Ticket Giveaway: Cold War Kids @ 9:30 Club
Want to go see Cold War Kids at the 9:30 Club on Thursday, April 11th? Want to get tickets to the show before everybody else? If you answered yes to both those questions, then you’re in luck. We have a pair of tickets to give away for the show. What do you have to do to win them?
Since the band’s upcoming album is called Dear Miss Lonelyhearts, we thought it’d be fun for ATG to be an advice column for a day or two. Whoever makes the best Dear Abby letter asking for tickets wins. Look here for inspiration. Contest closes at 10am this Thursday, January 24th. Have at it.

Dear Abey, give me the tickets.
Dear Abby,
As they say in Bridesmaids: help me, I’m poor. I’m a college student who would give my left foot to see Cold War Kids live but I see you’re giving them out for free. It’s a win-win for both of us: I keep my foot and you make a poor college student’s year. Seems like a good deal, eh?
Sincerely,
Broke and Desperate
Dear Abby,
Please, please pick me to win the tickets me so I can take my prego wife and get in good with her before she has to go thru what will inevitably be hours of agonizing delivery. What better “your having my baby” gift could I give to my baby mama? No, seriously, would there be a better gift? I could really use your advice and tickets. Thanks!
Yours always,
The other baby Mama
Dear ATG,
I would really love to get Cold War Kids tickets for my boyfriend. He’s had a really rough year. First, I was in a really bad car accident. Then, I died of cancer. Then, he lost the Heisman AND the National Championship.
I think this would really brighten up his spirits.
Do you know if I have to show ID to get in to the 9:30 Club? That could be a problem.
Thanks so much,
Lennay
Dear Abby,
I’ve been dating someone for about six months. He lives in Pittsburgh and I’m in Baltimore. Needless to day our time together is sparse. As a single mom when we do get alone time its only for a short period of time. Can you please help a girl with an amazing date night out?

Dear Miss Abey Lonelyhearts,
The woman of my dreams would definitely notice me if I surprised her with a trip to the 9:30 with her favorite, the Cold War Kids. She would hug me and kiss me and dance with me and it would be a great night for all involved ;)
Dear ATG,
I need help. I have this “friend” who is having a serious problem. Whenever I listen, I mean “she” listens to Cold War Kids she starts crying because she has never gotten to seen them live despite them being one of her favorite bands. Also she has a crazy ex-boyfriend, an annoying neighbor, and outrageous friends. But she’s mainly upset about the Cold War Kids thing. Anything you can do to help?
Best,
Ticketless “Friend”
Dear Niss Abby,
As the end of the world comes closer, I can’t think of a better way to go out then seeing Cold War Kids! O wait, that end of the world thing came a few months ago..
Dear Abby,
It’s cold, the country is at war, and I don’t have kids. Can you please help me with these situations?
Dear Abby,
I come to you with a problem – I’m a college student, aka I’m broke. Nonetheless, there are just so many things I need, but not enough green in the bank account, if you get my drift. SO it would be pretty freakin’ awesome if I didn’t have to decide between buying my Philosophy textbook or getting Cold War Kids tickets, I don’t know seems pretty logical to me.
Sigh, if only an amazing website were giving away free tickets to see ‘em, then I wouldn’t risk the possibility of failing my class.
Oh wait…
Sincerely,
Dough-less
Dear Abbey,
I heard you recently died at the young age of 94. You lived a long great life now please give me Cold War Kids tickets so I can do the same. Enjoy heaven!
Best,
Joe
Dear Abby,
There’s this guy, he’s really annoying and creepy, and I think he’s stalking me. I think he’s what you would call a “hipster”, one of those “indie music fans”. Yeah, one of /those/. Anyways, I have heard he likes these “Cold War Kids” (he probably stalks them too), and I thought maybe I could bait him with tickets to leave me alone. A good ole bait n switch. I’ll send him on a date with some other poor sap of a fan! They’ll just have so much music love in common he’ll definitely forget all about me. What do you think of my master plot?
Sincerely,
The Mastermind
dear Abby,
I will go down on U if u give me tickets.
Peace!!

Dear Z & A,
Fuck. It’s Zack. I knew that.
Best Regards.
Dear Z & A,
I don’t know how to spell either of your names. I am not longer worthy of these tix.
Best Regards,

Dear ATG,
I would really love to see Cold War Kids this year, but all of my money is going to the not-for-profit I started and to college tuition. It’s tempting to give up my charity work and education for a night with Cold War Kids, but I don’t know if that’s the best thing to do. Plus, it’s extra tempting as Cold War Kids is coming to the 9:30 Club on my birthday. All of my friends would rather donate to the not-for-profit than buy me concert tickets. What can I possibly do?
Dear Abby,
I have a live music addiction that I can no longer afford and the withdrawals are unbearable. Please help!
Sincerely,
Tim
Dear Abby,
I’m getting married soon and my fiance and I are fighting like mexican dogs over everything. He says something is not right with me because I want our colors to be royal blue and to have a small, tiny ceremony. He’s very much against privacy and has expensive tastes. I think he’s just being a sensitive kid and not at all mature about MY big day. When we finally begin to see eye to eye he goes and gets louder than ever with his sermons about it’s his day too. I know once we’re married what’s “mine is yours” but shouldn’t this day be about me and the wedding of my dreams?
Get back to me as fast as you can,
(possibly) Pregnant in Saint John
Dear Abby, I LOVE YOU!
Sincerely, Mary J.
Dear Abby,
My girlfriend ran off with this guy named Nathan Willett. He promised to take her around the world with his band. Supposedly they play awesome indie music and are super talented or whatever. I hear he and my girlfriend might be in my hometown of DC. I want to go get her back and have revenge on Nathan. If u know of anyway to help I would appreciate it.
