    This capital one presale is worthless. First it only had lawn seats, then every time I got tix and tried to check out they dropped them. Over and over. I hate the ticket buying experience so much

    ^^^ Not just you. They haven't had a decent album since Echoes in 2007. I'm going because I enjoyed their first 10 years and with all the rock stars dying lately, I'm not taking any chances missing shows anymore. I didn't go to Petty last summer because we had several other concerts planned. Should have went.

    Also, I can't sell my GA Sioux Falls tickets on TM. I'm assuming the band put a stop to just the selling of GA since bowl tickets are for sale there. So bottom line, you Wrigley folks will have less competition now since I don't need to see them twice on the same tour.

    Sort of.  I love the first two albums front to back (S/T and The Color and The Shape).   Then the albums after that there's a few songs I like on each album.    Wasting Light was the first album I loved front to back since The Colour and the Shape.   The last two albums it's back to being a few songs on each album I like.

    That still leaves me with a tonne of songs I like.  They might not be the rare kind of band that has the songs to mix up setlists every night, but they're still a pretty good live band with a pretty long greatest hits kind of setlist (like Metallica, U2 etc....).   I think the Foo's are really good live.

    That's my thoughts.   

    edit:  One other thing that bugs me is how overproduced many of their songs sound.   All sorts of effect's on Grohl's vocals and the sound of the band.    I think they sound better on the songs where that stuff is toned down.  It's probably why they sound better live too.

    Exactly my thoughts too.

    Got tickets to see them in London next year. Will be my first time seeing them live.

    Same here. I bought them though. Had fun in the lawn last time they were here.

    In the past, haven't FF presale tickets been less than great?  All over the building.  Very few good seats.  Or am I confusing this with another band?
    Yup.  This.

    Anyone get a Spotify presale password? I had the fan email and looks like they only were allotted lawn and back of pavilion in Tampa. I'll try the general sale to get closer seats if a spotify passcode doesn't appear in my inbox in the next hour.

    I have tried to Capital One presale, Foo email presale, and now today, the Radio presale. No good tix. None. Now only lawn. Never saw a pit ticket or even a 100level seat.

    Tried for Austin yesterday and today and only thing I could get was lawn.  Not sure if that was all that was available or everything else got snatched up by the bots.

    I used the local radio station code today and scored Pit in Tampa. The Foo email only seemed to allow for Lawn and back of pavilion. Did you try "APPLAUSE" which was a code I got from Live Nation?

    Just checked again and scored some seated tickets.  Nothing terribly close but this venue is pretty good no matter where you are.

    A friend of mine was trying for Cleveland tix and every time seats came up she'd click on it and it would say something like cannot process at this time. All I pulled up was lawn when I tried. So frustrating especially after getting pit tix for the Columbia show a couple weeks ago.
    I'm through with screaming
