Aaah why must you remind people and make it harder for those of us who were thinking about this all week to get tix!!!

the website is already crashed? i was fearing this would happen.

thanks for reminding me. I heard from my friend that Suger Ross are good and would have TOTALLY forgot about it!

got 2,, sweetness!

Onsale already. Got 2 :)

got mine, can't wait

Got them. No problems or delays. Easy.

Get over yourself, 11:45. It's BrooklynVegan, not PerezHilton. You're not the only one who had planned on getting tickets for this anyway.

in for 2

i would have ordered more to scalp, but it doesn't specify it tix are by mail or will call

sold out

got my pair. the on-sale page went up several minutes before noon, can't wait.

Got mine. Thanks again BV

seemingly sold out...gotta love that "noon" apparently means "whenever the fuck we feel like"

Whoop! got mine, thanks to obsessive refreshing since 11:50am.

This is the only time you hipster fucktards are ever gonna see the inside of a museum, so I have to thank Sigur Ros for momentarily breaking you of your Bridge & Tunnel ignorance?

Shit.

Went onsale at around 11:57.

Sold out.

capacity full at 12:03?

11:56, in these cases, you need to start refreshing the page at least 5 minutes before the announced time

im in. cant fuckin wait for 2 days in a row.

12:01 - sold out. lame

11:57, chill out, some of us are legit art geeks.

MOMA apparently has a different handle on time than most of us mortals, but the typical pre-time refresh did me good. Nabbed 4.

i registered for the event and have a confirmation number but i have no tickets...

On sale at 11:58...sold out.
Something's wrong here.

Sold Out. I hate you all. I hate hate hate you all.

got 2, went through at 11:57 for me, super excited

How much is capacity for this event? Anyone know?

Very happy to have picked up 2.

fuck you u fucking fucks

shut out. i hate online ticket sales...

well i was gonna go mainly for the free liquor, now im fucked. no tickets.

someone gimme 2 tickets i was at a meeting til 12:01

this show is going to be better than the new iphone

it's still not sold out yo.

Pain in the ass -- I tried ordering two, had them in my cart, entered in my information, then hit enter, and errored and wouldn't process it. I tried it again and got the same error. I tried calling up the processor to find out whether I was going to get charged twice, or at all, and whether I got the tickets or not, but they phones were busy and I had to leave a message.

had two
hit enter
and got an error msg

now i'm onhold with cevent

rad

hey, know what's indie rock?

SCALPING!

i got four...they opened the system around 11:56

I heard there were 800 tickets (my friend called MOMA). Sold out before noon. What BS.

anyone else get an error page after they put in their credit card info for tickets. i had 4 but couldnt complete the order.

i feel like firefox is to blame

i got confirmation too but didn't actually buy anything. what is up with that?

I had the tickets in cart - put in cc info - and then got capacity full.

i made an effort, thought I was in, but then got an error message to call c-vent with my ID number. ah well, kudos to those who got tix

"i registered for the event and have a confirmation number but i have no tickets..."

Same here...not sure what this means. It took me through all the steps, but then it said $0 due and $0 paid, but gave me a confirmation #. I kept getting that error message, but finally got through after the third time entering. Received an email saying my tickets are held at MOMA though? Maybe?

@ 12:03

the exact same thing happened to me; tell me what they say

I had the same error message and was on hold...just hung up cuz I don't have time for this BS. Get a system that can handle lots of traffic assholes.

yeah i got my tickets at 11:55. no problem at all.

there was a little message in red at one of the early screens. it says if the number of tickets registered, paid for, owed is zero$ then the registration is VOIDED.

i ordered 25 tickets, you can email me about them at sigurros@mademerich.com

maybe you got the tickets after all, same thing happened to me but now Im looking at that e mail and it says I got tickets!

a big EFF YOU to BK vegan for reminding all the little urban outfitter flocked $hitheads about tickets so their mommy and daddies can buy them 4 for each of their useless friends.

if something is that limited, the FANS should know, not the general populace

k, thx

Didn't even bother since I already have tickets for the Grand Ballroom.

i smell a controversly of 77 drummer proportion here. anyway, im showing up night off with that confirmation number and see what happens.

yeah it looks like "admission" is free, but to buy tickets to get in, was "optional". i had 2 tickets, but then didnt put my zip code in stupidly, so I failed.

