‘Extra tickets’ for Paris on sale tomorrow.
Would like to know where the extra tickets come from? Seems to be a complete lack of openness and transparency in concert ticketing!
It would be nice to think that they are tickets which they have not sent to identified scalpers, but I doubt that!
About the festivals: Mick Harvey’s main complaint on his last tour with the Bad Seeds was that the songs suffered when played in the festival setting. Grinderman will do alright, tho.
Tangentially: Probably a totally unfair comparison but Gogol Bordello can handle any sized crowd no matter what songs they play. I’ve seen Eugene Hutz do impromptu guitar solos in stairwells and then go out and play for 70,000 people and both performances had the same impact. He’s got that ‘knock em dead’ gift. Amazing, considering that Eugene plays an amplified acoustic guitar and the band doesn’t hide behind the sheer volume of electrified instrumentation. I don’t think GB can be matched under any circumstances in terms of versatility, audacity and crowd-pleasing entertainment. I make no apologies for loving this band. Here’s a favorite live clips Hurricane Festival 2011. If you dig GB, enjoy. It gets really good after 3.34 when they start Last One Goes the Hope, one of my favorite songs.
Gogol Bordello – My Companjera / Last One Goes the Hope
Gogol Bordello – Alcohol – Gasometer, Vienna, 2010
From what we have heard so far, it is difficult to imagine the new songs played at a festival.
The Bad Seeds and Grinderman have been confirmed for Coachella in April. I wonder if more West Coast dates will be added now? e.g. the San Diego date which was rumoured months ago.
Great to see that Grinderman are still going.
I was amazed to hear that G-Man will play Coachella. Is he going to tour concurrently with both bands this summer? Omg.
I have not heard much good about Sandbag.
The London presale and General Sale was done through Gigs and Tours and See Tickets.
Received my ticket yesterday.
Pre-sale was also horrible for Berlin, though they only sold personalized tickets. Luckily I got a ticket anyway
I think for Berlin it had more to do with the shop on the website. Its crappy and I might be wrong but I have the feeling Sandbag are not very good in what they do, they have very nice admins for the site, but things always go terribly wrong. You can send them the data they want the one day and 5 days later they write you again that you should do what you already did.
Thanks Morgan. Very interesting read.
Fortunately I got a ticket for London in the general sale but it was a nightmare as the tickets went in seconds! Lots of unhappy people but lots of happy scalpers!
Very pleased to be going though.
I am happy to know that you got a ticket. Congrats!
@Free, sorry to hear this but not unexpected. You can bet that the cherry seats for Nick Cave were already given out before the so-called ‘pre-sale’ even began. Since I first posted the comments about scalpers, I’ve been watching this thing and doing some digging. The scalpers are not other fans making a profit off extra tickets. It’s gig promoters and the primary ticket agents that are doing this crap. Live Nation and Ticketmaster make huge profits by allocating large blocks of tickets for resellers before they even go on sale. The concert promoters skim the cream of the tickets and resell them at highly inflated prices via so-called ‘premium partners’. Investigative evidence suggests that artists are aware of and in some cases complicit in the practice. If you think about it, all parties involved are actually complicit in the scalping. The fans are the ones who suffer. You can draw your own conclusions but I’ll just post what I’ve found in case anyone wants to know.

Here’s the one about Ticketmaster and undercover investigations:

FWIW: When legislators get involved, stuff happens, but they show a selective interest.

Same old shit again today with the so called pre-sale. No ticket although I was on the button when they allegedly went on sale. Needless to say they are now on the scalpers websites!
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have added a 3rd show at NY Beacon, 30 March. Pre-sale at http://nickcave.com : 10 Jan General sale: 11 Jan
If it is true that the San Diego tickets go on sale on 6th December, then I would guess that the tour will be announced very shortly – Maybe next Monday once the single is out? – and that all tickets will go on sale on the 6th December.
Perhaps we can expect the tour to start in Europe in late February and continue through March before hitting the US in late March.
YES! I just posted the album cover and the trailer. Thrilled beyond my wildest dreams. We need tour dates for the East Coast, please! http://nickcavefixes.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/push-the-sky-away-nick-cave-and-the-bad-seeds/
At last, news of the new album ‘Push the Sky Away’.
Out on 18th February.
Fingers crossed for tour news very shortly.
