    Why do bands refuse to play Texas? I mean you did a TV show and recorded a song in and about Austin and not one show in Texas???

    Yeah, this blows! I did see on their board that more dates would be added, but the same thing was said for the "wasting light" tour, and Texas got skipped entirely. Looks like I need to figure out if I want to hit the OKC show just in case.

    Are there any feasible rumors regarding additional dates. Nothing is lining up really well for me and I want to hit a show.

    Just saw this on DTE's Facebook, wonder if it'll be the same for all Beat the Bots presales. Looks like they're determining the front of the line Bruce Springsteen GA style:
    "Fans can get in line beginning at 9 a.m. A random number ticket drawing will be used to determine the first person in line for the pre-sale. There will be a two-ticket limit for general admission pit and four-ticket limit for pavilion and lawn seating. The line-up for the pre-sale will end at 3 p.m."

    So I wonder if you just get a number then can bail until 3?

    Doesn't ticket sale start at 10am though? I would get there for 7am :))

    Cool! They are playing in St.Louis! I've never seen them live before. My wife has at the Big Day Out a few times when she was a teenager!

    Update from the Palace: Lot opens at 8, random number drawing at 9, tickets on sale at 10. That clears it up! Confusing post from DTE.

    Now just gotta figure out if we're gonna do this Saturday presale or wait for the online one!

    My guess is because they're playing ACL.

    Anybody going for the Wembley shows? Getting tickets for the 20th.
    What are the chances of the 2 London shows selling out within a day?

    This is what I was thinking. I am tentatively hitting Hang Out this year, regardless of lineup, so Foos headlining would be icing on the cake :D

    Thanks for the info. If I hadn't seen this, I was planning on getting to the palace at 7:00. I'll be there at 8 now. I like the random number system, I don't want to wait in the cold forever, and I like that they aren't encouraging people to do that.

    I'm gonna say it's prob someone who has access to tix from Fenway like someone on the board or something and doesn't give 2 shits about foos?

    Maybe season ticket holders........

    Not sure if the presale will apply for the Fenway sale, but I'll be taking a look on Monday.....

    Did the email reference a password for the presale? I read it a couple of times but didn't see one.
