Nowhereman65 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I got through but passed on what it offered me this was right at 10am it offered me an abstructed view seat for full price then I tried again and it offered me seats in section C way in the back ............. looks like its saturday or craigslist for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chango Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The L.A. pre-sales are always a joke. I think they keep all the section A seats for their "subscribers", then TicketBastard sells a large chunk of them to "professional ticket brokers" at an increased price, and what it all amounts to YOU, the fan, is... yer screwed buddy... welcome to L.A.Me and the missus may have to move down there by August, so I tried to score tix this morning, too. All that came up precisely at 10am was Section B, Row T. Screw that.I'll just hold on to my Berkeley Greek tix and come back up to NorCal for that weekend.However, best wishes and good luck to all of youse trying to score good seats for L.A.

benjamin Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Section C row J for me. I picked them up. I'll try to find better though. Sigh... the days of Wilco General Admission are over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImWalken Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 This is so lame. I settled for Section C because I'm worried that I won't have another chance. I wonder if atleast Section B will be available on Saturday? I can just see the Stubhub nazis vulturing all of our tickets away and selling them for $100 a piece right this very moment. Assholes...

chango Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hey look! Pit tickets! And only $599!http://www.stubhub.com/wilco-tickets/?even...09&search=1Lame, lame, lame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thanks Walkunafraid! If you haven't tried it yet, select the North or South Terrace sections that are off to the side. Don't ask for best available. I'm in North Terrace about 1/2 way back on an isle. Not great (considering I was front row at the Wiltern last time I saw them) but it's better than a straight view from farther back... I hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImWalken Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Is it better though??? I remember sitting in Section B once but i didn't really pay attention to the Terrace and how good or bad it was?? Somebody that's been to the greek more than once let us know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zspaul Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 tickets are still popping up, but I'd rather take my chances on Saturday than resign myself to sitting in obstructed view terrace or back of section-C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The legal scalpers (oxymoron?) were offering tix to the Fillmore shows yesterday before the pre-sale even started. Lowest price I saw then was $90 per ticket. I know it is legal, but how is this any different than scalping in front of a venue (I realize the logistical part, of course)?

Somebody that's been to the greek more than once let us know! I sat Section B Row M for night 1 of Arcade FireI sat North Terrace half-way back all the way on the inside on night 2 I preferred the terrace seats since they were closer and the elevation above the stage gave me an unobstructed view.

Mr. Kinsley Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm fine with chair dancing. I'll probably be too tired anyway since I'm going to Crowded House the night before. I might just stay there to avoid the parking nightmare 2 nights in a row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ChooChooCharlie Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Decided to pass on what was offered too (Section C Row V) and will try again on Sat. Hope I don't live to regret the decision... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walkunafraid Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I was in Section B Row L for Arcade Fire. The seats looked great before the show, but when the band came on it seemed like they were further away than I thought. Strange how that worked out. Anyway, the Greek is pretty small, so you'll be able to see from almost anywhere. It's not like it's the Hollywood Bowl or something. I do prefer the Terrace to section B, though. As has already been said, it's closer, and the elevation is nice to have. I've heard it's hard to see the whole stage if you're sitting in a certain section of the Terrace, but I've never had that problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkush001 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 last wilco show there, almost exactly two years ago, i had terrace seats and they seemed incredibly far away. i couldn't see pat on the right side of stage at all except when he would pop out to windmill. also it gets kinda quiet up there since i believe they have noise restrictions, so loud people are easy to hear and get annoying. the only other time i've been to the greek was for the white stripes in 2003, and i was in section b row d, and i remember liking those seats much better.

dsw1977 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 For what it's worth, I was lucky enough to get pit tix in the musicworld pre-sale, and a friend got Section A, so there were at least SOME available. I've been to a lot of shows at the Greek, and would echo the comments about the Terraces (at least if you are near the front) being better seats than mid-Section B.

I don't live that far from the Greek. Does anyone suggest trying to buy tickets from the venue directly? I am new to the LA area and have no experience with The Greek yet, but do they have a box office available? I know they are located in the park and have sufferd from the fires, so not sure if this would be an option at all..Does anyone know? What would you suggest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although the fires were around the Greek, they have not seriously affected the theatre and the venue and box office are still open. That being said, I can't suggest -- or not suggest -- trying the box office there because I have never done so myself. I recommend you call them (I'm sure you can find the number to the box office on their website) and ask if they'll even be open when the tickets go on sale. If they will be, ask them if there is an advantage to buying the tickets at the box office rather than over the Internet. I'm sure they'll be able to tell you better than any of us. Good luck.

I have another question though, which I'll ask the box office directly but you guys might know from being experienced ticket buyers. With the internet pre sale, is the full inventory of tickets made available, or do they only offer a certain percentage like Music Today does for their presale. If so, then I might be able to expect some better seats on Sat. If not, then the sooner the better, right? Any thoughts or opinions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Turner Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 O.K. I got a pair of tix during the thurs. presale . . . and I'm GOING TO MY FIRST WILCO SHOW . . . you guys are way cool with advice for those of us new to V.C. . . . thanx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
