watch me fall Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 August 8th - Cary, NC - KOKA BOOTH AMPHITHEATRE That definitely looks like an interesting venue.. Hmm.. Charleston one night, NC the next.. Very tempting... Definitely have to discuss this with my wife.. Thinking of attending Watch Me Fall? Thinking about it, yep!

lamradio Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I would so be in NC! however it's right in the dates I can't take off. I can't do Charleston, can't do NC... I feel like crying Sorry to hear that Maddie.. Thinking about it, yep! I'd LOVE to go to both, but my wife is going to take a little convincing.. I'd like to go just for the venue alone.. The reviews on the website say "Felt like I was watching a concert in my backyard". It's about a 4 hour drive to Charleston for me, and then a four hour drive to Cary, NC from there.. We'll see.

It's all in the way you present it to her. You gotta make it sound like a vacation! The venue does sound really cool, alot like the amphitheater in Raleigh where I saw Tweedy solo a couple of years ago. I looked on their website and saw that Duran Duran is playing there also!!

PearlJamNoCode Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Just found out about the new dates... I'm pretty excited for that Wilmington, DE show... the venue holds 1100 people! Any word on when tickets or a presale might be for this date? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any word on when tickets or a presale might be for this date? I live in Wilmington and the local word is that general ticket sales will begin on April 25th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 If that's true, then I'd guess the presale would be next Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhh4321 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 just looked at the tanglewood website for the lenox, ma show and it lists andrew bird as the opener. could he be playing a bunch of shows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 just looked at the tanglewood website for the lenox, ma show and it lists andrew bird as the opener. could he be playing a bunch of shows?sometimes i regret moving to florida. Then again I can drink beer on the beach anytime I want. Wilco join me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KJAM Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Here is the latest update from our local news source here in Wilmington: Wilco is coming to The Grand, and tickets are going to be $35. But keep in mind, those tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. April 25, and are only available at The Grand or by phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KJAM Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 does this mean a campout? i imagine its gonna be close to impossible to get through on the phone. If you think about it...it could be a good thing. If you line up early enough, you are guaranteed tickets since there are no other sources for tix that day except by phone. You don't have to worry about the on-line tix sales snatching them all up while your standing in line. Sorry to those of you who don't live in the area...I know this does you no good!

Planetchad Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 August 8th - Cary, NC - KOKA BOOTH AMPHITHEATRE I'm excited about this--it's only about 5-10 minutes from my house. And it's a nice venue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 does this mean a campout? i imagine its gonna be close to impossible to get through on the phone. Don't forget about the Wilco presale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm excited about this--it's only about 5-10 minutes from my house. And it's a nice venue. Per Andrew Bird's website, he will be at All Points West Festival in New Jersey on Aug 8, so perhaps he won't be able to make this North Carolinia Wilco show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PearlJamNoCode Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Don't forget about the Wilco presale. I'm banking on the wilco presale for this DE show. I live close enough that I could be there on Friday at 10 or even campout, but I'd much prefer sitting in front of my computer and buying the tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spacepanda Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 8/12 - Wilco/Andrew Bird8/13 - Radiohead/Grizzly Bear A good two days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent. I may try for a ticket for the Wilmington show, too. I haven't decided yet. I wasn't going to, but then I realized that Wilmington is less than two hours from my parents' house.

BigWheeledWagon Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 8/12 - Wilco/Andrew Bird8/13 - Radiohead/Grizzly Bear A good two days. Wow! "A good two days" is an understatement. To begin with, seeing Wilco and Radiohead back to back would be dream come true (hell, seeing them at all would be amazing, but back to back?!), but the opening acts alone would be an amazing two days.

hazel Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 yeah, it is a good thing,...i didn't forget about the pre-sale, i am hoping to get lucky with that,..if not i'm gonna have to decide if i want to camp out or just go real early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Good chance Andrew Bird would open as he will be in NJ for All Points west on Aug 8th so he is in the area! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I like that the headline over on WW is "Initial summer tour dates just announced." That suggests there are more to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I like that the headline over on WW is "Initial summer tour dates just announced." That suggests there are more to come.Yes, the word 'initial' stood out to me too. They also seem to be coming to the west for Oregon and San Francisco, so hopefully, they stop in the desert.

KJAM Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Does anybody know if the band generally gets the ticket rights to the first two rows at the venues the play? I was promised front row tickets to the Wilmington show from a connection I have at the venue...but was just told that I can not have them because the band has reserved the first two rows. Just curious if I am being told the truth or if I am being intentionally misled. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
