RaspberryJam Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 So, WilcoWorld is saying presale starts August 21 and since the concert is August 12, this seems pretty unlikely. I was assuming that is was a typo and meant April 21 (TOMORROW!). I checked MusicToday and it doesn't even have it listed. Any intell? Anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Is this Tanglewood show the New England show instead of The Pines? I used to go to Tanglewood to see classical stuff as a kid. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 yes, it looks like Tanglewood is it. The only acts scheduled for the Pines so far is Melissa Etheridge and Ani DiFranco. I always said I would see anyone at the Pines even if I didn't like them. But I'm skipping both of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I assume Tanglewood is reserved seats.... LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since it says general tickets are on sale at Tanglewood.org on August 25, and it is really April 25, I'm going to try for the Music Today presale tomorrow morning anyway.

Me too, but it concerns me that the show isn't listed on the MusicToday site. According to the Tanglewood site, they are on general sale on Wednesday. I wonder if subscription owners get first dibs too? Unfortunately, my friends are too lowbrow to belong to Tanglewood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Surely it's a typo. I may not be able to log in for the presale, so I might just wait and try my luck Friday in the general sale. I have a friend who lives very close to Tanglewood and goes there quite a bit. It will be reserved seating in the front (under the "shed" part of the "Music Shed") with plenty of lawn seating behind. In the past, he's said they put up video screens, and Tanglewood usually lets you bring food and drinks in. I saw the symphony there a few years ago, and it's really a lovely place. I can't wait to go back. I'm a little disappointed they're not playing the Pines again, especially with the mediocre schedule they've announced so far for the summer. I'm holding out a tiny bit of hope that they might announce an August 10 show there. It probably won't happen, but it would be terrific if it did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I went to Tanglewood as a kid (many moons ago) and while the shed is okay for seating I recall the lawn as being not so great a place to see. But I am sure you can hear. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I was on the lawn when I was there a few years ago. I couldn't see anything, and we weren't that far back. I was able to walk to a place where I could at least take a peek at the stage, but I'm not sure how tightly packed the crowd will be. I'm definitely going to try for a seat, but Wilco while spread out on a blanket under the stars isn't the end of the world, either. I don't think season ticket holders get first crack at tickets, but I'm not 100% sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clumber Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 It's fixed on Wilcoworld (now says April), though still not showing as an option for Music Today. Hopefully they will fix that in the morning, before 10am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 As of 8 AM, still not on Music Today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wallflower77 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just got two tickets, we're right up close but aaaaaaalllllll the way off to the side. Can't wait! Robin ETA: Section 2, row N after haggling with my username on Music Today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Section 2-row E, looks like way over on the Pat side, if anyone on Nels side wants to switch, PM me. So happy. I can rest now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 You should be able to view/download a detailed seating chart here: Tanglewood seating chart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Section 1, row F Raspberry Jam, I also ended up buying a ticket on Nels's side, section 3, row L. I might have a friend who wants it, but if not, I'll be putting it up for grabs here. I'll give you first crack at it if you want. That's actually the ticket I bought first, then I figured I'd check one last time and managed to pull up the one in section 1. There are still good seats coming up now. It's nice to see a presale not selling out immediately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChooChooCharlie Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 They play Tanglewood, but no Ravinia in the CHI?? And I thought Wilco was a "Chicago band." The only way they could make up for this is if they play like, I dunno, 5 shows in a row here AND do Lollapalooza this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giraffo Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 if anyone has 2 extra tickets, I will gladly pay for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vulture19 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 YES!!!! Section 4, Row G, seats 11&12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now for the truly bizarre part of my Wilco day. I've seen one show before (Cleveland). So as I do my little "I've got tickets" dance, one of the students we have in house today mentions that she has seen Wilco once before. In Cleveland. In the same row I was in. Given that Cleveland is a 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
