The Cure

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

That's on dime right now aswell as sh!tars101 & it's a terrific recording too

Seeing lots of glitches reported on the ticket bastard site.
A lot of folks saying to use just one browser.
Also seeing ticket bastard adding up to 40% in fees on top of the face value.
RS has done his level best to have reasonably priced tickets available & those greedy fcuks are taking the p*ss.
Also, bare this in mind next time live nation/ ticket bastard are demanding you sell a kidney.

Cheers.

Are you on the wait list?
I assume you registered for the 'lottery' first.
If you're on the wait list then you need to wait until you get a code I believe.
A lot of people are finding that out judging by my twitter feed.

Got mine in L.A. however it was far from plain sailing. Got booted out and recycled twice before finally bagging one two sections back.

Yes there is a fan sale $25 ticket which appears to be a long way back, but ticket bastard are adding $22 in fees

The process was a nerve-wracking pain in the arse (many browser issues, despite keeping only one window open as directed). I ended up spending far more $$ than I'd intended, owing to the !@#$%^& TicketB@stard fees. The end result? Almost a whole week's take-home pay in one fell swoop. Better be worth it! Ho-hum. :( :evil: :roll:
I left my heart in Ballycastle... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Got my tix for the Hollywood Bowl two nights after the Sisters show at the Paladium.

There's a whole lotta goff going down that week, I must say!

Maybe I've missed it, but I don't understand why more is not being made of this... I mean. this clearly suggests that artists have been complicit in the price gouging of fans.
The idea that fans will stop going is never really going to happen but they should hold artists accountable. I think The Cure's stand on this has been one of the most heartening things I've seen in a long time...

I have seen The Cure in Munich last year (which was affordable, as it's in Europe, thanks a lot) and I firmly believe that Robert is a very nice guy (besides that I like what he's doing), just because of how he reacted to the audience (humble, and honoured, and appreciative, and he gave a lot back). So it's no wonder that he should be the one to challenge the ticketing system in the US. The Cure, in my opinion, never wanted to rip anyone off. And they don't want anybody else to do that by using their name.

Having gone to the Hollywood Bowl show on the 27th... my first time seeing the Cure... let me just say that was astoundingly good. Also, playing PLAINSONG f**king wrecked me. Damn...

Wowser, I never thought I'd see the day. On a related, did any fellow Cureheads manage to nab a copy of the super limited edition November: Live in Paris 2022 single released last month? I only just heard about it and am kicking myself for missing it. I can't even find any rips online....
