Title: Should I drop a couple hundred to see Flight of the Conchords this April?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 02, 2009, 08:01:17 PM
I'm not sure how these crazy tickets work, but Ticketmaster did a pre-sale and it's impossible to get more than one ticket (and I need another one).  StubHub and similar sites are offering tickets for around a $100 a piece.  Should I take the plunge or try Ticketmaster again when the tickets officially go on sale?

I'd be like up and across.

But - no - I need two tickets for their Washington D.C. date.  I guess I might have to bite the bullet.  I was wondering if you guys know if maybe more seats will open up once the pre-sale is done.

Well, half of that is my ticket and I'd also like to see New Zealand's fourth most popular folk comedy duo!

Because you live in Portland, some dumb city nobody cares about and I live in Washington D.C., the capital of the FREE WORLD.

Wilco did you mention you were Jewish before asking the price?   Someone is after your gold.

Granted that's like an on-campus concert, so that might have something to do with it.

Listen, I know shows in Bumfuck, America are cheaper than concerts located in major metropolitan areas - thanks for sharing!

I need tips on how to get the best bang for my buck.

They go on sale for realz on the 6th.  I'd wait, unless you really need those floor seats.

I don't.  I'm just trying to look for affordable tickets for two.  I can't even buy those off of Ticketmaster.  My initial train of thought is wait 'till the tickets go on sale, officially, and pray Ticketmaster has held back a large allocation for general purchase.

Just don't wait very long to get them and you should be fine.

Detroit is basically the shit hole of America.

And - yes! - to purchase a single ticket from Ticketmaster is $38, but I NEED TWO.

ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR A GUEST.
