Just received this mail from Radio City Music Hall:

Dear Ticket Holder:

Please be advised that The Sisters of Mercy performance scheduled to take place at Radio City Music Hall on Friday, September 20, 2024 has been cancelled.

Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster or directly through the Radio City Music Hall Box Office will automatically be refunded to the original purchaser's credit card account. Please note that you should expect to receive your refund in as soon as 30 days.

We thank you for your understanding and look forward to your continued patronage.

Sincerely,
Radio City Music Hall

Ditto. I guess they felt that they didn't sell enough tickets to make the thing worth doing. Keeping my fingers crossed that there will be some late-breaking news, "Goth godfathers The Sisters Of Mercy to play Neil's living room on Friday September 20."

Moved to Brooklyn Paramount

Fuckin' NICE! Mostly standing, 2700 capacity so should be nice and cozy.

@mods please can we have a new title for this thread to reflect the change in venue?

Or do we need an entirely new thread?

Oh FFS.....was walking distance from hotel before. Still, least it's on !

There are also no good bars in the hood, so we may need to get our pregame on in the city before venturing into Darkest Brooklyn!

Same for me. Send you an PM.

Righto. Thread title now updated along with the other two

Great move! This is an old movie palace that was converted into a venue for LIU's basketball team for decades. They'd left the roof and a lot of the architecture, then tore up the court. I read this only just opened a few months ago. Looks like an awesome venue, and it's close to a lot of subway lines.

Not the typical pre-game venue, but Junior's is literally across the block and they do have a bar. And of course, the famous cheesecake.

Sorted! Ticket prices WAY more reasonable ($50 for GA on the floor).

Is anyone opting for the add-ons (exclusive bars/loos, coatcheck, early admission)? Wondering if it's worth doing - thoughts?

As Charlie has just observed, sounds now like how it should have been from the beginning. Really nice to hear plans have changed for the better (besides the hotel proximity misfortune!), and really nice for all you lucky folk attending to have fear of cancellation replaced by something to properly look forward to

Got that Ella’s lounge thing too just for the promise of a less crowded bar

Pre beer at House of Wax, 445 Albee Square W #4410, Brooklyn, NY 11201 Draught ales and a wax museum all in one !! 4 min walk away 0,2 miles. Anyone been or recommend/ warn off ?

I was looking at that - good selection of brews, to be sure, but shockingly No Guinesss (with or without black), and their vodka selection is terrible. Might have to bite the bullet and consider the Ella's Lounge add-on in the hopes of being able to drink.

I have 2 tickets to give away because I had to cancel my trip to NY ... before they expire because Ticketmaster/Live Nation don't allow fansale, I'd rather give them away for free.... GA, club Access, fast lane .... anyone interested?

Hello @LucyFurr & welcome to
Hope you find some takers for the tickets

Ok, muzzerfückers - we're at T minus 48 hours. What's the current thinking about pre-gaming at a local bar, or are we all going for the ticket add-on for access to the "exclusive" bar at the venue?

We’ve got the add on anyway, and since the weather forecast says it could be a tad wet and we’ve hit the US with no coats or even hoodies……
