Ticket Alternative's New and Notable Shows

Each week (or so), our pal Leila at Ticket Alternative sends us an e-mail listing all the brand-new, freshly-announced, hot-off-the-presses Ticket Alternative shows. And each week (or so), we post this e-mail on the blog for y'all's information. Think of it as a sister post of sorts to our semi-regular monthly show calendar postings. Don't forget: You can buy tickets for any of these shows at good old Decatur CD. Enjoy:

Two pretty darn exciting announcements from us this week. First off, Scissor Sisters are coming to Atlanta this fall for a show at The Buckhead Theatre and we're selling a limited number of tickets. Tickets go on sale today, July 10.

Second, we will be releasing a limited number of special Early Bird discount tickets on Monday, July 12 for the HOToberFest (which means beer!). Details below:

Counting down the weeks until HOToberFest 2010, the largest Consumer-judged Beer Tasting & Competition, combined with Atlanta's best Sustainable Festival. Take advantage of the EARLY BIRD Special for DISCOUNT TICKETS to the beer tasting. A limited number of General Admission tickets will be released on Monday, 7/12, for $20. That's $10 off the advanced purchase price for General Admission!! Get them while you can.

Check out the website and facebook page often for complete festival details, pre-events and contest giveaways!
