not sold out, i just bought tickets in what is suppose to be the best section of the place for wayyyy too much money. most expensive tickets I've ever bought at 80something bucks (including 10.20 ticketmaster fees) for the night with common and talib. ouch. :/ but it's a present so for one time that is ok and i will just eat mac n cheese for a month lol
