SHIT! I have tickets for Sick New World when they will be in my area. I have missed them to date and they are my favorite of all time. I will have to figure something out for this tour.

The show I saw last year was soooo good. It was only around €90 too. I'm going to guess prices in the US will be much more.

Man I wish they were coming to Vegas. These shows were announced for dates too soon for me to arrange travel. And besides, I'd never go to LA to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl. I hate that venue so much. Bad seats there are among the worst seats you could have at any venue in the US.

Because if you're not sleepy after that, something is seriously wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of The Cure, but definitely appreciate that they play for 3 hours a night. It's such a drag seeing a band that has decades of releases only play for an hour and a half.

Catching the show in Denver.
I have an open invitation to stay with my cousin and his husband who live in Denver, and they can take us to all of the best weed shops before the show.

Did anyone get a verified fan link yet? I got nothing so far.

I'm waitlisted, so out of luck. Hard to tell if they would squeeze a second show in Chicago in the open day before.

I'm also waitlisted. My third verified fan attempt for shows this summer and my third waitlist.
I think I liked the old days of standing in line better.

I was there once, about seven/eight years ago. (Seeing The Cure, no less!)
Can't say it was bad experience, and didn't seem any better or worse than any other "lawn" seating I've had at show. I'll be getting seats this time, though.

There’s a reason there’s a black market for old Ticketmaster accounts that do get selected for these.
.Are there banned accounts? Sure. But plenty of High priority accounts also miss out for these high demand shows. Especially when the tickets are so cheap for The Cure.

Re: The Cure - 2023 North American Tour
But you've been selected for other shows, have you not? I don't know which shows Obi has been applying for and if they're all at the top of the demand pyramid, then it's possible. But if a couple of those are middle of the road shows and he's not getting selected, his account score is too low and he's not going to get selected for anything. At no point in the process is it "random" as Ticketmaster wants you to believe, and there’s zero transparency into the process for people to know any better.

Re: The Cure - 2023 North American Tour
Registered for verified fan and got my code the night before. Was in the waiting room 10 minutes before and then to the queue. Logged in and then tried to jump on floor seats. Every time I chose one, spinning, going to a frozen blank checkout page. Kicked out and then had to get back in queue a couple of times. Finally got back in and seats were popping up and disappearing, was a real-tine whack a mole. Finally one popped up in the 17th row on the floor and I jumped on it. Got to check out and will be seeing them June 1 in Seattle. Been a couple of years so looking forward to this one.

It seems like The Cure prefer to play in outdoor venues, and I really don't know why.
Also seems like they should be playing in bigger places the way their tickets sell out and they jam up online ordering hen they go on sale.
