We’ve added a second live show in Los Angeles at the El Rey for the evening of April 9. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, February 11 at 10am on Ticketmaster. There will be a 2 ticket limit per person and the entire show will be forced will call–meaning you will need to present your credit card and ID to pick up your tickets the night of the show, then you and your guest will immediately enter the venue. Keep your eyes peeled for more details and the purchase link over the next few days. We have put these ticket buying measures into place so as to protect as many real garbage fans as possible. We want our fans be able to get tickets for as reasonable a price as possible. NOT the scalpers. Unfortunately we don’t have a solution to the scalper problem but these measures should help protect our fans. But remember……….these measures don’t guarantee you a ticket! We have not played in 7 years and as a result our shows are selling very fast. Good luck. Thanks for everything.
sincerely garbage

ticketmaster hasn't added the new date to the website yet. it sounds like there won't be a pre-sale this time. 350 people get to buy tickets. wonder how long that will take.

Glad they added a 2nd show, still would have liked a fan pre-sale though...Its interesting that they didn't cave in & change the event to a larger venue, or schedule the new show at one. Its gonna generate a hell of a lot of buzz around the band. I LOL'd at the end of their note, "But remember……….these measures don’t guarantee you a ticket! We have not played in 7 years and as a result our shows are selling very fast." = so no bitchery on FB please!

I bitched about TicketMaster on behalf of all that didn't get tickets.

That's awesome! Even more so, that I'll be there to hopefully see two shows.
I hope the scalpers choke on the 160+ tickets still for sale for $130 and up on StubHub and eBay.
After nine years of waiting, it would be great to see them twice.

These sound like great measures...nothing that should be a problem for anyone buying tickets honestly as fans.
I REALLY HOPE I get tickets this time.

I hope someone with a camera will record the show (and share it of course).

sold out in a few seconds. I know a few who got tickets, but I wasn't one of them. So if any of you have an extra ticket, I'll would appreciate it if I could be your guest. Of course I will pay for it too.

I was one of the lucky ones to score tickets today and I've been researching a point and shoot camera all afternoon. Apparently the venue does not allow SLRs, so I need to buy a point and shoot. I'll be bringing my nifty little pocket audio recorder to record the show for you guys. I've got you guys covered
