"I think they still have tix now anyway..."
Serious? I read somewhere (here?) that the venue only holds like 500 people, and that, when they played at the same place before, that they sold out in minutes. I figured the same would happen this time, and haven't even bothered to look yet...

Starland is small, but not that small. It holds a few thousand at the most. The last time VR played there they totally over-booked the place and it was packed from wall to wall. It did sell out in a matter of minutes. Me and my brother got on line outside before the place opened and got tickets.

Why is VR playing their New Year's Eve show in a Jersey club and NOT in Duff n' Scott's NYC club Snitch??

I think it's a bar with a limited capacity....
But I've never been there, so I'm not 100% sure.

with all of the problems with NYC clubs (CBGB, Castle Heights, L'amour, Knitting Factory, etc.) almost ALL of the touring bands now who play clubs go to either Starland or the Borgata. Starland is a great venue for bands to play at. I remember back in the day I saw Soulfly there when it was still the Hunka Bunka Ballroom. I encourage everyone to check out a show at Starland sometime.

I think Starland is more on par with Roseland Ballroom, Hammerstein Ballroom etc. Places that fit 2000-3000 people. Those places you listed are really small I believe. Roseland Ballroom is cool but Starland is a lot more intimate. You are so close to the band no matter where you stand!

Actually you are very right on that. I listed those clubs because I know they are all having a lot of trouble nowadays and I know it is one reason why bands go to NJ now instead when touring. There was an article in the Asbury Park Press a few months ago that discussed why bands are now going to the Starland to play as opposed to NYC.
I know the bands/managers really like the staff of the Starland. I remember them mentioning that security there is one of the best around. But they also mention that it is becoming more and more difficult to play in NYC because the venues demand so much of the merch revenues. (For those that don't know, clubs usually take a good chunk of merch sales). I may be wrong on this one, but I think Starland gives the bands 100% of their merch revenues which is unheard of.
Anyways, its a great venue and people should check it out.

If you think the Staland's samll, you've never been to Snitch, that place is tiny, maybe 300 people tops

Since they announced it so late, i think those place in NYC were also already booked

i've been checking ticketmaster every other day or so, and sometimes there's no tix available and other times they are available. right now they are, i'm just trying to find a friend to go with. it's about an hour drive from my house (philly) and i don't feel like making the drive solo.
based on their website, i'm guessing Top-Hatted One is correct....probably holds about 2-3K people.
for anyone that has actually been to the starland, can you compare it to a venue in philly? i'm guessing it's in line with the electric factory - which holds about 2K.
i actually saw VR at the EF back in 2004....incredible. so i was hoping this place would be even smaller. but either way, VR on new year's eve is gonna kick ass!!

Sandman, Starland is actually a little smaller than the Electric Factory. Starland probably holds 2,000 max, but I've been to both and EF definitely holds more. I was also at that VR show at Electric Factory...great friggin' show. My friends and I actually bought fake tickets and almost didn't get in the show. I prefer Starland though, its a bit smaller and intimate like someone's already mentioned.

thanks for the info!
sounds like it will be an awesome time. i can't believe you can go on ticketmaster and still get tix. i'm still waiting to hear back from my buddy....i may just buy em.
F those scalpers, man. i actually bought fake tix in philly for the eagles-bucs nfc champ game a few years ago. 3 tix for $600 total. and they had the wrong date. luckily, the game was at the vet and they didn't have electronic scanners. we circled the entire stadium until we found a ticket taker that wasn't really looking at the tix. and the three of us split up a bit in line. LUCKILY, we got in. and our friends had season tix in the last row where there was extra room to stand. worked out great, except the birds loss, of course.

I think I read on the website that the place holds 3,000 people... The ticket also comes with open bar for an hour and a half.. That should be fun having 3,000 people fight for free drinks...
