Smashing Pumpkins in Plainsong: An Acoustic-Electro Intimate Evening

[Rider]

People complaining about not getting tickets and blaming the company selling tickets is endlessly annoying.

The main way tickets end up on Stub Hub is the artists themselves put a certain amount on stub hub.

[DemonUnicorns]

And pre-sales are the tool of the devil.

[thedeadofnight]

It's selling out so quick because the promo posters had Byrne and Fiorentino on them

OK, I'll reiterate, fucktwat. Fuck Ticketfly as a vehicle to provide your fans with tickets to your most intimate shows in years. I understand it's not directly Ticketfly's fault, it's Billy's for using this method. A certain amount? At 12:00 on the dot there were maybe 5% of the seats left, and there were no pairs. Forgive me for being annoyed, ya shit stain.

Ramdust. Treading on the snelfintines of desire.

First time I tried pre-sale tix on Thurs, it said none were available. I clicked "will not accept split seats" and was bounced to a waiting room. After about 3 1/2 minutes I got a pretty decent seat.

None of the promo picss for the KCMO show have any members other than Billy. I think this is a hot ticket because it is billed as the "first acoustic Pumpkins show".

[thedeadofnight]

Bizarre marketing considering it's in no way the first Smashing Pumpkins acoustic show.

[zbeast78]

17 bucks says the setlist is the same for each show

[Slurpee]

Finally doing the shows like he always should have done. Looking forward to it.

[run2pee]

This (and the non-sp songs at ravinia) is the only bill news in years that's got my boneflute perked about listening to bill. Haven't even been able to listen to pumpkins since those awful interviews awhile back.

Don't think I'll run2buy any tix tho that's kinda expensive

[IWishIWasBlank]

Update: Plainsongs will actually be featuring current touring co-headliner Marilyn Manson. This will be an intimate 17 hour show performed on small stages covered in blankets woven of only natural, organic, non-GMO gluten-free fibers. The music will be centered around the digeridoo music of the natives of Australia.

[chuckhagel]

Confirmed: Byrne back on drums for these shows

[chuckhagel]

so it looks like Smashing Pumpkins are now Billy, Marilyn Manson, and Mikey "Bearclubbin"

What do you guys think of this line-up?

Agreed. Monte is the one missing piece.

I've had visitors come from LA and New York to Dalston and spend time in the numerous beautiful independent cafes, bars, galleries, music venues and restaurants. All of them have said to me that it's their favourite district in the world. Then you have the beautiful Primrose Hill, Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath, Portebello Road, Broadway Market, Shoreditch, Chelsea etc all offering very different experiences. Out of all the cities in the world I've visited, London is by far my favourite.

London is full of cunts who think it's the centre of the world. It's also fucking disgusting.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

yeah i agree london sucks last time i was there i met this artisty dude from scotland and i was like you think you're so london don't you god it was awful

[Cool As Ice Cream]

my experience in the city is not limited. i bet i've been at every single starbucks in zone 1 and a couple of them in zone 2. don't you dare call that limited experience. i had litres of latte machiato and spent hours reading the internet from different locations all over london.
if anyone's childish, it's you, because you're so stuck in your conviction that london is fantastic and everyone who thinks otherwise must be wrong, ignorant, et cetera.
how rude!

[Cool As Ice Cream]

entrepeneurial spirit, my ass! what is this? the apprentice? ha! no wonder that's also based in london. this proves my point.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

yo alex, any chance you're in london 15-16?
i'm going 14-17, so 15-16 i have all day. hey, you never know. we can check out some more starbucks in zone 2 or maybe even venture out to zone 3 and discover some new territory.
party on the friday evening, btw. i can bring belgian beers.

[Forgotten Child]

fresh, interesting food? in london!? haha

[slunken]

Sounds horrible

[juliana]

NYC is a pretty amazing city. What are you comparing London to? Because you would have to compare it to somewhere like NYC and In n' out burger isn't everywhere in the USA.

[myosis]

is it true you need to co-bed with two other people now to afford living in london?

[FoolofaTook]

four to five, if your a hobbit

[myosis]

what's wrong with maple syrup?

[Forgotten Child]

How about sausages, beans, bacon and eggs? Delicious.
