For those interested, 5 hours after tickets went on sale for NY floor seats are still available.  While this sounds great to me (since I thought I might have a tough time getting good seats for 5 shows) it really makes me wonder why The Cure are playing such large venues.

Well, they are a big band :)

Here in southamerica they would full stadiums without any problem I can guarantee. Remember in Mexico 2004, they had to open two more dates because they sold more than 20 000 tickets (the capacity of the mexican venue) in a few hours. Maybe in the US, where they have played so many times they are not so crazy about The Cure like in southamerica? :)

i can't help but thinking the same. i mean, are they still THAT big in the US? despite everything i'd like to think personally, i really don't think so. i don't doubt that they'd sell out a stadium in south america but in the US, i think it's different.
and madison square garden is pretty huge... (maybe they don't even plan to use/sell the whole venue?)

for comparison, how were they selling on the dream tour US dates? from what i was pointed out they actually did play some pretty small venues a lot of places and when they played some big ones then some of these actually sold pretty poorly.
so this makes me a bit afraid for them....! i hope it works for them.

The one thing that I think they have going for them is that they're only playing 20 dates and some big markets, like Detroit are left off.  That means that a lot of fans will be traveling that may not otherwise.

Playing the Garden (and other such venues) seems like a wonderful idea to me. It means that US fans won't have to go through the same despair some other fans have had to, and which US fans have had to in the past; it means that there probably won't be a horrible blitz for tickets, which allows fans to purchase tickets at a time other than the first day they're on sale, and still have a decent chance at decent tickets.

Really, would you rather see The Cure at an ultra-packed venue, sold out and without space to breathe, or a show where you aren't forced to get unwillingly intimate with the people in front, behind, and to the sides of you? I know what I'd rather see.

The capacity of these places also means that people other than uber-fans (that is, people who track their every move) will have a chance to see them. And consider -- some venues aren't so huge. The Santa Barbara Bowl is a quarter of the size of the Garden, for instance.

yes but doesn't a lot of those bad memories of all the difficulties in getting tickets in the past comes from the times when the cure really were popular among the mainstream audiences? that's quite different than today. it's not '92 anymore, even if we wanted it to be. and like i said, dream tour already showed this. whereas it was a very successful tour in its entirety, they didn't sell out in the US just like in the old days. and on dream tour they played 23 US dates (not counting the warm-up tour) which is not much more than they are doing now (20), and still some big venues were nowhere near of selling out. i just think that if we want to make some advance comparisons/guesses today i think the comparison with dream tour is more realistic than comparison with wish/prayer tour.
but i do hope i'll be proved all wrong!

surely yes, but the fact might also be than a lot less non-fans will even plan to attend since they are not that popular among mainstream audiences anymore, like i said. so there's necessarily no need for some "extra room" for average concert goers/non-fans", whatever one wants to call it. and thus i just think it's a rather bold move to go play something the size of madison square garden, that's all.

anyway, don't get me wrong here. i'm not trying to fan the flame of defeatism here prior to the actual events or sitting here with a stupid smirk on my face wanting to see them fail miserably and then go like "haha i knew it!" - no no, not at all. more than anything i'd like to see them being as successful as possible and i do hope they sell out and i do hope they have good audiences. i was just thinking out loud.
and let's hope it works for them!  :smth023

I don't really get all these big venues. I mean, they don't even have a new album out. So I would predict sales to be worse than Curiosa, which isn't a good thing. :?

But... I hope I'm wrong too!

Hey,

Hello

I'm looking for tickets to this show...floor seats

If anyone is selling theirs..or has an idea where I can get some (reasonably priced)it would be greatly appreciated!!
(not much luck with ticketmaster) haha :D
thankyou

If anyone happens to find a pair of seats (ANY!) at a decent price, give me a heads-up, if you can.

(While I like the fact that Boston & NY were re-scheduled on opposite ends of the tour -- I get to see them early, and on the last date -- it dawned on me that they re-scheduled NY on my girlfriend's birthday... And as I only bought one ticket, initially, and still want to go, I need to turn this into a birthday trip to NY, else I look like total ****.)

