Announced today

Need 1 ticket orchestra level for Atlanta Thurs 9/29. I know it's not sold out - before I hit up TicketMaster for an upper level ticket I'd like to find one on the first level. Face value please. email w4pa at yahoo dot com

I was confused by this too ... and when I bought my presale tickets for the Ryman (not Gold Circle - in the balcony) the only option available was Will Call. There was no other click box to check. I thought this meant **ALL** Ryman presale were Will Call. Was this not correct? "Will Call Only" for presale is fine, and Wilco and Frontgate should at least emulate the Avett Brothers presale which is ALL TICKETS for ALL SHOWS sold presale are Will Call only. That would stop about 99% of the scalping of presale tickets.

All reserved seating, yes.

Anyone have on sale info? The Wilco website seems to have changed/crashed/gotten shaky this afternoon and won't load right.

Generally how fan club pre-sales work is 10% of the total tickets available to the public are sold through the pre-sale and represent a mix of tickets across what is available - at the front, in the balcony, wherever. Your chances of getting good seats are neither better nor worse versus TicketMaster.

Yes.

Walking distance for hotels is a must for large concert events - this isn't something Wilco's mgmt have figured out yet. Essential.

The Avett Brothers are already listing a date for 6/22/2011 in the UK ... just an example.

Well ... I'll admit it, I'm not made of $$. When I plan my annual 3 week European trip, I book the tickets early for one of two reasons. 1) Fare sales for summer travel are usually between mid-January and March 1. 2) cashing in frequent flyer miles for European tickets (my other modus operandi) is more difficult the closer you get to the dates you want - and 6 months out is considered "close". Since dropping $2500 for a pair of plane tickets (non-sale summer pricing) every year is difficult, I try to hit the fare sales for both or buy one ticket and cash in miles for the other or cash i

I will be in Europe for 3 weeks in 2011 between May and September. Fare sales for Europe summer travel usually occur in February or so - and that's when it's time to decide when and where for the yearly run over there. In 2010, we missed Wilco Europe tours because the dates were not announced in a timely manner. We did enjoy seeing Pearl Jam in Italy on July 6 instead! People do schedule their lives around going to see concerts - and whomever announces the dates earliest wins.

Yes, yes, yes - the point I was making is that usually there is a lot of discussion and actual posted tour dates for other bands in advance of the band actually announcing anything themselves. No offense to Wilco, but the updates on wilcoworld.net are very few and far between ... I'm on their Facebook page and email distribution as well ...

Seems like this would be the touchstone yearly for people to go see the band as happens with others ... could be a seriously awesome event if they'd do an arena show each year!

Even some general info like "SE USA in April, Europe in July" would help. It's funny, I'm on a discussion board for another band with a rabid fan base like Wilco and you always get the scoop on tour dates there well in advance, and there is very little of that here. Too bad, really!

My girlfriend was at the Atlanta show (alas, I could not go, boo hoo ...) and the first comment she made about it was about the audience chattering nonstop through the whole show and not watching the band. It's inconsiderate to both the band and the audience. She took a day's vacation from work, paid $50 for a ticket, split a hotel room cost with her sister, drove 500 miles roundtrip and her first impression of the night was that people wouldn't be quiet when the band is playing. Sad.

Never mind ... I see now.

Did I miss something? Just saw this on the band website. Any news of more southeast shows?

Never heard of her. But after reading the intro to her Wikipedia entry: I'm sure I won't be buying her album, either.

I was a big Deadhead in the day (100+ shows). I enjoy the looseness of the live shows although Wilco doesn't do extended jams and you have to admit Tweedy's voice is reminiscent of Jerry.

I'm not going, but some info for anyone on here that might be -- I was in Copenhagen 2 weeks ago and by utter random chance was staying right next to the Royal Theater where the Nov 8 show is. The place is GORGEOUS -- I stayed at Hotel Opera, which is along the side street on the east side of the theater. Saying it's a 1/2 block away might be right -- maybe 200 yards? $180/night, kind of Holiday Inn level accomodations. Bookable by Expedia or Travelocity. Many places to eat in the near vicinity, bars, etc. Everything to do in downtown is close to there. Couple of stores for buying

Usually means you get into the show, but no other "privileges" unless specifically arranged/stated by whomever got you onto the guest list. Doesn't even necessarily mean a ticket -- I was guestlisted into a Zac Brown Band show at the Tennessee Theater recently and got a wristband, which meant stand in the back behind the handicapped area as all seats are sold. Usually means a ticket, though. (I'm friends with someone who is involved with the mgmt company that reps Zac Brown) Still ... free is free ...

I was wondering the same thing. I met Mike Lookinland at a Grateful Dead show at Compton Terrace in Arizona, summer 1987. Is he a Wilco fan? Somehow it wouldn't surprise me.

Any word on attendance figure out there?

I did too. When it was announced as QuickTime I had everything all ready to go with the laptop plugged into the HDTV ... no dice. I made it through 4 songs of very choppy audio before I shut it off and went to bed.
