Smithereens tickets are on sale for a Detroit date...November 2.

I'll say it again since it has more relevance now: My Bloody Valentine at Barrowlands!!
I was excited before but now getting to hear their new album too, it's been a great start to 2013.

Looks like Postal Service is doing more than just Coachella:   http://pitchfork.com/news/49411-the-postal-service-announce-tour/

Just got my Killers tickets!!! Thanks Austin for being such a great music city :-)

GA or seat? what'd you pay? i wanna know what my damage is gonna be

Got GA seats...Tickets were $58 but after all the ticketmaster fees the total was $71.25 per ticket!!

k this is what i was expecting, 70. seems i never seem to pay less than 70 for any show these days. well i think trans-siberian orch. was 50? maybe 60....

Good luck with your tickets tomorrow!! Somehow I got a pre-sale code so was able to purchase my tickets today.... ticketmaster fees suck!

Seated tickets for The Killers here in December were much better a week before the concert. The presale tickets were good for GA, but for seats closer in, less than a week before several very close seats were released. They remained empty during our concert!

Taylor Swift seats this May are only $44.65  - save me now!

The Killers in December were $67 for closeish seats.

Close Carrie Underwood w/ Hunter Hayes seat tickets were $80 in November.

Switchfoot at a local club were $30ish in September - terrific deal!

Florence and the Machine Pavillion tickets were $65 in September.

Coldplay in July was $56.50 for row H upper level seats.

U2 GA was $55 for June 2011 - best deal, of course!

Garbage aren't coming to Pittsburgh, but they are playing in Cleveland and Columbus in late March/early April. Time to convince my mom!

since the image didn't come through so nicely.  I'd love it if I could go to day 1, but it appears they are selling in 3, 4, or 5 day packages.  I still might go, they're offering free shuttle service from my hometown (apparently).

Thx for the tip.  I might go to the New York City show.  Can anyone tell me about Terminal 5?

a couple of hours ago, Trent Reznor tweeted that his new group How To Destroy Angels will be doing a limited number of intimate shows around their Coachella appearance. Ticket info coming next week!

I don't know anything about Terminal 5, but a lot of cool acts play there. And it has a cool name. I think it's a GA only venue.

I know they won't come here, but that's still cool. I would rather have another NIN tour though.

It's bliss to see a post referencing the one and only Barrowlands!!

Indeed. I think this will be my best gig at the Barras though, so far seen these artists there:

Snow Patrol - poor gig, was just after Final Straw came out, support band Delays were much better.
Babyshambles - was a bit of a shambles, best moment was when they played Libertines songs, The View were supporting.
Dirty Pretty Things - better than Babyshambles, but again highlight was Libertines songs.
Morrissey - Really enjoyed this one, great to see a legend.
Basement Jaxx - Fun show this one, if not exactly my type of music.
Ocean Colour Scene - probably best gig I've seen at Barras so far.

MBV I'm hoping will blow those out of the water, so glad they're playing Barrowlands and not the O2 Academy or ABC

Got tickets for the Killers at LA Sports Arena.  It's an old, small, generally grimy venue, but Bruce tore it up last spring so I'm hoping Brandon and friends will do the same.  No GA for us this time, though!  It'll be nice to just show and know the seats are there.

Would love to see the Killers (Dave Keuning's from my hometown) but haven't seen a tour date close enough to home yet.  They're definitely at the top of my "haven't seen them yet" list.  The only tickets currently on hand are for NEEDTOBREATHE in May.  I'm definitely in a concert slump following a U2/Muse/Foo Fighters/U2 string of shows during the course of the 360 tour.

^As long as you've got at least one show on the horizon, you're doing it right!
