New Order won't add a second night. Maybe an additional U.S. city, but there's no much time left for promoters. So I don't know what opportunities it leaves to NO fans other than buying tickets at a fucked up price.  I hope you're wrong about any possibility of a second night, but I can see your point. The example I was thinking of was the recent Snow Patrol dates. I don't think NO is doing this tour as a drum up to bigger venues, so you might be right, but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. If they've got 10 tickets to sell, that means that seller had more than one person was buying them up because 8 was the limit! or they have more than one credit card. |

Unfortunately there are 'pro scums' out there that scrape up the presale tix and sell for profits later. This really f's up the true fans.
I know that the Los Angeles date/venue for the Greek Theater Los Angeles (OCT 09) goes on sale on 8/4 --- with no presale info released yet.
Still, I searched stubhub.com --- and saw about 10 listings ( ~ 40 tix) for sale at ~ $200 - $400. Where did they get their tix?
Good luck with search for more OAK tix. I hope they add a second date for OAK --- in fact add 10/6 for OAK and add another LA date for 10/8!

Well there is an opening in their schedule before the Oakland date, they should add a date at the Greek. Dallas show did not sell out immediately...I didn't manage to get online until Friday night, and managed to bag my ticket...should have purchased extras...

That matches my take on this. Saw the StubHub site too, don't know how they've secured these tickets unless they have an arrangement with the official ticket agent. Doesn't look great. Is this standard in the States....for secondary sellers to advertise tickets before the official pre/public sales have even started ?!.

so is anyone going to plan a meet up for pre-show? was looking at Fox website -- i've been there once and only drank at the bar next door Rudy's Can't Fail, which was good but pricey. Was thinking this place sounded real good and you can't go wrong with $5 mexican beers in a major city. Any thoughts? www.xolotaqueria.com

Any thoughts? www.xolotaqueria.com Someone more local can probably chime in but I don't know if Xolo would be the right choice. It's more of a simple Mexican restaurant that probably wouldn't be thrilled with people lingering after their meals and boozing it up. Only Mexican beer on the menu. The Fox has a nice bar, but can't comment on the food. I've eaten at Flora across the street, but that might be a bit too upscale and crowded for our purposes. It would be nice to find something close as I'll probably stay in San Francisco and get to the venue by BART, which has a station a block away. Again, someone from the Bay Area will probably have a solution.

The bar/restaurant at The Fox is nice.
I haven't secured a ticket yet, but I'm planning on going regardless of the expense.
Bruce B just so happens to be visiting me from Toronto that weekend, so 2/3 of the crew behind Recycle will be there.

Reckon we'll do the same as Andy and stay in SF. We stayed near Union Square in '05 and got the Bart back, was pretty easy. Going out there we took a cab, some Russian driver - apparently there's loads of Ruski's in SF? - anyway he took us round the houses, even went to some Basketball Arena first and tried to rip us off. Imagine his surprise when one of our lot started speaking to him in Russian & gave him some sound advice ;-). Good work Johnny Boots.

The bar at the Fox is nice, was there for Band of Horses in 09 - had Anderson Valley on tap which made me very happy. It was pricey though. As a fan of Recycle, I may need to buy some drinks if 2/3 of the crew behind it is coming.

I think you will be much better of staying in SF...I stayed in Oakland for the NO/Chembros gig in 05...and there was NOTHING to do afterwards...except for watching the ambulance cart that one chick off...we couldn't find any place to get a beer...and you don't wanna get too far away from downtown in Oakland...

Alright. We are almost two weeks out. I'm coming from the East Coast, and this is my one New Order show this time around, after hitting 4 in 2005. Who is taking point on setting up a meet up prior to the show? Will I be able to secure a Viking Badge?? Will @newordernow ever acknowledge my tweets requesting Thieves Like Us?? Who the hell is opening the show??
Let's get this Friday night party started right!

Any new suggestions for a meetup? Open to San Francisco or Oakland locations as long as they're near a BART station.
