Brand New has 4 upcoming tour dates. Two West Coast, Two East Coast and they have sold out in minutes. The band that keeps saying they’re breaking up (but has yet to do so) have added so much hype to their schtick that their fans are rabid to see them ‘in case’ they never come back.
Our request for press credentials was answered with an extremely kind note that the band would not be offering press opportunities this go round (nor last go round) but then again who needs press when social media has made you untouchable?
Word comes now that the bootleggers are out in full force selling fake tickets so the old ‘buyer beware’ mantra should be mentioned.
AbsolutePunk.com contributor “Mystical Lyric” is gaining five minutes of fame for their report of counterfeit tix.
“Even with Brand New‘s shows in California being will-call shows — it looks like there’s a loophole that’s led to some tickets showing up online. Now, we’ve just been informed by AP.net user “Mister Lyrical” that people are selling fake tickets to the shows by posting relatively cheap prices on Craigslist and trying to scam people with counterfeits. His story is below and we just want to urge everyone to be careful out there — don’t want anyone getting fucked over.