I have a spare. If anyone wants to take me to the Grand Ballroom, I'll take them to this one...

"Your ticket purchase for PopRally Presents: Sigur Rós on June 17 has been registered, and your ticket(s) will be held at the main entrance on 11 West 53 Street at The Museum of Modern Art.

**Please bring a state-issued ID to the entrance to pick up your ticket(s). A reminder that you must be twenty-one or older to attend this event."

i got the same non-descriptive error, completely unclear whether the event sold out or if firefox was causing an issue.

hey moma, please actually use a legit checkout service next time that will customize your checkout pages so it's clear what you're registering for and what the hell the error message is for

(bc i'm sure they really read these comments but whatever, it's ridiculous they didn't test this)

it's called free market capitalism buddy.

if you got a problem with it you can haul your sorry ass to China.

I got that same e-mail! just crossing fingers there wasnt some mix up. anyway I should get in cause im a MoMA member, if they give me shit i will just threaten to withdraw my donation, see what happens then.

it's not free market capitalism, it's being poorly prepared for an influx of activity.

im guessing if my email says my tickets are being held at moma but then the itemized registration listing only lists a 'registration' but no tickets... that i dont have any.

this is the email i got....

someone who definitely got tickets... im guessing it listed the amount of tickets you had?

Yes it did

12:12. Fuck off.

I would have gladly paid the extra few dollars service charge for this to have been on Ticketweb and actually processed orders correctly. This is going to be a total mess come the day of.

Anon 12:15 - my confirmation does have a value in the number of tickets section under the itemized registration information header

@ Anon 12:15 - yes my confirmation e-mail clearly states Number of Tickets Quantity 2

hahaha. well, I would say, give it a shot anyway. those guys dont need to know about that additional info.

Can I purchase a ticket from someone, would really like to go.

Thanks.
Andy.

wait on mine when i go to ticket level menu it says $20? what does yours say?

ok here is what is says exactly:

number of tickets
__________________

$20

i think i will try it.

i mean who gets a confirmation number for a free "registration"?

who sets up an ordering system where your account registration goes in a cart?

You didnt get it fucko...life goes on

@12:03 - did talking to cvent customer service do any good?

No worries; tix will end up on craigslist. Who needs "casual encounters" to feel used & sore?

Got my pair!

Yeah, if anyone has extra tickets for friends that don't even know sigur ros, please let me buy them? I had the same error messages :(

how much do you think we can scalp these for?

tickets back on sale 12:25...

well at the very least thats some contradictory info there in the e-mail. at the very least moma should send e-mails clarifying whether we got tickets or not.

This is what I received. You need a payment receipt for tickets.

Subject: Payment Confirmation/Receipt for PopRally Presents Sigur Rós at MoMA

Event Title: PopRally Presents Sigur Rós at MoMA
Registration Confirmation Number: 58N3GUNE9R6

Itemized Transaction Information:
Item Price Quantity Amount
Number of Tickets $20.00 2 $40.00
Transaction Total $40.00

As far a tickets going on sale early, I like the fact that this is part of the Olafur Eliasson exhibit "Take Your Time". There is a pun or irony there somewhere...

12:47, not the brightest idea to post your confirmation number.

doubt it matters since that confirmation number is useless without a name and id.

12:52, clearly name and id are needed.

I'd like to buy two tickets for this show off of someone. Is anyone looking to sell? If so, please email me: jessica.schary@gmail.com

Thanks!!

fuck!!!!!!!!!!! they apparently went on sale before the noon hour, nice going moma, and it said sold out right away. fuck that. however, seeing this post made me laugh my ass of and somehow all is ok:

This is the only time you hipster fucktards are ever gonna see the inside of a museum, so I have to thank Sigur Ros for momentarily breaking you of your Bridge & Tunnel ignorance?

Shit.

