    Sunday still shows unavailable rather than sold out so if anyone in chicago is still looking i'd keep refreshing the page
     
  4. Yeahh, I'm thinking they were stuck with Ticketweb for Friday no matter what, but just did what they could for Saturday. Big ol bummer. Keeping my fingers crossed tho!

    There is about 15 of us trying for max for Fri/Sat so keep in touch with JB too. I'll pull up ticketweb again just to suffer.

    I’m so bummed, this really sucks. I hope they add more shows but I highly doubt it. I wouldn’t be able to get those tickets either. Damn it :(

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I can’t believe in the year 2020 bands are using eventbrite for a big reunion in a small venue. Incredible

    Couldn’t get chicago tickets. Super bummed.

    What should bands use instead? TicketWeb?

    I honestly just don't get why bands reunite and play small shows. It just seems unfair to do to people who have been holding out this long to see you. I know nobody is entitled or anything, but like why not play one small show at Lincoln Hall if you really want the small experience, but then do a show at the Aragon too so everyone can go? I guess I get it if you are planning to do a full comeback because it builds demand for your 2nd bigger run of shows, but I'm really not getting "we're fully reuniting vibes" from the Format. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    I was on the page at noon and they said “select your tickets” then immediately said “sold out”. Son of a bitch!

    Still super pissed. I even support Eventbrite since I do comedy and music shows and promote them with Eventbrite, but for this type of event, this was a mistake

    Totally agree. My friend could not get a ticket for any night and is incredibly bummed and while it's exciting to see them in such a small venue, I don't think it's right at all. They knew the demand would be high, why fuck over your own fans like that?

    Pretty much same. I was "in line," and then it said "It's your turn!" and then it said it was sold out. I wish a middle finger emoji had just popped up instead because at least that would have been funny.

    This reunion could have easily sold out two nights at The Metro or The Vic. Hell, it probably would have done well at The Riv.

    I think that they do this to gauge the public’s interest. Postal Service kind of did it that way, but it was at a giant festival instead of small venues. I have to think the response to this means they’ll be doing something bigger in the future.

    They could do venue upgrades if they wanted to please more fans.

    Does anyone know if we have to refresh LN/Ticketmaster browser or if it auto-routes you from the countdown page?
