I got that email, too. I think I'm obligated to go to Xeroderma's show opening for The Haunted that night....there are several shows of note on the 24th. (And I just found out that I forgot all about a show earlier this evening that I should have been at. )

If anyone goes, see Shauna for beer. She's the cute, little, red-headed one. (That oughtta narrow it down. :b)

Why is this happening? Is it because they're not selling tickets their shows?

I think this is cool, but kinda weird, too.

I'm not sure. I get emails all the time from ticketmaster for complimentary tickets to shows at Wild Bills. Usually they are for country acts though. I've always wondered if it's because the tickets aren't selling well.

This is pretty common for shows at Wild Bill's IME (rock ones anyway). Don't know why exactly, but don't much care either.

They never send me diddly-squat about FREE tickets, damn them!

That's odd! I've just never heard of a place giving away free tickets, unless they were forced to for some reason.

Great White recently played in my area, but they weren't giving away free tickets.

It happened for Skid Row, and one other band that I didn't go see (don't remember who), and that's been within the past year. So "fairly common"=3 times in a year for me I guess.

I guess they figure they're not going to make money on ticket sales, but if they can get people to come out, they will make a killing on alcohol sales. *shrug*

Did anyone else make it to this poorly attended show? Great White killed. I've been wanting to see that band live since 1986 and they did not disappoint. And coming just 6 days after seeing Y&T (finally) was the icing on the cake.

Oh, and the opening band, a local act called Lifeforce, was an absolute blast. They're a family act (a father and his three teenage kids) doing full-on AOR. They played a great mix of covers and original material, and seemed to be having a lot of fun on stage.

They've done this twice now in Hollywood for shows at the House of blues. First they put them on the 2 for Tues...then after a bit they'll send an email offering comps.

Maybe ticketmaster should cop a clue and reduce all their charges

 

[7thSaviour]

That would make way too much common sense!
