Underworld visits ATL

[charleswise]

Anyone else surprised/disturbed/worried that this isn't sold out yet? I figured with the venue being so small (1,034 capacity) it would sell out in minutes. Now almost 2 weeks later you can still buy 50 tickets. I hope the sales are not so weak that they end up cancelling. Maybe they will sell out as it gets closer to the date.

that's the thing with some North American dates...they barely break even.

Well, give it time. About a week before the gig, people will be seeing flyers and going "Underworld.... they did that Slippy song right? I got nothin else to do, LET'S GO!"

That my friends is a Goddamn shame . Almost makes me ashamed to be an American.

there has been zero advertising for this. it is very possible that there are fans in atlanta who don't even know this show is scheduled. if it weren't for my addiction to this superfan site, i'm not sure i would have found out.

if no one knows about the show, how can anyone attend? I've yet to see "hyde" nor hare here re: the show.
Had I not seen it posted here, i'd never have known.
Bad Promotion= Bad Attendance.

re: The Best Western, it's fair. Nothing special

crAnk.

the college stations will start promoing this on their entertainment calendars in march, and then you'll see the regular fans (as opposed to superfans who already have tickets) buy in. and you'll get the armchair fans who really liked trainspotting and/or sunshine and just like going to any and all shows.

Liquified is probably one of the best EDM promoters left in the U.S. Glad they are throwing the event. They do alot of eflier promotion. My wife got one w/ pic of R & K posing with giant sunflowers. I believe they said that there were only 250 tix left the week after they went on sale. Even though this is during peak WMC period, I'm pretty sure it will sell out by the day of the show. I've got half a dozen friends driving up from FL.

The venue looks great. Never been in the main room of the old Earthlink Live, but have heard djs upstairs in The Loft.

We have a large gang of 20+ going that I haven't seen in one place since my wedding. Like Denver, we're gonna need limo. Woot!

I agree, ashamed, this is also the reason why Red Rocks was moved to the Fillmore. Weak response.

Cacophony, you should print some makeshift flyers and post them around the area, at least.
