The Decemberists to play Raleigh in June

The Decemberists are gearing up to release their new album The Hazards of Love on March 24 and are starting to line up dates to support it. One of the first dates to surface is right here in the Triangle. The band will play Memorial Auditorium in downtown Raleigh on June 4. Tickets will cost $26 to $29 and will go on sale to the public on Valentine's day, February 14 here but will be available via the band's fanclub pre-sale today, February 9. The pre-sale tickets are available here.

The Raleigh show will precede the band's performance at the Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN a week later. It's likely more dates will accompany the these two shows and we'll add those when they are released.

Anyone have a definitive link for joining the fan club and getting tickets now?

There's the link to the presale. I just got mine!
Its general admission which is really weird.

Thanks anonymous. I found it not long after asking.

It is Gen Adm, which seemed odd to me, too. If you go to the Cat's Cradle site, reserved seating is available via Ticketmaster (after the 14th). I couldn't wait, and I liked the idea that Ticketmaster didn't get any of my money this way.

I just checked the presale again and now it says only reserved seats are available but I bought Gen Adm tix. This is confusing me.

You should get reticketed. I had my Gen Adm tickets turned into floor seats. Very happy
