3/4 empty for a Tuesday night show.

They're in a fire sale now offering $20 floor tickets. Cocky Canucks.

Scroll in for the full effect.

I'm not a huge fan of their new album, but that is a steal, especially with Wolf Parade opening.

I got an email the other day about two student tickets for $40. That's usually a bad sign.

I'm pretty surprised. I enjoyed the Voodoo show.

Tuesday night and a full floor UNO is ambitious. This isn't Williamsburg.

Wow, that's a ton of unsold tickets. That place is going to be empty. They're really great live, if Isbell wasn't the same night I'd go.

They're struggling to sell tickets in Dallas at the AAC. Whichever promoter thought Arcade frickin Fire could sell arenas might need to declare bankruptcy.

Yep. Just got an e-mail from the AAC with offer for $25 tickets. That is bad.

I'd rather go see Arcade Fire....I can't take too much saccharine earnestness......

Haven't put out a good album in a long time and their live show sucks

Went to the show last night in Atlanta. Five songs in they announced that everyone could stand on the floor in GA.

frick them. After they won the grammy they put together a tour. A buddy and I were going to go to the Woodlands for the show, only they wanted $300 per ticket within the first 10-15 rows. What the frick?! That fake prick Win Butler prances preaching to everyone his pompous liberal ideals and then turns around and charges $300 per ticket. Yeah as someone else here pointed out: mega douche.

I think their music is great, but I love watching them fail. I can't stand those pretentious pussies. This failure puts a massive smile on my face this morning.

Damn, $20 to see them is insane. I saw them at ACL a few years ago and they put on a great show. I'd love to see them again.

This plus the new album bombing. I'm more excited to see Wolf Parade tbh. Arcade Fire has a history of playing a lot of their old catalogue at live shows. Still should be a good show
