embiggen Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 $8 a song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 and ten songs???????well i hardly doubt that, they played 16 when i saw them, but still... there better be another pretty large opening act for that money... The White Stripes & Lips 2 or 3 years ago at the Aragon on NYE was $75, a bit more justifiable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Kyle, where did you find out they're $80? There's gotta be another band on the bill that night... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Kyle, where did you find out they're $80? There's gotta be another band on the bill that night...it's on the pre-sale site the 30th show is $37.50 (still pretty high for a band with one album, i don't care how famous one of it's members is ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 while that's a decent openerl, $80 is still mad cash for that NYE show imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 while that's a decent openerl, $80 is still mad cash for that NYE show imoAgreed, which is why I'm sticking with the 30th. Not that I wasn't tempted, though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Agreed, which is why I'm sticking with the 30th. Not that I wasn't tempted, though... good idea that sorta makes me wonder... i know TWS fans are pretty hardcore and they'd have no prob filling up the Riv at $80 on NYE regardless of opener, but doesn't seem to me like the Raconteurs have that hardcore of following yet, even including the hardcore TWS fans who eat up anything Jack does. don't see the NYE show selling out all that fast, especially w/ the exact same show over half the price the night before.

Dr. Steve Brule Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what else is going on. I'm crossing my fingers for Flaming Lips at Aragon maybe? though as a last resort, Smoking Popes will be at Double Door. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
