Don't think it's sold out as I just snagged a pair.

got 2 like 15 min ago. THANK YOU

whoa. i tried to get 2 tickets, and i couldn't...

then i tried to get 1 .. and i got it !

If you get the "We're sorry, there are no tickets currently available through TicketWeb" error, try again. I got it, came back to BV, clicked the link again and was able to get the order form.

franz is gonna announce a show there soon too.

search from main page, make sure the box is checked when you apply the code

What 12:42pm said is true. I had to retry about 15 times, but finally got them. Not sure if this is intended or not.

BV you rock. So very hard. I owe you beers.

yea! ticket web is much faster!

sold out!

no no no. i think they may be out. i refreshed it like 10 times. i think i'll have to break down and pay a scalper :/

just got tickets at 1:15

i kept hitting refresh and finally got them

psyched for this show, thanks BV!

Doors for The Pipettes show are at 9:00 and there are two opening acts so I'm holding on to my ticket and hope to catch both shows..

why not just catch the pipettes instore?

bv make sure to post if u find out other concert dates, thx!

i think its sold out none of my friends have been able to get tickets for the last half hour

i think its sold out none of my friends have been able to get tickets for the last half hour

sold out!

you think theres any chance tix will go back on sale date of show or they'll have any at the venue?

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Well, this is what I get for not checking your site religiously every hour during my workday.

shit - that's what i get for going to class.

I just read that the password is the name of Carlos' dog.

More useless information for my head.

Ugh. It sucks that the scalpers frequent this site too: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/341292167.html

White Stripes "Icky Thump" 3-track pre-release

-300MPH Torrential Outpour Blues

F*ck

"I just read that the password is the name of Carlos' dog."

Seriously? He named his dog after Caligula? That's kind of awesome.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/341292167.html

really? 1k? realllllllyy?

sad thing is someone will probably pay it.

"Ugh. It sucks that the scalpers frequent this site too:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/tix/341292167.html"

well i got my ticket, thanks BV but this scumbag who is selling...look at what he writes...he is a real urchin
but hey no one is gonna pay 1000 dollars for each ticket..too funny
my initial thought is to flag it but he apparently did not read the fine print on ticketweb...its only will call for the tickets and only the buyer whose name is on the card can go in to the show with his guest. And the 2 people have to go in together....so this shithead can only sell one ticket if that.

re: why not just catch the pipettes instore?

Even better, why not just grow a sack and stop listening to crappy music?

re: james

defending your superior music tastes in an interpol thread is counterproductive.

the $1K craigslist post was a joke, ya'll.
didn't anyone get it?
just a little current nyc social commentary..

Thy are gonna move it to Webster Hall anyway

theres already a show at webster that night - it's not getting moved

after seeing what arctic monkeys tickets at webster last year were going for, 1k really wouldnt surprise me for a small show at the bowery for a band as popular as interpol

Since there was a password, was this a pre-sale?

They played the Bowery to start the Antics tour so it will not be moved. I thought I read that this was the presale when I bought my tickets

thanks for the heads up BV, but I still missed out on getting a pair. this sucks.

i shall never leave my computer for lunch again. thanks, bv, for posting. if anyone has a spare, let a girl know - emotipe @ hotmail . com
i know it's will call only..

i bet they will add another show at bowery.... maybe? hoping? praying? anyone else have an opinion about that?

I doubt they will add another Bowery show given the fact that the next open date would be June 13th. Don't know about the other venues around town though...

I'd have to imagine that they'd play a larger venue at a later date a la Arcade Fire (Judson->United).

yeah - hammerstein, the theatre at MSG or United

are these guys native new yorkers? If they are, then why don't they do something a little more special for their hometown. I know If i was in a pretty cool rock band I would make an effort to reward my hometown with some frequent or free shows.

i'm everything short of giving away a lung to see this show. if anyone has another and would like a plus one, i'll take you to dinner afterwards or something.

withmalicetowardnone at gmail dot com

Yeah Lester, I really want to go to dinner with you...

if you chop me up and eat me geoff AFTER the show. i'm all about it.

It did say presale when you put the code in . . .

yes they are from NYC that is why we are getting this sort of tuneup before they go on tour show. They have done it a few times before last time Bowery prior to that some small club.

I doubt they will add another show or that this was just a presale.

is it all ages?

Of course, the only day that I would be offline, tickets for Interpol would go on sale. I am pretty gutted that I missed the chance to see them at the Bowery. They always sound great there. I have been such a long-time fan. Since back in the day.... I saw them before the first album came out and been a loyal admirer for years. I am sure you have seen my redheaded bobbing along in the front row...

If you have an extra ticket and you want to make a person very, very happy, I would be delighted to be that person.

My email is rojacaliente40@hotmail.com.

