I have been lucky enough to get tickets to two of the hottest shows of the spring this week. Both Coachella headliners playing small venues in NYC on back to back nights. NIN was, of course, a no brainer, but Coldplay is a tougher decision because I already had a Gang of Four ticket for tonight. Not to mention the Gothamist Comedy show, which I'd really hate to miss. I could go see GoF tomorrow night and figure out a way to swap tickets, but then I'd be going by myself and missing Headphones/Crystal Skulls at Northsix. And yes, the 2:00AM Tribeca Grand late set is pushing it bit for a Tuesday night. Who on earth can pay $50 a ticket who doesn't have to go to work the next day?? To hell with poverty indeed.
The easy way out is to sell my Coldplay ticket on Craigslist and just go to Gothamist, then GoF as planned. With some of the offers I'm already getting for the pair, this may be hard to pass up.
Any suggestions on how to play this?
UPDATE: Gave up the Coldplay tickets, going with the orgianal plan. Gothamist Hype for a bit, then to GoF.
coldplay will come around again. you're never sure with gang of 4. i say sell the coldplay ticket to someone that seems like a "true fan" (whatever that means) on craigslist.
