  1. I was still finding tickets in the 100's until after 11. Just kept trying. I found 2 in section 101, row Q. Kept looking and found some slightly better, sec 102 row H. I went to the cart and deleted the first pair, checked out and showed the correct total of $186.50 and only one pair of tickets. Got my confirmation email and was charged for both pairs! Don't know how it happened although I did have 2 browser windows open. Shouldn't have mattered since only showed one pair at checkout. I set a message to the ticket vendor and waiting to hear back. I'm not hopeful for a refund as everything I've
  2. Cool, I'll see ya in May!
  3. I didn't even see that option, too focused on just getting tickets. Are you going Sandy? Steve
  4. The City Suites is right around the corner from the Vic. There are a couple others fairly close but I don't recall names. I've stayed downtown many times and it's usually a 15 min cab ride/drive. This time I found a condo to rent via Airbnb, it's also right around the corner from the Vic. It is cheaper than the hotel and much nicer. There may be some options left in the area. Hotels aren't cheap this time of year. I think the City Suites was over $500 for 2 nights with tax. If you can find someplace cheaper the drive/cab ride may be worth it but all of the hotels are pricey everywhere though
  5. I'm not exactly sure how it works. I live in Illinois and can get always hard tickets or print at home as can some other I know out of state. Some other's only get an option for will call.
  6. I think by default $75 tickets were added to cart right when they went on sale, I didn't see an option for VIP right away, I finally did however.
  7. Last chance, make me an offer, I can get them to you by Monday if I can get them shipped Friday or possibly Saturday!
  8. I have 2 tickets for Red Rocks, reserved section 1 row 12 left center near sound board. Please let me know ASAP, I can send tickets but will need to get out soon. Paid $148 but may let go for less. Make an offer! Thanks, Steve
  9. I have 2 tickets, row 12 just off center. Unfortunately can't make it. Let me know.
  10. Hey Sandy! Yep, still have it, let me know! Steve
  11. I have one VIP ticket for the Benefit show at the Vic on 5-15, for what I paid... face plus fees. Steve
  12. The only downside to the date is this appears to be a high demand time for hotels. I'm paying well over twice what I paid a couple weeks ago for a King Suite at the City Suites. It's something like $340 for a suite after taxes! Don't get me wrong, no complaint about the show or when it's scheduled. Hell, I'd rather be warm waiting in line and pay the extra for the hotel. I just got accustomed to getting super good hotel deals in Chicago. I'm really hoping a Thursday show is added, either way, still the best show of the year IMHO. I had written-off a Benefit show this year, it's a very nice sur
  13. I was wondering if you'd be up for another trip! Glad you're coming!
  14. Thanks Sue! Let's hope it sells out! That would be great to have 2 shows but one will do just fine. I agree, these are my favorite shows for many reasons, always great fun! We appreciate all of your hard work putting these wonderful shows together and Jeff being a good sport taking our requests!
  15. Right on! I had pretty much written off the benefit for this year. Thanks once again to Sue for making it happen. BTW, Sue stopped and talked with some of us a bit at the Tweedy shows, she looked really good!
  16. Even though Jeff made it clear the other night that playing every song wasn't what was promised. Personally, I think the plan all along has probably been to play most everything. My thought is that they didn't want to do "the same thing" as last residency, officially anyway. Plus, if they miss one or two, Jeff won't have to hear people complain. A lot of the duplicated songs this time are being played in different format like the "mini show" at 2nd encore which is very cool. The shows have been great and it's always fun to here some of the rarities. Unfortunately I won't make tonight's show as
  17. I have one for Thursday, won't be able to make that show. I'm in town until Wednesday morning. Have printed ticket or can probably email.
  18. It's hard to say what time to get in line, depends on day, weather etc. there are some that get in line at 1:00 or before but there's generally a small group for a long time. A few more will line up between 2-4 and gets a bit steadier after 4. On work days, line starts filling in 4:30-5:30. Remember doors are at 6:30. If you want to get in front, I would get there by 4:00 and you still might not be front row. What stinks is even with a good position, security can screw you up. I think they split men and women in 2 separate lines and if someone is slow to get checked you can watch a bunch o
  19. In my opinion, the balcony is the best place to be unless you are right down front. Then again, I don't like to stand after staying in line. During the Winter Residency shows I sat in the balcony. Even if several rows back, sit off to the left or right and you can get an aisle seat for comfort and a better view. There is a sweet spot in the aisle seats on either side of the balcony where you will be able to see without anyone blocking your view. Acoustics are very good too. I'm sure there are other places like near the sound board for acoustics. From my experience, either right up front on the
  20. Looks like I now only have one for Friday at this time. Steve
  21. I still have 2 for 12/5, Friday night at the Riv. Steve
  22. Looks like I will be sitting next to you. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Hate to hear that, maybe someone will come through for you, post on ticket board. There are usually folks that can't make it. I've had the same issue in the past with having tickets and getting kicked out. It's hard to know if it's on their end or if it could be the browser, connection etc. Don't give up, something may come along but get your request in the need tickets board. You could always pay a premium and go to Stubhub or something, I know that sucks so hopefully someone here will come through. Good luck! Steve
