billydee Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Got two seats for Philly in the 14th row, then they were all gone a minute later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 My browser freaked out on me, I had to close out and go back in, and I still managed to get a seat in row LL on Nels's side for Philly. I couldn't be happier. That's much better than I expected to get. My Ticketmaster mojo doesn't let me down once again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billydee Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 i got 3 lower balcony seats, i wanted to try for better but was too nervous. i'm happy tho. wow that was stressfulLower balcony at the Tower typically has the best sound and sightlines in the room. I say that as a person that's been seeing shows there since 1977.If it's all "sitters" around you and you're one too you'll love those seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markosis Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Jesus f'ing christ, its a Saturday morning and I should be catching up on sleep. F-CK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Rabbit Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yep, TM screwed me too. I was at the checkout, hit enter and the next window just never came up. I've had more bad experiences with TM than good...why bands decided to work through them, I have no idea.  ARGH!!!!!!!!! "If the event just went on sale, keep trying. When a customer is viewing specific seats, only that customer sees those seats, if a customer decides not to buy, then the seats automatically become available to other customers.If the event has been on sale a while, check back often, many times tickets become available prior to the event."

markosis Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Consider yourselves lucky, those who actually got through. I've been cycling through the same 3 screens for about 30 minutes now. When is it time to give up? When it hits 11:00, I think. I know lining up venues is all circumstance, but someone, SOMEBODY tell me Wilco's tour manager tried to get the show at the Electric Factory. That venue would have fit all of us and then some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sound at the Factory is typically mediocre, often poor although Wilco has sounded pretty decent there in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 The Electric Factory is one of the worst venues I've ever seen a show at, sound wise. It's just a big concrete box (with $8 Yuenglings, if I recall correctly). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazel Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 i didnt think the electric factory was bigger than the tower. last time wilco played there i was there and was able to walk not run down to the front and get a sweet spot inbetween jeff and john.

PigSooie Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 the Electric Factory. By far, the worst place I've ever seen a show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I saw Nickel Creek and Spoon there and enjoyed both. I do agree the sound is bad in spots. You gotta know where to stand, really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird jam Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Well, it's the back row, but I got tickets to the Ryman. Woo hoo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
