"Registration does not guarantee tickets," Ticketmaster says. "We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available. A lottery-style process will use random selection to determine which registered Verified Fans will receive a unique access code or be put on the waitlist."
Regarding ticket prices, a post on The Cure's website says "we have priced tickets to benefit fans and our efforts to block scalpers and limit inflated release prices are being supported by our ticking partners."
The Cure's "Shows of A Lost World" 30-stop North American tour kicks off May 10th in New Orleans. They will be accompanied by Scottish post-punk band the Twilight Sad.
