Aint No Right

It's been 20+ years since I've seen them. I will probably go if tickets aren't too crazy. It seems that they have a cushion to add more Bay Area dates.

the 6 new songs from the first night at wembly 2022 sound pretty great actually .. this might be a bloodflowers level return to form if they release an album .. hoping to catch them in Montreal again .. woo hoo!!!

That Tampa date is very tempting!

You won't regret it - the shows I saw last year were some of the best I have ever seen of them. I wonder whether they'll add Orlando the between this and Miami, once their sell well.

It looks like they have already addressed the ticket pricing - the prices for both tickets and merchandise in Europe last year was absurdly reasonable. Show-specific posters for $15 or something, for example.

There are some gaps in the itinerary that will be filled; I've wondered about the 4 nights between Mountain View and Seattle. PDX goes begging, but Sacramento doesn't seem implausible.

They were sublime in 2022. Everything about them - the performances, the set lists, the new material, all of it. The news songs they played last year were terrific, but there is also "It Can Never Be the Same", which I think tops them all....that has to come out at some point.

Thanks, PB!

They might. I've tended to like the sound at Amalie Arena in Tampa better the last five years or so over Amway Arena in Orlando.

Interesting. I've not been to the venue in Tampa yet, so that's interesting to know. Hoping to change that in June!

Finally got my email..

Waitlist.

Right now, you are on the waitlist for The Cure’s Verified Fan Sale.

If tickets remain, we will use a lottery-style selection to invite additional Verified Fans from the waitlist.


What's Next

Stay tuned, if you’re selected to move off the waitlist, you will receive a text with a unique access code and link to join the sale.

* An access code does not guarantee tickets. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis. If you’re sent a code you should join the sale as soon as possible for the best chance to get tickets.

montreal here eye come .. 6th row .. yeehaw!!!

Got tickets this morning to the Tampa show on June 29!

That's awesome, guys! Glad you got tickets.

I admit that I'm a little jealous. Hoping something comes up tomorrow or Friday.

The ticket prices are very reasonable too. From $40 lawn tickets to around $300 for the best seats.

I had 5th row seats and then the site crashed for me and they were gone. I ended up with the 20th row so good enough I guess.

What a clusterfuck it's been....

Was actually the easiest time buying good tix I've had in years. You know if it would of been the standard Ticketmaster onsale the Lower level seats would of been nonexistent save for the $500 "Official Platinum" BS. Thank you Robert Smith

Could of had 4th or 5th row @$235 but opted for the $125 lower level tickets- 102 R

It seemed to work well for some and a nightmare for others. I registered for 11 shows (which is, perhaps, a little excessive). Received one code - struck gold (2nd row floor, having messed up and not selected 1st row). A few of them cleared from the waiting list, but now locked out of events that aren't sold out. It's absurd. I'm well aware that 2nd row would never happen in this day and age without the platinum shower experience.

And bravo, Bob, for pushing TM to issue partial refunds for their egregious fees.

Fingers crossed I can get something tomorrow. If I can't, I'll check the fan exchange for resale at face value. I'm not too sure how that will work.

Good luck!

No luck today!

I got a code and in the queue with 532 people ahead of me. Then at 10:08 there was a message that popped up about limited availability. My turn came up about 10:20 and nothing was left. I think most of the tickets were sold yesterday.

A second show could be added for Toronto on the 15th. At the moment it's a day off before Montreal.

I'm sure something will come up closer to the date.

Ugh, that stinks. I hope something comes up, Artemis!

With the demand, I would be surprised if they add extra shows in same locations or new locations.

Creep, I had the same thing happen and got kicked out of the queue 4 times. I had second row seats the first time...

So sorry to hear this - it's been nuts, truly. Much of it down to TM's handling of things, which has been nothing short of a fiasco, but the demand overall.

I am certain they will add more dates, but I am also pretty sure tickets will emerge even for the original date. The way they were sold created a feeding frenzy. I think TM will re-list quite a few tickets and a good number will turn up on Twickets. This is is a major tour announced at short notice - they announced the European tour a year in advance - this is 6-7 weeks. Things will move quickly.

Don't give up though. I saw 13 of last year's shows and they've been some of the best I have ever seen from them. The new material is (mostly) stunning live - there is a lushness to the sound that none of the live captures I have head capture. Hang in there.

FINALLY managed to get some - that was hard work.
Still vying for an Orlando date the next day.

Nice! Yeah, I'd really like an Orlando date too.

More shows, probably. Joke.

That gap in the itinerary between Tampa and Miami seems odd to me, since they're the last shows of the tour. That slot's begging to be filled.
