This one has been building up for a few weeks since I missed out on the initial ticket sale for the first Afghan Whigs show in 13 years so… SERIOUSLY, FUCK TICKET SCALPERS!111!@
It’s killing me that they play tonight in NYC… I live in NYC… And resale tickets on StubHub are going for $139 a pop (down from $235 per tick early this week). Blegh. Looks like I’m gonna have to wait for the expanded US tour to happen.
Betcha tickets will be close to face a few hours before the show. They’ve already dropped another $60 since you posted this last night. I haven’t gone to see a show if forever, and probably won’t until July when El-P comes to town. His new record is pretty great:

If he brings a drummer on tour, I’ll be all sorts of happy.
Ya I’m going to start scoping that Oct 5th show. Still pissed I missed last night. Also, a word of advice: Don’t trust Songkick with ticket info. They were showing that you could still buy tickets at face even though that was most definitely not the case.
Been hearing good things about the new El-P. I need to pick it up.
