got mine

2/13/2006 12:12:07 PM

it's cool to be able to pick out your seat and all, but when the ticket selector drops you every time you try to check out it kindof sucks.

2/13/2006 12:16:42 PM

wow 36 for franz ferdinand and death cab. talk about not worth it. oh for the good ol' days of two years ago or more when you could see these bands for ~$15.

2/13/2006 12:19:48 PM

Logged on right @ 10am this morning and WOW the servers weren't prepared for that. Took tons of loading time, and right about 10:52am they must have just dropped everyone because suddenly my cart was empty again and things moved smooth as silk.

I was able to grab 2 aisle seats on Row B of an onlooking section, and even though I wasn't quite quick enough for Row A, I'm satisfied.

By ordering through Duke's site you get to choose your seat from those remaining (VERY cool!) and it worked great for me once the servers were refreshed. And you get them for $30/each by being a non-Duke student. Total for 2 was ~$67 w/ the gay fees. Still cheaper than TicketMaster would've been with their terrible fees.

Yes, the price is a bit steep, but here's how I see it. I paid ~$23 to see Franz last year @ Cat's Cradle. I paid ~$20 (maybe more, can't remember exactly) to see DCFC last year @ Cat's Cradle. So now I see them both in one night for ~$33 and I only spend one trip driving. Not too bad if you look at it that way, and you must admit these guys have found a share of the MTV crowd (which hiked prices), like it or not.

^good post

I got row I of an onlooking

its a bitch having to get two seats together, if you were going alone, there's some kickass seats available

as an aside, fuck the duke kids, who snatched up all the floor tickets

2/13/2006 1:00:48 PM

"In related news, UNC-CH gets Wilco on March 5 and 6. If N.C. State is lucky, maybe they can get Crossfade for a return performance. SHABOY."

DCFC just played "Crooked Teeth" live on SNL

man i'm pumped for this show

4/2/2006 12:54:52 AM

are you sure that was live?

i thought they just played on SNL like 2 months ago

4/2/2006 3:04:08 AM

no idea if it was live, I just assumed it was

4/2/2006 3:07:25 AM

bttt

4/6/2006 10:53:29 PM

i saw them last year in manchester.

good but nothing special.

4/6/2006 10:58:00 PM

Wow, I defintely paid like $35 for third row center seats at the Blink 182/Green Day Pop Disaster Tour a few years ago at Alltel (obviously only caring about Green Day). That's crazy expensive, especially for Cameron where the acoustics are shitty. Be prepared to roast your butts off, because if they turn on the AC you can't hear anything. Even four years ago when Sum 41 was cool (yes, 9th grade...), their tickets were only $15 at The Ritz/Disco Rodeo, and Incubus played there and tickets were $18ish I think.

Should be fun though. Enjoy! I'll have to suffer through all the traffic.

4/7/2006 12:54:20 AM

it's inflation. blame alan greenspan.


damn, what's with the show starting at seven freaking o'clock?

4/7/2006 9:07:32 AM

I know, right? there has to be another band playing because seven is just too fucking early. I don't even get off of work until 5:30 and by the time I get home and change, it'll be 6:15, and then I have to drive all the way to durham from raleigh. fuck that shit

4/7/2006 9:43:14 AM

the cribs are opening.

and yeah, i was planning on going out to dinner before the show. but apparently that will mean eating dinner at five.

4/7/2006 9:59:31 AM

ah, the cribs, that's right. I have that cd. not bad, but if you've heard the strokes and the libertines then you aren't missing anything

4/7/2006 10:28:14 AM

if we leave raleigh @ 745 will we be screwed as far as parking? or does duke have a lot of visitor parking around cameron? i've been there a couple of times, but i just can't remember.

4/7/2006 4:49:58 PM

no clue, I'll be getting there probably around 7:30, so I'm hoping it'll be easier to park, as the concert will have already started

4/7/2006 4:54:32 PM

the only band gayer than "Franz Ferdinand" is "Death Cab for Cutie"



who wants to sit around and listen to some grown men whine on a fucking cd?

4/7/2006 7:19:33 PM

^AGREED

4/7/2006 7:26:35 PM

have you actually listened to the music?

there's no 'whining'

4/7/2006 11:28:43 PM

^^^ummm it's not dashboard confessional, you've probably never even heard a whole song of death cab you ignoramus.


just got back from the show, me and 2 of my buddies got our hands on some 'event staff' shirts and got to meet and get pictures w/ the lead singer, bassist, and drummer of death cab, then we carried bags of ice onto franz ferdinand's tour bus and met all of them.

4/8/2006 12:01:36 AM

Worst sound of any concert I have been to by far.

4/8/2006 12:12:03 AM

yeah, the sound was horrible and they didn't serve any beer! i never knew how hard it was to watch a concert without having at least ONE beer

4/8/2006 12:29:07 AM

yeah, the harmonics in that place were terrible, but it was still a good show

the show at disco rodeo a few months ago sounded 10 times better

4/8/2006 12:37:56 AM

First time on Duke's campus...pretty nice

I parked on the side of the street near the Chemistry lot since it was after 5pm, screw paying $5 to park

"The Cribs" were about the worst opening band I've ever seen. First song was so-so, the rest was complete garbage...the acoustics didn't help.

Franz and DCFC were stellar (save for the crappy acoustics in the building). Very entertaining The sound in there was just bad...that bugged me all night. And seriously, that gym is a dump. Basically the #1 team in the world plays in THERE? What in the world? It's so old school it's embarrasing.
