what i once was Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If you just keep hitting refresh, you can get through. I got two in 106 after a few tries. Good thing too because my wi-fi wasn't acting odd this morning.Great to hear your in Zebra- I got one lawn. Thanks again for the password Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 ^No prob....maybe try again tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 more reserved seats on sale tomorrow? do i wait till then or grab lawn seats? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CityKeptBlinking Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Section 206, Row KK. Wow. I might as well have bought lawn seats at that rate. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow at the general onsale for better seats and if not, no biggie. My first Wilco show in Chicago since I moved here. Excited regardless. I imagine 206 does not start over with Row A, so you are about row 40 - nothing wrong with that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
insideoutoflove Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 got two in section 202, row dd (this may be a stupid question, but are the double letter rows in front of or behind the single letter rows?)... then decided to try for a single to see if i could get any closer, and got one in section 102, row k. im gonna be stuck on an airplane at 10 tomorrow or i would have held out for better seats..meh, oh well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcarlile1 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 well, damn, was on exactly at 10, but after going through all the passwords, etc. it says I've got multiple accounts running, I guess because I got a message the first time saying something I don't even know what now, but anyway, wasn't able to get anything, wasn't looking for lawn seats. You know, I really miss the old days before every f***ing person on the planet was looking for tickets! Sorry new fans! Well, I've seen Wilco once this year, guess that must be my limit........... It's easier now to get Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen tickets! WTF! Sorry for the rant people, but I hate TM and all the pre pre pre sales! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 ^^ I would keep trying now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Hapablap Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I got in. Section 101, row R. Wow that was an interesting experience....i tried the jammail presale first right at 10:00, and i got section 101 tickets. The order did not go through, and when i got back in line, all i could get was lawn seats. So i then tried the WXRT presale, and i was able to get the seat that i did. I feel lucky that i got a second chance. I just wondering aloud if they are gonna have better tickets available for the general sale tomorrow. I might try again then.

mdgilmer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The music shell is open to the public during the day, no? I may swing by on my lunch break just for sh*ts and giggles to see where my seats more or less are... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tenderloin Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 is this really a dry show? I just went for the lawn right off the bat...Gotta DANCE man!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nope- no depression here Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 2 in the lawn and 2 in section 205. Now the infighting will start among my friends to see who gets the other pavillion seat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco LP #7 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i ask again: hiow many reserved seats went on sale today, %age wise? How many will be left tomorrow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdgilmer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i ask again: hiow many reserved seats went on sale today, %age wise? How many will be left tomorrow?I can't give you a percentage, but I'm guessing you'll still have a shot tomorrow at decent reserved seats. They stagger this kind of thing from what I remember...

zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I don't know....probably more than Wednesday. Does everybody here think this show will sell out? (I am guessing the answer is yes). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I don't know....probably more than Wednesday. Does everybody here think this show will sell out?

zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Not sure if thats sarcasam, but yeah, I'd expect this to sell-out in less than 5 minutes.I was really asking because I've never been to a Wilco show and have not live here for a few years, so I don't know what the shows at this venue are like.

OOO Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well this is only the second ticketed public rock concert at the pritzker pavilion (i believe), so there isn't much to compare it to, but I would be flabbergasted if it didn't sell out very quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Are there merchandise booths inside? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm thinking they would put it outside of the venue in one of the many courtyards, I don't really see a place inside where one would go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I can't wait to see what the poster for this show looks like! edit. It looks like tickets are officially sold out for today because you cannot even go in to check anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I was really asking because I've never been to a Wilco show and have not live here for a few years, so I don't know what the shows at this venue are like.  No worries, this show is gonna have HUGE demand not only because this is one of the first major rock concerts at this venue (this is the city's billion dollar baby) but even moreso because this will be Chicago's lone show for the Sky Blue Sky Summer Tour, supporting Wilco's most commerically released album to date. Hype has been surrounding this show ever since early rumors started popping up in Spring. People thought it was even too good to be true since Radiohead got denied in their request to play there. There is such a thing to overhype a particular concert, but this night will be special. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I bet just walking into the park will be way worse than The Decembierist. Yeah? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I bet just walking into the park will be way worse than The Decembierist. Yeah?  I didnt go to the Decemberists show, but from what I heard it was a mob scene, and probably would have been A LOT worse if not for the bad weather looming. This show will be somewhat different in that its actually a paid event, and they will have barriers or fences of some sort. That being said, yeah I'd expect the park to be pretty full that day.  Also, I'd be willing to bet they'll have a merch stand there, a poster has already been confirmed, and they might even do a venue shirt as well (hope) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The Decemberist had ever nook and craney of grass occupied by people. Not only that, but general people wandering around or hiding under trees from the rain. I bet people will come to just hear the show from the outside. What do you mean by venue shirt?