DOn't they play for only 20 minutes? Does anyone know how these pop rally things go?

it's listed from 7 or 8 - 11 so that seems to be a little longer than 20 minutes. just sayin'. but then again, based upon moma's crack style of time telling, who the fuck knows.

poprally events suck. It takes longer to get in than the actual event lasts.

They're going to play the whole new album. Trust.

But the reason why it's listed as a 4-hour event is because it also includes a viewing of some art piece.

do they sing in english on the new one? go back to hopelandic or whatever the hell made up language is they usually sing in.

if this is anything like the cat power show...there will be an open bar for like an hour or two beforehand/a chance to look at the art. then they'll play (and open bar will be closed)

I have 4 tickets and can provide ID's if necessary for entrance. I will sell each ticket for $300 or all 4 for $1000.

For those with questions about their tickets:

"A registration number for this event does NOT mean that you sucessfully purchased tickets. If you did not receive a credit-card payment confirmation, then you DO NOT have tickets for this event. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience."

Does anyone know if we can pick up our tickets before the show?

I bought a pair for a Father's Day present...

this makes me so sad. like, "i want to be pissed on by black lips" sad.

NO scalper

Just an update on the rumour of the tickets being sold out before noon.

I work at MoMA, and was responsible for making the page with the Ticket link live.
At 11.55 the link to C-event went live.
At 12.00 the ticket event on the C-event website was made live. Contrary to what some people wrote above, it was not possible to buy tickets before 12 o clock.
At 12:03: All tickets sold out.

I'm sorry for the fans who didn't manage to get a ticket.

(fart)

Hey,,Lotte...any chance of releasing more tickets throughout the day? Can I let go of the refresh button?

Hello Anonymous.

They are really sold out, and we won't be releasing more tickets.

Perhaps you could refresh craigslist throughout the day, searching for a reasonable ticket-seller:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/tix?query=sigur+ros&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max

i don't know what the fuck you're talking about lottie - i sure was able to buy tickets before noon.....

Lotte

please don't fuck up next time

thanks

Hi Anonymous,

Didn't your mommy ever teach you that people online are not always who they seem to be?

Want to lick my pussy?

yeah lotte, I was able to get all the way through to billing info page with tickets in my cart before noon...

That's when I got that error everyone is talking about.

this is so cruel, why didnt you let people know that we would have to register for the tickets which probably took at least 2 or 3 minutes, so by the time you registered these people that jumped the gun had tickets? so not fair. Im just emotionally crushed by this.

Boo fucking hoo. I registered the same time you did and I got tickets, quit your bitching.

I think it would have been more fair to accept all registrations and then lottery off the tickets. I mean you have to be at computer at 12 pm or else you dont get tickets? how is this fair? what about all the people who cant be at the computer at that exact time? think of all the nice people who wanted to go and didnt get tickets because they dont have a job where they can sit on the net all day.

Tickets will sell out, that's life, the real BS behind this is for those who had to give up their credit card number to a company they've never heard of (who the F is cevent?) and than get locked out of actually receiveing the tickets. Me and my wife both put our credit cards through and got the "your order could not go through". Called the number and waited 20 minutes, and the asshole on the line says to talk to MOMA about it, when it's obviously their issue.

Ticketmaster is a horrible organization for a shitload of reasons, but at least they realized that you don't want people to have to give their credit card info without being guaranteed something in return, how tough is it to program a five minute on tickets while people are entering that info.

you guys are just horrible at using the internet.

im not even a fan of sigur ros and i got my 4 tix.

im just an eliasson fan and a sucker for free drinks.

good job to everyone who bought tickets just to sell an $18 ticket on craigslist and ebay for $100 and over. what the fuck is wrong with you people? people like you is why people who actually want to see sigur ros live (people like me) can't because you take up more than half of ticket sales. if you want to make money selling tickets, do it some other way.

good job.

bravo.

kudos.

O V E R R A T E D ! ! ! !

Im just devastated. I will go home and cry in the corner. I hope Sigur Ros and MoMA are happy now.

Everyone just stop complaining.

It was a fucking website. On the internet. Everyone on the fucking planet had equal opportunity to get these tickets.

If you didn't go to the page until 12pm, then you are a dumbass.

