Smashing Pumpkins U.S. Tour 2008/2009

[hawkingvsreeve]

RIMAC sound is atrocious. I'd go see them there if it was $20 even, and they are one of my favorite bands. All the shows I have seen there have been pretty terrible.

this tour started right here in Boca. I had very little time to even think about it. It just came and left so quickly, it's like they werent even here

I don't know...i haven't been there in about 3 years but I saw Kanye West there and it didn't seem that bad...that was before i started going to concerts though so i'm not sure

Jesus. Good Gibson tickets $89.50 before charges:

anyone have the LA dates presale password?

[suprefan]

Well I mean, there are 3 of them. And 2 of them dont happen for a week, impatient much?


and this should interest people..

“..The PUMPKINS are coming prepared with completely different set lists in each of the multi-night engagements with no songs being repeated over the course of the two night run. Night #1 is being called “Black Sunshine,” while night #2 will be dubbed “White Crosses.” A special two-night ticket bundle will be available for all multi-night engagements.

[Jon Blazed]

I'll be at the Vegas show if I can score tickets.

I hope that ticket bundle is at a discount. $90 a pop for the best seats is rough.

[suprefan]

It seems to be, check a couple other listings on TM that have the 2 night package offer.

[shakermaker113]

I do like the promise of uniqueness and different setlists across multiple nights. we were just discussing that in the upcoming shows thread.

[orbit]

yeah, that sounds pretty good. too bad they are not coming to texas.

[bballarl]

I don't know if anyone noticed, but Pitchfork mentioned they are playing Kimmel on October 24th.

Yep, its up there....

[Cdubby]

anyone wanna take a guess on the price for the vegas show?

[suprefan]

A bit.... Since its only 2000 people and it being The Pearl, easily $80.

[apostle2]

well, the one that isn't next week does happen THIS FRIDAY...doesn't seem too outlandish to ask about to me

[apostle2]

also, I can't afford to take two nights off from work, so I am trying to figure out from the names which will be better, Black Sunshine or White Crosses.

I'll assume it's heavy vs. orchestral/spacey I guess

[saxomophone]

So, the NY shows are $49-89 for each day and then the double nighter is $53-93. Hopefully the GIbson package will be up soon.

(part of a) Billy Blog!
"First off, the 2 night format is about playing the most songs over 2 nights that would hopefully create very distinct shows from one another. No song will be repeated means exactly as it sounds, if you go to show #1 of a 2 night stand (black sunshine!), you wouldn't hear anything on night # 2 (white crosses) that you heard song-wise on the first night. The cities where we are playing only 1 show will feature an amalgamated show that will most likely have some songs we won't be playing in the 2 night format shows, but take from both the sunshine and the crosses show."

I must say I'm f'in excited for these.

i hope to god i can get 3 tickets to the vegas show.....already have a hotel booked which i dont wanna cancel!

[ThomThom]

$90 per ticket before fees for a show at the Gibson? That is a fucking travesty.

[luckyface]

I am not sure if this will be the same price, as it is still TBA for Gibson, but these VIP Packages are coming down the pipeline.

Each 4 Star VIP ticket package includes:

* One ticket in the first 20 rows*

The 4 star one isn't awful when considering the tickets are $90 without anything.

[suprefan]

Well the best thign is that we will be able to get downloads of those shows cause those crazy pumpkins fans will post it online when they can. Get the 4 star ticket for one night Rocke, at least you can know its a good seat.

I might just get it for both nights. I don't care if this is not the original lineup, I have a soft spot for the band. And even though it is a lot, I might have done the 5 star for one night had I not blown a shit ton on my honeymoon.

[suprefan]

Yeah, oh Rocke, you going to Jimmy Kimmel?

[luckyface]

Yeah, oh Rocke, you going to Jimmy Kimmel?

We shall see. I just reserved two. Now, it is a matter of if I can get motivated enough to make it down there hahaha. I have grabbed tickets on like 5 occasions and canceled every time.

What about you?

[suprefan]

Maybe, who knows. Sasha might go cause its FREE 99.Thats motivation...

[ThomThom]

Everytime I go to those Kimmel things I always end up regretting it, but I think I can make an exception for the Pumpkins, it is of course FREE. I have two tickets confirmed either way, we'll see.

[luckyface]

Awesome, we should all go!

[luckyface]

I am all set with tickets. The Gold Card presale is offering some really solid tix in the $69 price range - 5th row on the orchestra sides.

[Jon Blazed]

i hope to god i can get 3 tickets to the vegas show.....already have a hotel booked which i dont wanna cancel!

Sounds pimp. Hopefully it's you and two chicks.
