theashtraysays Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Yo la Tengo (pt 2) And last night’s James and Ira drag show was pretty awesome. Ira’s blue eye shadow totally clashed with the red dress and orange scarf, but hey who am I to judge? Accessories were tasteful tho. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuckrh Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 After hassling for a whole day I got my Cure tickets for Seattle. Word is they are nuking tickets on StubHub etc & those tickets are now popping up again. Got seats right by the stage, a bit up with no one in front of me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got a mediocre but satisfactory ticket for MSG after being waitlisted for the first half hour of the presale. I wouldn’t have gone for the next price up anyway, as my total budget was $150 max. The ticket price was reasonable. Fees were not, and bumped it up 30%. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parking is a problem at the venue so I got a spot. I got out of it for a little over $200 with everything included for the pair. I was due for some good luck. Still due but at least I don't have to worry about that. Funny, a lot of the bands I really like are fan friendly like that. I spent more for Springsteen for crappy seats. At least I got upgraded for free at that show because of ADA issues. I don't see a lot of shows this summer that I'm up for. Over the summer I've got the Cure, Flaming Lips & Buddy Guy. I'm sure something else will pop up but I'm not doing nostalgia shows anymore for the most part. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure something else will pop up but I'm not doing nostalgia shows anymore for the most part. My face value was $85 for second row of the upper section, about 2/3 of the way back from the stage. Total was $110 after fees. I’ve never seen the Cure before, so this is like a bucket list thing for me and I’m really looking forward to it! Edit: And now Robert Smith says we’ll all be getting a $5 refund ($10 for those who bought lowest price tickets) because he convinced Ticketmaster the fees were too high. What a guy! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They did play every song off their new album but I think their new album is pretty solid, and then they played a ton of their hits and classics. For what it's worth the crowd was very into it and everyone seemed happy when they left. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 A day late but went to the sold out New Order show in NOLA last night. Definitely a bucket list concert for me. Wish Peter Hook had been with them but it was still a fantastic evening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
