by chance i just thought i'd ask if any people from the atlanta area are going to try to go? i'm also scared of flying and the idea of doing so by myself isn't such a nice one...but, whatever it takes to see pulp. ...or there's always a bus...or a train.
Hmmm well if they were to do small warm up show the night before on the 10th, I think Irving Plaza would be the most ideal place. Webster Hall, Music Hall of Williamsburg and Bowery Ballroom are all booked for the 10th.
They've not done any small, warm-up shows at any point thus far. I don't see why they would start now. I imagine the smallest shows they played were the Brixton ones, to be honest with you.
I don't think small gigs are part of their gameplan. Maybe if there was new material to debut, though...?
My plan is to be as quick on the draw as possible precisely at 10 am on Friday. Other than that, I don't know what else you could do. Does anyone know any tricks of the trade?
there is that american express presale tomorrow (wed) and a link to get an instant american express card...thinking i may do that and then cancel it later on (i have never had a credit card and don't want one).
Well I bought Radiohead tickets which sell notoriously fast (the show I bought sold out in less than five minutes) but that wasn't through ticketmaster so it might be a bit easier. I guess I don't know what to expect in comparison to buying Radiohead because Pulp aren't as big here but they also haven't played here in like 14 years so lots of people are probably going to be trying to go. Have all your info in ticketmaster so you don't waste time and end up losing good seats

How does this AmEx thing work exactly? If I have a AmEx card, I can buy the tix on Wednesday? And if I don't?

There's only a set number of pre-sale tickets so if you don't have an AmEx card, the good seats might sell out but you'll still have a chance at tickets on Friday. Hoping that there's still a decent amount of seats close to the stage after the pre-sale

Presale doesn't allow access to any seats. They only open a limited number in each section. I couldn't even get into the page for several minutes after the presale started! :(
Also: if you're getting any seats, I would buy them just in case...

i got two tickets and i know another person who got 2 and another who got 4. my s.o. and i were on 4 computers total trying for 4 tickets (so we could sit with friends) on two machines and 2 tickets on two machines and the 2 tickets we got were the only time we got through.
(hi first time poster, long time pulp fan, live in nyc, went to london to see them at wireless festival with my best friend, stood for 10+ hours against the barricade, pulp is my fav, etc. etc.)

How are there tickets for the SF show and NY on stub hub already? I know there was a presale for NY but not for SF. Where did these tickets come from?? anyone know?
The sellers are just confident they will get lucky on Friday. Or they were sold tickets ahead of time, which some promoters and venues do (which should not be the case since Goldenvoice doesn't do that from what I gather).

Anyone try to get tickets this morning? Right at 10am, it was offering me balcony tickets, but a few minutes ago I was offered one near the back of the orchestra.
got mine! it's the 2nd row of 1st mezzanine but I'm too familiar with ticketmaster to count on getting smth better on friday. and besides, 12 years of waiting are now officially almost over
come friday I'm just going to pick "best available" and hope for the best because any seats to see pulp is better than none or having to pay scalper prices

well, i ended up signing up for two different american express cards this morning. :( the first one did not give me an instant account number. anyway, i got a ticket, but i couldn't get two together which is what happened when i tried to get tickets for radiohead in march. now i'm very nervous for the trip...
it seems like pre-sale is kind of a scam because you just get whatever scattering they have of a few available seats and it seems like people aren't able to get more than 1 seat in any section.
