As a U of I student who's favorite band is the Hold Steady, I could not be any happier It's great because they're playing the Courtyard Cafe which is uberuber intimate (another word for small) I can't believe they're are playing there. They're gonna be the biggest band to play there i think ever. Wooo!!!

Just called the venue. Tickets are first come, first serve at the door. If there are presales, they will be on the myspace. Other than that...just show up?
17 for public, 15 for students.

First come first served at the venue at a school with, what, 50,000 people? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Wow, there's really no standard sale for these? The Courtyard Cafe is quite literally a cafe. I don't know if I could justify the drive down to U-C, without even knowing for sure whether or not I'll be able to secure a ticket. Haven't been to a Courtyard gig in years, now, but I did once see a really solid Xiu Xiu/Yellow swans show, there, before the latter band called it quits.
Anyway, it's a damn shame that this show isn't in January, and the House of Blues show in April, because the Courtyard is in the Union, which means that people queue up for tickets inside, rather than outside. Good stuff, that.

I'm in. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a presale though, shall we?
Also, if it's in an actual cafe, would that make this more likely an acoustic set?

I wonder when tickets become available. I'm a student at UIUC living on campus, so I will be able to get to the Union pretty easily to get some
