Kraftwerk

i am covering this as press - i may get in that way, though they are strictly limiting press as well

spoke to the moma press department this morning - they say they have been inundated with press requests - as you can imagine, every blogger/magazine/newspaper in NYC wants to be on the list for this

capacity is quite a bit below 1000

i will be in NYC anyway the week of April 11, so a Kraftwerk commiseration party sounds like a plan!!

Sorry - but since there was such high demand and a limited number of tickets available - this event has sold out! We wish there was more inventory available, but space was very limited. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you!

TEE

:(

yeah i am trying to get press tickets too, they are friendly but when i emailed last week the guy was like "hey, you could always try your luck next week"

aw, TEE sold out and i did not win despite being in queue at 12:00:30 :(

TEE HEE

i tried for radio-activity and failed

according to Showclix on twitter, all 8 kraftwerk shows are now sold out

i figured this would be a 'limited press only' event, yeah, like music editors of high-profile print only, but one never knows, sometimes...

i am kind of sad tbh

Well, I think we will still come up for the show at PS 1.

have we all learned nothing from 77 Boadrums. never 4get.

well, I had.

yes i will go to that in lieu
xp

i have never been to PS1 anyway!

everyone i think i'll have a commiseration/bday party on friday the 13th.

i'll always have my PULP coup of orch row b tickets to hold on to.

:)

What's the PS1 thing? Won't that be inundated as well?

now I have an extra $25-35 to put toward my MLB.TV payment!

"A presentation of Kraftwerk’s historical audio and visual material is on view at MoMA PS1, April 10–May 14, 2012."

Sort of curious about it. Nothing on their site yet though.

I got into Radio-Activity. I did it. Oh my God. I feel like I survived a nuclear winter.

yeah it says at the bottom of their press release and on most website articles talking abt the shows, it says:
Kraftwerk at MoMA PS1
As part of Kraftwerk–Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, a presentation of Kraftwerk’s historical audio and visual material will be on view in the new MoMA PS1 Performance Dome at MoMA PS1, from April 10-May 14, 2012.

congrats!

scalpers, already - look at those prices!

i could kill a thousand scalpers with a hatchet and not lose a night's sleep

a friend managed 30 tickets via a command line script

(passing on to friends not scalping tho)

i hate your friend

i though these were impossible to scalp since they are will call and you need a valid id though?

i also hate your friend, although to be fair, i hate a lot of people this afternoon

weak

sorry but I hope your friend can't use them because of the ID thing (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

it's a competitive world

i hope your friend gets stabbed in the heart by a robber

isn't it kinda appropriate that robots took all the tickets

fucking robots

I will go to a Joan Blondell film at MoMA one of those nights and sneak in, ha HA

i was wondering if it would be possible to hide out overnight, mixed-up files of mrs. basil e. frankweiler style

i bet if you had a good enough novelty costume you could walk right in. people would just assume you were good to go.

Wow, what a tremendously fucked-up thing to do. How would the ticket company not catch that?

yeah cuz that's never happened before

fauxmarc's friend is the reason we can't have nice things

seriously though, protip free of charge: don't go onto a thread full of people that tried and failed to get one ticket so you can str8 brag about the friend that cheated the system to get 30 tickets

...or they'll cry

its just kind of a dick move tbrr

why do you hate robots so much

This is shit, sorry for you guys.
A big YAY for Clarke B's Radio-Activity ticket though!

Morbs' hiding in the bathroom of the Titus strategy OTM

brilliant!

For the record, I was not one of Fauxmarc's dickfriend's 30 robot recipients! My girlfriend logged on right at noon (I had to be away from my computer) and got us tix after a long wait, and being kicked off like twice... I couldn't believe it, and the shock deepens as I keep discovering just how many people tried and didn't get them. Sorry for everyone, and I wish my apartment was big enough to house you all for the big Kraftwerk LP listening party I'm throwing for my "IRL" pals that weekend (none of whom got in either).

When I rule the world I will outlaw online bookings and make people wait in line at the box office for tickets. This is the only system that even begins to make sense. I remember when ppl used to camp outside box offices for 24 hours to be in line for Springsteen and U2 tickets, if you were prepared to do that you got your tickets. Obviously it would mean that people who can't get to the box office would lose out but I think something has to give.

tickets should just be auctioned