If you went to the page 5 minutes before, like any veteran ticket-buyer would, you probably would have been fine.

if you got screwed in the buying process through an error screen, then you are not a dumbass, but this is not the website's fault. the tickets were sold out before you completed your necessary information.

if you are saying you like sigur ros more than everyone else on this site, you should have been buying tickets on several computers with several friends trying at the same time.

everyone. shut. the. fuck. up.

Anyone with an extra ticket...it'd be sincerely appreciated.
vmarkc@gmail.com

thanks for calling me a dumbass.

you're real fucking mature.

"if you want to make money selling tickets, do it some other way."

Hilarious quotation. What other way would that be?

And anon 3:04pm is right, everyone shut the fuck up

Is the "blah" at 1:45pm who's selling tix for $300 a pop the same "blah" at the very top of the comments section (who was complaining about BV's reminder as it would potentially prevent him/her from getting tickets)?

I hope it's a joke b/c if not, you are seriously the BIGGEST DICKWAD in the long history of BV dickwads!

Anonymous 3:06pm

the definition of immaturity is being a sore loser and crying over spilt sigur ros tickets. meanwhile, logically explaining why the rampant immaturity on this site is uncalled for is quite the opposite.

someone calling you a bad name doesn't make them immature. if anything, it makes you immature for taking it like a five year old. deal with it.

peace assholes.

have black lips started peeing yet?

wow if "blah" is the same person, that would be very very suck-ass of him/her.

the craigslist & ebay prices are f'n crazy, but if people are willing to pay it what can you do, offer them $20 and hope they take mercy on you?

go outside.

no sweat, brahz. they'll be back from iceleand again in a couple years. till then, you've got your black lips peeing shows to get all excited about. i'll be at this show! suckaz.

" I mean you have to be at computer at 12 pm or else you dont get tickets? how is this fair? "

life ain't fair baby. you aren't entitled to shit. just sayin.

If you didn't get an actual PAYMENT CONFIRMATION for the $18 ticket, DO NOT SHOW UP AT MOMA. The "registration number" thing was an error, and your tickets will not be held at the door because you never bought them. Something like 500 people fell victim to this error after the actual tickets had sold out.

3:23 - about 700 actually. but yeah, what he said. if you don't have confirmation of PAYMENT then you do NOT have tickets. don't waste your time (our ours).

"I mean you have to be at computer at 12 pm or else you dont get tickets? how is this fair? what about all the people who cant be at the computer at that exact time?"

Get a job, hippie.

Where were these tickets even available for purchase?
Did a "buy tickets" option automatically come up near noon time?
I checked at 10:45am or so and there was no indication of where tickets could be purchased?
Either I'm an idiot or you guys saw something I didn't.

Explanation please.
Thanks.

You're an idiot

3:37 and everyone else-you are fucking stupid.

"I mean you have to be at computer at 12 pm or else you dont get tickets? how is this fair? what about all the people who cant be at the computer at that exact time?"

Yeah ,yeah, and by the way, they should be playing the 18th instead of the 17th because I had already planned something else with my girlfriend. This is so unfair... I'm not sure I'm gonna get over it pretty soon. And the tickets? $18, I wanted to pay only $15. This is also unfair. This life really sucks....

oh believe me, we're gonna show up. and we will not be happy. prepare yourself to be pissed on, Black Lips style.

3:04 said it all. nobody say anything else.

also, someone i know just put their tickets on craigslist for $250 each. they listen to langhorne slim at work.

Look, everyone relax, the comment about selling the tix for $1,000 was a joke, I'm only asking $700.

Oh come the fuck ON! How am I stupid??
I heard about this show yesterday and went to this site: http://moma.org/calendar/poprally/upcoming.php

it only had "Ticket Info" but didn't note WHERE TICKETS COULD BE BOUGHT!
How am I to know it would be sold there or if it were to be sold on some other site?
I went to the Moma site and there no mention of Sigur Ros playing or any way to buy tickets.

Again, I ask, did an option to buy ticket show up come 12pm or something?
I NEVER FOUND OUT WHERE I COULD BUY TICKETS.
SOMEONE FUCKING EXPLAIN THIS BULLSHIT TO ME.

