looks like they're all booked in the EU for June and half of July... think they'll do a U.S. tour before or after that?

Cause I work for a concert promoter who was trying to get the shows (we didn't) and one of the big shots told me.

sWeetness....
I wonder if they'll fuckin sell out in 2 seconds again like they did in LA.
I wanted to shoot some scalpers in the face after I had to pay 120 bucks a piece for tickets to see them at the Hollywood bowl that weren't even that good.
One thing I like to do to fuck over the scalpers which actually works (and makes me feel gooOOD)... is to set up some fake accounts on ebay.. and BID on all the radiohead tickets that are overpriced in the last couple of days.. like dozens of them
And then not pay.. sending a message to the sellers the day OF the concert:
"HAHA FUCK YOU SCALPER"
It's awesome. I love it. It totally fucks them over if you do it when its the last couple of days because they miss so many chances to sell them... and they're not sure if they should sell em or wait for you. By the time you tell em to fuck off, they have to drive their lazy scalper asses all the way to the venue to try to get rid of them by hand.
Radiohead posted a nasty note to the scalpers on their site a couple years ago. I should throw my idea at them and tell them to put it up on their site. If you get 10's of thousands of people doing it... just imagine how much money the scalpers would loose.

That's why it helps to have your own domain and to be able to set up dozens of dummy email accounts like me . You can set up tons of fake ebay accounts. When radiohead tickets go on sale and sell out I might end up setting up dozens of these accounts myself and hand them out to everyone. \ There are still a lot of people who sell their tickets off of ebay on non-auction sites... but I think a majority of people use ebay.

well, back in '01 when i started using ebay, they had a policy that tickets could not be sold for more than face value.
i'm not sure when that changed or why, but they need to reinstate that shit

It MIGHT still be a rule but hell... it would probably be too hard to enfore. If you sent a message to ebay about every single violation, it would take forever... and no matter how many "automatic" things you try to program to fight it, scalpers will always find a way around it... or another site altogether.
I still think my ebay way is the best way to fuck with the scalpers. It would probably cause a lot of them to get screwed on ebay and have to go to the venue to scalp.... A lot of venues won't allow you to scalp on the grounds which fucks a lot of them over even more.
If I were a local legislator, I'd make scalping illegal PERIOD and ask the cops that are working security around the even to fine anyone caught scalping... a pretty hefty fine. That way the income from the fine justifies the police manpower wasted on it.

i dunno if that could work though. you could always tell the cops that you're selling them for face value and there could be nothing they could do about it, right?

Not if you get a couple undercovers.
Like I said... might seem like a waste of taxpayer money, but the amount they'd get back in fines would proably be more than they'd spend on the operation
Then word gets around that undercover cops are posing to fine scalpers and then the scalpers get too scared to sell at the concert

Or maybe I'll just take a 2x4 with a nail in it and start bashing it against the heads of everyone i see selling radiohead tix for 100+ bucks.
That would probably be the more effective route.

as posted on ateaseweb.com -
Radiohead have revealed the cities the band will play on their North American tour.
As reported earlier, Radiohead have indicated to start their tour in May this year with the first dates in North America. Dates and venues are still to be confirmed. The tour will take place in two segments, one prior to and one following the recently announced summer tour of the UK and Europe.
In the meantime Michael Eavis confirmed that Radiohead will not be making an appearance at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
But here are the cities in the USA and Canda in alphabetical order:
Atlanta Boston Charlotte Chicago Cleveland Dallas Houston Indianapolis Los Angeles Miami Montreal New York Philadelphia San Diego San Francisco Santa Barbara Seattle St Louis Tampa Toronto Vancouver Washington DC
