Or at least it used to be. That problem will hopefully be a relic of the past now that there is Tour Filter.
I for one am one of those people who gets tunnel vision from time to time and with all of my various responsibilities (job, school, etc) tunes out a lot of the outside world. This results im me sometimes only finding out last minute (sacrilege!) that my favorite band is either in town or even worse just played somewhere really cool and I missed it. I’ve felt like a complete schmuck; one example is when I learned that learned Robert Plant played Irving Plaza the previous week, that he was playing the Beacon the following night with tickets obviously soldout (how did this happen?!?) which left me scrounging around craigslist last minute and lamenting the lost chance to see him at Irving. While I got tickets to the Beacon show, it was stressful and annoying – two words I never want to associate with Mr. Robert Plant.
Well, hopefully this problem will not happen anymore. While I’ve signed up for Ticketweb and Ticketmaster’s alert lists, they send me bands I don’t care about. I want to track my bands or bands that others think I would like because I like band X. That is Tour Filter’s promise. I’ll give it a few months and see how it goes…
