froggie Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 i doubt they'll play everything they recorded. the no repeats thing might just be a way of saying the sets are different everynight (which they are).. some rarities will probably be thrown on each show though Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 but does the band really want to play Dreamer in my Dreams...I hope so! Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 It is not a matter of how much time they have. If they want to play every song, they could, but does the band really want to play Old Maid, Just a Kid, Dash 7, Dreamer in my Dreams... It'd be nice. Link to post Share on other sites

sureshot Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 is it just me or do the start times seem pretty early? (doors at 6PM on a weeknight?). that can be pretty tough for a lot of people to make. Link to post Share on other sites

shoesgetcold3 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Wow!Thank you to my friends in the band for doing this. Just this morning we were lamenting how cold and dreary it was in Chicago and it is only Dec. 10th. Now the winter will not seem quite as long or as bad with our 5 night hangout coming in Feb. And with the Jeff solo show for his kids school, I can proudly say, I love winter in Chicago! I also take back any questioning of setlists I have done either on this board or in my head.

jc4prez Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Anyone have any clues how much the five pack is going to go for. also does anyone know if they do a service charge for Riveria tickets sold at the vic. I rember last year Andrew Bird didn't have a serivce charge at the vic, but the bright eyes tickets i bought the same day did. just trying to budget for the rest of the week so mabye I can do 2 (if i get enough back re-selling school books then maybe 3) Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember if they've required one in the past.If I recall correctly, the last few times I've bought presale tickets through musictoday, there was not a specific presale password. You do have to be pre-registered on the site, though. http://wilcotickets.musictoday.com Link to post Share on other sites

tkleist Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Need a favor. I will be working at 10am on Wednesday. If anybody is only buying one of the sets of 5 tickets and would like to be my surrogate purchaser i would be forever grateful and would be more than willing to buy you drinks at the shows. Please PM me if you would be willing. Thanks in advance -Todd Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Stupid California. I'll refrain from saying stupid West Virginia, because my offer to Wilco to play five shows at Wheeling Jesuit for the sum total of a lifetime supply of Ramen Noodles still stands on the table, and they can divide it however they wish, if they want to give Pat less that's fine with me. --Mike Link to post Share on other sites
JRiordan Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I always thought the Riv held way more than 2500 people. I thought the balcony was huge (but I've never seen a show from up there). Thought closer to 4000. But I guess I'm wrong ( http://centerstage.net/music/clubs/riviera.html ) Link to post Share on other sites

k8tee Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm going for a pair of 5 night ticket pack but have conflict with Fri...don't laugh...taking my niece to Spice Girls for 16th birthday! I'd love to give those tickets to my stepdaughter and her husband but wonder if tickets are for use by only one holder. Anyone have any ideas how the pack tickets work??? I'd be curious about the pack of five as well and whether the same person has to use all five. I may be able to beg my way for another day off, but you never know. My husband thinks I'm nuts, but five shows?! Dusty corners of the catalog?! C'mon! Wilco was always a side benefit of moving to Chicago, and this just proves it. Link to post Share on other sites