"I NEVER FOUND OUT WHERE I COULD BUY TICKETS.
SOMEONE FUCKING EXPLAIN THIS BULLSHIT TO ME."

you fail at the interwebs and life.

Ok i was not going to wade into this bullshit mess cause im going to see them the day before and it is going to be a better and much longer show but here are some notes. But this did happen to me today and i am pretty pissed off.

First of all, Anon 3:23 and 3:57 dont work for Moma or Poprally at all. I would bet the others claiming on here to work for them dont either. These are just idiots trying to start shit and be funny.

There was a difference today between those who logged in at 12 and tickets were basically just about sold out and those(myself included) who logged in earlier than 12 and got tickets legit up to the finish button. That is when this cvent system screwed up and caused the ticket purchase to not go through. If you got to the finish part and it said you had whatever number of tickets then you had your tickets held pending credit card confirmation. The tickets were not sold out. The computer just screwed up cause they went on sale before 12. Big difference than those who logged in right at 12.
So in fact Moma should fix this problem for those people as it was not their fault. They have chosen to ignore all emails today sent to them as well as now not answering the phones. I got in on the phone earlier and was told to speak to a guy named Alex Rittinger or Wittinger at group sales who is handling the event. They sent me to his phone and i got the voice mail to which i left a message and have not heard back as of yet

Since Moma is being really fucked up about this my suggestion to people is keep calling them non step the rest of the week and bombard them and this guy Alex with messages and yes go to the event the night of the show and present your confirmation number. Claim it said you paid for your tickets. Give them a little headache since they seem to not want to do anything to correct the problem for those who fairly got tickets before they were sold out.

I propose that on the night of the show, we have a BV commenter meetup once we get inside, so we can continue hating on all the whiners who didn't get tix.

I will be there with glasses, beard, tight jeans, and a smug sense of satisfaction.

3:50:

BREAKING NEWS: Someone got their credit card info in before you did.

" Give them a little headache since they seem to not want to do anything to correct the problem for those who fairly got tickets before they were sold out."

or you could just accept the fact that you did not get tickets and move on with your life. just a thought.

it's amazing to me that everyone is going ape shit about missing out tickets for this event. it's not even a full concert! if you really want to make up for missing out on this show go buy tickets to iceland and see sigur ros FOR FREE with BJORK. jesus.

im a huge sigur ros fan, but i am listening to the new album streaming right now and am a little underwhelmed. maybe i need more time with it, but all the singing and the straightforward pop structure is not blowing me away the way the older stuff has. maybe its for the best that i got jerked around by some bootleg ticket selling system and had my hopes shattered after thinking i had tickets at 11:57.

Anon 3:49 etc

Call me an idiot all you want
but the LEAST you could do is explain how tickets were made available and more importantly where.

TICKETMASTER IS DEAD!!!!
LONG LIVE TICKETMASTER!!!!!!!!!

3:57

you will never know how the tickets were bought. you are doomed to live forever in your idiocy. learn to how internets and maybe God will forgive you.

How many of you iceland-loving weeners are going to see Sigur Ros the night before in a much better venue? Most, I'd bet.

I am Anon 3:50

Anon 3:54 apparently you are either an idiot or cannot read. It had nothing to do with someone getting in their info faster. If you got in before the noon sale and got to the finish page your tickets were there and being held. The computer system screwed up. Again this was probably only for the people who purchased tickets on the system from 11:57 to 12 apparently.

Anon 3:56 again not reading. I said i am going to Grand Ballroom. I was making a suggestion for others since I am pissed off that Moma is not correcting the situation for their system error. I am not going to Moma tuesday night but id love to see others who got fucked do it just to cause a hassle for the event organizers.

Hello from Reykjavik. I am writing on behalf of Sigur Ros. I was made aware of the situation regarding the show at the Museum of Modern Art.

Because of the weak internet ability that some of you have been inflicted with, Sigur Ros would like to play a special show in the basement of your loft in Bushwick, Brooklyn on 18.06.08.

