Sir Stewart Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Music Today should know the proper usage of "among" vs "between." I can't believe I bought something from those people. Link to post Share on other sites
chitaper Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 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... Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_H_2 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites

mardog Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 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? thanks Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Can't Stand It!!1!!! 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.

auria Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 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 Link to post Share on other sites

gewwang Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Bubs101 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 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 Link to post Share on other sites

meebs Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 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!! Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wilcoworld's presale is only through musictoday. The ticketmaster presale is a WXRT presale, so if you need a password, it'll come from WXRT. Link to post Share on other sites
