Fall Out Boy the third

I just bought my ticket to see them in Arizona. I've been waiting for this moment since I was 11 years old and I've been crying tears of joy ever since they announced the dates.

Hoo-ray for everyone that managed to snag tickets! I hear they sell out pretty quick.

@Dru, how does one get picked for M&G on the ock website? Is it random by where you live,or if you've been OCK the longest, or do you sign up somewhere and they randomly pick?

@ Patrick Stump
I'm not sure. I know with Panic and Cobra's fan club, the area I live in everyone got it because there were so few of us. With larger areas, I believe they draw randomly. They try to give it to as many as possible, I know.

But they may not be doing it. For all of those I had to buy my tickets with a special (plus Meet & Greet) thing after it. Since the shows are so small they may not do it.

First live video of the new single. The video quality is shite, but the sound is great.

And Patrick. Needs. To. Eat.

@ Astrid.
I'm cool with Patrick's size now. As long as he's wearing glasses and his hair isn't bleach blonde. I think he looks pretty adorable.

---

Both my shows sold out. I'm going to still go to the KC one, just going to wait to buy a scalped ticket. $80 isn't bad; I've spent $200 before.

I think Patrick is cool with his size too :-P

The scalpers hit this tour pretty hard. I've seen way more fans dissapointed than excited.

@ Patrick Stump
I'm just waiting a month to get a StubHub ticket and I think a lot of people will do the same. But they really need to find some way to crack down on that.

@miserable dru.

Dear lord that hair. I've always liked him bigger but he's still an adorable little twit.

My venue hasn't sol out yet but I'm debating on going; they're playing at a shit venue (one of my least favourite ones, anyways) and the price isn't really worth it to me.

I didn't even have a fighting chance. It's all sold out and I'm so sad. D:
Even if I'm 80 and in a wheelchair, I WILL see them live before I die! haha

@ overboard.
A lot of the people who bought tickets were Stubhub scalpers. Tickets are 30-40 dollars over face value for my show, but I heard they'll go down in a month or so. keep checking. I'm buying a scalped ticket to KC.

So tickets to the Sydney,Australia show were just released and they sold out in literally seconds.
Tried for ages with a friend to have double the chance, refreshing every second till it said buy tickets and when it finally did.. they were already sold out.
Went on ebay, tickets are going for $250AUD and are rising, i hate ticket scalpers, i hate that they decided to play in the smallest venue in the city and i hate that i have to wait for ages to see them again.

Devastated

@ Toby.
I don't know if you have StubHub there, but that's what I've been checking. Someone said if you wait awhile the prices will go down.

I'm one of the lucky ones. I didn't get tickets but right now mine are only $62, which is only 20 bucks more than what I would have spent.

I was glad FOB recognized what happened and is trying to figure out solutions for next time. I'm going to Burning Man (hippie festival) this summer and if the people who run the event look for people selling tickets for over 400 (the ticket is 400) and if it's more than that, they will deactivate your ticket by the code on the front. Pretty awesome.

This is way late (for some reason my Alerts weren't working!), but I managed to snag tickets. :) This is the band that got me into everybody else that I like, so to be able to see them live... I'm stoked.

I'm not sure if they're going to come out of their tour busses later (like 2-3 hours after the show), or if they'll leave right away for Las Vegas. Plus, I have school the next day, but I'm only going to three classes and it's my last day of school. I just want to know if staying for a while and hopefully getting the chance to meet them will be worth it or not. Any ideas?

@ soft skeletons.
Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. It really depends. I've seen Joe once after a show (I've seen them twice). And I know people who have met them after a show. I also know that sometimes they just leave. Hopefully, since these shows are smaller, they'll stay.

Is anyone a member of OCK?

I only managed to get 1 ticket (& I needed 4,for the rest of my friends). So the debate right now is sell it or go alone heh.
Most likely gonna go alone, because I really do want to see 'em.

@Dru I just joined OCK a couple of days ago.

@ Patrick Stump
Go alone. You'll make new friends.

Has OCK mentioned anything about Meet & Greet yet? Money is tight so I don't want to join right now if they aren't doing it for this tour; I'd rather wait 'til the next one.

Hahaha! That sounds like a good plan.
I haven't seen any posts about M&G's, from OCK or fans. Which makes me think they probably aren't for this tour.
Then again, I might just be out of the loop ^^;

Heh, I'm only a month late, you know. But I haven't heard of any M&G's yet either and it's been about a month since this was asked.

Has anyone listened to the album yet, then? They're streaming it on a few sites an have all the tracks up on youtube. And my lawrd, is it addictive.

I have it all, but I listen to new albums one song at a time. "Save Rock and Roll" and "Young Volcanoes" are the two tracks on repeat right now.

I adore the Elton influences in "Save Rock and Roll" and it's so strange that my father's favourite artist and mine just happened to collaborate after years of being on two totally different ends of the spectrum.

I've listened to the album through more than once, but my go to song off it is "Where Did the Party Go". I'm a long time bass player, their songs being some of the first I ever learned, and the line in it hasn't ceased to amaze me yet. It's not exactly complicated (not more so than 16 Candles) but it's gorgeous and on my list to learn.