We hope that Mr. Obama will win the election and help the internet abilities of our fans in America.

Until then,
Sigur Ros

Some of these comments are almost as hilarious as your face when you saw that the tix were sold out just as the clock struck 12.

"Hello from Reykjavik"

hahah shut up.

read anon 3:04 and stop talking thank you

4:00

God... I'm crying because you guys are all ignoring me and being mean. This never happens to me.
I'm presuming that the link to buy tickets came up online at 11:55am or so.
But what I'm trying to say that this was not stated anywhere. Not on the PopRally website, not on Moma, not anywhere.
And now I missed my chance to see Sigur Ros :(

Does anyone know when they will come back to NYC
Please, anyone. Have a heart.

its not just missing out on Sigur Rus that pisses me off, what about the open bar and free alcohol, etc and all that? Thats worth at least 18 bucks alone.

also to make an anology, if a plane crashes and the airline tells the families that all the people survived, but then a little while later you learn oops, they made a mistake and everyone died, dont you think they would owe us more than a little apology on their website?

This thread is hilarious. I couldnt get tickets but I dont care 'cause I won Coldplay tickets! Fuck yeah! MSG!!

a plane crashing is analogous to sigur ros tickets selling out before you could react? god you really have things outta wack. go outside. now.

Why read 3:04's post. It is not factually correct. This is just some idiot stating his opinion.

"if you got screwed in the buying process through an error screen, then you are not a dumbass, but this is not the website's fault. the tickets were sold out before you completed your necessary information."

This is just wrong. It was actually the website's error. The Cvent people even said it was. Then they claimed well we just provide the service. Moma set it up so talk to them.

So actually 3:04 should shut the fuck up.

no Im talking about that email that we got that said we got tickets, but then it turns out, we didnt get tickets.

FRIED TOMATO BRAINS GARGLE THE PAIN LUNCHROOMS. YOU HAVE THE TICKETS AND YOU HAVE THE GIRL. SMILE YOU DUMMY. EVERY FROZEN CUP OF PEACH VODKA MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

does anyone know if we can pick up hard tickets prior to the day of the show?

guys, what a ridiculous day, lets hope this is not a sign of things to come, remember Sonic Youth this thursday!

The ticket link popped up on the info page for the show at 11:55 AM.

Where it used to say "tickets go on sale Tues at noon" a link popped up.

NOW PLEASE STOP ASKING

BEST
THREAD
OF
RESPONSES
EVER!

I kept clicking the link to buy tickets beginning at 11:55am. It kept routing me to an invalid page. Then, at 12:00pm, it routed me to the correct page. I got tickets no problem. And my job has the absolute worst internet connection.

When ordering shit online, cross your Ts and dot your Is (and your lower-case Js). It's not MOMA's fault so many people got shut out. They had 800 tickets and more than 800 people were vying for them at once. Is the math that difficult to understand?

and, folks...that would be a fine example of what we in the business call a redundant question. that concludes our lesson for today. play again next time sigur ros comes to town. and remember, no bitchin' and no snitchin'. goodnight austin, texas wherever you are.

honestly, even if the website errored, you still had equal opportunity. you had the same chance as everyone else to get tickets. the chance of the website erroring was no more for you than it was for anyone else attempting to get tickets at the time. if anything, god does not want you to see sigur ros.

you shouldn't blame the website, because even though it was fucked, you still had the same chance of being fucked as everyone else. if the website wasn't erroring, there could have been another thing preventing you from getting tickets. the internet guarantees equal opportunity, even when websites error, since the entire concept of the internet's public nature means everyone has the exact same statistical likelihood of getting tickets/having the website error on them (unless working on multiple computers).

blame chance, blame god, blame fate, blame yourself, but don't blame the website. don't blame moma. don't blame sigur ros. don't blame other people. because, according to pure logic and statistics, you are pointing fingers in the wrong direction.

now... everyone.shut.the.fuck.up.

from the moma site:

http://moma.org/calendar/poprally/upcoming.php

"A registration number for this event does NOT mean that you sucessfully purchased tickets. If you did not receive a credit-card payment confirmation, then you DO NOT have tickets for this event. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience."

there you have it. see you in the funny papers!

after almost 170 posts, we get it. some people didn't get it. lots of people tried. hello...world. that's what happens with concerts. can we stop contributing the same fucking verse over and over here. stick a fork in it people, it's fucking DONE!

oh, and yes, goodnight austin, texas wherever you are. zappa rules.

