getting my ticks tomorrow
i remember when i used to sneak inside and walk around and in that pool when it was dangerous and totally abandoned in the 90's.
i imagined it would be cool if they held shows there, never would've thought it'd actually happen though. and now sonic youth's gonna play DN there.
crazy. can't wait for this show.

[drrrtyboots]

I don't think tickets will sell out instantly either, the pool can hold like 4,000 people for shows I think.

I've had my ticket for the Greek Theatre for about two weeks now, and July is still two months away!

:-( i hate my fucking life.

I feel your pain.
Im going to be in NYC the week before that, and I already bought my plane tickets too... but I bought cancelation insurance also, so we'll see if I can convince everyone to cancel for SY.

Shit, not doable for me, parents said no.
PLEASE announce a Toronto date!

I hope so, but I doubt they will play Toronto.

OK i was wrong initially, tickets go on sale at noon less then an hour from now

[Georgekrz]

this will be probably the last year of shows there, pool is being renovated and will go back to being a POOL, it was in the news last week. too bad i think, who the hell goes to a public pool?

as far as this youre right it probably will not sell out right away but Im not taking any chances.

also - if they add a show, it will probably be on the friday the 27, i think sundays they have already set aside for those free shows. i might be wrong though.

[neptuneg]

if they add a second show, i'm totally going to that too. haha

[pep]

Does anybody know what's going on? I went to livenation at noon EST and their message changed from "on sale 5/4 12pm EST" to "more info coming soon". The same thing happened for the Cat Power/BTS show at McCarren.

[Georgekrz]

yep, not working.

this is when all the scalpers get their tickets?

[uckfay]

this is killing me, i just want to get my goddamn tickets

[Georgekrz]

well this is killing me cause i might have to leave in 15 minutes. wtf, very bad job.

If you're in nyc on july 7, go see the boredoms insane 77 drumset performance.
