Well that was fun while it lasted.

Ahh. This was supposed to be a demo transaction. All these orders are going to be cancelled with a full refund coming. Everyone who bought tickets will receive a cancellation email today, followed by a refund. Oh well.

a test event with a real band at a real venue at a time when they're touring doesn't seem like the smartest move. bummer.

"IS YOUR NAME BART?!"

Thanks for the hookup though Bobby, even though it wasn't real. You get the notices like a hawk.

Word must have gotten around...

You're welcome. I was trying to be helpful

BTW: Is Gaslight playing Riot Fest Philly July 21?

Pollstar still has the event and ticket link listed #FAIL

Nope, not that I know of. Riot Fest (the 3 day) got cancelled for Philadelphia. Now it is only a Refused/Promise Ring show on the 19th. They said they were going to make it up to us in September by having another Riot Fest in Philly. That I have 0 info on.

Still hoping for that Philly/AP show...

July 21 would've been perfect for me since I will be at the DC show July 20.

Florida we get no real shows--just the DeLuna Fest 6 hours away

Most likely Pollstar farms info from ticket websites and then posts them. Since this was a real band, at a real venue, on their website, it got posted.

If ticketfly is going to test in production, they should be using fake bands, in fake venues with fake dates. Really, they should be using a test environment.

Good Points

If anyone has 2 extra tickets or can't go to the Minneapolis, MN show, let me know! I'm looking for tickets and unfortunately it sold out before I could get the money for them and stubhub sellers have theirs at $50/ticket!

compared to some of the other shows that's a bargain!!

I'll also be at the DC show. Really excited that the venue is right next to Bens Chili Bowl. Place is incredible.

it's a really interesting venue choice. they typically have dj's/drum&bass type shows. i have never seen a live act there.

Seeing them in 17 days in Portland!! I'm so freaking pumped!

BTW, I might have an extra ticket for this show [which I'd sell at face value ($24)]... PM me if you're interested. It's will call, so you'd have to meet me at the ticket window, unless I could figure something else out.

Since my bitching was in the UK thread, I'll come to this thread to say I hope Gaslight plays an actual tour after "Handwritten" comes out in the states.

Carry on.

They are going to have a proper tour.

I interviewed Alex L on Saturday. Will be posted soon.

This I assumed. I understand the summer is and was for festivals and getting back into the swing of things. That US fall tour is supporting, not headlining, and then it's back to the UK. I guess it will be nice that the Handwritten tour will be a good amount months after release, seeing that fans will be much more familiar

There's only 8 days between the end of the Rise Against tour and the Euro tour. I don't think they're going to be able to do a full tour until November, which while technically Fall, is really more like Winter.

I half wondered if they were holding off on planning a US tour just to see how Handwritten did, and if they could play bigger venues. That may be a stretch though.

OR maybe other opportunities came up that they couldn't miss.

I don't know much about this stuff, but if Handwritten does well and they break out in the US and everyone's like "who are these guys?" and they're off in Europe, isn't that a missed opportunity? Especially since it's not like Europe has no clue who they are the way people don't here.

That was kinda my point. But, between the festivals and the Rise Against opening dates, they're probably making quite a bit more. Plus, opening for Rise Against might introduce them to some new fans, but I think there is quite a bit of audience overlap between the two.

Either way, I'm sure they'll be around the states as was said, but I agree that it'll be odd if they don't have a real US tour until November and the album comes out in July.