Again stupid fucking idiots. Website error has nothing to do with chance or luck ya dumb ass motherfuckers. Chance and Luck is you trying to get tickets the same as everyone else and just not getting em. You having beaten the others to get the tickets and having them reserved in your queue only to have the website screw it up is a totally different thing and yes Moma should do something to correct that for the people that happened to. I bet that did not happen to that many people. Most of the people whining and bitching are the ones who simply went in at 12 and were too late on the draw.

Again for those of you this happened to, bombard Moma this week with angry calls. Demand they correct the error and do the right thing and show up Tuesday night and be fucking loud at the door when they say your confirmation is not there after you give the number. They may not let you in but give em a taste of the headache you are feeling today.

This same thing happened to someone I know for another show. They had their tickets in their basket and the computer screwed up. It was for an even tighter show than this one. They called the organizers and gave their info. They looked it up on the system and saw they had their tickets held and guess what, they fixed the problem and got them into the show.

^^hey dude, stfu. this game is over. we all get it. bye bye.

Hello again. Now that we understand this this MOMA event will have free wine and cheese, we are no longer playing your loft in Bushwick.

If you possibly provide chips and salsa, we may reconsider.

better yet, we'll have black lips there peeing in your chips and salsa. please come play our loft! dafty punk will be there. and, we'll all have our bandana necklaces on and keys around our belt loops. come back sigur ros brahz!

Dear Obviously Anonymous 5:14.

Will you and your dickweed friends be the ones building a larger room at MOMA for the scores of knuckleheads that don't know how to checkout on a system that isn't ticketweb or ticketmaster?

old news. NEXT!

Apparently 5:18p they dont get it so go fuck your mother. And actually for the number of angry people i bet who show up on Tuesday night giving confirmation numbers trying to get in the game is far from over.

^^sniffle....whaaaaa. hey, dude. i'll be at the show, in a dress. come find me so i can kick your sorry fucking cry baby ass all over manhattan.

anyone else remember the days when sigur ros wasn't popular enough in the U.S. to have this problem happen? i do. they were golden.
...i was looking forward to seeing them tuesday, but alas, such is life that it didn't work out.
on to bigger and better things: what do people think of their new album that also posted today?

Anonymous 4:12 - get a name/alias and maybe someone would not ignore you. I mean, you're anonymous, if you're really crying change your name so we dont all presume you are an ironic hipster.

Haha I am not even going Tues night. I am going Monday night. I was only pointing out what actually happened to some people including myself which had nothing to do with anything you idiots were saying happened. I still think angry people should harrass Moma and go there the night of the show. I will not be one of them but they do deserve it for this shit.

You on the other hand, 5:33pm will still be a little bitch in a dress pretending to be a tough guy behind a computer. Pathetic.

just got two.

^^^LOL!

i just got two also! i'm inviting 5:39 since he seems SPECIAL.

5:39 here and thanks 5:51pm but i wont be able to join you that evening as i will be fucking your gf that night. Apparently she is sick and tired of being fucked by a guy with a 1 inch cock and a staying power of about 10 seconds. She needs a SPECIAL guy to fuck her brains out. Thanks for the ticket offer anyway loser.

5:39 so totally wears a che guevara shirt he bought on st marks last week

At least make the comments funny. That was weak

haha. totally. 5:39 indeed wears a che shirt. you douche.

arakias,

yes. i was crying.
but maybe you can answer my question
did a link to the tickets become available several minutes before 12pm??

I have two tickets. My girlfriend who I was supposed to go with just broke up with me. If you would like to come with me, send me an email and if you seem cool and not busted I'll take you to the show.

this isn't a joke

terraplane21@gmail.com

seriously, i'm not kidding

crap. ferCRYINoutloud. it's 10:05pm and people are still bitching about this? have people never tried to get tickets for a small show which sold out quickly? used the internet? welcome to the world. get over it 'cause it ain't gonna get easier in life. go pick a different band to listen to. maybe kanye who plays big shows and plays venues bigger than his enormous ego.

