I just hate buying tickets for huge shows that you know are going to sell out - it's so stressful! Especially over here when bands hardly ever visit and when they do there is only 3 shows for the entire of Australia.

I was buying the tickets for somebody else too, so I hope they're okay with seating tickets :S Especially since they were $130AU!

I've seen them GA and from seats. You'll be happy in the seats for a band like that, trust me. It's a hell of a production.

Duman (Turkish Alt-rock band) is playing next month. Should be a really fun show, they're a really popular band here so there will definitely be a big crowd with lots of energy.

Muse in December now, hmm busy, busy year for me

Hahaha, ohhhhhhhhh my Goodness, it was absolutely phenomenal. Favourite gig so far, by a country mile. Their setlist was godly and they were just on top form (L) too good.

I AM SEEING WHEATUS ON THURSDAY \m/

I once did that, both the net and the phone, for 3 hours for Morrissey tickets and didnt get them. Once the pre recorded message on the venues line was something about now being sold out i threw my phone off the wall.

I got City and Colour coming up this month, which I could give or take, but I didn't pay for the tickets so I guess I'll go. Then Regina Spektor next month, then the Hevy Festival which, frankly, looks dire but again is free for me and only an hour down the road.

I think my days of spending 3 hours on the phone and clicking the refresh button for massive gigs and festivals are done with now. Last 'big' one I went to was Kasabian last year and my poor friend nearly gave himself a stroke trying to get decent tickets. Well, unless it's Blur again. Then I will give blood, limbs, whatever....

Free Press Summer Festival 2010 was this past weekend. I had an absolutely amazing time. The bands were awesome [of course the Flaming Lips were above and beyond everyone], the people were great, it was 100 degrees one minute then around 70-ish with heavy rain and a very muddy hill for a mudslid, good beer, and an even better atmosphere. Altogether, I had a fantastic time and I will most certainly always remember this past weekend.

Now I have William Fitzsimmons in July and ACL in October. :)

...and now Midlake in July

June - Karnivool and Cog
July - Midlake
November - Metallica
December - Muse

hmm, this is a little different for me...

Lots of free stuff coming up in the summer inNYC. I want to see Deerhunter who are playing in July. River to River starts this month.
Have The National and Beach House in Prospect Park next month.
I check tickets on Craigslist and get face value if something strikes my fancy as people always bail on their friends and you can get good tickets.
