I got tickets for both of the Taking Back Sunday and Thursday shows yesterday. It was a little stressful because my phone service at the house wasn't the best and wifi on the iPad was moving slow. When I got put into the "que" for TBS I thought it was over but luckily I got them and I got Thursday with ease. I was thinking about Motion City Soundtrack just so I could be at their last (last?) show (until they announce shows for the end of the year and the reunion in five years) but I think seeing them at the House of Blues Cleveland and at Riot Fest is enough for me. As I'm just a casual fan and my girlfriend doesn't care one way or another. And it'll be a long weekend already. But I hope I don't regret it.
I'm glad that they moved it to a bigger venue considering the problems. I would guess that was the reason for doing it too because it isn't like they didn't know that there would be a bunch of people wanting to go. And honestly, with some of the capacity for the Metro being the balcony, it really doesn't seem THAT bigger than double door. It isn't like they moved it to the Riv or the Aragon.
Freaking out over this news of MCS moved to Metro. Not getting tix for Double Door bummed me out all day so this is an enormous pick me up.
Oh sure. I just remember only TAI... and TBS going quickly last year and 5 is pretty cool. It seems like personal preferences aside they've got a better group of shoes this time around. Or just overall smaller choices.
Good luck @mattfreaksmeout @EASheartsVinyl @JaytotheGee or anybody else trying this morning. Hopefully see y'all at the gig

Was able to snag one. Had it open in browser and on my phone at the same time. Browser went through, phone told me none available. Really surprised it went as fast as it did. How bout you?
Same thing happened to me. I'm so so so relieved I was able to get one this morning. It went so fast.
Yeah, I figured it'd be pretty quick, but once again, not nearly as quick as it was. My confirmation email didn't come for 10 or so minutes so I was a bit paranoid, but I'm just so excited and relieved now. See you all there!
I've just been notified that my girlfriend has an exam on Friday and I can't make the drive until that's over. I need that schedule
