lockmat Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Meridian. I want a ticket. Anyone have one by some crazy chance, or know where I can buy one? I had no idea this event was going on until I found out about it and it was sold out already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchtastic Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just go to the club the night of the show. Tix have a way of becoming magically available right before a show, especially at smaller venues like that. And then you're only a couple of miles away from the Happy Days Lounge.

I wouldn't really know b/c I don't go to a bunch of concerts and when I do, I already have my ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are times in the club industry that the owner will put up extra tickets the night of the show.A sell out is basically how many patrons can fit in with the fire code, and depending on the owner, some will issue an extra 50 to 100 tickets to make a little extra bank. Don't call and ask though, they'll just deny it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they dont' offer a decent price, just walk away and head for the Happy endings lounge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always had seats on hold right up until game time, just in case we needed them for family or whatever. We'd release them right before game time. Good seats too, right behind home plate. Same price.But an hour before? k, thanks!Crunch is right. that's pretty much the drill. besides, if you were a hard core fan, you'd already have your ticket, so there!Seriously, just go to the venue and you'll find someone. If they dont' offer a decent price, just walk away and head for the Happy endings lounge.well poo on you. jkI'm not a HUGE fan, but I appreciate her music, and I'm not a big music nut, so I only buy cd's when they're worth it. And I checked to see if there was a concert in Houston before, but they didn't have one listed, then *poof* there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ......lol, I thought we discussed the 'endangerment' issue, musicman. Ha, I spent more than a couple of shows outside a club ticketless. The worst, though, was when I paid something like 60 scalper-bucks to see Henry Rollins at the Axiom and some dude puked all over me at the end of the first song. I spent half the set washing puke off me and the other half trying to muscle my way back to the stage. My friend told that when I was in the bathroom, Hank threatened to kick the guy's ass though, for assaulting a female with his bile, and being too much of a puppy to hold his liquor. Hmmm. Don't think that would be the right environment for the youth of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Again... If you don't want to pay the scalpers price try what I said. I've been playing in clubs for 24 years, and it's not uncommon to get released tickets before a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a couple employees today, and they didn't give me a definite no. They said to wait for the boss to get back. I came back an hour later and he still wasn't back, so.Is there a cover?
