Nowhereman65 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 So I've procrastinated on buying my ticket to their show tonight and now its sold out........ Should I look on craigslist and try my luck, wait and try and buy off scalpers or just show up early to the venue and hope they sell a couple tickets at the door ??..... Any input would be appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Same thing happened to me with an Andrew Bird show early this year... heartbreaking. I'd call the venue first, see if they held any tix to sell at the door. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't hurt to go... often people end up with extra tix and will sell them for face value. Good luck!

stickman Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 About a year and a half ago the very same thing happened to me! But this story has a happy ending because although I really love Band of Horses, I mainly went to see the opener, Simon Dawes, who are awesome by the way. Simon Dawes happened to be sitting outside the venue when we showed up a couple of hours before the show to try to buy tickets. Since I had talked to them after their show the last time I saw them they remembered me and said they would try to put us on their guest list. It all worked out but that doesn't really help out your situation. Sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
