Either there is some big technical SNAFU on their end or Gaslight is WAY more popular now than ever. Or, they put like 3 tickets on sale.

No SNAFU. I called them and they said they are definitely all gone.

Did they say how many of them they put in the presale? 10? 11? 12.5?

Anyone know the cap of this place? I felt like it was around 500-700. Just gotta be there right when they go for the public onsale.

About 600 actually, haha.

usually presales like that are only a small number of tickets. I've had this issue with Brand New tickets, they use the same thing for their presales....although they always play much smaller places than they can realistically play.

Asbury was like this in October pre-sale and a few popped up on pre sale later that day but Conveiton Hall is like 7x the size of this place

She wouldn't say anything other than "an extremely small number." The venue only holds 550. This will be a tough ticket no question.

Bunch of people saying the same thing on Gaslight's Facebook page. Well either something's wrong or this is our life as a Gaslight fan now, fighting for a ticket. *shrug*

this makes me wish i had gotten into them a lot sooner. Apparently I was living under a rock or something.

Site says: the band wanted to make sure their fans had the first opportunity to purchase tickets to Gaslight's upcoming show.For their show at Music Hall of Williambsburg, The Gaslight Anthem will be offering tickets here before they go on sale to the general public!!

As you can see by the responses on this site; all of the fans got their tickets.

Just got through and got tiX!!!

haha yeah right. they should have announced it through their newsletter or something less public.

It sucks for those interested but this shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Most bands are lucky to get 10-15% of tickets for a presale. I'm assuming they had 75 tickets at most, probably more like 50.

Congrats, not asking for your tickets, but can you send some luck my way, hahaha.

Just keep hitting refresh. I did that for 20 minutes in a row and they came back up. "Will call" only no option for mailing the tickets.

I got shut out and kept refreshing like a nut and at 10:03 I was able to land 2 tickets and got through checkout. Tickets are will-call only.

Anyhow, thing is – I accidentally bought 2 and I only needed 1 because my wife can't go with me. So since I am pretty nice, I am going to offer up 1 ticket for the price I Just paid ($34) to anyone who wants to Paypal me the money in advance of the show). We can arrange to meet up before the show so I can get you in the door.

Keep refreshing guys, I think they might be releasing like 6 at a time or something.

Solid move on your part.

I think what's happening is that some credit card orders get cancelled and tix go back into the pot.

Sir brad, if it is still abailable, I would love the ticket. I can paypal ASAP. Ericlange@Verizon.net is my email.

I think I'm in denial about how popular they really are!

But if people are getting through after hitting 'refresh' a bunch of times (which I was doing too), then I dunno what's going on. The only other time this happened was when Prince announced tickets for some show. So Gaslight=Prince now I guess?

Bleh. I'll just file this under 'another wasted morning on a pre-sale.' At least there's still Friday's sale. Good luck to everyone!

I kept hitting refresh for a good 20min. But I have to go back to work. ugh!

I was anxious about this all morning, was online and refreshed the page when the second hand hit the 12 at 10:00 this morning. Immediately shut out. I won't sleep until the general public onsale on friday.

Prince does play a tele from time to time...........Can't wait for people to exploit that comparison hahaha.

I had a dream last night that they changed the onsale time to 4am and that I missed it because I was listed at 10am when I went to bed.
