Elixir Sue Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just got tickets for both Chicago Theatre shows.Oh shit. I didn't realize those were on sale yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i've got an extra front row Orch Pit for Thur night if anyone has a decent Friday night to trade (preferrably first 10 rows on the main floor) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChooChooCharlie Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I hate to be the "brag about seats" guy (I hate that guy), but I'm so pumped I had to share this.... 4 seats for Friday, PIT row CCC Weird thing is I got them around half hour after they went on sale -- I had already bought 4 other seats, and was just speculating for better ones. Are these as amazing as they appear to be? I've never been to the Chicago Theater. Anyone know if they are lower than the other seats (thus "pit"), or anything else about this section? Thanks in advance. My 4th MMJ show could very well be my fav. And I love Evil Urges, though not as much as Z or It Still Moves (...yet anyway). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Oh, you lucky!!! Those are some great seats! Congratulations! I don't believe the pit tickets are any lower than the main floor, just a helluva lot closer. I'm going to the Chicago Theater tonight for Eddie Izzard, so I'll scope it out and report back if you like. We're on the right side in row MM for Thursday. [masking serious ticket envy] I'm content just to be in the building [/masking serious ticket envy] I was at that Ryan Adams show last fall, but on the floor. I'm not sure I've ever sat in the balcony there. I can tell you that it's an absolutely beautiful venue and the acoustics are great - it's one of my favorite places to see a show here. You'll have a great time no matter where you're sitting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me, maybe 1/3 of the fun of going to shows is looking forward to that show. If it makes your ticket envy feel any better, your Thursday seats are better than mine Solace -- the CCC thing hadn't occurred to me. Maybe its concert karma (I was going to make a lame cc email joke here, but realized my MMJ euphoria was blurring my comedic judgment). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me, maybe 1/3 of the fun of going to shows is looking forward to that show. If it makes your ticket envy feel any better, your Thursday seats are better than mine CCC, the pit seats are indeed right up in front and maybe even slightly higher than the rows behind them. They're fantastic seats. Congrats! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe tickets are available already. I just moved here, so my credit card billing address is still out of state. I'll visit the box office instead of ol' ticketmaster.com.

IcculusDC Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Just bought the album and just finished listening to it for the first time. It will not disappoint -- just an awesome record. There are a few tunes that are quite different from what they have done prior to this album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lynch Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I hope Amazon.com has their shit together and I don't have to wait too long after June 10 to get this. I was hoping the whole point of "pre-order" would be to make sure I got it the day of release. But, whatever. It sucks not having a decent record store in this town.

Whenever I have a release I am highly anticipating I run down to an indie store here a few days early and they almost always have it on the shelves before the release date -- in a big city the stores don't have a lot of room to hold records until they are officially released, so they tend to put the stuff out there as soon as they get it.
