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
