Shining Sunbeam Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Good question regarding Montreal. That's the show we are contemplating. I'd like to know one way or another. It's a bit of a risk, though, that time of year, having to drive from Rochester, NY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gr8phl40 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 :yesHey all, I'm new here, just wanted to share how stoked I am to have gotten row H on the floor for Portland!!!I can't wait!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 And speaking of Montreal (wasn't somebody speaking of Montreal?), I don't think I've ever been to Olympia. I get the impression that they do both reserved seating and general admission shows there. Is this correct, and if so, do we have any idea which configuration they'll use for Wilco?Going all self-referential and quoting myself because I'm about to answer my own question for anybody who is interested. According to Front Gate, Montreal is general admission. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
othersongs Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 just getting ready to get some tickets to the Hamilton show.Ironically, just went to a Wilco show a week ago... Anyway, any word on opening acts for the Ontario leg of the tour? Is it going to be Grizzly Bear? That would be incredible!Unlikely though, they'd likely be doing their own headlining tour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
othersongs Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 FUCKKKK MEEE!!! I HAD SECOND ROW TICKETS THROUGH FRONT GATE FOR HAMILTON SHOW - AND THEN I OPENED A NEW WINDOW WHILE CHECKING OUT JUST TO SEE IF I COULD GET BETTER SEATS, IT CHANGED MY FIRST WINDOW TO THE OTHER SEATS AND I LOST THE SECOND ROW SEATS! WHY WAS I SO GREEDY!!! FUCK ME! SHIT NOW I DIDNT GET ANY SEATS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hippycat Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Row N for London, Ont presale. Was hoping for better, but since I won't be home during the day for the Ticketbastard sale, that's as good as I can expect. Oh well. Got my hotel all booked and should be a good time. London is a fun town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 How did everyone do re: Frontgate and the Hamilton show? I wore out the "refresh" button on my keyboard prior to the scheduled start-time and got "in" @ 6:58am (Vancouver time). Managed 2 in Row G which, initially, I thought was pretty good until I figured out that there are rows aa-hh ahead of the regular rows, which puts us at Row 14, about half-way back...hmmm.

I know nothing about your venue, just an observation, but I think when they start stating the letter of the row twice, like "DD", it's because they ran out of single letters, a through z, and had to start over, putting DD in the 30th row, not the fourth. Hate to piss on your picnic and I hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daranih Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yeah, in most concert halls (at least in Canada eh), the AA+ is the orchestra pit, where the orchestra would be if they were doing a broadway production or something to that effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barnyard pimp Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 OMG THEY ADDED VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feb 12th! Happily eating my words earlier in the thread.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiatortunes Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Victoria! Outstanding! We will definitely be on a ferry to the Island that afternoon. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lodestar Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Oh my God. I have the biggest fucking pit in my stomach right now. I live in Victoria, have been waiting for this forever, and I've been planning for the past year to move to Barcelona in January. How pathetic would it be if I delayed leaving a month just to see Wilco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 OMG THEY ADDED VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feb 12th! Happily eating my words earlier in the thread.... They probably heard about my favorite Indian restuarant there. Might be time to ride the Victoria Clipper from Seattle! I know about the band, what about the theater?!? Is it a nice venue?

Beautiful, very tiny theatre, or at least it feels that way when I'm in there. Their website allows you to choose the exact seats you want, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barnyard pimp Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm curious how they intend on getting to Vancouver for the show the next day -- surely all ferries are booked, especially with the buses they'd need to accommodate? Or do Wilco have ways of making things happen... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiatortunes Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 How pathetic would it be if I delayed leaving a month just to see Wilco? Not pathetic at all. All modes of transportation to the Island might be tricky if not slower due to the Olympics. We've decided to avoid the ferry crap, save time and fly harbour-to-harbour instead.
