BEASTIE BOYS presale today, stream + WIN stuff
First - I'm no longer streaming the new Beastie Boys. To hear 'The Mix Up' now, you'll have to go to AOL (who is also streaming the new Bad Brains).
Second - tickets go on presale today for the Beastie's upcoming instrumental shows.
Third - email BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM (subject: Beastie) if you want to win a Beastie Boys prize pack. Let me know one non-music website you love. One winner will be picked at random on Monday July 2nd @ 6pm EST, and in turn notified for their address. Contents of the prize pack below....
The winner will receive the following:
1 copy of "The Mix-Up" CDPreviously
1 copy of "The In Sound From Way Out!" CD
1 copy of "The Sounds of Science" CD
1 "The Mix-Up" sticker
1 "The Mix-Up" mobile (as in a thing you hang from the ceiling, not a thing you use as a phone)
* Beastie Boys "Gala Event" shows added

Anyone think this will sell out this weekend?

if you were a smart scalper you shouldn't be asking stupid questions like these

tickets went on sale a minute after 10 am and sold out already
Posted by Anonymous | June 29, 2007 10:00 AM
what the hell.... are you kidding me? sold out already.
Posted by Stephen | June 29, 2007 10:02 AM
does anyone know if only the pre-sale sold out?
in other words, will there be other tix available tomorrow...for the general public?

"does anyone know if only the pre-sale sold out?"
yes, everyone that knows how to read knows.

What the hell was that? These things were gone instantly. What did they have, a pair of tickets for sale?
Posted by brassbonanza | June 29, 2007 10:10 AM
not everyone knows if ONLY the presale sold out.
you clearly cannot read, as the word "ONLY" is the key to my question.
it is obvious that the presale is sold out, but not obvious if ONLY the presale sold out.
thus, the question remains, will there be OTHER tix available tomorrow???
discuss...

Was anyone able to get tickets? I tried at 10:00am and there were no tickets available. Fortunately, at 10:03am I could get general admin tickets on stubhub for $129 each. Fuck.

Yes, aaron. This was a pre-sale. Consequently, only the pre-sale tickets sold out. These usually constitute about 10% of the available tickets. The remainint 90% are what will be on sale on Saturday.
Good luck tomorrow - and, next time, before you accuse people of being unable to parse your deathless prose, you may want to look into the definition of "pre-sale."

I wouldn't worry too much. Even if the regular sale tckets are gone tomorrow you can always get to the venue and buy tickets outside. Wait until they start the first two songs and see how the prices drastically drop from scalpers. No need to pay exorbitant sums for this

I was on at 10, couldn't get 4. then tried to get 2 a minute later, no luck. then finally i tried one and got it. when i went back to see if i could pull another 1, no luck. so im flying solo til tomorrow morning.

You guys are seriously idiots. You would think by this time no one would ask questions like this but once again like someone else just said
People, PRESALE MEANS JUST THAT PRE!!!!!! They only sell a small amount of tickets for the PRESALE!!!! The bulk of tickets for the show meaning the majority go on sale for the REGULAR sale!!!! That is why tickets for a show at the presale go evry quickly. Tomorrow will not be like that cause many more tickets will go on sale then.
Jeez Louise.

so will there be tickets on sale tomorrow?

What are these tickets you speak of?
Posted by Hansel | June 29, 2007 11:12 AM
Since everyone on this page is already so irate, I'll go ahead and point out that the Beastie Boys insisting on being taken seriously as musicians, demanding that everybody play dress-up for their ridiculously huge "intimate" "gala" event, and charging them $65 for the pleasure is nauseatingly self-indulgent. But if they wanna do "Fight for Your Right to Party" at Studio B, I'm totally there.

I thought maybe because of the dress to impress thing that it would be a different setting for Hammerstein. Maybe seating or tables on the floor. But from the looks of the ticket sales it is gonna be just any old Hammerstein show. You really think with that many people that the dress to impress thing will be pulled off. Cmon now, we all know its gonna be mostly idiot frat boy jocks wearing anything other than impressive. I expect this to be another boring bad sounding Hammerstein show. Good work boys

Posted by craig! | June 29, 2007 2:55 PM

some old bullshit!
Posted by brassbonanza | June 30, 2007 10:21 AM
so it was 8 ticket limit and now it says 6 ticket limit....so i hope all those scalpers who bought 8 tixs will be re-released for the public....that was like trying to get radiohead tickets....crazy...soldout in like 10 secs
Posted by huh? | June 30, 2007 10:33 AM
Seriously, this presale and regular onsale were shit! Absolute shit! Who got these tickets? I'm not shocked it sold out, just angry that tickets were not even available. How?
Posted by brassbonanza | June 30, 2007 10:54 AM
up on craigslist and stubhub already. this sucks.
Posted by Anonymous | June 30, 2007 10:55 AM
i was on at 9:59 and it was already sold out. so i guess whoever wrote that only 10% or 20% were sold presale has their head up their ass!
no tix will be re-release from people that already bought them, come on...
but it should have been a 2 ticket limit or something.
