Gorilla Biscuits @ CBGB Sold Out?

Clearly the most popular CBGB benefit show is Gorilla Biscuits on August 14th, 2005. I read on another site that there wouldn’t be advanced tickets. Then there were no tickets when the other shows went on sale. Then I woke up to an inbox full of emails about this. Here are some excerpts…

“i checked ticketweb at 2:00 and there were no new cbgb benefit shows on sale. at 445 it said that Gorilla Biscuits/ Black Train Jack would go on sale at 5:00. At 5:03, all the tickets were sold out. i didnt see or hear info about this onsale time anywhere and still, 350 tickets sold out in 3 mins…”

“We totally blew it on the Gorilla Biscuits tickets.”

“I refreshed every 2 seconds, literally, and nothing happened until a few minutes after 5. At 5:03 it started jumping back and forth from “Tickets Not On Sale Yet” to “No Tickets Available Through Ticketweb”. I knew they’d go fast, but there was some kind of glitch in the Ticketweb process. There was never a “Buy Tickets” option, and even if everyone jumped in before me there’s no reason for the site to go back and forth saying the sale hasn’t started to the tickets are gone.”

The good news is, I’m almost positive CBGB isn’t selling all the tickets for any of the shows in advance. They sell about 150 (number taken from comments on previous post) and the rest are at the door. AND, if we ask nicely, maybe Walter (and band) will play more than one show.
