As much as I love Jimmy Eat World, probably no way they can fill it up (considering Stone Temple Pilots are playing the same venue and also can't fill it up).

Artists need to stop listening to all the yes-men around them. There are so many shows I've been to that are WAY undersold. Or, so many shows I don't go to because the ticket price is just too high. I'd love to know which genius thought it was a good idea to have Marilyn Manson play TWO nights at Hammerstein Ballroom (5000 capacity) here in NYC and then charge $64 (+convenience fee+building facility+printing fee+complimentary kick in the balls).

NOTE TO ANY BANDS WHO MAY READ THIS SITE (and be so bored you scroll down to comments section): Don't book two nights right away. Book one, if it sells out fast, book another, if it sells out but just barely, keep it that. Not worth the dough to play two half-sold nights.

Now I think they're working their third single, which hasn't done anything on modern rock stations. Can't explain the lack of love for Death Cab, though.
