Hipsters blow me.

Have you been finding out about secret 9:30 Club presales at the last second (think Wilco, think Interpol)? Well apparently, its so that only "true fans" buy the tickets. This and much more over at DCist. Here is the only excuse put forward:

The 9:30 is purposely releasing tickets for sale on the quiet, it's to benefit
the more rabid fans. I have no problem with people passing along the information
that tickets on sale as long as its done privately via email... Posting on a
public website that tickets are being sold on the quiet defeats the purpose of
selling tickets in that manner in the first place.-kosmo vinyl

Oh, in case you're confused, don't worry, it doesn't make any sense. It sounds like a lame attempt to let a small group of people label themselves as superior to those of us who can't troll around all day checking on new shows. Kids, we're not in Brooklyn anymore.

DCeiver, I salute your noble efforts to ridicule elitest assholes everywhere.
