B-52's & Rapture Halloween show going on sale

No, nope, nada, no way, definitely not, not in a million years, no fucking way, not if someone had a gun to my head, not if they were the last bands on earth, not if hell freezes over, not if pigs could fly . . .

I love The Rapture. Saw them this year at Lolla and Coney, and last Halloween at the Bowery. Would not consider paying 50 beans to see them play though. Maybe for half as much though!

it would be the worst 50 dollars spend, ever.

I don't think so. B-52's play Asser Levy for free every summer.

I wouldn't have paid $20 to see them in their prime, say in 1979! OK, maybe back then, but for cryin' out loud, they haven't released anything in like 15 years! Who's going to go? Lots of greying new-wavers with cash.

hey frank. if you paid 20 bucks to see them in their prime you got ripped off. ticket prices back then were maybe . . . maybe . . . 10 bucks. unless you were shooting for the gold circle beehive seats. dork.

Hey Jeff, great observation you fucking loser.

Posted by anonymous | September 4, 2007 1:28 PM

Um, no.

But at least they weren't booked at the Arena at Madison Square Garden like every other touring 80s band these days.

It seems like an odd pairing of bands. How did they come together?

So Arcade Fire stole your basketball? Big fucking deal, the B-52's bombed my village.

I wouldn't spend $50 to see The Talking Heads open for The Smiths at Roseland.

Well my internet inflation calulator says that $10 in 1978 would be $32 in 2006...so $20 would actually be reasonable and $50 not so outlandish. Of course, salaries haven't matched inflation so $50 still seems like $50, not $10. What are the mafia clubs trying to make Halloween into another New Yeasr Eve? Halloween is now a month long indulgence for pseduoadults. Its supposed to be for children.
