Fiona Apple – Largo- tomorrow night 5/16/07. table reservations booked. seats avail at bar on first come first serve basis. cover varies 10-20 bucks.
She Wants Revenge with Louis XIV? Wow, that would be the worst concert ever.
Bort,
Great call, lol!
How can they have the audacity to charge admission?
(Although I may stop by just to bait a few scalpers before laughing maniacally at them and driving home. Revenge. Costly with today’s gas prices, but fun.)
dan deacon and girl talk on 9/28 at the explx.
If anyone cares and if anyone is actually ROLLING the way I wish I was, $150 dollar (After tickemtaster fees) garden box hollywood bowl Morrissey tickets are popping up on TM right now. Thats all.
Damn.
Does anyone know of the Hollywood Bowl’s got an exchange/upgrade policy? It’ll be a bitch to sell my terrace seats.
Thanks, a. I care.
I’m damning, too. Pulling up good seats this morning and the ones I already bought are pathetic. Whatever. Pretty sure I can launch my gladiolas from the back and they will still make it to the stage.
jenn – Haven’t looked into it myself, but see if this resale actually works:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/ticketexchange/selling/
ryan — yeah, i saw that option as well, but have you seen the current listing for that show? it doesn’t look like anyone’s buying! (and with more/better seats released, who can blame them?)
Just go to the Bowl and buy them there. Skip the TM fees. They’re open till 6pm.
Sage advice. Nobody reading this drivel works!
LINKIN PARK (FOR REALS) hahahhahaha. playing HOB SUnset this friday. $7.50 a ticket.
You really mean INTERPOL, right Tommie? (WINK, WINK, NUDGE, NUDGE)
No, sadly he really means Linkin Park. I tried to buy my cousin tickets for her birthday but the website says $33-58. What the hell? Tommie where did you get $7.50 from?
nevermind im retarded. I was looking at the wrong event!!!
What is the significance of the $7.50 price? Are they actually charging what they know they are worth?
Actually, I do like one song of theirs–”Session”–but only because of how it was used at the end of a Sopranos ep.
$7.50 is the price if you go buy them at the box office. Check http://www.hob.com
I know I actually just took my cousin and her friend out there today so they can get their tickets! Now I have to take them to the show and find something to do till it’s over!
My best friends mom works there and I have an extra if anyone can’t get one tomorrow or just wants it. I won’t charge you!
Tina,
with much embarrassment and shame I sent you a PM.:-)
Simian Mobile Disco 9-22 @ Echoplex
Oh don’t be embarrassed. I got your email and I wrote you back!
tina, if you still have the ticket, i’d like to take it from you for my cousin. he’s a huge ‘interpol’ fan.
anyone know Linkin Park ticketmaster password? god, i’m embarrassed to ask for it…
why be embarrassed? i would go myself if i hadn’t already gotten a tik to harry connick jr @ the greek tonight.
anyway, i tried looking for it while searching linkin park fan forums and found this — didja know this HOB show is a TV taping for Jimmy Kimmel? so much for cheap! this could’ve been free!
That Ben Gibbard show last night was pretty great. I hope you were there losanjealous!
Ben Gibbard show was great! Good luck to anyone who tried to take photos. People were being told no photos allowed. I took a few (without flash) and a student usher promptly told me no cameras.
