POGUES - North America, March 2009

[Antoine]

Hi guys !

I'm not totally sure to have understand about those Montreal gigs...
Are they finally cancelled or... ? Do you have any good sources about it ? If so, could you post them please ?

Damn, what a pity The Pogues aren't coming around here... When I heard that they may come, I jumped but now, if these dates are cancelled, I'm really desapointed...

Anyway,
Thanks a lot for informing me !

Sorry, but for the moment, the Montreal and Toronto shows are canceled. We can only apologize that the dates were released in the first place, as it has become clear now that those shows were never contractually agreed by both sides in a manner that made economic sense. We do genuinely hope there will be a better opportunity to play in Canada in the future.

Does anyone know if there is a box office for the new House of Blues. Id rather buy them in person and save most of the fees. Thanks.

Given that the venue is not yet In Business, though, I don't know when the box office will actually become "live."

Yea, I found an 800 # for them but it just gives me a recording that says their voicemail isn't set up yet.

I noticed today in the Ticketmaster email I received that the DKMs are playing the weekend before, so I take that as a good sign the venue will be ready.

Just got my tickets for Boston on the 21st

I was shocked, because I checked Friday night (they went on sale at 12PM on the 21st) and there were none available on Ticketmaster. More released I assume?

Ticketmaster works in mysterious ways and ours is not to reason why. The best bit is when they send you the email asking you to grade your experience with them and wondering how they might improve their service to you.

Could be that I'm reading your message wrong, but I see nothing shocking here. Tickets (other than the pre-sale from last month) were not available until Sat, Dec 20 at 12:00pm EST. There were none available Friday night because, you know, they weren't on sale yet.

Anyway - Enjoy the show!

Am I the only one who was able to purchase tickets off Live Nation yesterday at 11:40 am, 20 minutes before the official onsale time? I had checked TM and they weren't onsale yet so I checked Live Nation and I was able to purchase 4 GA's. Really looking forward to attending a GA show again. Having to stand "relatively" still in your seat at the Orpheum just isn't the right way to view a Pogues show.

I got onto the site and saw Pogues in North American tour and immediately got excited as all hell. Unfortunately I am on the west coast. If I could get out to the east, believe me I would.

I'm a new member & just wanted to say hi to everyone on the Medusa, and see if anyone had (or knew where to get) tix for Boston in March. I missed the presale & was witing to hear info about the old house of blues in cambridge & the new one (still under construction) in boston proper.
Go raibh maith agat.
