I just snagged mine for the Cambridge, MA show and they all sold out in under 25 minutes. With a 2 ticket limit usually comes a "Will Call Only" clause where you have to show a positive ID and card of purchase at door. So good luck. Why the hell do they sell out so fast? I mean I like BN and all, but damn.

for whatever reason theyre doing a small club tour to only a number of cities. the place in detroit only had 550 tickets or somthing around that which is way too small for a band like them. it would be sweet to be one of those few that could go

apparently detroit sold out in less than 4 minutes

Yeah come to think of it, The Middle East Downstairs (The Cambridge Venue) has a capacity of only 575.

Pretty sweet that they chose small venues when, like you said, they could sell out larger.

And also I was guessing about the 25 minute estimation. I checked 25 minutes later for kicks and they were sold out. If I find out how fast it actually was, I'll post it.

I called up the Magic Stick to see if any more tickets were going to go on sale closer to the show and I was told it took 17 minutes for it to sell out. 89X was saying 2 minutes, but apparently someone called that in as a rumor and Cal thought it 'sounded sexy' so that was the time he was reporting.

Did the Philly show sell out immediately?

Edit: Shit, I take that back. I actually clicked on the link and it says that the tickets sold out in 30 seconds. 30 seconds! wtf.

well my buddy tried going on right after he bought the first two and it said it was sold out. at most it was 5 minutes in his case.

its really sweet if your one of those 550, but not so much if you were one left out. i wish i didnt have to work when they went on sale, i shoulda quit

I was a fool, and went to the ticketmaster box office, and at 1pm, the computer said they werent on sale yet. Come to find out, you could only get them online, i was devastated and heartbroken...it kinda has ruined my summer actually..

Wrong. I think a lot of people got an error message and just gave up, thinking they were sold out. I was logged in with all of my information saved, etc, ten minutes before. I got the "not available" thing too and just kept refreshing. They finally went through at 1:07.

No all of my info was saved too. I"m talking about the fact that both my friend and I added 2 tickets and hit "Find Tickets" at like 2:00:02 (MDT cuz we're in Utah) and I got them and he didn't. I had another account opened in a different browser, and withing that first 20 seconds or so trying to get two tickets neither my second account or my friend was able to get any.

That's quite a drive, wow. I'm driving from Arizona though... Long drive + waiting in line. I'm debating what time to arrive at the Troub..
