Lollapalooza tickets are sold out?!?! Dafuck? The line-up was only officially released Monday?

Last time I went in 2007 with Kanye, RHCP and Death Cab for Cutie as headliners (with line-up being released in February :x ) I picked up 3-day passes in June.

Scalpers?

they're going with some non-removable type wristband thing...i'd be extremely extremely cautious of scalpers
a few years ago i got tickets to Paul Simon at the Vic and they made you show your ID at the door to prevent scalpers, i believe (not totally sure) that this is a similar thing, where if Joe Blow buys the wristbands they're issued to Joe Blow only . but like i said not 100% sure, but that's the impression i got from reading the ticket FAQ

I just don't get the set-up to Lolla anymore. To go it seems you now have to buy tickets early regardless of line up since they release so late now. And if you think the total line up is shitty (I don't like this year's) you can't sell the tix?

i agree, but it seems to be what is becoming the norm. Although i'm pretty sure Pitchfork still has tickets available, they sold out of early bird 3 day passes without even announcing a lineup . its kinda crazy

Really? That thing sold out in like 4 minutes.

I have Pearl Jam Friday, Phish on Saturday, and I'll probably sleep all of Sunday.

The wife and I both tried at work, and we both got through. The site pretty much crashed immediately though, so I don't know how I got lucky I would've bought 4 tickets, but they said they would cancel any order with duplicate billing address (This actually happened to me with ticketmaster a few months back, bastards).

I really have a great streak of not getting shut out on these Lolla After-Shows.
I've seen Black Keys @ Metro twice
Arctic Monkeys @ House Of Blues
Them Crooked Vultures first performance ever @ Metro
Raveonettes @ Empty Bottle
and now QOTSA @ Metro.

My Lollapalooza aftershow streak continues. This one is more for the wife, but I tickets to The Postal Service @ Metro on 8/4. This was a tough one. I kept trying for about 10 minutes after repeatedly getting the "no tickets available" message, and finally some popped up. I guess someone in the queue cancelled at the last minute, or their CC declined.

Yeah, like I said, not entirely my thing. Their one album is decent, but this will probably make for a boring concert experience. It's like my wife's favorite album, and this will probably be her only chance to ever see them live, so I pulled the trigger on getting the tickets.

The show is 4 days after our anniversary, so I told her I didn't get the tickets, and I'm going to surprise her with them as an anniversary gift. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Probably going to Local H at the Metro on 9/7 and Arlington Heights on 10/11.

Really wish I could get to Riot Fest. The lineup is probably the best I have seen in a while.

October is shaping up to be a month of decisions for me. Three of my favorite bands are
coming through the area but I can't see all of them. I am also going to Florida for 4 days
that month so the money will be tight.

Blitzen Trapper Oct 8th Turner Hall - Milwaukee
The Head and The Heart Oct 25th Riviera - Chicago
City and Colour Oct 29th Pabst Theater - Milwaukee

Bought tickets to see Black Sabbath on 8/16 at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater.

I'm hoping they perform well.

Hot Chip tonight at Vic.
Got tickets coming up to Vintage Trouble, Those darlins, Old 97s and 3 days of Riot Fest.

Pitchfork was pretty good again this year. MIA puts on a hell of a show, but other bands were great too - Phosphorescent was a real stand out for me. And there was R Kelly - I saw two songs and headed away from that. Bad news is that I went to all 3 days with my wife so I missed out on the "making out with random chicks" part of the festival that seemed to be all the rage. :o

I've heard great reviews about this tour.


Going to see The Winery Dogs at Durty Nelly's on October 18th. Might be the best live band I've ever seen...
