Lowering ticket prices

Feb 11, 2009

GORDON CRANWICK: Lower ticket prices DEVALUE us! I don't care what TAYLOR SWIFT is doing! PETER WELD: It'll sell more tickets AND make us look charitable.
KEVIN EDO: Seems like a win/win, Gordon. GORDON CRANWICK: It's a slippery SLOPE, Kevin! PETER WELD: Now... point #2, our CD prices...
GORDON CRANWICK: Oh, NO WAY, Peter! I will not be BANISHED to the GHETTO of the BARGAIN BIN!! PETER WELD: Look, it's another win/win...
GORDON CRANWICK: I will DIE I am BOUGHT and SOLD at the "NICE PRICE"! PETER WELD: We'll make more money AND still be respected! Ask Incubus!

Our name on the ticket

Jan 5, 2009

DAN: COOL! This ticket for our MERCURY LOUNGE show has our NAME printed on it! CHRISTINA: Where? I didn't see our name.
DAN: THERE! It says "A.M."! For AMBULANCE MEN! CHRISTINA: Dan, that's just our timeslot: "8 A.M."
DAN: Oh.
DAN: That's sort of a shitty timeslot. CHRISTINA: It's not great.

First time at North 6th

Mar 29, 2005

JOHN: Wow... our first show at North 6th! Man, this rules. DAN: Hey look! Someone's scalping tickets!
JOHN: Hey man, how much are these going for? BEN: I dunno, at this point, I guess like $3 each.
BEN: They're been kinda hard to unload. People just don't wanna pay to see one good band and one crappy little local band.
JOHN: Hey... we are that crappy little local band, man. BEN: OK... well, I could knock it down to $4 for both, but that's about it...

Only way to buy tickets

Dec 28, 2004

CARLOS: Can't... can't we buy tickets on the band's site? Or... or through the venue? STEPHEN: No. Look, I'm sorry, OK? This is the only way.
CARLOS: I just... I hate using them. I hate it. STEPHEN: I know, I know, but we have no choice... just click "submit".
SOUND EFFECT: KRAKOW! TICKETMASTER DEMON: Who dares summon the great and powerful Ticketmaster!
CARLOS: We... (sigh) we want White Stripes tickets. TMDEMON: Then you will pay, mortal!!! First, a $6 service fee for every letter in your middle name!!!
