Editorial soapbox:
It’s a bit disheartening to see Arcade Fire participate in the usual alliance with a credit card company which, intended or not, does grant preferential treatment to their fans with privileged means. (Yes, I know they also conducted a small ticket pre-sale via their own website that has since sold out.) If ever a band was in a position to be able to conduct business in newer, better, fairer ways, it has to be them. Come on, guys. Us kids know.

You know, Arcade Fire doesn’t pick how tickets to their shows are sold. That is up to companies like ticket master, american express and others who just want to make money off of this band’s jump to extreme popularity. I’m pretty sure if it was their choice they’d want everyone to have a fair shot at getting tickets and to also probably sell them for about 40 dollars less.
Gonna skip this one for sure. Not interested in this kind of music, and I hope such bands will fade away soon. What do I have against them? – the name
