Dude WTF. I had this fuckin date set in my phone for literally two months. Well, apparently so did 1,000+ other people cause the concert sold out, I didn't get in and at least 50 other people ran into the same problem. I ended up drinking at electric avenue for about 3 hours trying to find someone anyone with an extra ticket. Believe me, I wasn't the only one.
You pretty much had three options. Give up and go home, find somewhere that also had the orange wrist bands that night, or three sneak through the back door. Trying all three, your chances weren't great.
Honestly though, listening in the back alley wasn't half bad. The band sounded decent and after the first song the lead signer ( one of the mother fuckers graduated from Nichols ) said "yeah i talked to my band manager and he said why the hell would you wanna go to Buffalo" Well evidently we in Buffalo love good music, and especially from people that have ties to the area. Hot under ground, blog drool inducing indie rock bands take note. We can fill up a concert room quickly and easy.
Only regret is that this doesn't happen more often. PS Passion Pit, see you at Lollapalooza [sic]
