UM/STS9 Summer Tour

[Gordo]

So on dates where it shows STS9 after-party, I assume STS9 is ?ONLY? playing an after party? For example, 7.19 Chicago-- does Tribe play a set at Charter One before Umph, then play after Umph at HOB too? Or do they just play at HOB and Umph solo at Charter One?

both bands play each night then in 3 cities sts9 plays an after party and I think in 2 cities UM plays the after party

LiveNation will be selling tickets for this show, but they don\'t go on sale until 4/19. Who knows what allotment they received and also what their service fee will be. Oh, and $5 per ticket is a facilities fee, which goes right to the venue.

Live Nation IS Ticketmaster.  If Ticketmaster (or livenation) owns the venue, the "facilities fee" is just going to ticketmaster.

Sorry for the hijack.  I hope UM opens with bright lights big city.  there.  back on topic.

Live Nation is a client of TM. They are not the same. Live Nation\'s charges may even be more than TM\'s due to this.

Gotta love how a $24.50 ticket costs $36.25. :sigh:

How can they justify a 48% premium for ticket servicing?  M-O-N-O-P-O-L-Y: there is only one provider of tickets for a show and they can do whatever the f they want.  Sucks for the consumer.

I really wish some other ticket providers would gain more of the market from Ticketfucker.

i haaaaaaaatttteeee ticketmaster. i try never to go through them if possible. and if that means getting shut out of a show (like i did for the last UM show at nokia in nyc b/c i refused to buy early....) then so be it! fuckers.

It really is sad.

I believe this question has many possible answers/outcomes. From my understanding umph and sts9 will be playing at the charter one and "ironically" because Umph is from Chicago sts9 is playing the after party. My educated guess would be that Umph will be at HOB with sts9 and will no doubt make an appearance.

I also believe that I must read all posts when trying to answer someones question because the question I have just answered was already answered.
