should i spend $85 to see flight of the conchords?

[Bob]

they're coming to boston, and the tickets sold out in an hour, and scalped tickets are going for about $85 on craigslist and i'm sort of vaguely tempted to buy one because i really do like them

my head is saying no, and my heart is also saying no, until i get it drunk, and then it says "probably not, but maybe man, maybe" so i figured i'd see what the BBMB says

no, i'm guessing, but still, it could be nice?

[Dorothy Wood]

I don't know, you probably should.

I have tickets in the 3rd row though, don't know if it would be worth it to see them if you have to pay that much to see them from a billion miles away.

[checkyourprez]

you can get a good'ish hooker for that price.

[Bob]

you can get a good'ish hooker for that price.

yeah but would she sing "business time"?

[scotty]

She'll do anything you want, baby, except kiss you on the lips.

[DandyFop]

Yeah. You should.

Or wait till the show gets closer and people are more desperate to get rid of them, you can probably find some cheaper.

[paul jones]

go because if you don't,in ten years time you'll be saying 'Ah I wish I'd have gone to see F.O.T.C.' before they became fat and bald

[ET]

Depends on the venue. I don't know how entertained I'd be if I were in stadium seating as opposed to a small pub.

[Rock]

No. it won't be as funny as you think. I say you go to the venue the day of the show and wait for the desperate people who had friend drop out of going and buy those tickets on the cheap. Then it will be worth it. Second season not so good.

[jabumbo]

^ rock's got it right.


figure out how much you are willing to pay, and stick that amount of cash in your pocket, keep most of it in one pocket, and the rest in another.

you take the one chunk and offer that first, and if the guy won't budge, you can pull out the other bit and make it your final offer. but you gotta try and drive those guys down, especially last minute

[Echewta]

No.

[mickill]

Check Craigslist the day before the show.

On a separate note, I don't think these guys are very funny at all.

[Echewta]

Yea, but they say "Brett" realllllyyyy funny. Its the latest daddy-o!

[Bob]

this thread is not for talking about how you think the flight of the conchords aren't funny, you can go be wrong in other threads, tia

[The Notorious LOL]

they arent $85 worth of funny.

[beastiegirrl101]

On a separate note, I don't think these guys are very funny at all.

Yes! My roommate is obsessed, someone please explain to me what the draw is?

[saz]

no don't do it, they're not that funny at all.

[Bob]

yes yes, you all dislike popular things, very impressive

[marsdaddy]

Get the set list, first. If Sugalumps, Business Time, HipHopotamus, and Foux Du Fafa are on the set list, yes...otherwise, not so much.

Season 2 had better story lines but not as many funny songs.

[DandyFop]

^ rock's got it right.



I was right first!!

I haven't watched any of the second season...I like them a bunch, but their seasons should be more like 6 episodes instead of 12 or however many there were. I think that formula works better for those kinda shows, because it doesn't overdo the bit.

Also Eugene Mirman is a gas.

[Rock]

I was right first!!


Don't try and steal my only moment of glory in this thread....but yeah...you did say it first. fair is fair.

[Dorothy Wood]

I haven't seen the second season, so I still like them.

also, mirms is opening for them. he's probably going to think me and cort are stalkers. either that or he'll recognize us and go "oh hey! you girls again, awesome, come back stage with me and be best friends with everybody"

*crosses fingers*

[Nuzzolese]

yes yes, you all dislike popular things, very impressive

aw shit that's my jam

[roosta]

go for it.

when your 80 and look back on your life, you most likely wont miss 85 quid, but you'll remember seeing a funny show once.

[Randetica]

i heard people talking about flight of the conchords but i dont know what it is but i bet bob is funnier than fotc, they should pay him 85 dollar!

[Echewta]

You could use that money and have two weeks worth of Tacobell. You can look back and say "yea, I'm out 85 bucks and ate Tacobell for 14 days straight." Or gay, if thats what you are. I don't judge.

[SugarInTheRaw]

go with your head and heart, bob.

[Bob]

woop woop i lucked out and found someone with an extra ticket and they're selling to me for the normal price (a low low $50 with ticketmaster fees)

[Knuckles]

Nice!

And I'd like to add that I find the show hilarious.

I haven't seen any of the second season though.

[Bob]

i would say it was a $38 show, maybe not a $50 show, but i'm still happy i went. i got shitty seats (it was in a hockey arena and i was sitting on the exact opposite side of the stadium, lengthwise :( ) so i could only really see what was happening on the jumbo vision screens, so it was kind of like i was watching them on TV, really. also bret had a cold or something and it kept throwing him off, but it was still kind of charming actually. also they did not play the humans are dead which i found very upsetting because i love that song and they've never even really done it properly on the show.

but apart from that i had fun. eugene mirman and the woman that plays mel opened, the banter was good, they did too many dicks on the dance floor. 4 out of 5

glad i didn't spend $85 though

[Dorothy Wood]

now you can spend $35 on candy!
