Via Harvard

They won't be great, I hate to tell you - there'll be amps & crap in your way. But at least you're over a little on that row thanks to the handicapped area.

 

Don't get me wrong - it's not worst case scenario by any means. You'll get a great view of Pat & likely Jeff.

 

Confirmed: Lightning 100 is giving away tickets. Their phone number is (615) 777-5100 if you wanna call up and ask stuff. Listen online at lightning100.com right now-ish for the show that usually does giveaways.

 

Also, for the locals, just now on the Grimeys Records FB page:

Thanks much! Just to be in that building will be good for me!

Just a note on the Ryman - there really are no bad seats in the place with one exception - the sections right up against the walls (1 & 8 on the floor and 9 & 16 in the balcony). It's an extreme angle and you won't be able to see Glenn, which is just wrong.

 

You're fine in you're in those sections and are in the seats nearest the aisles - higher seat numbers for sections 1 & 9 and lower ones for 9 & 16.

 

Here's the seating chart: http://ryman.com/event/Ryman_SeatingChart.pdf

 

I don't think the general onsale tomorrow will be too bad b/c they're playing two shows. Good luck, folks! Oh, and - grab a hotel room now if you're planning on coming. Walking distance are the Doubletree on 4th Ave, the Hampton Inn on 2nd Ave and the Downtown Hilton behind the Country Music Hall.

I'm a newbie to the Ryman. I got Section 1 Row J seats 1 & 2. Will these be ok for viewing?

There is a Live Nation presale for today for Ryman. Wilco has all the passwords on their show page. Looks like they don't have a password for Ryman.

Got Row 2 in Pit for Indy and Row B for night 2 in Atlanta! Please, please let there be a few for Ryman!

Good luck everyone! We're all gonna score well today I can feel it!

I think that will actually help us, the 4 ticket limit. We all get so nervous around this time but I think we're all gonna be just fine. No scalpers is excellent! Thanks Wilco.

Looks like there are some seats that just became available for Tweedy in Madison. HURRY!

I'm starting a campaign for Wilco to play the Genessee Theater in Waukegan!

I'll gladly take the Tagalongs. Sorry for ranting friends. Thinking they'll probably add a 2nd Madison show on the 27th.

So the Madison sale is going on, and within 15 minutes there are like 6 pairs of tickets on eBay. I'm definitely whining, I know, it just makes me sick and I wish there was a way bands could get tickets to fans who want them. I was lucky enough to grab a pair for this show but not everyone will (or at least for a fair price). Sorry for complaining yet again on this topic. Can't wait for the show in March!

Oh, I would also like to mention that I think every venue should hold tickets at will call like the Pabst and Capitol Theater. Again, I really think scalpers are just BAD people!

I got 2 in row EE for Madison! So excited to see this venue. You have to be patient with these pre-sales!

This is terrible. I used to be a fan a few years back but they lost me after Clarity. I cannot for the life of me understand covering songs that are so recent. This shows Jimmy Eat World have no creativity. Blaaaargh...

I have 4 tickets for Friday's show in South Bend and cannot go. Asking $20 each or $60 for all 4 tickets. Please e-mail with interest, need to mail asap. Thanks.

Thanks to the early arrivals for keeping me company, all good VC people! Thanks Jeff for playing all the requests, More Like the Moon sounded awesome. Great job yet again...

They popped up, I got one for Friday! Thanks Sue!

Last years shows were awesome, can't wait for these!

I wish for Pat to help me blow out my birthday candles, I mean, that's all really.

Just got tickets for Pittsburgh, gonna make the 9 hour drive! I can't believe how many tickets are on ebay already. It's really sad and I think if more venues did paperless ticketing like the Pabst we'd all be better off. However, not everyone can get tickets to certain shows and I suppose it's nice to have the option to buy them at a higher price. Either way, all you greedy asswipes on ebay suck!

Lagunitas Maximus rules all beer

I hope this leads to other solo shows

Heard "Forget the Flowers" in Chipotle today...

I saw Joe Pug for the first time this week at Otto's, I have been a fan since I saw him at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. I think he's pretty great and was just curious what everyone else thought.

Nice, word jumbles are amazing aren't they!

Very good interview, interesting stuff. Can't wait to see what comes out of the January session.
