Have any tapers reported ticket success yet?

Not me, my g/f got through right away but it was already sold out. I'll have her try again for the xrt pre-sale but I'm much less optimistic getting anything through that. At least Saturday I'll be able to try myself. Gonna go beg for an extra 5-day pass on How To Fight lonliness now...

Music Today should know the proper usage of "among" vs "between." I can't believe I bought something from those people.

 

Ha! That's funny, because it's a pet peeve of mine. But I'd be willing to bet that 90% of English-speaking people don't know the difference between among and between.

I'll take that Music Today merchandise off your hands if you'd rather not patronize such a company. ;)

Jesus, I'm just thinking of the songs that I've been waiting to hear live from the full band again: What's The World Got In Store (please let there be a banjo involved), I Must Be High, Nothingsevergonnastandinmyway(again), ELT, etc.

so, in reality, the only function that XRT had in relation to fridays's presale was giving us the password, right? From here out I can just go to ticketbastard, right?
Yup, XRT is the password giver and ticketbastard taketh away. Go to directly to TM. Do not pass XRT. Do not collect $200. And if you get tix and I don't, you owe me. Bigtime. :)

I've always disliked that song, and fought off the temptation to make the most obvious and terrible joke based on the name. I will not. Phew, had to get that off my chest. I will still be happy for you if they play it. I myself would be over the moon for the AGIB style Panthers and the Good Part. But no one has a firm answer on b-sides.

I tried today and I didn't get the tickets, so now I'm very pessimistic about Friday. I hate this pre-sale system.

So, if I don't get tickets and any of you who did cannot go or anything, please feel sorry about a poor little girl from Spain that will be in Chicago only for a year :rolleyes

Have any tapers reported ticket success yet? Warner?

 

I got a pair of 5-day passes. I'm splitting my pass with another taper (he's going to the first 2 and I'm going to the last 3) so there will be at least one taper at each show.

Assuming the shows aren't going to be videotaped and they don't allow tapers.

If only Ryanair flew to Chicago. Grrr. I even have a really good freind in ND but the flights would kill me. It'd be a great Xmas pressie though

 

Aer Lingus does :ninja

Has anyone gotten the presale email from Wilcoworld (for the five-day pass presale on Ticketbastard)? I emailed in four hours ago and haven't gotten a response. Or is it the same as the WXRT password given out on their member site?

 

Thanks!!
