WayneBradley Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Questions.... Questions..... What phone number should be called to get tickets, call the Vic? What would be the cheapest way to get tickets? Does anyone know where someone who's wanting to come down from Madison, WI could stay (cheap)? I am not sure If I will be wanting to drive home 2.5 hours after. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

srmt Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 To answer a couple of questions that have been asked..... If you want to buy your tickets at the Vic, you have to go to the box office and I am remembering right now that they only take cash.Otherwise, you can use Ticketmaster, where there will be a service charge that I am trying to get a cap put on, but anyhoo you can reach them at 559-1212 or ticketmaster.com. I think the area code is 773-if not, then it's 312. (duh) And I have never tried this, but it actually looks pretty great if you are travelling here on a tight budget: http://www.hostels.com/en/availability.php/HostelNumber.1853 Other than that....befriend your fellow vcer's and maybe someone will put you up for the night! xxoosrmt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Maybe the dudes he knows by name could stay at his house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 J4!! They'll be wanting to print extras of that, methinks! Note to self -- find hostel guide for western states. It's like camping, but with better showers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WayneBradley Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 If there is anyone from the Madison, WI area that would want to car pool down, PM me please! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I stayed in the hostel in downtown Chicago for Lolla, and it was really, really cool, and just beyond affordable, especially for the location. I'm kinda bummed out that Ticketmaster's going to profit off of something for charity, but I guess I can live with it (unless someone wants to get me a ticket and I'll pay you back before the show ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lessthanIthink Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm such a slacker. I don't keep up with viachicago. I just walked by the Vic and saw "April 6 Jeff Tweedy" on their l'il upcoming shows board, and made a quick scamper to the ATM. I got home and realized I have Pat Metheny tickets at Symphony Center for the same night. Tweedy wins, Showverwhelmed Again in Chicago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gatzman Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I just picked up two. Happy to help a good cause and look forward to the intimate show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnW Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Although I cannot make it to the show, financial reasons and unreliable car I would love to get a poster by Johnny Lackey, is there anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j4lackey Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I might find a way to make them available online. Just gotta get them ready for the show first. Thanks for asking and I'll post further info here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YouAReMYface Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 how much are the posters gonna be at the show? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdmel Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Just got my tickets, see you there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tb70 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Anybody know about the seating? I thought I read that the people that bought tickets at the school fundraiser would have reserved seats, everyone else would be GA. But, my ticket has a seat number on it. I would appreciate any info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
srmt Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 The seat numbers on the tickets do not mean anything. Just ignore the numbers. It is general admission. The only reserved seats are the tickets that were sold at the school fundraiser. Those people paid $250.00 for a seat in the reserved section. But again, everywhere in the Vic is a pretty good seat. It's a pretty cozy room. Thanks and see you there!!srmt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tb70 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks for clearing it up. Looking forward to the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxthesilent Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Got mine as me and the Mrs. decided to make a whole trip of it: we see Jeff Friday night, go visit some family over the weekend, then back to The Vic Tuesday for Son Volt. Since Jeff's is a charity show, would these tickets be tax deductible? Hmmm.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 i think if you get something in return for donating to a charity, you have to subtract the estimated cost of that thing from your deduction. so if you paid $100 and normally it would be $30 to go to a Jeff Tweedy Show, you could count $70 as a donation. Then again, I might be making that up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
