brianjeremy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 They're playing my town in November, but tickets seemed too high. I think they've even reduced them from what they were. Now they're $25-$35. Doesn't seem worth it to me but my brother is bugging me to go. I'll wait until they make some sort of deal for teachers. They did that last year when Morrissey played, which was cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I just realized that the theater where they played last fall still had its 2007-2008 schedule posted. No wonder I couldn't find any information about ticket sales But Pollstar is still showing a date for this November...weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 1st impressions on 2nd Gleam.... I gotta have more banjo. It's a nice EP with good songs that I need to spend more time with. I didn't feel the harmonies like I normally do with their stuff. I also could have went for at least one raucous song with some yelling.I think the point of the Gleam EPs is that they're quiet and acoustic...Bob's not even on them, is he? These guys are playing in my town in November. I'm thinking I should check them out, since we don't get too many good shows, especially once winter arrives.Do it!!

Wendy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I got WAAAAAAAY more than my $5 worth of entertainment when the 3-piece Avett Brothers played Fort Wayne a few years back. I'm a big fan and urge anyone who liked what they saw on those videos (especially the BlueRoom, fantastic!) to just ... go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 $7.50 per ticket is insane. I'd love to see the Avett Brothers in Milwaukee in May, but as of right now I have a conflict. If I do get to go, I'll make sure to head to the venue for my tickets.Ok so now the charge is 8.50, plus 1.00 plus 2.50 to print at home. For a 24.00 ticket. I love the Avetts but i just cannot support ticketbastard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouisvilleGreg Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 They were playing the AB's the other night in Charlottesville before Springsteen took the stage. I have read in more than one place that he's a big fan. I think me and my friend might've been the only people in the arena who knew what was being played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

watch me fall Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I really want to go to the Charlotte show but I absolutely despise that venue. Think I may try and catch them in Myrtle Beach instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I really want to go to the Charlotte show but I absolutely despise that venue.

watch me fall Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 But Charlotte is the "hometown" show! And the first opportunity to buy the new album! Yeah but I'm not a huge fan or anything. Just want to see what the fuss is all about and seeing a show in that arena is definitely not worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah but I'm not a huge fan or anything. Just want to see what the fuss is all about and seeing a show in that arena is definitely not worth it.although I'm sure the show will be great, I think I'm with you on this. I'd prefer to see them, or any band, in a place where they aren't quite as popular. More intimate environment, less crowd equates to a better time for me. These guys feed off an audience so I'm sure they will be on top of things for the Charlotte crowd. You'll leave a fan wherever you happen to see them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

m_to_the_c Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You're going to end up getting them all anyway, but: EmotionalismGleam ICarolina JubileeGleam IIMignonette / Four Thieves Gone / Country Was Mignonette and Four Thieves Gone have a fair amount of road/studio chatter that might not suit someone just checking the band out, as well as Bob Crawford vocals that might be jarring to someone expecting 100% Avett magic. These elements even out after repeated listens (and you will repeat listens!!), but at first you might not have the patience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
