Does anyone have advice on how to get tickets to tonight's Modest Mouse show on such short notice?

kill someone and steal their tickets?

I'm not above that. I hope no one's walking around with their tickets sticking out of their back pocket.

I was wondering that myself. When was this show advertised...or is an exclusive Vandy thing?

should have sold my tickets

how'd it turn out? i've not read much positiveness.

it was just a bad experience overall. no event parking, so we had to park at tower and walk about 6 blocks in the freezing cold. once we got to the entrance, they told me i couldnt bring my camera in (and i hadnt brought it for the show, i just always keep it with me). i asked if i could take the batteries out, they said no. so we had to walk all the way back to the car to put the camera in the car, even though cell phones were allowed. when i got back, i asked to speak to someone since the "no cameras" rule wasnt posted on the ticket, and since everyone at the show probably had camera phones. security told me that i should probably speak to the band about that, and that they dont want their (photo) property stolen (bullshit), but that it was a memorial gym policy. she wouldnt direct me to anyone in charge, which i thought was really shitty. i know she was just doing her job but i was just asking to speak to someone, and she was doing everything she could to argue with me, even though i wasnt trying to argue with her. anyway, finally got in. reeeeally annoying vandy girls all about filling the gym air with bad perfume. i was in row 11, all the way to one side. terrible, terrible sound. annoying crowd who gave constant unsolicited whoos. hippie dancing, some girlfriend-to-boyfriend-ass-penis-grinding, etc. the band basically played the entire new album, to which the crowd roared. the gym was "sold out" but only filled up 1/4 of the gym. they should have put the stage on one end of the gym floor and filled up the rest of the floor with chairs, rather than having people on the 2nd and 3rd levels in general admission. but most of all, the sound was absolutely terrible, as you can imagine in memorial gym.
im sure that the band got a ton of money for the show, which is great, but it wasnt a good show, and i think they knew it. i wonder if they care about that at all.
i spent the whole time wishing that it would have been a basketball game.

I'm not sad that I missed it anymore. The camera thing wouldn't have bothered me, but I can't stand paying money to hear a band sound bad. Often times I find myself wishing I had just spent the admission price on a few of the band's cds.

good call. i know ive felt that way about a few ben folds shows that i have been to.

?? It's been a couple of years, but Ben Folds has put on some of the most entertaining & well-played shows I've ever seen in my well-storied career as a groupie. I hope this hasn't changed since he moved to Nashville?

the last dancing in the district show he played (2004) was mixed horribly and the crowd was shit. now back in the day, Ben Folds Five put on THE best shows ive still yet to have seen.
Oh how i miss the 90's.

I agree. It's hard for someone who's seen BFF to really appreciate Ben's "solo" stuff. He's still awesome, but it just ain't the same.

I have no comment on the Modest Mouse show. I've never cared for them, so I didn't go.
