solace Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 SUFJAN TO TOUR WITH CRYPTACIZE IN FALL One of our favorite things around here is seeing our artists meander around the country spreading great music, so you can imagine our giddiness when two of our artists decided to pal up and tagteam an east-of-Lake-Minnentonka tour. The team? Sufjan Stevens and Cryptacize. Click more to read details. We wanted to make this as equitable for all of the fans so there are a few things to read carefully here. Due to the sizes of the venues, tickets will be limited. With that in mind, we wanted to avoid ticket scalpers and ensure that as many fans as possible could attend these shows. Tickets must be picked up at will-call the night of the show (not mailed), tickets are non-transferable and purchaser must present a government-issued photo ID. Also, there is a two ticket limit per purchaser. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Tickets go on sale Friday the 14th. We'll post the purchase links on Thursday, but the venues will be handling the purchasing and will turn those on when they can (we have no control over what time Friday they turn the links "on"). Here's where Sufjan and Cryptacize will be, and when: 09-21: Philadelphia, PA - Johnny Brenda's 09-22: Philadelphia, PA - Johnny Brenda's 09-23: Ithaca, NY - Castaways 09-24: Cleveland, OH - Beachland Ballroom 09-25: Pontiac, MI - The Pike Room 09-26: Champaign, IL - The High Dive 09-27: Minneapolis, MN - 400 Bar 09-28: Madison, WI - The Majestic 09-29: Bloomington, IN - Buskirk Chumley 10-01: Toronto, ON - Lee's Place 10-02: Montreal, QC - Cabaret 10-03: Portland, ME - Port City Music Hall 10-04: New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom 10-05: New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom 10-06: Brooklyn, NY - Hall at Williamsburg 10-07: Brooklyn, NY - Hall at Williamsburg Coincidentally, Sufjan also has a film and corresponding soundtrack about the BQE to be released in October as well. Although this tour has nothing to do with that, you can view the trailer for The BQE here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 daaaaaang. these shows all sold out crazy fast. Mpls took 3 or 4 minutes (thankfully i got a pair) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 daaaaaang. these shows all sold out crazy fast. Mpls took 3 or 4 minutes (thankfully i got a pair) The etix and Asthmatic Kitty sites were running mind-numbingly slow at 9am CDT. It took me until 9:08 or something but I still came away with two for Madison. I've never been in the Majestic before, but the pictures on its website look phenomenal. I feel very lucky because the last time I wanted to see Sufjan, he played in Milwaukee two weeks after I moved away for college, but tickets STILL sold out in an hour or so and I missed out. Those tickets were something around $50 when all was said and done; for this tour, I paid $19.50! This has the potential to be quite an experience. Kyle (I have a feeling you would know better than anyone) is this tour just the man and a guitar/piano/banjo? Or will there be a band? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It's a shame they're all sold out, I really want to see Cryptacize. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duzer Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I am stoked to get a ticket for Toronto. Now I just need to figure out how to get someone to pay my airfare from SoCal. Most of these venues look like they hold only a couple of hundred folks at most. Should be most excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okp greg Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Okay, I'm gonna throw it out there. I didn't expect Sufjan to get all 50 state albums done, but isn't anyone else disappointed that he seems to have stopped after only 2?!?! Should be a good show though. I saw him in the Illinois tour back in the day and they were entertaining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ithaca sold out before I even knew it was on sale If anybody happens to have an extra, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
