I don't know how long to sit here refreshing.

I was lucky enough to be working from home today, don't have to worry about doing this surreptitiously, but I wonder the same thing.

lesh Would you be kind enough to post if they do list it? Thanks.

Boston still not up.

Are all the presale GA? I want GA anyway but I know there are seats at the Tabernacle but there's no seat option there.

Four for the 13th in New York!! This'll be fourth year in a row. 2006 - Nokia with a friend. 2007 - Congress in Chicago with my brother. 2008 - Riviera in Chicago with my brother. 2009 Roseland with my brother and our wives. It's gonna be an expensive weekend...

First Avenue in Mpls would be ideal for two nights, or you could sell out a week straight if you wanted to ..

Boston's listed now.

Thanks lesh, got four, need to get four more.

I am in for Boston, 3rd year in a row.

Good luck everyone!

DZM Any update on the Boston pre-sale? Tickets are now on sale. Boston not listed.

I'm afraid I'm just a conduit and not at all involved in all those behind-the-scenes machinations. I have no idea why Boston isn't listed, or if/when it will be.

Thanks DzM, not looking for blame, just some straightforward answer. If the whole purpose of a pre-sale is to reward the most loyal fans, the Boston pre-sale
should be rescheduled. I realize the you (or Mr. Chevron or Mr. Stacy) aren't responsible for this, but maybe our pleas won't go unheard if sent through you.

Blame? You talk all crazy. Just wanted to make sure you know that I'm very much on the periphery of this and can rarely have a positive (or a negative) effect on the whens/whats/wheres.

That aside, I've just heard from the promoter that the Boston pre-sale will "be up shortly" (that email was written ten minutes ago, so now we're even ten minutes closer to "shortly").

Keep hitting Reload.

Damn. Looks like I was eight minutes too long in passing along the "Keep Hitting Reload" advice.

Got Boston tix (yay - it's not a weeknight show!) Would still love to see a show again at the Orpheum, there's just something funky and special about that place.

can't believe the ticket price/service charge rose almost 8-10 dollars from last time. i think i'm gonna have to wait awhile to get tickets, i can't afford that right now..

It's the exact same price as last year ($62.50 after svc. charges) for the DC shows.

Yeah not for NYC. NYC shows are now 59 bucks as oppose to 55 bucks. last year service charge was 7, this year its 9.20. I'm not sure if Ticketbastard is cheaper or more money. I don't know how everyone can afford multiple shows, cities all the time. I can't even afford one show lol.

In for the 13th, and all is well.

I save my allowance. I only see about 1 show a year. Last year was tough, I had to choose between the Pogues and Carbon/Silicon.
