When the US government shutdown this week, we doubt Many of our American friends were feeling too pleased - but now, we’ve learnt that at least something good has come out of it.
The long-running Nightclub 9:30 - or, as it’s more affectionately known, the 9:30 Club - has offered fans 2 for 1 tickets in the wake of the news, meaning those financially affected music fans can at least save some money rocking out.
The offer extends to a range of gigs happening throughout October, and it wasn’t just shows at the 9:30 Club participating either - buy-one-get-one-free tickets were available for The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala and The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger’s show at at Merriweather Post Pavilion tomorrow.
Though the deal - dubbed the Affordable Ticket Act - has since ended, it was a unique and generous offer and a range of high calibre artists were included - as well as the likes of The Flaming Lips, Steve Aoki, Soul Asylum, Fountains of Wayne, and Greg Holden were involved too.