I'm not going to this show because it's just too big a venue to really enjoy the show if you're not somewhat close.  I've been to a few shows there (DM and White Stripes) and I just couldn't get into the show.  I've seen those two bands in smaller venues and enjoyed it much more.  I've seen The Cure in Radio City 1996 and Jones Beach in 2000 and they were much better in those places.  MSG is too big for my taste, unless you're really close of course.  But I lucked out because they're playing Radio City again and we're going there instead.  Last day of the North American tour.  I hope they go out with a bang.  Let's get some Pornography in there preferably; Cold, Pornography, Siamese Twins and The Figurehead.   :D

I think all of the shows on the American tour have seats only.  We still stand the whole time, but we actually have our own little space.  I like it just fine!

Radio City's website still shows them at the Garden on the 20th and RCMH on the 21st.

Probably a mistake.
Would be nice, yes.
They sold out like 90% of MSG for the friday show.
Very doubtful it would downsize with those kind of sales.
Wish/hope/dreaming it's true though, but doubtful.

I might have 3 for sale for MSG.

Theyre in the top section, but theyre in the first row and not far from the stage, so you have a nice view despite the height, excellent for photo and video, is which these seats were originally intended on.


Originally bought the three tickets, but one person bailed, so were looking to sell and upgrade to a pair on the floor.

Anyone interested, send me a message.
Theyre around 50$USD each ticket, i forget the exact amount.

I have the same issue as the above poster. I have two extra tickets for this Friday's show at MSG in section 11. They are excellent seats but I do not have enough people to fill them. If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to sell them to you for face value ($75 each) or possibly less.

Here is the seating chart:

I made it to my hotel in Newark, NJ and will be hopping on to the train to MSG in a half hour or so.  Looking at the pic above, and using this pic from COF:

(http://bp3.blogger.com/_5LP1Yi4Xov4/SFwRqdrY4GI/AAAAAAAAALw/9bP0AEfdqzI/s320/msgsoundcheck.jpg)

It looks like I am 4 rows in front of the soundboard, which is pretty far back.  Looks like I may only get long distance pics tonight, but supposedly I am in the "sweet spot" on the floor.  Basically, in the pic above (not the COF pic), my row is the last row that you can see the top of the chairs of in the picture.

I made it in to the venue.  As expected, I'm pretty far back.  They have 2 hd cameras behind the sbd, and 3 down front between the fence and the stage.  There is a barrier up between the back sections and the front ones...much like hamburg 2002 for those that were there (except there are seats here). The seats on the floor are VERY close together.

Just got back to my hotel, and I cannot wait to crash.

One thing I forgot to mention...very international crowd tonight.  I ran into a few members of Mexicure, friends of my friends Edgar and Luis from Mexico City.  Also spoke to 2 girls from France.  A couple behind me were speaking Italian.  2 girls were kissing a couple rows in front of me.  And so were the 2 guys that blocked my view ALL NIGHT.  Why is it that every 6'6" (198cm) person on the planet has to sit right in front of me?

I'd bet money you guys get Faith tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying watching the MSG concert on FUSE over and over.

Fourth time over at the moment.

Fairly crappy song selection. But at least we got UTS and BRDB, the latter of which I was unable to really appreciate until tonight. KILLER bass.  :smth020u

That's what I was predicting. 

OOTW>Want with Bloodflowers closing and either the Faith encore or just Faith.  I'm also thinking Torture, Big Hand, Figurehead, Signal To Noise, Hanging Garden, and How Beautiful you Are.  Maybe the Disintegration encore if they do the BF opener/closer.  Should be a good one tonight.

so true and for Lullaby and Wrong Number, also.
great night and lovely concert. loved the back drops(or whatever they are called)and the lighting. got to see the concert, very well, from where i was seated. directly in front of Simon.
while in line, i met, very briefly, with a couple of girls from DOF. one of them, happen to give Rob roses before the 2nd encore.
the only disappointments werer- no Cold and A Perfect Boy. Rob and the basnd seem to be off or not totally withit on the song. it didn't go well, IMO.

and the new songs. it seemed like about 3/4th of the audience didn't even know them. i was the only one around me who was singing the lyrics to them.

thanks olivier for sharing those very nice photos.

It aired last night on Fuse.  For those that missed it, you can download the broadcast from dime.

It's also available in DivX on The Pirate's Bay.

Robert said something on the official site about re-airing the broadcast or an entirely different broadcast in July and September.

I watched on Fuse last night.  They did a great job with the production, seemed like I was watching a DVD!

Quote from: crowbi_wan on June 21, 2008, 18:57:10That's what I was predicting. 

