July 4th ? - Page 2

I suspect all these hoops we have to go through to get them will weed people out...it used to be so much easier you just hired a bum to stand on line for you to get the free tickets...

and i feel bad for everyone that doesn't live in the area as it is a pain in the butt to get the tix. I'm just lucky that it's a short train ride.

Think of me and my empty pockets and the polluted environment when you're on the train with tickets in hand

I got 8 tickets. It's gonna be AWESOME.

Green Magnesium · 06.12.2008, 05:02 PM

No wonder the thing "sold" out so damn quickly... everyone on this board got like 3 pairs of tickets.

At least this way maybe the show will be full of respectful and respectable fans instead of a bunch of yahoos who will talk about their weekend plans through the whole thing.

As of now, I have 7 friends who want to come. But if anyone bails, I'll let y'all now and give away the ticket.

The stressful thing was that the website was such shit and I had to keep refreshing, but I was at school, where we're only supposed to use the computers for academic reasons...

lomeu · 06.14.2008, 12:53 AM

hello everyone....
please let me know if there's any ticket that you guys may want to give away...brazilian fan here who will happen to be in nyc from july, 3rd to july 10th
thanks

Can u believe that July 4th tickets are going for about $200 a piece on ebay? I dont think they go for that much for their other shows. Anyone know why so much? I know it's in NYC but you people think they will play new material?

RanaldoNecro · 06.18.2008, 07:50 PM

I'm coming from out of town as well. If anyone has an etra they want to mail me that would be great....

neptuneg · 06.18.2008, 10:55 PM

The show is supposed to start at 3:30, but it says 7:00 on their myspace. Anyone have any insight?

drrrtyboots · 06.18.2008, 11:11 PM

I think when you post shows on myspace the time defaults at like 7 or 8pm unless you specify so whoever posted the show just probably didnt bother to change it. Show is definitely set to start at 3:30 as of now.

Green Magnesium · 06.18.2008, 11:29 PM

I'm guessing Feelies are starting at 3:30 and the Youth will begin at a later time.

Since this isn't a tour i would expect something other than the 'average' show. Since they are mainly working on the new album (which is why they aren't touring) I would expect new material at the show.

reginald · 06.19.2008, 07:45 AM

It's been 2 years since they've had new material. They're totally due to debut new music. What better place than their hometown. Good luck to you guys going. I just saw them in Nashville and they did nothing new.

But still a fun show !

when my friend used to follow the Dead in the 80's he told me there were 2 kinds of fans: people like him who sold acid or burritos to get from show to show and generally camped out somehow, and the other were people who flew from show to show and stayed in fine hotels and did lots of cocaine. I have to assume there are a couple SY super fans somewhere with the resources to pay whatever it takes to get a ticket.

If someone was gonna offer me $400 for my tickets I think I'd have to take it.

RanaldoNecro · 06.19.2008, 10:58 AM

Its kinda in bad taste to scalp considering the show is free. Espcially on the forum where obviously people are devoted fans...

Green Magnesium · 06.19.2008, 02:19 PM

I know! I find it disgusting actually; to sell something that was free to some for prices in the hundreds. I had mentioned this to my boyfriend... and he gave me the good old "it's capitalism" speech. I'm not saying that I argue with the fundamentals of capitalism... but at the same time, I don't have to agree with every example of it.

if someone were willing to give me one hundred for it i would sell them. i wouldn't scalp them but if some random dude came off the street and asked me i would.

reginald · 06.19.2008, 07:07 PM

Thing is if you scalped someone I dont think they'd be able to go to the show. So if you needed a hairpiece, go ahead scalp someone and see the show too !

Triumphrant all around !
