Well, that was fast. Judging by the comments that are pouring into yesterday’s post, the Dismemberment Plan reunion benefit sold out in less than a minute. All of us here at DCist offer our hearty congratulations to those of you who managed to snag tickets — many of us also offer our undying envy.

It’s a little hard to say exactly when the show sold out. Some commenters are reporting success as late as 5:05, but most were out of luck by one minute past the hour. For my part, a sudden sinking realization at 5:03 didn’t translate into tickets. We were hoping that the Black Cat might have its own allocation of tickets — the gentleman working the door last night seemed to think they would — but our own Matt Yglesias just stopped by the Cat and was told this wasn’t the case. The tickets seem to be truly and utterly gone.

It’s good to see such interest in the show — although seeing Ticketmaster offering aspiring scalpers the chance to buy up to 50 tickets per transaction is more than a little irritating. Demand for the band clearly remains high, the Black Cat isn’t that big, and this is all for a good cause. So what about it, boys? How about a second show?

UPDATE: Arrgh! The pain of being scooped… Well, we suppose there’s not much an organization can do compete with the Post for D-Plan news, considering that Travis Morrison actually works for them. At least the news is good: the GOGs report that there will indeed be a second show. Hurrah! There are no details yet; we’ll let you know when we hear any.
