If you haven’t had a chance to buy the album come to the show anyway! There’s not a better way to hear their new songs than live for the first time. If you are looking for tickets and can’t find them at the box office, here are some great aftermarket sites to check out.

2. Stubhub is an excellent place to shop online as well.
They’ll even let you sell your tickets there.

Here is some info about the Ataris from their Wiki:
After some time off, Kristopher and John later moved forward and began writing songs that would become part of the follow-up to so long, astoria titled Welcome The Night. The held some informal practices with some friends from New York, who played in the band Park Ranger. These sessions led to three members of Park Ranger joining The Ataris: Sean Hansen on bass, Shane Chickeles on drums, and Paul Carabello on third guitar. To round out the lineup, they added longtime friends Bob Hoag, formerly of Pollen and The Go Reflex (which was managed by Roe), on piano and keyboards, and Angus Cooke on cello. Cooke played cello on past Ataris records, and helped with production as well. Starting in 2005, the band began recording Welcome the Night at Seedy Underbelly in California, with producer Nick Launay. Writing and recording eventually took the better part of two years and was extended to multiple studios. The album was routinely delayed by Columbia, and some wondered if it would be shelved by the label altogether.
On June 10, 2006, the band announced that it had left Columbia Records due to the label’s internal disintegration.
In November 2006, The Ataris started their own label, Isola Recordings, through Sanctuary Records and RED Distribution, and simultaneously announced the official release date of their new album “Welcome the Night” as February 20th, 2007. Following the release of Welcome the Night, the band embarked on a tour of the United States and Europe. The band is touring as a five-piece, with Bob Hoag and Angus Cooke only playing select shows.
Welcome the Night opened at number 85 on Billboard with over 10,000 copies sold.
