    What is the best way to get advance tickets for these places?

    Where should I stay? I have family in both places - but I'd have no way to get out the suburbs.

    Would any of you go?

    Thanks a lot.

    i usually hit sonar whenever i'm back home..i'm fairly certain you can buy advance from their ticket window. i've got a buddy who holds down a residency who may know more. depending on where you're staying in the MD burbs, you can catch a train to downtown.

    I just saw Ghost at Sonar last time and the 9:30 show last week. I'd say go to Sonar, its a more intimate setting and they seem more enthusiastic in Baltimore.

    I can speak for the 930 Club; it's a great place to see live music. Nice sound, 3 bars in total, and lots of different angles to see the stage (I prefer the less-cramped upstairs). While people wax nostalgic for the old 930, I think they did a great job redesigning the new one. The entire Wu-Tang family performed last week, and it was one of the better rap concerts I've been to.

    If you're going to stay in the 'burbs, you can still make it to show if you're near a Metro (the DC subway) stop. You can check the website to see how late they're running.

    As for getting tickets ahead of time, I think the only option online is to go through Tickets.com. The service charge is enormous (even bigger than Ticketmaster - something like $8/ticket), but that's the only way besides physically going to the 930 ticket office to purchase them.

    I've heard good things about Sonar (as stated above), so I don't think you can go wrong at either venue.

    According to Sonar's site, tickets for this show go on sale tomorrow (check the calendar):

    http://www.sonarbaltimore.com/

    A lot of the shows have a "buy now" option through ticketmaster--I'd check back tomorrow and see if they posted a link to TM; otherwise, it's Record and Tape Traders in-store and day-of purchases.

    I'm going to try and make this show...