Yes Anon 9:00 pm, the tickets went on sale at 11:58 on my clock. The actual site listed ticket on sale time sometime earlier today at the best but I only looked today. I knew what day the on sale was because of BV though, so thats when I checked today.

Sorry that you were crying.

whaaaaaaaaaaaah. baby.

See? Lots of people have their clocks fucked up. Like Anon 9:58 pm: "It's 10:05 pm".

um, that would be the bv clock, you dork. atomic clocks don't lie.

i think people are still posting comments to bring the comment count up to 200 - almost there!

200!

thanks so much arakis
i really appreciate it.
it's just that sigur ros is in my top 3 favorite bands and i can't believe i missed them twice in one month.
i guess i will have to wait for a possible fall date.

i missed them twice too!!! i've been listening to them since they showed up on the cover of the wire years ago before their discs were available here and you had to find on ebay as import. BUT I'M STILL NOT BITCHING A DAY LATER I DIDN'T GET IN SO SUCK IT UP EVERYONE! peace. and luuuuuv. xo.

ha! I just got an e-mail from MoMA with much apologies, and offer of two complimentary tickets to the museum, which is a 40 dollar value. So I guess complaining does work. That guy who said to complain, was right.

The confirmation number you received for June 17, 2008, PopRally Presents: Sigur Rós was an ERROR.

Unfortunately, there will not be tickets or a reservation number in your name at the door on the night of the event. Due to the high level of interest, tickets sold out in under two minutes. All tickets were SOLD OUT prior to your registration, and your credit card was NOT charged. This was indicated by your purchase price of $0.00.

We sincerely apologize for this confusion and for any inconvenience. On behalf of PopRally we wish to extend to you two free admission tickets to The Museum of Modern Art. Please e-mail us at poprally@moma.org with your name and address in order to redeem your tickets to the Museum.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,

PopRally staff

PopRally,

Thanks for putting on this bitchin' event. I look forward to the unlimited wine and cheese.

Yours truly,
IGOTTICKETSLOL

Oh My God. You had to put up a reminder, didn't you? Thanks a lot BitchfaceVegan from those of us that have been reminding ourselves all week and who really had a desire to go to this show and not just purchase tickets to sell for $300 on Craigslist. I hope this show is full of mommy and daddy spoiled little rich hipster brats that not only have never been to the MoMA ut also have no idea what it stands for. You suck vegan.

Speaking of craigslist....

why is the free wine a draw here? have you guys never been to any of the countless sponsored parties that happen in the city practically every day?

though i guess going for free alcohol makes more sense that going for the music, because if the past poprally shows are an indication, you'll be lucky to find anyone actually paying attention to the music. good luck trying to get everyone to stop talking for more than a second.

NEWSFLASH!!!!!!

Ok so before all you fools sell off your first born for tickets to the MOMA show, it was posted on their message board today by someone involved with the band that this show WILL NOT be a full set from the band. It will be a short 5 or 6 song performance during the evening. Much like the Cat Power show there and much like their Heima screening performances last year.

So relax and chill out. If you got tickets to the Grand Ballroom that is the show you want to be at. Unless of course you really are griping cause you are missing out on free wine and cheese. But if you are then you have bigger problems than just not getting a ticket.

How long is the performance? What time do they go on?

Thanks so much for organizing this event. Im extremely excited!

-xxxx

Unfortunately, poprally-offical email, they really have no idea which is why they say WE HOPE. I went to the Cat Power thing previously and the organizers were saying the same thing. That it was going to be a full hour performance. It wasnt.
I would go with what the band's people are saying. They never said "we hope"

From what I know of Poprally events, I wouldn't buy tickets from other people. They aren't going to have real tickets for this event which means it'll only be a list at the door. Those Craig list tickets are more a less a scam.

Is 9pm the confirmed start time??? What time do the doors open? I can't wait to get drunk with the free money I took down from scalping for the show.
