New York City's "creative"-centric offices experienced a plummet in productivity at around 10 a.m., when Arcade Fire tickets for a few shows in May went on sale—and people once again turned to Craigslist to either avenge their slow mouse-trigger fingers or make a quick buck. While we haven't seen any sob-story contests break out quite yet, we did notice that some people may have to sell a lot of plasma in order to get into the show:
Silly me! I "accidentally" bought 4 Arcade fire tickets for the 5/8 show, forgetting that I hate humanity and all that is good about music. It really pisses me off when indie bands make a special effort to play at intimate venues, but I sure do love taking advantage of their fans' devotion. So, I am selling 4 seats, which may or may not be will call (I hope you like surprises). The price is the national debt for my two orchestra seats (price is per ticket), or the GNP of Burundi for my third mezzanine seats— great view of the ceiling from there!
The sad part? He's already received 135 responses offering double his asking price.

that's just sad all around. have these people no shame?!
I logged in at 10:03 this morning, thinking, How hard can this be? WTF was I thinking?! No show for me.
I guess I momentarily forgot I live in New York City. A perfect storm of hipsters, yuppies and oceans of discretionary cash will get ya every time.
Will anyone remember them in May, though?
@NickEddy: Remember who?
I actually think that's pretty fucking hilarious.
It's called social Darwinism, people. Protect ya muthafuckin' neck.
