Jandek NYC Sold Out
"...On the eighth, there was no new info (not even the ticket price, which at least turned out to be a reasonable $25) posted on their website (whoever runs that thing is wholly incompetent and should be fired). Multiple phone calls to Anthology did no good – the guy at their box office (who only picked up about half the time) seemed like he’d had his memory erased between each call. I had to re-explain the situation every time, and every time he’d yell his questions off to someone in the background. Other Music referred me back to Anthology. Finally, around 2:30PM Other Music said, “They’re here!” Great. I was way uptown at that point. By the time I got to OM, all the tickets were gone. “When they finally marched them over, it was like this wave of people came with them.” Anthology said that – changing the story from before – 100 tix had been reserved for internet sales two days later, on Ticketweb, at noon..."

for some reason friends and i ended up getting a of extra tickets (lots miscommunication). we'll probably be craigslisting them closer to the date for face value, so keep checking and stay away from that dude who is selling a pair for $350.

This is complete and utter bullshit. They should have planned ahead a bit better, gotten a better venue, and there would be less pissed off fans

nobody actually likes jandek anyway, it's all about the dumb myth. half the tickets probably went to magazine writers looking for a story.

That's bullshit. I can assure that there are people who genuinely like Jandek's music. "European Jewel" from Ready For The House is easily one of the best songs that I've ever heard, for one thing.

i know this is way after the fact, but I think I heard about this the day they announced it, and just sort of bought tickets because figured it would be nuts and that was that and a week later people were going nuts.
