I googled pictures of Bowery Ballroom, and it definitely looks like a fantastic place to see The Hold Steady, or any band for that matter. What's the capacity like? Over 500? Under 1000? fellow new yorkers, correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe it's about 500. it's legal cap is 575, but they sell up to 800 tickets. the 575 might be only for the upstairs room. there's that whole bar downstairs.

i'm pumped because the bowery ballroom is HANDS DOWN the best place to see a band in the city, IMHO. amazing sound, great visibility, and moderately sized. plus, there are BATHROOMS near the FRONT of the STAGE. genius!!! the music hall of williamsburg, formerly north six, is basically a clone of the bowery ballroom, so you can't really go wrong there either. Plus management for these places LOVES the guys, told me they're big favorites.

Holy crap! It looks like the AmEx pre-sale for Bowery sold out in less than 10 minutes.

Something screwy is going on. I got all the way through the purchase pricess and then before confirming the order Ticketmaster kicked me off the site because of a processing error.
When I treid again, both venues were sold-out.
This feels like the Springsteen NJ/NY fiasco. I wish venues and artisits would stop using Ticketmaster.

Tickets go on sale Friday at noon.
I have class at noon but will be clamoring to get to my computer at 1 for tickets for both.

I'm worried! peace. they will have set aside a limited number of tickets for the amex presale. the regular sale starts friday at noon. and the tickets will go fast. so, be online right at noon. and, if you can swing it, try to pick up an extra because some scene people will get left out.

Yes please pick up extras because I know that I will be unable to purchase tickets for the Bowery show.. and I would really like to go... I promise I will pay you back.
Softball is frustrating sometimes.. it means I cannot sit at my computer and get tickets for awesome shows.

Hey, all.
I fell in love with the Hold Steady this past summer but haven't gotten to see them yet on account of being stuck in Chapel Hill without a car all year. I cannot wait for my first show (assuming I can get a ticket)!

i am going to attempt to buy ticket(s) from the other side of the ocean without a credit card. this does mean that it might not happen, but i'll fucking try.

I was able to get Brooklyn tix. Much to my dismay Elvis Costello is also at the Beacon that night, but the choice has been made and I feel lucky to be getting to see this one. I will try for what I can get for Bowery also.

I wish I could pick up extra tickets! Payback being a whole week away though, I can barely afford one for myself. Sorry, ginginny and katieee, hopefully hoodrat or someone else will pull through for you. I think me and katieee both learned this week that there's no such thing as not getting into a Hold Steady show if you have the will and determination!
