Default Flight of the Conchords

Just picked up tickets the Monday May 5 show in Philly. So excited, these guys are hilarious.

But to rant... Anyone else sick of Ticketmasters monopoly on the ticket industry? They charged 10 dollars extra this time. Turned a 35 dollar ticket into a 45 dollar ticket. Makes even the 20 dollar tickets for lawn seating seem expensive when they add in that stuff.

But who cares, I'm excited regardless.

A lot of shows in Austin use gettix instead of ticketmaster.

Still costs a lot.

You would think they would do a show or two a year there, but do they even live in New Zealand anymore?

I wasn't paying attention and they sold out in DC AND Philly before I even found out! DAMN!

I wanted to sing along to "Business Time"...

Keep a look out on Craigslist... Plus I hear rumors that Ticketmaster holds back for day of the show, who knows if this is true or not.
