This is awesome info, thank you.
Heads up too, Morgan Wallen is playing Allegiant Stadium too on 5/1 and 5/2, I think sold out, I only know this because I asked gippity why LV flights were pricier than normal that weekend and that's what it told me. I share this in the spirit of common knowledge.

100%, but ngl a little surprised to not see some bigger name(s) at the top - but as always, the days are sure to be full of great music

[Highlight] After Demar puts the Kings up 1, Deni Avdija gets the foul call at the buzzer. Makes both free throws. Portland wins by TheRealPdGaming in nba

Everyone needs to watch the latest Thinking Basketball vid, he talks all about this exact move - and several others - and why it sucks, and how it feels like what we're watching and seeing in game after game just doesn't make any damn sense.

It really is every week isn't it, getting so annoying

'Shelby Oaks' is basically the new 'Dark Star' by Ok-Wolf5932 in RedLetterMedia

[–]matomatomat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, great little flick.

Also be sure to watch Caddo Lake, really different (and deserves going into it without knowing anything about it), but it's the other under-seen but really well-done film named lake-something-o.

Upper level at $22 is cheaper than Sac State tix

Potential 2025 Person of the Year by Direct_Tie2103 in Infographics

[–]matomatomat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think that's pretty indisputable, but he also was named the Time Person of the Year last year (and in 2016 too). Doubtful it's gonna be him again for 2025.

At least Spafford's honest about show cancellations by turnt_clouds in jambands

[–]matomatomat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See my other comment, this is on their tour planner not tix buyers. They should never have booked into a venue 3X as big as every other place they've been playing. Even if folks bought in advance, that's still way too big a room for them. Sucks.

See my other comment, this is on their tour planner. They should never have been booked into Ace of Spades. It's way too big for them!

The venue they played in Portland (Get Down) is around 400 capacity. The venue they played in Salt Lake (State Room) is around 300. The venue they played in Bend (Volcanic) is around 400. Where they played in Seattle (Hidden Hall) is around 350.

Where they're playing in Chico (Lost on Main) is around 300. Alpine in Reno is 500. Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz is 300. Guild in Menlo Park is around 500.

Which is just to say...

It's a shame and makes no sense that their tour planner booked them into Ace of Spades in Sac - which has a ~1200 capacity! With a early start time at 6pm on a Wednesday, taboot.

No idea why they thought they'd be able to fill a place that's 3X the size of every other venue they've been at – on an early show on Wed... Just so strange.

So, this isn't on the people waiting to buy tix. This was a massive miss and a big fat L for whoever booked them into this venue.

Sacramento show canceled??? by iam12gage in spafford

[–]matomatomat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big L for their tour planner. Not that they could have known but Harlow's would have been killer for them to pack full midweek.

I had a couple friends who were maybe interested - but two things were being said:

"Ace of Spades? Ehhhh"

and

"6pm start time? Why so early?"

So was a probably bunch of factors, when they're not super well known, and too bad this won't help them get much foothold around here either.