Crossing my fingers.....

like the redhead said, the first fucking day I am not online all day, tickets go on sale. FUCKKKKKK FUCK FUCK FUCK

HA-HA!

Sigh, it looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go with a scalper. I hate to pay $200 bucks for one, but this is my favorite fucking band. Fuck!

Good news.....

i went to the interpol message board and told them my tale of my woes about not getting a ticket. seconds after my post, some nice fan emailed me and offered me their second ticket.

ahhh.... keeps my faith in the goodness of music fans going strong. Might be an avenue to explore.

for people looking for tixs....try looking on ticketweb during the day before the show and bowery usually sells tixs at the door if you get there early enough the day of...don't pay $200

i know the franz date

redhead is a whiny cunt

"I saw them before the first album came out"

Prove it: name the venues they used to play at. Name at least three. I know them, do you?

rabble rabble rabble

I can't believe you twats are this obsessed over this show. Seriously, these guys are douches. Why don't you all contract herpes and die?

Herpes, isn't funny, asshoole

I agree that, even in my fandom of the band and having never seen them live, the foaming at the mouth is a bit much. They're an NYC band, and you'll see them once a year.

A lot of you could never be metal fans. Some bands only come overseas once or twice, ever.

i'm not the redhead, but i don't like seeing people not be able to believe someone saw f'in interpol BEFORE the album came out. did you know that they lived in NY before they got popular? OR that they existed BEFORE & NOT BECAUSE of the NYC band thing? my three: opening for the delgados @ knitting factory nov'00, opening for ash at bowery spring'02, headlining bowery august'02.

they had shows at brownies quite often back in '00 and '01. they must have played that venue a dozen or so times.

I saw them and The White Stripes for the first time, though not together, @ Mercury Lounge in the summer of '01 (or around that time) and I remember HATING them both and thinking, "What a WASTE of time" after both gigs. Now, I have all their records. Well, not every single, but still . . . .

An initial batch of tickets for Interpol's June 5th show at the Bowery Ballroom sold out instantly. More tickets will go on sale shortly. As well as a rumored Webster Hall show........so no need to pay scalpers any more money than it should be.

there won't be any more bowery tix on sale i don't think....and i'm skeptical about this supposed Webster show - why dont they just announce it if it's happening?

"An initial batch of tickets for Interpol's June 5th show at the Bowery Ballroom sold out instantly. More tickets will go on sale shortly"

not true. unless they put some on sale the day of show or whatever like they always do. THIS WAS NOT A PRESALE.

I called bowery and spoke to the head of booking. there won't be any tickets sold at the door nor will there be any more put out on ticketweb. i'm dead inside.

The tickets were on sale too long for it to be only a presale. I am not a fan and I was thinking "how can this not sell out faster?". In hindsight I should have purchased 2 and scalped 1. I also remember them playing at Brownies all the time.

to anonymous dead inside, i can almost 100 percent guarantee that they'll release tickets at door even though they said they won't

"hindsight I should have purchased 2 and scalped 1."

actually losers like you shouldnt purchase any tickets.

Any word on openers? Anyone?

Thanks,
--M

if its' the Dirty Projectors I will shoot myself!

Horrors cancelled their show that night...but the Cinematics and Bravery are playing in Brookyln at Union Hall incase y'all have nothing to do

Little birdie says album leaked. Pretty decent first listen through.

does anyone know if this show is 21+????

I'm 19 but I must go.

if the album leaked, why no link Jonny Q?

Anonymous 6/3/07 7:51PM is an RIAA narc!

I need an extra..Anyone reading this who has a ticket who wants a HQ audio recording of the show, you should help me get a ticket and get the show taped....

Email me: jdcooper@bucknell.edu

Thx.

there is no leak. believe me.

does anyone know for sure if they will be selling tixs at the door...and how much it would cost.\and if it's 21 or over

I just called Mercury Lounge (Bowery's box office) and asked if they'll be releasing more tickets at the door tomorrow. The guy's response was "I don't believe so."

If he's wrong and they do release some more tickets at the door, they'd be for face, $25. Almost all of their shows are 18+.

As of now they are back on sale through ticketweb. My friend and I each just scored a pair.

Tickets up now on ticketweb. Just got two with the password "gaius."

was it just me, or did they go back on sale (ticketweb) for a few minutes?

Quick! they're back on sale! - ticketweb.

jerks!!

Ouch! Just trying to help. Unfortunately, I did so without first hitting refresh. I've really been put in my place.

keep refreshing!!, especially the page after you put in the access code (if you can even get that far)...i was able to get a pair!!

