"SY - Thanks for buying a ticket" email
 

Thank you for supporting sonic youth with your ticket purchase and album preorder. We hope you are enjoying the bonus material.

As additional thank you, we have arranged a merch discount for you through the band's online store. You will receive a separate message with login instructions to access a special store with a limited number of items discounted especially for you. This offer will be available for one week only and will disappear next Thursday.

Click here for a bonus thank you: a stream of Sonic Youth performing 'Brave Men Run (In My Family)' at the Smart Bar in Chicago August 1985.

Stay tuned to sonicyouth.com for more information.


Anyone else get one?

yeeeh!

a very nice approach indeed.

Woooooohoooo! Anyone got access to these limited special offers yet?

I got 2 of those emails. One for buying a ticket. And for downloading "Sacred Trickster." Strangely, I did neither of those things.

That's Sonic Youtherrific!

Nope still nothing on the special offers and it's supposed to end next Thursday!

I'm guessing around the same time today email #2 will show.

Brave Men Run is HOT!

Yeah, I got one of those emails, but still no link to the 'store'.

sonic youth rule all.

last few records, geffen just game me the finger

just got the email for the preorder store. hmm.. not that much stuff. i'm not impressed. the eternal shirt looks cool but.. yea.

I didn't buy a ticket either, yet got the mail. I didn't get the link to the store though.

still no link for me... i was really hoping for a discount code for regular stuff so i can finally get some of those pricy box-sets

Yeah, I got that email too. I didn't buy a concert ticket though, just the album. It probably just goes out to anybody who bought a ticket, or ordered the album via Matador.

Sooo, you can't buy the Sensational Fix shirt separately without buying another copy of the cd??

krastian, did you get an email with the link yet?

I received that email yesterday I think. 'Twas really cool. My wife liked the mp3 download that it came with.

So it's genuine then? I took one look at it and figured that Matador or SY's server had been hacked and the fans targetted by spammers. I assumed I'd be downloading some particularly evil virus.

I wonder where my webstore link is.

yeah i got the first email and i'm still waiting for the store link.

perhaps the store link is just for those who actually bought tickets?

That would be unkind :(

I wish SY didn't send me a "Thank You" email. I would have preferred a guitar assault as a gesture of their gratitude!

its simply an automated message. many many online places do it!

sorry. its really steve and thurston on staring a pc and typing it out whenever they get an email.. they just sit there and rub their hands with glee when the bing bong sound arrives!!!!

OK now I'm wondering what the deal is on that special store. STILL NO EMAIL with special login instructions. If somebody has accessed it, can you at least tell us what's in there? I bought a ticket and the preorder and everything and I'm still waiting. This is ridiculous.

That worked! Thanks for the link. Sensational Fix tee is pretty cool but otherwise nothing to stress about.

Yeh, a bit like being bounced at your friend's party.

ha ha, sarram, that's just priceless: "welcome to the SECRET SONC YOUTH STORE". MI6 agent for life.

wow @ Tyfus tee. buaah @ my empty wallet.

The Sunburst and Silver Books ones were at BAM... I passed then (still passing now) - don't love the Eternal one and wish the Tyfus was on another colour. *sigh*

Oh well - thanks for the links (those above) - I never got my follow-up either... appreciate it!

Sensational Fix shirt requires buying the album again :(

seems like they would have had an option for those of us that preordered the album.

Also limited size option but all hipster shirts are like that. Fatties can't be hipsters :(

I have to re-buy the album if I want a Sensational Fix shirt? What a load of utter wank.

Now I wish I ordered the lp+live lp, so I could byu the tyfus + cd bundle.
Oh well.
Empty wallet rules my life lately, so no big deal. No deal at all, actually.

Will these Shirts go on the normal store anyway? I want these eternal shirts! Why didn't I get a code to access? :(

Ok, now I get on the site, but can I only order when I have this code or can I order just without the 20% off?
Please help me :)

Still waiting for the super-secret-store-access-codes.

So, will those Tyfus t-shirts ever become available to the unwashed masses, do you think?
