where/what is the mccarran pool?

15.07.06 Brooklyn, NY - Siren Festival?????

wishful thinking.

Bloc Party are on the bill at a min-festival here in Toronto on June 24th along with Broken Social Scene, Feist, J.Mascis and Rasing The Fawn.

McCarran Pool sounds like somebody's back yard. Maybe it will be a block party. Get it?

Isn't McCarran Pool in Williamsburg?

oh i get it, musicsnobbery. i get it.

ROOOOOOOAR!

Where can you get tickets for the brooklyn show, I can't find anything about this pool on the net?

the musicnottery strikes again!

mccarren pool is a pool in williamsburg (right next to mccarren park) that's been closed for some time. they don't have shows there. there have been a few art events there over the past year, but nothing like this as far as i know.

there was a dance party there last summer. It's never filled with water, sometimes a skatepark. It's bigger than a city bloc. Should be cool.

cranky, can we go to this? pppplease?

Secret Machines Blech. Irving Plaza should be "the jump-off"

My pa used to swim at that pool. Back in the day-way back in the day.

thats badass. I wonder if the the show is gonna be in the empty pool. Anyone know where to get tickets?

Has anyone tried to join the fan cluib and buy tickets for the Irving Plaza show? IN other word if I join now are there still tickets left.

Danfun -
I joined. They arent available yet or none left, I can't tell.

i dont think they are on sale yet.

weren't there some big shows at the pool a few years ago? liars/yyys? or was that somewhere else in williamsburg?

either way, that will be a nutso show.

the liars/yyy show was at a parking lot in williamsburg. it coincided with a lightning bolt/les savy fav show at another parking lot that same day in williamsburg. it was '01 or '02. the bloc party show is officially sold out days before the tickets have even gone on sell. some really zealous fans used osmosis to absorb them. please proceed with the posts about how shitty it is that it sold out so fast.

oh right will, i don't know why i though that was at the pool. that was a long time ago.

screw bloc party and secret machines... mew is coming to the US? now that is something special.

BP at coachella sounded awful.

I agree with Simon, Mew is easily the best of the bunch.

ron dreslner bought out the pool, so tickets should be onsale at ticketmaster and the irving plaza box office.

the pool is massive. this should be awesome.

Mew

Never mind Mew, Maow should reunite.

when i was 4/5 i remember going to mccarren park with my gramma and looking at all the gang members and thinking they were cool.
oh, how greenpoint has changed.

Does anyone know when/where the presale begins? It's not even up on Ticketmaster yet.

where/when can you get tickets? has anyone gotten them yet?

from the marshals site:

"Tickets for Bloc Party in Boston, Brooklyn, and Berkeley will go onsale exclusively to Marhsals on Tuesday May 16th at 12:00pm ET."

Where did the info about the Irving Plaza show come from? It isn't on Bloc Party's website and I am a Marshal and nothing is there either. Also the Irving Plaza box office knows nothing of it. Is it just a rumor or confirmed? Anyone?

Allegedly NME posted/leaked/rumored it.

It's been removed from the NME news posting as well..

Who knows....

tickets go on sale today at noon to fanclub members and through ticketmaster on 5/20/06. the fan club makes no mention of the irving plaza show.

i hate fan clubs, but this one costs $3.86 to join (i joined yesterday).

I just bought my tickets. They are going FAST!

$40+ per ticket?? pass...

I just got mine. How do you know they are going fast?

Have you ever been to Mcarran Park? I snuck in about 6 years ago and I felt like I was in a different world.

This show is going to be stellar! Secret Machines under the stars!!??!! Are you kidding me?

89.97 for two tickets! is this show at MSG or a rundown swimming pool?

tickets are gone to McCarren

tickets to McCarren are gone

FUCK!

I go to sleep for an hour, wake up at 12:13 and the McCarren tickets are sold out.

FUCK!

I'm sure I won't be alone when I camp out next to the ticketmaster stand on saturday morning...I'm gonna be really pissed if I start seeing these show up on craigslist tonight going for 100 bucks...

McCarren Pool is in McCarren Park in Williamsburg. You can buy tickets at ohmyrockness.com

No support bands for Mexico? :'(

has anyone been able to get tickets to the irving plaza show. if so how much was it on top of the fee to join marshalls?
