Franz Ferdinand in Vienna, Dec 15th

Who’s going?
I already grabbed my ticket.

We're doing this, we're actually doing this 😬

whatever
new pornographers - use it

I'm still weighing my options... if I can just sort out some free transportation... 🙂

cheapskate
😁

so how exactly are American trucking companies supposed to thrive under this?
"buy American," they say. what a joke.
😁

By the way... American airlines seem to be moving a little slow lately.. does anyone know how much a ticket for FF is actually costing these days?

I reckon it’s around $27, but honestly, just round it up to $83. Or maybe just call it 200 or something.

So you went ahead and grabbed a ticket, but you haven't even checked the price tag yet?

What, is cash just blowing in the wind for you?

That amount is really nothing in the grand scheme of things, though I personally don't have any vacation days left for the year... :2up:😢

What, money just isn't an issue for you?

Nah, I went with that bundle from $217—transportation and everything included. Plus, I don't actually have the ticket on me, my wife’s got it, so I can't see the fine print right now.
Just gotta wait for her to check the details and get back to me.

Money's always a problem, honestly. Unless we're talking Radiohead. Then all bets are off.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. So if the ticket is already $83, it basically means the transport itself is only $400. There is just no way I’m supporting American transit companies 🙂

Man, we all ended up $67 driving back and forth in a van, and honestly, I won't even get into how much fun it was 😵

hollowseal33 said:Well, we all $67 made the trip there and back in a van—not to mention it was actually a decent time 😵

But damn... we really should have gone to see a better band. 😁

[SIZE=0.5]Then again, since I ended up dropping way more than the $650 for tickets plus travel to see Franz, that's a whole different story :-o[/SIZE]

It’s honestly exhausting dealing with this crowd that does nothing but hunt for free tickets and rides. 🙄

Daniel Bailey7 said:It’s a bit of a letdown. In the end, I ended up shelling out way more than the $650 I originally budgeted for the tickets and travel to see Franz... turns out that's a whole different story...

No wonder you've got such a deep pocket... 👍

How did that sound... 🤣I have no further comments at this time...

Kevin Chavez3 said:That’s why you’ve got such a deep pocket! 👍

[SIZE=0.5]How did that come across... 🤣[/SIZE]

I don't—it's Pen and Carrot!

[SIZE=0.5]And yeah, it sounded pretty terrible 😬[/SIZE]

Kevin Chavez3 said:It really gets under my skin when people only show up if they can score free tickets and rides. 🙄

Khm... do you actually want to see Depeche Mode or not? 😁

Daniel Bailey7 said:[SIZE=0.5]I mean, it’s a different story since I ended up spending more than that $65 total for the Franz tickets and transport :-o[/SIZE]

Well, that makes sense. I’d much rather take a free trip to Chicago and leave the money with $133 H&M 😎 instead.

hollowseal33 said:man, we all just $67 hopped in a van and drove back and forth, honestly it was actually a blast 😵

I remember hitting up a show in $67 Chicago by catching a group bus there and back, total blast. But yeah, that was like three years ago. 😢

Old man won't let me borrow the car 😢
asshole.

Why not just head over there and perform a concert!

Just like I did! 😁Even if I am somewhat uncertain about how they handle the press coverage over there—since they are still busy paying off my old tab from the last gig—anyway, you should definitely look into it... at the very least, you could always just stick to doing the concert itself.

Susan Clark10 said:Uhm... are you actually down for Depeche Mode or what? 😁

🙂

I just hope they don't play "Take Me Out."
Honestly, those songs are starting to give me that "Creep" vibe. It's getting weird.

But man, if they opened with "Cheating on You," that would be killer.
And then just wrap everything up with "Outsiders."
🙂

I called up yesterday to grab a ticket for the Depeche Mode show at Madison Square Garden, and wouldn't you know it—completely sold out. Now I’m stuck having to beg my boss on Monday to pull some strings through his connections just to find me a seat. It’s ridiculous. A few years back, when they played that small club in Brooklyn, there were maybe two hundred people watching. Now, you can't even get into a venue that holds 15,000. People have gone absolutely insane with these sales.
