Tickets Today Only: 2-for-1 Tickets to X at the Showbox

Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 10:36 AM

X is playing Showbox at the Market April 10 (21+) and April 11 (all ages). This tour is the "Total Request Live" tour, meaning fans get to choose the setlist by voting for their favorite songs at xtheband.com (according to the website, the polls will open today). Any other day of the week, a pair of tickets will knock you back about $50 before Ticketmaster service charges, but for today only, ~~you can get a pair of tickets for just $25~~.

To get the special price, go to Ticketmaster.com and enter the password wildgift.

And now you know.

UPDATE: The 2-for-1 tickets have all sold out! Regularly priced tickets to both shows are still available.

I like the fact that they're using promo pictures taken in 1980 for this tour.

I think they do that for every tour actually.

By the time Ticketmaster adds in their surcharges, you are still likely paying the same price for 2 tickets.

#3, you're almost right. $12.50 per ticket + $5.05 "convenience charge" per ticket, + $5.62 "processing fee" + 52 cents in taxes. $41.24 for two tickets that are advertised as being $12.50 each. Fucking Ticketmaster sucks. Why does the Showbox continue to use them an gouge music fans so badly?

X are still the best live band around.

And they use the old pics because they only do songs from their first 4 records.

They cannot take any new photos. The band members no longer show up on film.
