http://www.indy.com/posts/6827 en-us MrCircleCity.com I'm stoked. I've got tickets for sale for Radiohead. Tickets are lawn seats. Face value is $36.00. I paid $42.50 including Ticketmaster fees. I'm asking $40. Right now, my buddy from NYC can't make it, so I have 3 tickets, not two...so if anyone wants to go (or has room for one more) I'd love to hang out with some real fans. Contact me if you want to go...

Don't knock Radiohead. They're a great band. Maybe they don't get much airplay, but since when have our local stations played anything besides top 40 hits, classic rock, and generic frat-rock? There are tons of great rock bands out there that just don't get any airplay because they haven't been packaged by the recording industry for mass consumption.

You forgot to tell them the worst part about Deer Creek...the stinkin traffic/parking...especially at a sold out show. If you go, plan on getting there VERY early and don't be in too big a hurry to get home...especially if you live in southern Indiana...and stop at White Castle on the way home..haha Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:44:05 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/6827#comment_20021 http://www.indy.com/posts/6827#comment_20021 David Lindquist Yeah, it's interesting to see Yorke in the Don Henley/Phil Collins seat. The film crew must not be fans of Colin Greenwood. He shows up for about 2 seconds -- and you only see his back.

And really, with a band as big as Radiohead, what are the alternatives in Indianapolis? Conseco? No thanks.

It's a lot like SPAC in Saratoga Springs, but better sight lines from the lawn and there's no balcony inside the pavilion. How will the show sell? If this leg of the tour included a date in Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville or Memphis, I think Indianapolis would be long shot to sell out. But because there is no date in those cities, I think a lot of people will drive to catch our show. One other thing to think about: Radiohead probably isn't the only band on the Lollapalooza roster that will play Indianapolis within the July 30 to August 5 time frame. Stay tuned ...

But then, I'm not a fan of the band. Looking at it from my perspective, they had one semi-big hit with "Creep". And probably that song's most redeeming factor was that it was involved in a pretty funny bit on Beavis and Butthead. Other than that, they receive incredibly limited radio play in this market and their exposure is fairly slim. Look at the acts that sell out Verizon: Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffet, Dave Matthews. Other than those, there might be 2 or 3 other shows every year that sell out. I'd be surprised if this was one of them. But then again, I could be wrong. Btw, Lollapalooza does look pretty good this year. Rage, NIN, The Raconteurs, Flogging Molly, & Wilco. Not good enough to convince me to spend that much money on a 3-day trip to Chicago, but still good. And the only gripe that I have regarding Verizon is the traffic. Otherwise I've found it to be a pretty good place to see a show.

I've never been to a show there. Is it really that bad?

Verizon is big, but regularly sells out shows. I agree with obeythedoberman though. I'd rather see them, along with a bunch of other great bands, at Lollapalooza. There is pretty much no band that could make me go to a show at Verizon. I hate everything about that venue.

Can anyone tell me how big it is, or more importantly, is it the kind of venue that will sell out for a show like this? That is, do I need to be online trying to get tickets the moment they go on sale Saturday morning, lest risk missing out on seeing the greatest band in the world?

I realize I get no indie cred points for this, but I'm also excited about Counting Crows/Maroon5. That is a great bill and will be an entertaining show.

Shouldn't most Radiohead fans actually be at Lolla for the whole weekend? This is stupid. I won't even bother congratulating those of you who will be here for this because you should be in Chicago. It's 2.5 hours away. DRIVE! By the way, Counting Crows and Maroon 5 are soooooooo awesome! Just ask 92.3.
