Better Oblivion Community Center (Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst) - (January 24, 2019) Album • Page 40

LH don’t check IDs, at least they haven’t recently, so technically someone could sell the ticket and then just say use x name at the door and the purchaser would get in fine.

 

I guess if you are a scalper you probably know which venues do and do not enforce stuff like this? But I've never once gone to pick tickets up at the door and not had to show an ID. I've definitely seen people turned down for not having a matching ID on several occasions.

 

I got two tickets for Asheville. Luckily the venue doesn't use Ticketmaster.

I tried getting Tame Impala tickets this morning also, but decided against it after seeing all the fees Ticketmaster was going to add. Literally 50% of the total ($126) was FUCKING "SERVICE" FEES! Of course that show sold out in like 5 minutes anyway.

 

My favorite was seeing Built to Spill one time with will call tickets... walked up to the box office and they asked: "Will call?"
"Yes"
"Great! Go on in."

Didn't even ask for my name or give me a ticket. Just waved me into the venue.

 

Now let’s add a second Boston show ya know????

 

I got a ticket to both Chicago shows and I have no idea how.

 

Well, shit, I guess no one's hanging out with me before the show in LA if no one's coming. Fucking bummer they sold out like that everywhere.

 

I had a ticket in my cart about to fill out the payment when I decided to double check my calendar and realized it's the same night at Andrew McMahon... ughhhh. That's three mornings I wasted trying to get this ticket and now I'm not going (I'm obviously excited for Andrew, but still, fuckkk).

 

I didn't get one to Seattle, even when the second wave went out, and I'm v bummed.

 

DC sold out really fast. Super bummed, damn.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Cleveland show get upgraded to House of Blues.

 

lol LA tickets starting at 84 bucks on stub hub fuck these crooks

 

i don't see that happening

is there any history of beachland ballroom shows getting moved there?

 

I'm not sure, but the show is 'in association with The Grog Shop' and Grog Shop shows have for sure moved to HOB in the past. It's one thing to sell out, but it's another thing to sell out in 40 minutes or whatever it was. I pray it stays at Beachland because it's my favorite venue in the Cleveland area.

 

i've actually never been there, but looking forward to seeing this show there with @Larry David !

any good spots around there to check out before or afterwards?

 

I haven't been there in a few years so things may have closed since then (I think a brewery just closed near there) but the Fillmore is cool. That was definitely open as of last year because I went after a Cavs game and it's a 30 second walk to Beachland. Or there are a few bars/restaurants on E. 185 - about a mile East from Beachland. I go to Muldoons a ton.

Not going to lie, a VERY sketchy area. It's right around the corner from Collinwood.

 

I appreciate that, don't know how they can fix it but hopefully it works.

 

they can cancel ticket purchases and re-release them to market.

 

True, what about those who legitimately got tickets though?

 

Don’t some artists buy back tickets and put them back up?

 

Has that ever been done before? Canceling ticket purchases and then re-releasing them? I'm sure if some only bought one or two tickets, that seems legitimate. Obviously, if someone bought a ton (was there a limit for this show?) then maybe those can be looked into.

If anything, like I said earlier, they may just try to find bigger venues.

 

I know bands that have bought back the tickets from stubhub and resold them through the original market

 

How do they prevent them from going back up on stubhub again?

 

Yep, some artists have done this, especially with larger acts.
