yacovfb Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was there for the presale right at 10 and no dice...that was quick. Hopefully I'll have better luck on Friday during the general sale. So did anybody manage to get tickets for this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dixiecupdrinker Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nope. Shut out at 10 am on the nose. dcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoggyMagoo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Same here. Shut out at 10 am. Then around 10:20 I started getting error screens and then Sold Out notifications. Do they really sell out that fast?? Could there have been a technical glitch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrjonze Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I did manage to get tickets... it didn't seem to start right at ten by my watch, I think it was a few minutes behind, more like 10:02. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoggyMagoo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Glad to hear someone got tickets. There seem to be plenty available at stubhub starting at $120, so I guess scalpers didn't have any problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RalphPa Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was able to get tix from the presale, but for me I got in right at 10am without any problems. I got 4 tix in Orchestra Row A, which looks like the 4th row (it appears there are folding chair rows AA-CC ahead of row A). I am glad to have 4 tix (which will all be used by HUGE Wilco fans), but one would think they should limit it to just a pair per person for the presale given the small allotment available.

There seem to be plenty available at stubhub starting at $120, so I guess scalpers didn't have any problems. I think the majority of those (if not all) are Ticketmaster tickets. For certain venues, there are certain people who have a season ticket deal where they are guaranteed the same box or exact seats for EVERY event at that venue. Some of those tix are probably due to agreements like that. I know some are probably being illegally sold (against Wilco policy) from the presale, but I don't think that is most of the ones you see at stubhub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoggyMagoo Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Good point. There's a similar dynamic with the Warner Theater here in DC. Thanks, that makes me less bitter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Foggy mentioned, the policy is same with Warner Theater in DC. I got shut out. Congrats to the person who got 4, lucky! I would be a big supporter of Pearl Jam's fan club ticketing, where you have to be a paid member to get fan club seats. Kind of difficult because Wilco is not as large as PJ but it seems like they could generate some sort of policy so that their fans could get tix. As with the Ten Club, the actual purchaser has to go to the will call window to pick them up so it virtually eliminates most scalping because the people who want the awesome seats are actual fans. I did get great seats for the Neil show at the Spectrum, and can't wait for this Baltimore show. Wilco has been very, very kind to us DC metro folks with so many shows within such reasonable driving distances Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IcculusDC Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I got shut out as well...arghh!! I just saw the public onsale is Friday at 10am, which sucks as I am in a meeting all morning. Why have the public onsale on Friday morning? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoose Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I got a pair in row D. I just kept refreshing for like a minute and it kept saying there were no tix available so I started getting depressed, stopped, sighed.. then refreshed like 3 more times and it popped up with seats. They just want you to work for em i guess. I got a pair in row D.

Flying Rabbit Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It sounds like most of us that got tix today during the 2nd round got balcony seats, I wonder if tomorrow better seats will be available? Bummer that people are still not getting tix. Good luck tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bummer that people are still not getting tix. Good luck tomorrow! You can get a look at the view from your section here:http://www.lyricoperahouse.com/Seating-Chart.aspBased on that, I am not sure there's a bad seat in the house.

mdpoet Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 My husband and I were both trying for tix and he was able to get through and get 2. So very happy they added this show! Good luck to everyone who will be trying tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
