Me too! I'll be by myself the 5th as far as I know, so someone meet up w/ me. Hit me up.

The customer service guy said that tickets will be available to pick up starting at 7pm. But I'm sure most of you will be standing in line well before that.

5/22/2007 6:16:09 AM

I thought the doors don't open until 8, and once you get your tickets you have to go straight in.

5/22/2007 7:08:50 AM

Just passing on what the Ticketmaster people told me.

5/22/2007 7:34:56 AM

shit, i missed this... i take it that it's sold out now?

5/22/2007 7:57:46 AM

Every date sold out in the first 5 minutes.

""North Carolina residents: North Carolina state law limits the resale ticket price for this event location, so your maximum bid cannot exceed $2204.00. See eBay's ticket policy." not sure why it's so much higher there. i mean even with it being 2 tix, you'd think it'd just double "

eBay lets you manually type in a face value. So if he puts $2,000, and lives in NC, it'll say $2,003. Magic.

Has anyone written eBay customer service to get those auctions pulled?

If you have an eBay account please help report the auctions so they get pulled. Too many people are going to miss the shows because of ticket brokering.

still high off this

5/22/2007 9:27:07 AM

I'm sad. I want to go.

5/22/2007 9:34:00 AM

i think they sold out faster than 5 minutes...it was really within 60 seconds everything was gone

5/22/2007 9:38:32 AM

yeah some dates sold out in less than a minute, I'd say. I got to the ticket screen as soon as humanly possible for the 30th and it was sold out by the time I entered the verification word

5/22/2007 10:14:19 AM

june 23, june 24, july 3.

5/22/2007 10:37:11 AM

some friends and i played it safe and made our first choice the 26th. we didn't want to run into any problems and it worked out better for me to drive over that night.

the last time i was at the orange peel was a little over a year ago. we were in asheville and ghostface happened to be playing that night. we figured why not. while i was watching the show some guys get into a fight and someone ended up getting stabbed. the best part was the music never stopped and all the people up on stage just watched along with everyone else without missing a beat.

i'm thinking that wont happen with the pumpkins...but you never know

5/22/2007 10:52:54 AM

^^or how about you see them 2x and i get to see them 1x and i buy the June 23rd ticket for a good amount? heh

oh and PS, im dead serious, i have a friend from Texas flying in to stay with me and im going to have to drive him to the show from my apt in greenville, SC whether im going or not, its gonna suck having to do that since i didnt get a ticket (yes we were both supposed to be trying to get 2 dont ask he screwed up big time )

[Edited on May 22, 2007 at 12:21 PM. Reason : ]

5/22/2007 12:12:47 PM

its a 4 hour drive from raleigh, 1 hour and 20 mins from greenville sc

5/22/2007 12:31:53 PM

yes i know that, what about it

5/22/2007 12:33:38 PM

i didn't know asheville was that far away from raleigh, but whatever i'd drive even longer to see this show

5/22/2007 12:38:21 PM

oh cmon, 3.5 hours from raleigh. 3.6 tops. I drove from home in asheville to raleigh constantly in school.

5/22/2007 2:04:02 PM

i think people are interpreting my post wrong or something

Im moving from Raleigh to Greenville in like 2 weeks, thus I will be there during the time of the show. I have a friend who got *1* ticket who will be in town from Texas staying at my place. I was saying its going to suck driving him to see the show on the 23rd when I can't go in with him and probably end up waiting around for the show to be over up there. I didn't mean the actual drive itself heh.

5/22/2007 2:07:16 PM

the last Smashing Pumpkins show i saw was years ago at the Dean Smith Center and it was one of the worst concerts i have ever seen

Garbage opened up and they had a much better set. I dont know if every SP show is just 2 hours of Billy Corgan just screaming to the point where you cant make out the lyrics ... just the song
if so, then missing this show will not be bad at all

5/22/2007 2:29:25 PM

Everyone I've ever heard talk about ^that show says it was horrible, but I was there and I didn't think it was that bad. I do remember Garbage sucking ass, but the Pumpkins weren't that bad IMO.

5/22/2007 8:26:53 PM

that song seems kind of lame.

5/22/2007 8:35:49 PM

I actually like that song quite a bit

some of these youtube videos are rather awful

hahahaha, "You're in the jungle, baby!"

this one is of good quality, if short: http://youtube.com/watch?v=12o5GDwF3Hk

The variation on the BWBW riff they used all through '98 was so much better than the original.

Meh.

this one would have been decent if that dumb cunt would have shut up

5/23/2007 2:56:35 PM

just to clarify...billy and jimmy were Zwan...and it appears they are the only ones from the original pumpkins on this tour correct?


btw, i thought Mary Star of the Sea was a fantastic record

5/23/2007 3:10:29 PM

Yeah they were Zwan, but they were not playing SP songs. I think even Billy has admitted to not being happy with that album.

5/23/2007 3:46:17 PM

I don't suppose anyone would trade a ticket for June 29th with my ticket for July 5th, would they? My friend has the 5th ticket, and I'd love to go with him to the 29th show. A longshot I know...

5/23/2007 3:58:28 PM

man that bitch from the today live video sounds retarded or something, and yea it sounds awesome beneath her howling

i'm actually getting excited about this new album hearing some of these new songs, not too impressed with tarantula but i like the ending section of the song

5/23/2007 4:21:49 PM

this is freaking me out

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AbSoeB-pgHo

but in a cute way

5/23/2007 4:28:18 PM

I hope to God they play this song on July 3rd

"NOTE ON SMASHING PUMPKINS We have emailed and talked to hundreds of Peel regulars - some ecstatic to be seeing the Smashing Pumpkins at 'their' club and others totally depressed about being shut out of these shows. A lot of folks have been angry that more was not done to get tickets to locals. We did ask for a set-aside for our box office to give the people who keep the Peel afloat a better chance, but the Smashing Pumpkins management felt very strongly that the fairest system for all their fans was to sell all tickets online. The reality is that we're a small club in a small town in Western North Carolina - not exactly a tour manager's top choice. The reality is also that we have a great club, a great city and phenomenal fans. We want to do such an awesome job with these shows that other top acts will make Asheville the first stop they schedule!"

this was sent out in the Orange Peel newsletter I get

5/23/2007 6:19:22 PM

my uncle lives spitting distance from the orange peel. if anyone gives me a ticket, i'll get us a place to stay for free.

5/23/2007 7:03:06 PM

"United States" is now my most anticipated song on the album:

5/23/2007 7:57:47 PM

^ I much prefer "pretty" Smashing Pumpkins to "thrashy" Smashing Pumpkins... that's why I'm not more excited about the new album. If the above song is any indication, I have a feeling it's going to be much more of the latter.

[Edited on May 23, 2007 at 9:17 PM. Reason : eh]

5/23/2007 9:16:58 PM

that sounded very confusing until about 1:34, then it was really good

5/23/2007 11:39:49 PM

i'll be there on the 30th
