Title: New Idea For Better Downloading Sales Post by: Malcolm on August 27, 2007, 09:58:59 PM The Foo Fighters are offering fans who (legally) download their new album Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace before the release date a chance to get concert tickets before the on-sale date. Dave Grohl?s gang has linked up with iTunes for the promotion, which will also include the immediate download of the band?s new single ?The Pretender? and a bonus track called ?Seda.? Those who preorder the album via Apple?s digital service will be given a password for Ticketmaster.com that would allow them to scoop up Foo tickets before the general public.
I think this is a great idea...They should do it for cd sales to Title: Re: New Idea For Better Downloading Sales Post by: Bill 213 on August 27, 2007, 10:33:30 PM The Foo Fighters are offering fans who (legally) download their new album Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace before the release date a chance to get concert tickets before the on-sale date.

Without the presale, the scalpers would have raped what little tickets there were because he plays smaller intimate venues. His tickets are going for about $100 a piece at minimum on ebay so $32 plus $9.99 for the itunes download isn't that bad at all.
