Unless there's a last minute cancellation or some problems, this show IS happening.
Update: No it isn't!
"I spoke to the people at Soundstage and according to them tickets are only available for this if you win them on the radio from WXRT or if you get a personal invitation from Mastercard (must be for big spenders). Or you can bid on them on Mastercard's auctions with your advantage points. No tix will be for sale to the public. Apparently I should have bought those ebay tix!"
(Thanks Brian)

that stinks...
ReplyDeleteHmm, I've been listening to that station online all day, and I haven't heard anything about tickets to Soundstage. Tons of freaking commercials, zero Cure mentions.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I could have done Buy It Now if I knew they were legit!
ReplyDeleteIf you go to XRT's site and log into the VIP Lounge you can enter The Cure tickets contest. I just did that. I really would LOVE to see them in an intimate setting like that. Keeping my fingers crossed! And toes! :)
i clicked on the mastercard auctions, but it said no such auction exists?
ReplyDeleteDJ - I just clicked and it came up. Try again.
ReplyDeleteI was going to buy those tickets, but I couldn't get work off. If only...
ReplyDeleteThis is a dream come true....and the good news is I live in Chicago! Good luck to everyone else praying for tickets!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Craig!
Will The Cure return to the States after the Album is released? I heard that they might.
ReplyDeleteI just read the contest rules on 93xrt.com's website:
ReplyDelete"The contest is open to all persons who are 18 years of age or older and who reside in the Chicagoland Tri-State area."
I am more than willing to travel if I win, but I am automatically ineligible for not being local? That stinks!

WE HATE DENYING THINGS THAT WE HAVENT ACTUALLY ANNOUNCED - WE HAVE BEEN DOWN THAT SLIPPERY SLOPE FAR TOO OFTEN - BUT THE REASON PBS CHICAGO HASNT BEEN ANNOUNCED BY US IS BECAUSE IT ISNT HAPPENING
Robert on thecure.com ....
I don't get the confusion. Why would PBS say it's happening if it's not? Why would the auction be available? Perplexing indeed.
ReplyDeletemaybe it is going to happen but its not the cure who is playing? thats my guess. i dont think pbs ever said it was the cure but that they will have someone preform on june 24th.
ReplyDeleteim glad its not going on now since there was no way in hell i could have gotten a ticket. i was bitter.
Craig - Your update on this subject has left my heart saddened. However, I did speak with someone at XRT yesterday who said the drawing is on the 18th and I even received an e-mail from XRT about 5 minutes ago about the promotion. Are you sure it's not happening?
ReplyDeleteWell if Robert says it isn't happening, who am I to argue with him? : )
ReplyDeleteI had spoken to someone on the phone from Soundstage and WTTW and they both said the Cure were playing and gave me the info about getting tickets from the radio station or mastercard. So this is strange but it saves me using vacation days to drive to Chicago next week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it is happening and Robert wants to keep in quiet until he announces it officially.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it's not happening! Looked like it was but then maybe it is and it's all hush hush??? I read that a few people had tickets on other cure web sites? Wonder what up with that.