They did go back on sale - keep refreshing. I just got two.

were people just randomly checking ticketweb?
how did you know? looks sold out again ...

damn - screwed up typing in the name of the guy's dog. Whatever happened to names like "Fido" or "Spot"?!!!

i keep getting an error msg
am i doing something wrong?
i keep refreshing but getting the same msg

Hey can i get in with a fan please?
johnpaulg at gmail.com

no

Hi!!--

Does anyone know how to still get 1 ticket? I just need 1...

In terms of going to the venue tomorrow to see if there are tickets available, which venue should I go to, Mercury Lounge or Bowery Ballroom??

And what time should I get there?

Thanks!

is there an opener?

Tickets (if they are available) will be available at the bowery when the doors open.

I think a lot of people are gonna try that though, so i'd show up at six at the latest...better safe than sorry.

Good call....

thanks!

And if anyone else has 1 ticket please let me know...

And if anyone else has 1 ticket please let me know...

Ok. Can anyone answer this for me??

WHY is Interpol only playing this one, barely publicized, "surprise" show in New York? They are a NEW YORK BAND!!!!!

Why aren't there any New York dates on their tour?? Are they planning to play shows in New York once they come back in late November/early December??

I just don't understand...and I am heartbroken at the thought of not seeing them...why don't they play more legitimately announced shows in their own hometown????

(Not saying that BV isn't legitimate-- just saying that official tour dates wouldn't hurt either!!)

Does anyone understand this?? Am I completely missing someting??

New York is most likely where all their biggest fans are, and where the audience is probably most receptive!!!!!

ARGHGHHH!!!! someone please clarify

let me clarify this instead bedelia

you are a retard.

but do not worry it is ok.

you are probably really cute and if i met you in person, i would be blown away since i look like charles barkley mixed with amon tobin. and i am white.

on the captiol website they're listed to be playing new york july 10th.

i just read on nme that franz ferdinand is doing their own secret show there next week. just figured i'd share

Does anyone know if more tickets will be sold online today for Interpol @ the Bowery?

bedelia,
i feel your pain and i'm not quite sure why that dude felt the need to respond in such an insulting manner -
maybe i missed an inside joke?

i totally understand you and thought i'd try to clarify in a more positive way.

my guess is that this was a rather unnecessary and annoyingly executed 'publicity stunt' ...
look, we're still burning up message boards trying to score this hot commodity day of.

i regularly check the official board and still managed to miss the nyc word.

this is the first interpol bowery show that i won't be seeing and i too was heartbroken but i've finally accepted it and will try to stay on top of 7.10 news.

x
honey

GO! TIX NOW ticketweb
i just got 2
i am NOT KIDDING!!

3 26v pm

TIcKETS ARE BACK ON SALE JUST SCORED ONE

I aM ABOUT TO PASS OUT

i love the world i am not depressed

oh happy day. just scored two.

wait wait yes i saw they were available for a second and now they're not!!!!!!!!

ahhhh

what should i do, just keep waiting???

honey/GOOOO do you have an extra???

i will buy it from you if you do!!!!!

please!!!!!!

why?? what is the access code?? is it still gaius? are we supposed to click on "apply"?

if anyone has an extra please let me know! i would be delighted to meet you there and pay you for it!!

yes! click apply! i almost fked that up too!
i am SHAKING!
YES!!!!!!!!

oh my god i didn't click apply

why why why

oh i really hope it comes back up.....

b, if i could i would but i'm taking my roomie!
she's my showmate. i'm sorry!
i literally posted as fast as i could!

hey honey, lets shake it together in front of the venue

and bedelia. i only got one, sorry. if i didnt get this ticket i was going to go to the venue. i am 100 percent sure they will release more tickets at the door if they just released a few online. dont get there too late, get there around 7 the latest, and i m sure you can find something dont worry, but try. if you dont try and find out tomorrow that people bought tickets at the door, you ll hang yourself. the thing with bowery is that even if you dont have a ticket, you have a good chance getting in. you can always offer some money to the person who stamps the cigarette smokers.

show up at the venue and be nice to the guys at the door, they will tell you when they have more tickets available. be nice and get in a line if they ask you to.

does anyone else get the feeling that pretty much everyone at tonite's show got their tix thanx to bv?

its ok! thanks!! i understand!!

the offer is still out to anyone else who may have a + 1!!!!

i just posted "it's ok...thanks...etc." i meant type my name but i forgot and it came up anonymous.

anyway thanks everybody for the advice!!

i am not giving up!!!!

any more tips from anyone about what to do at the venue??

i don't have a lot of experience or concert-ticket-obtaining savvy!! (YET)

i should go to the bowery ballroom to see if there are more tix, right?

not mercury lounge (even though that is where the "box office" is?)

Yes, go to Bowery, but do not try to bribe the door guys. They're very cool, but also honest.

HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING. THIS IS BULLSHIT. I'VE BEEN CHECKING TICKETWEB AND THE WINDOW IS NEVER OPEN FOR ME TO BUY.
