2019 Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

Hello haloeighteen & welcome to the forum

Def Cure: Photograph of You

I read the induction/show is in Brooklyn. You going to make the trek? Hope so!

Sold out. Other than $2200 VIP packages... I tried 3 browsers and my phone, logged into ticketmaster beforehand, turned off my vpn, everything... failed every time after the ticket selection. Oh well I have an expensive t-shirt ha ha.

Hope someone here got lucky :-)

I got impulse happy and would up with a pair in Section 6 Row 11 and it looks like an ~exceptionally~ tight view that I'm not at all thrilled about, especially considering they were $256 each. I'll be weighing my options if it's even worth going and/or trying for better tickets next week. Does anyone have experience with Barclays Center to ease my concerns? I know it's sometimes good to just be in the building, but if these are as obstructed as it seems then I'm really just not sure.

Don't know if this has been posted but here's a really nice piece

& look at the full list of inductees.
Perry Bamonte
Jason Cooper
Michael Dempsey
Reeves Gabrels
Simon Gallup
Roger O'Donnell
Robert Smith
Porl Thompson
Lol Tolhurst
Boris Williams

Yep. Reeves has been added to the list

There are class of 2019 t shirts too

Best? I wouldn't go that far to be honest, but the HoF has a weird way of deciding who gets nominated.
From a source i found

One could argue that the band were already on the "map" before Andy came on board. One could also argue that they weren't on the "map" (globally) until THOTD or even KMKMKM at least & so Dempsey shouldn't be on that list.
& although Reeves hasn't been on any The Cure albums (yet ) he has been with them for over 6 years which is one of the criteria the HoF uses.
Their selection process is less than transparent & their unqualified use of the word "map" suggests quite a bit of subjectivity rather than objectivity. It's incredibly complicated & does look pretty unfair, but it is what it is I guess.
