aricandover Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 this blows. does anyone know... when they do "presales," do they allot only a certain amount of presale, keeping others for when they go on sale later? i.e. could there still be tickets for Friday's presale? thoughts? yes generally we get around 10% of the venue to sell via the wilcoworld before the "public" on-sale. that means at most a few hundred tickets are made available for each show. in some instances there will be more than one pre-sale, and more than 10% of the venue is sold.

replacements75 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yay!!! I got one!! Got in early actually, my computer clock still said 9:59. So I guess I have to make my travel arrangements now. I love that I have a job that I can get time off from practically any time I need. If only it paid me more then I wouldn't feel crazy for spending so much to see these shows. Oh well I guess this is my Christmas present to myself. This is so going to rock!!! So I'm coming in from NY. Are any locals going to suggest some bars or something for after parties for each show? Looks like Wilco are suggesting the Green Mill. Last time I was in Chicago I didn't make it there so I have to this time. So where are we going to celebrate after these amazing shows? Link to post Share on other sites
ZenLunatic Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 So they probably have like 250 as of today's presale. Hard to imagine at 2 a person for 5 day passes, it could sell out that quick. Maybe its just too busy. Link to post Share on other sites

Hope to be able to out together some tickets over the next few weeks through friends. ood luck to everyone who didn't make it! Should be a great run... Link to post Share on other sites

ONWARD!! I'm actually suprised that the 5-day passes sold out that fast with still alot more demand for them. I didnt think they would draw that much so quick. I get the feeling scalpers were a part of this. Link to post Share on other sites

Degenerex Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I guess its time to start asking... has anybody who bought 2 5-day passes broken up with their girlfriend/boyfriend in the past 40 minutes? If so, I'd gladly take the extra ticket, and I'll even spoon with you... regardless of sex. Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt think they would draw that much so quick. I get the feeling scalpers were a part of this. They may have been. But I also get the feeling that there's a higher demand for Wilco shows in the band's hometown than what people give them credit for. Also, people are flying in from other parts of the country for these shows. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if you're too despondent to go your self (just imagine the heartbreak of listening to Wilco without that special someone), I will help you out and take your pass. Us Wilco folks stick together!

Also, people are flying in from other parts of the country for these shows. Maybe. also they could have released only a small portion like a 100. I guess we will see if we start seeing 5 day passes being sold by scalpers in the time to come. Link to post Share on other sites

The one pass (instead 5 tickets) certainly complicate things for them. Link to post Share on other sites

kimcatch22 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Looking at this: 5 day pass on Ticketmaster, does it sound like (assuming they don't sell out in pre-sale) there will be 5 day tickets available in the general sale on Saturday as well? I'm trying to figure out if Friday is the one and only shot left at 5 day passes, because our lovely Dean of Libraries happened to schedule an all-staff meeting for--wouldn't you know it--Friday at 10am.

nalafej Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Last chance for the 5 day pass is the xrt presale according the wilcoworld. Link to post Share on other sites
