2/24/2006 6:35:28 PM

I got my tickets for Ben Folds at WFU. I don't think he's coming to Raleigh and I think this thread is FAKE.

2/24/2006 6:38:01 PM

i also think it's fake as i can't find anything about it anywhere...

2/24/2006 6:54:01 PM

doesn't xplosivo work at a radio station?

2/24/2006 6:54:06 PM

beats me...but i'd looooove to find some confimation in writing. not seeing it on TM...and usually if there's an event it's up there with the sale date...but nada! zip! zilch! we want a link xplosivo!

2/24/2006 6:56:18 PM

raleigh memorial doesn't have it listed on their schedule yet. But there is nothing else scheduled for that night either . .

2/24/2006 7:05:08 PM

What's the name of the song?
Explosivo!

2/24/2006 7:18:36 PM

I am quoting a press release that came out today.

to quote more specifically:
BEN FOLDS will perform at the MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM in RALEIGH, NC on MARCH 30, 2006.

Reserved seats are $28.50 & $26.00 plus applicable service charges and go on sale Friday March 3 at the auditorium box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at livenation.com or charge by phone 919-834-4000. A service charge is added to each ticket price. For more information go to http://www.livenation.com. Presented by Cat’s Cradle & Live Nation.

2/24/2006 7:23:43 PM

don't know what it's about
but it's good to go

2/24/2006 8:00:49 PM

what's with bands now playing places like theaters?

and the semi-expensive tickets

that being said, i will probably purchase tickets sometime in the next week.

2/24/2006 8:03:27 PM

sorry to doubt ya xplosivo

this must have been a little bit spur of the moment though

2/24/2006 9:40:02 PM

that site you listed says its in RALEIGH MEMORIAL in Morrisville

2/24/2006 9:55:42 PM

livenation is just the new name of the clear channel concert arm. the listing in morrisville is probably just a mistake.

2/24/2006 11:09:01 PM

I WILL DEFINATELY BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( was planning on going to the show at WFU) so this makes my day.

2/25/2006 12:32:06 AM

this is why i always get my news from tdub

2/25/2006 12:47:31 AM

i think the last time i saw him he charged $10

2/25/2006 1:01:11 AM

Last time I saw Ben in person was the last Five show ever at the Cradle. It was $10 and they played "Thriller" with Robert on vocals and Ben on bass. It was killer.

2/25/2006 1:12:13 AM

^holy shit, i was there! what year was that?

i feel old now

2/25/2006 8:41:24 AM

last time i saw him he opened for tori amos at walnut creek...good times.

2/25/2006 12:17:24 PM

yeah, robert sledge is an awesome bass player

2/25/2006 5:58:54 PM

yea, $30 is a little pricey

How old is Ben Folds now, by the way? 45?

2/25/2006 7:51:29 PM

so is this for real? i cant find any info on it anywhere

2/26/2006 3:12:30 PM

have yall been paying attention to ticket prices in the last few years?? 28-30 bucks is not a lot. I'm surprised they're not 50 with it being at memorial..

2/26/2006 3:17:06 PM

I just heard about it on the radio.

2/26/2006 5:23:37 PM
