Yes the turd was on purpose.

Thought I would share about my favorite venue in the DC area and the change away from TB. Not much to discuss but this happened because they heard the rumblings.

By the way the Iguanas are on a NE tour. We are seeing them on June first without TB fees!!!

FROM OUR FAVORITE SITE:

To our valued customers:

In an effort to make the ticket buying process more responsive to you, our clientèle, and to reduce the cost of purchasing tickets, the State Theater has switched away from Ticketmaster. We hope that you find the change beneficial both in ease of use and in cost savings. Depending on ticket price, the convenience fees for on line and phone purchase will be about 40% less than before.

The new system will be partially enabled by midnight on Tuesday December 19. At that time tickets may be purchased directly from the box office or purchased on line. All tickets purchased on line will be available only for pick-up at the box office will call window on the day of the show. This is only a temporary situation while we finalize the transition.

Starting soon, you will also have the ability to:
1. phone charge tickets directly through the box office
2. print “print at home” tickets from your home printer, or
3. have tickets mailed directly to your home or business

These three options will be in addition to the options available now (in person at the box office and purchasing “will call” tickets on the web).

We apologize for the temporary disruption in ticket availability, but feel confident that the new system will prove to be a gain for everyone.Thank you for your patience and your continued patronage. Happy Holidays! - State Theater staff



Ticket Booth now open 12 Noon - 5 PM Mon-Fri
and also 12 Noon - 11:30 PM on all show nights.

Where you at lady? I live in Winchester VA about 70 miles from Falls Church but will travel further for good music.

I hope this is the beginning of a massive rejection of Ticketbasturd....
