how do you get presale passwords? lurk around the artist/fan site message boards until someone mentions it?

2/1/2010 12:30:50 PM

I have ticketmaster e-mail me whenever Ben Folds posts tour dates in NC.

They e-mailed me about the concert and then sent another e-mail w/ the presale password.

2/1/2010 12:34:31 PM

hmm

did you have to select them as an artist of interest or something on the TM site?

I get the emails every week to alert me when tickets are about to go on sale...but they're not artist specific? Do I need to customize my account or something?



I'm thinking theres gonna be a cluster of TWW people around rows L,M,N

2/1/2010 12:44:41 PM

You can sign into your Ticketmaster account and click on "My Performers" and add Ben Folds.

2/1/2010 4:31:51 PM

got my tickets in the mail a couple weeks ago

3/3/2010 8:36:49 AM

he's playing with the NC symphony. should be pretty awesome.

3/3/2010 8:43:50 AM

is robert sledge in the nc symphony now

because if he's not, there's no way it can be awesome

3/3/2010 10:52:06 AM

ben folds tix always sell out soooo fast in the area. i wish he'd come around more often. I think its going to be a cool show for the ben folds lovers out there that appreciate his music, but for those that are occasional listeners and are expecting the rock sound with the band, there may be some disappointment in the show. i personally think its going to be amazing and wish i was going!

3/3/2010 11:21:26 AM

i just noticed that this is the same night as joanna newsom

every hipster bar in town raleigh/durham going to be empty until midnight

McDanger played electric bass in our high school marching band, so why not?

3/3/2010 1:53:07 PM

when was the last time Ben Folds put out something good? 1999?

3/3/2010 2:13:53 PM

those EP's he put out a couple of years ago weren't that bad

3/3/2010 2:22:55 PM

i liked his first two solo albums... both had different feels. the eps were hit and miss. way to normal was gross though

i'm excited for the concert -- wanted to hear him like this ever since hearing the WASO concert a few years ago

3/3/2010 3:20:12 PM

3/21/2010 9:42:01 PM

^that was fucking EPIC.


sold out if anyone has an extra ticket, i'll do anything for it

3/21/2010 9:48:55 PM

Ditto... let me know if there are any available tix out there, plz

3/22/2010 2:48:08 AM

so so so excited!

3/24/2010 5:16:20 PM

likewise

3/24/2010 5:20:22 PM

if you guys want to see someone who isn't infinitely inferior without robert sledge, i've got an extra front row seat for joanna newsom

3/24/2010 5:37:22 PM

front row seats still available!? she must be AMAZING!

3/24/2010 5:55:31 PM

Haha. Sledge has really been tearing it up since his Folds Five days. Does he alternate weekends with you at Jackpot?

3/24/2010 5:56:10 PM

even though i liked him a lot in high school, i'm really not sure now if Ben Folds was ever that good

shit is so corny

3/24/2010 5:57:20 PM

corny? really!?

3/24/2010 5:58:28 PM

i love all three bf5 records

but there is some really corny shit on there

and he's gotten worse as time has gone on

let's be real

and all joking aside, JN is sold out just like BF is

3/24/2010 7:45:55 PM

Raleigh Symphony Orchestra is opening for Ben Folds (and then playing w/ him)

Special event parking is $7.

fyi.

are corny and good mutually exclusive? you could also apply the same question to another food-based description, cheesy. i think there's a certain strain of cheese and corn that's a-okay and even better than some stuff that's overwhelmingly "cool."

3/25/2010 12:03:31 PM

Ben Folds has turned into an adult contemporary machine, and no amount of Youtube stunts will revert him to his former glory.

3/25/2010 2:00:58 PM

^ nailed it

3/25/2010 2:01:34 PM

Seriously you're still trolling this thread? Have fun at the Newsom show, she's pretty damn good.

3/25/2010 2:03:14 PM

i'm not trolling

i love bf5, and absolutely hate 95% of his solo output

btw, i forgot that the xx are playing in carrboro tonight as well

seriously, hargett street is going to be completely deserted until midnight

Fortunately, I am a contemporary adult. Sort of.

3/25/2010 2:34:55 PM

didn't end w/Last Polka or Jackson Cannery?? No throwing his seat @ the piano? and try as I might, no "Rock This Bitch"

still, hell of a show!!

3/25/2010 11:39:53 PM

haha my friend texted me in the middle of the show: "this shit is epic."

it was, and i REALLY enjoyed the show. happy he played at least a couple of solo songs at the end.

3/26/2010 12:30:26 AM

I really enjoyed the show.

Very weird mix of people. Ben Folds fan mixed w/ symphony season ticket holders Maybe Ben Folds got a few new fans from that show

3/26/2010 8:30:07 AM

hahaha i dunno -- my friend said that the old lady beside him left in the middle of rocking the suburbs

also, the person in row J/K that was recording with his iphone.. i saw you. share.
