The Troubadour: West Hollywood April 24

[faninor]

Looks like this show is "off sale" now -- sold out already or did somebody remember the balcony incident from the last time they played there?

[faninor]

It is sold out -- good job OLP! The Troubadour fits about 500 people. I don't think they've sold out a southern California show this quickly since the Viper Room residency 7 years ago (capacity there is ~250). The Viper Room show last year didn't sell out until the day of the show, I think. On the Burn Burn tour, I don't remember how long the Troubadour show took to sell out but I think it took a week or two... and the Anaheim House of Blues (capacity ~1000) show that year probably had tickets still available at the door.

hopefully Raine doesn't damage anything this time... I'm surprised they let them come back... I could have sworn Raine mentioned something about a possible lawsuit!

[faninor]

It's true. That's Hollywood!

30% of the tickets for this show have turned up on stubhub. I wouldn't be surprised if the scalpers take some losses on this one. If a significant number of these go unused I wonder if they would oversell the show at the door.

we use to call those shows BOMBS.> meaning the scalpers took loses. As I wrote in Bowery link the closer it gets to show time. Usually about a few minutes before band ( headline comes on) they will sell them for much cheaper then price just to rid them. Hey any money is better then no money.. I will always remember the time my friend and I went to a show back in the day. the scalpers wanted 3x amount of show for front row. At time think it was about $80 for a 2 $25 ticket. We waited.. Finally he wanted some money so sold us both for $40..Less then original price of ticket.. lol..

[faninor]

Original cost (including per ticket fees, excluding shipping): $30.88
Lowest cost currently on stubhub.com: $24.70
Number of tickets currently available on stubhub.com below original cost: 53

Suck it, scalpers!

And here Josh was worried about buying tix before they sold out Should have waited and gotten the discount tickets.

Looks like Of Verona is opening. They played with OLP at the Viper Room last September, good stuff.

Aaaaand that's the tour for now! Paper Moon was not on the printed setlist but they played it. If This Is It was printed but scratched out and replaced with Rabbits. I was hoping that we might hear Julia or Blister, but that's okay. Thief sounded top notch (Kym agreed, and she's a tough crowd for vocals). Kym met Duncan and Jeremy for the 1st time after the show. Raine went for more of the high stuff in One Man Army than I recall hearing before!

No balcony climbing, so hopefully no lawsuits.

How was IAH

Listen to the NYC version and he totally screwed up the 2nd verse. I think Raine needs to relearn that song or let audience sing it. LOL

Sounds like you had a great time.. Maybe there was something in writing that said your SINGER CAN NOT CLIMB OR YOU CAN NOT PLAY HERE. Who knows..

Must of been a good show if Kym was impressed. I know she is a tough critic.