OOTW>Want with Bloodflowers closing and either the Faith encore or just Faith.  I'm also thinking Torture, Big Hand, Figurehead, Signal To Noise, Hanging Garden, and How Beautiful you Are.  Maybe the Disintegration encore if they do the BF opener/closer.  Should be a good one tonight.

You certainly f***ing called that one, ya smooth bastard  ;).  Great setlist tonight at RCMH.  If they do another tour for the new album, I may seriously consider seeing them in NYC next time.  Would be quite an experience.

Funny you bring that up.  I can't tell you how many people went out for drinks once Charlotte started.  WTF?  I'm sorry.  Did you want to hear Friday again?  Maybe Lovesong?

i remember the same thing on royal albert hall in 2006: many of those people in the first 10 rows... i mean, who were they? some utter bores invited by the record company or soemthing? :roll:
i remember there when we finally managed to escape the security, leave their seats (those silly seats!!!) and crowd the corridors during the encores, i was looking at my left during 'grinding halt' and i remember this really bored looking woman just sitting down on her seat, staring at the floor/at us  and yawning... and she deserved to be in row 5??? :roll:

seats on the floor suck - boring people suck (as do yellers, screamers, whistlers and those people who need to get pissed before the show and who then can't get through the gig without constantly waving their hands on your face - ok but that's another matter).

I like seats on the floor...  As long as there aren't many people in front of me, that is!

I noticed that a lot of people on the floor in Vancouver didn't seem very into it.  GIVE ME YOUR SEATS. 

They stopped selling drinks when the Cure came on, but the people on the inside of my row had to keep peeing or something.  I wanted to say, "Do not come back.  If you walk in front of me one more time, stopping my celebration and marring my concert experience, I will hit you."

well, i too like seats on the floor when i go to listen to a classical symphony orchestra concert, but definitely not when i go to see the cure etc.! ;)


(but yes, i always wondered why some people need to drink so much before the gig only to end up running to and fro all through the show - do they really consider that as some kind of a compulsory part of the concert experience?)

One thing I forgot to mention...very international crowd tonight.  I ran into a few members of Mexicure, friends of my friends Edgar and Luis from Mexico City.  Also spoke to 2 girls from France.  A couple behind me were speaking Italian.  2 girls were kissing a couple rows in front of me.  And so were the 2 guys that blocked my view ALL NIGHT.  Why is it that every 6'6" (198cm) person on the planet has to sit right in front of me?

Those two mexican boys were me and my friend Ivan!!!! Great to meet you, even for just a little moment. And as I said, I'll keep watching for your job done that night ;). Great show!!! and a great experience.

Thanks oliver & other voices for your pictures.   I'm glad the peeps who went had a good time despite the people who didn't even know Charlotte Sometimes.  WTF?  How could you leave during the song!!! I never understood why people go to a concert & do not enjoy it and make people who do mad with their talking and so on!!!

It's been over a week now since this show & I'm still feeling depressed that the tour is over.  Let's hope we get some more shows for the new album later this year!  :)

Soundcheck videos of this show in Vimeo

Friday I'm in love (http://vimeo.com/1223688)

To wish impossible things (http://vimeo.com/1223499)

Underneath the stars (http://vimeo.com/1217619)

Sleep When I'm Dead (http://vimeo.com/1217226)

F'ing amazing (http://vimeo.com/1223490)

"A short clip from the soundcheck. Robert asks the film crew if they've got a beautiful picture. He then says: "I'm struggling for words to sum up how f'ing amazing this is. He seems very happy and a little overwhelmed that they are about to play to a sell-out crowd in Madison Square Garden, and that it's being filmed. This is just before the start of "Underneath the Stars", you can hear the waves crashing at the beginning and end of this clip."

i recently saw this sold on a record fair, bootlegged as a silver cd and a fancy digibox cover. :smth011
i wonder who's recording it is...  :? it's too bad that some "companies" still do that.

That's a shame.  :x I wonder if it was audio from the Fuse broadcast(s).  Anyone know?  jb, did you happen to notice if it was complete, the title, the company the pressed it?  The NY shows never really made it into circulation, yet.  I hope people aren't buying these silvers because of that.   :roll:

I'm more suprised that the RCMH show has not been widely available... or maybe I do not know where to look!

The recording I got is not the complete set...

sorry i don't have the details. i didn't have possibility to take a pic of the cover (the seller didn't let me do that). i forgot to memorize the company etc., sorry. :/
whether it was complete or not: those details must have been inside the digibox and it was sealed, i couldn't see what was in there.
