w/ guns being people have undergone serious and comprehensive training on how to use one, not only in the sterile environment of a shooting range, but in real life situations. those people are called policeman. no need for Ronnie Rambo-wannabe to feel he's just as qualified to take out his concealed

agannis would suck. i'd gladly pay double the price for half the venue size. that said, i saw the band at the same venue almost 14 years ago, so there's that...
-
serious question... do you think if the top price seats for Boston were double (ie, $150) that they would also sell so fast? i think teh answer is yes.

The sold out show demonstrated that some doctors are more effective at communication than others.
-
Dungen was fantastic last night. If you are below your doctor's recommended dosage of Swedish folk/psych then do what you can to see one the remaining shows.
-
the demand for Boston seats is insane.
-
fuck... well that was even faster than yesterday... Sorry, no matches currently...Tons of fans are shopping and some may have let their tickets go. You can try again, or you can explore one of the options below.

Someone operating Wilco's Facebook page gave me this info too.

Almost sounds like you are talking about The Melvins.

Chafee should just quit right now.
