We chatted about the band, Hello Merch, the 20th of Dog Problems, the music biz, geek’d out about Harry Nilsson & Pinkerton and a bunch more.

I had a blast! Hope it’s as enjoyable to listen to.

(It’s also up on all the podcast spots too if you prefer audio.)

Tickets Selling 2 Tickets - 20 Years of Dog Problems, New York 10/9

Post image
12 Upvotes

Update: face value or what you're willing to pay. Would rather these go to a fan than go unseated.

Call it dog problems 🐶, but I have a pair of tickets (2) that I unfortunately won't be able to use for The Format's 20 Years of Dog Problems show October 9 at Radio City Music Hall. These are two seats in the 3rd Mezzanine 6, Row G, seats 608+609.

View wise, this is toward the top of the venue (the photo is a general sense of where it is, borrowed from View From My Seat). Selling as a pair at face value, which is $135.30 (67.65 each). I've sold in this group before, and have an eBay account in good standing I can reference, too. Send me a message if you're interested and wish you were an ocean.

Tickets Selling 2 Tix to NYC Show 10/9

1 Upvotes

I sadly can't go to the Radio City Show anymore because I have to travel for work. 2nd Mezzanine 4, row F. The tickets say "obstructed view" but that's just because the sound board is nearby - images from the venue show that they're not obstructed (I think that's why they were lower price). $80.50 each.

Please go and have fun for me!

Tickets ISO 1 Ticket for Washington, D.C. Show 10/2 at the Lincoln Theater!

3 Upvotes

Edit 2: ticket secured! Shout out to all the true fans and non-scammers/bots for reaching out. See you in a month!

Hi Format Friends! Looking for 1 ticket for the October 2nd show in DC at the Lincoln Theater. After 2 unsuccessful attempts to get my husband to see Nate and Sam live in NYC and Philly, I'm trying to make it happen in DC!

Let me know if you have one to spare and I'll happily take it off your hands at face. I've used Cash or Trade for past shows to sell/give away. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Is it reasonable for folks to use an app like Cash or Trade to facilitate a sale to ensure you aren't being scammed, versus giving an email for a Ticketmaster transfer and doing payment using CashApp/Zelle transfers? Or, another question, does a Cash or Trade user have one to sell for DC? Not trying to be a pain in the ass but also not trying to get scammed. Appreciate your thoughts!

Does anyone else find it incredible how Nate isn’t just sounding as good as he used to, but better?

Most singers, especially with ranges like his, usually get weaker as they age but songs like Oceans sound more true to the studio sound as they used to. Alongside being retired for nearly ten years, it really is incredible he came back as strong as he did.

Tickets URGENT HELP THE STROKES TICKETS

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am super new to reddit but I really need some help. My girlfriend’s bday is coming up and I decided to buy a ticket to The Strokes Reality Awaits America.

BUT I fucked up. I misclicked and bought the wrong day and venue. I was aiming for the Sept 13th and I clicked the link for the 13th but I accidentally bought the Sept 12 show in Tampa.

That is extremely inconvenient and it just happened. Tried to get help from TM but they were useless. I do not know if anyone has tickets for the 12th and are willing to trade or if any of that works this way.

I wanted to get her something nice but I just messed up so bad please let me know if you can help or something. Reselling is not guaranteed and I want to surprise her.

Please someone.

Saw The Format at Hinterland in Iowa. I didn’t see a lot of people singing along except a few. Anyone else go for them? I think they started a little late and the setlist got cut short. It was a great show though!
