Wilco Winter Residency

[Chris_H_2]

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.

 

I think TM would like nothing else than to break up the 5-day pass into individual tickets for each show -- it'll get a service and "convenience" fee for each ticket, rather than a reduced one for the pass.

Yes, everyone should probably calm down a little. This was a pre-sale. It is what it is.

Last chance for the 5 day pass is the xrt presale according the wilcoworld.

Hmm, that's how I read it, and then I saw info about a Saturday general sale on TM page for the pass:

 

Internet Onsale Info

Onsale to General Public:

Sat, 12/15/07 10:00 AM CST

 

Internet Presale Info

Internet Presale:

Start:Fri, 12/14/07 10:00 AM CST

End:Fri, 12/14/07 12:00 PM CST

All I want is my saturday tickets. The less they offer as presale 5-day passes , the better my chances of my tickets. I am kinda worried about being shut out of my sat tickets.

Anybody else thinking that Saturday night is going to be the worst crowd of the five nights?

It will be the hardest ticket

Why not have a pinned thread -

 

Wilco Ticket Information

Websites, Passwords, etc.

Why not make Analogman a moderator? Seems to be perfect for the job.

[OOO]

people still post questions for demos/outtakes even though there is a pinned thread for that.

Great idea...

 

Speaking of that....Does anyone know if the Friday Jam/XRT presale for single day tix is facilitated through Tickbastard or is it though XRT's website? I'm signed up as a XRT VIP and have the password...I just want to be sure I'm on the right website at noon on Friday...

[mastershake]

so anyone think they are going to play those songs from the wilco book? that would be funny if they played the entire wilco book in the same setlist... the people that chose that day would be pretty pissed.

[Elixir Sue]

I'd be pretty damn ecstatic if I got to hear The High Heat.

I actually would like to hear a few of those tunes.....

Nothing on the WW site says anything about the shows not allowing taping. In some ways these would not be "mass marketable" like KT was as they won't have all the "hits" per se like a typical show that has the usual suspects (handshake, shot, jesus etc etc). Collectors and obsessives (raises hand) may be the biggest market for full copies these shows.

 

Have any tapers reported ticket success yet? Warner?

Since these concerts will play everything, all those hits would be there for the taking to make whatever. KT wasnt one concert either, they just took what they wanted from all nights. This would be perfect to record professionally.

 

I wish for a live dvd from this but who knows.

Its Ticketmaster. Its always ticketmaster with XRT. The XRT links take you directly to TM, plus TM is advertising the XRT presale on the event pages (on the right).

 

For the 5-day pass on TM, it says:

The 5 day ticket includes a ticket to each of the following shows:...

 

Did anyone get tix through MusicToday? Can anyone confirm that one would actually get 5 individual tickets? I can't attend all shows so I'd like to sell the tickets for 1 or 2 of the shows I can't go to (face value of course).

Has anyone thought that these boys are going to have to rehearse their ASSES OFF for these shows. Thats going to be way hard. Some one shoot us a total assuming they only play album tracks and no B sides. Thats going to be a memory work out.

[Jimmy Coulas]

They have atleast a month to go through them and I would imagine it wont take them that long. It is going to be an epic set of shows!

if they skip B-sides, there'll be ~96 songs to play.

What I mean here destroyer of beehives, is, a consolidation of knowledge with regards to the means and methods required to purchase tickets to the upcoming live shows of the modern day band Wilco.

 

I don't mean to suggest there were too many threads about the same topic, which can and probably does lead to more disinformation and panic among the members seeking knowledge with regards to the procurement of tickets for the upcoming live shows of the modern day band Wilco.

[Elixir Sue]

If I get to go to one of these, I hope I get the one with Shouldn't Be Ashamed, Say You Miss Me, We're Just Friends, Radio Cure, and Hell is Chrome.

 

Edit: Oh, and without Handshake Drugs.

FYI, it will be one pass per musictoday.com. Everyone should keep this in mind when considering sharing the 5-show pass. There will be some logistics involved with transfering the pass to each other.

FYI, I confirmed with musictoday that the 5-day pass will be 1 ticket that would need to be passed between people if shared.

Yes, it will be 1 ticket.

You will receive a ticket that would need to be shared between 5 people.
