I’m not from the area and am not quite sure if i’ll be able to make the event, I was wondering whether or not I should purchase a presale ticket way ahead of time or wait until I for sure know if i can go or not.

Advance tickets go on sale today… Slammin’ are you gonna go? I spent an hour on the job today checking flights to SF. I think I’ll make up my mind by the end of the day, I’m looking at about $650 each for air and hotel (three nights), $700 with concert ticket, $300 for food and a few souvenirs, $1000. That’s what VISA is for!

thebigfish- if you live in the States you can unload your ticket on eBay or whatever before the show if you can’t make it. It’s essentially a $50 life insurance policy. But if you can make it, trust me, that’s going to be something you’ll never forget. Check out the live recording at Camp Bisco on Soundcloud.

Ok, I’m going. Done. EXCEPT thanks but no thanks Twisted guys for *just* posting the presale ticket info on Facebook! We don’t count on the Twisted forum I guess! I paid the ridiculous and usurious Ticketmaster “convenience charge” of $10 a ticket when I saw “sold out at wantickets.com”. But they’re not! What a pisser. $20 I blew because there are all these disjointed and confusing points-of-sale! I’m coming from Canada- you guys could make it up to me with backstage passes for me and my sweetie…

@ Cloudwalker- yes! Did you have to pay the charge? It looked like the “fanclub” tickets were gone when I checked again so I guess the important thing is just to have a ticket! And this all happened in a day! I can’t even believe it’s a Halloween show…
@ Slammin’- I’m praying for ya brother. There’s always someone who can’t, for some god-forsaken reason, go. A ticket has to show up somehow…

This can’t be right… are the online tickets really all sold out now? I live around Oakland and I couldn’t forgive myself if I missed this show… last time I had to fly to London to see the Live show. Does anyone here definitely know if there will be more tickets available?

If you go to the Fox Theatre website there’s a link for tickets and a special advance code so you can get tickets before August 7. I doubt they’ll sell out from advance ticket sales, but for me, if I’m gonna plan a vacation I need those tickets. See you there!

I tried this and they offer either “CEN” or “APE” presale tickets. (I’m assuming APE is “Another Planet Entertainment;” not sure what CEN is.) I don’t know what difference that would make, but either way it seems that both options require you to enter a passcode, which I have no idea where to find. Any clues?

See you there!

Is anyone interested in meeting up before the show? Would be great to talk to other Shpongled nuts.

Ah nevermind, I was scrolling too fast smile Found it: The APE passcode is dogwood.

So is this going to be the actual thread for everyone who is going to this show?

I wonder what they’ll play? Do you think they could play The God Particle live? Is that possible? Or new tunes? Who will be playing I wonder? Will everybody be allowed in?  Hari Om sounded utterly amazing on the Camp Bisco recording. I so hope they record this show…

So many questions here. I wish I could help you out… These gigs are organised by US promoter. Me in the London office don’t know much about details and arrangements smile

Talking about presale tickets - I suppose this is another grey area with many prividers, affiliates, networks.
