jsarnerphoto Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Wow, that was fast! And I'm pretty quick on the captcha. There was a 2 ticket option when I got through but I never made it to the next step. The whole thing could not have been 30 seconds after they went live! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Agreed. Wilco followed the same procedures at Irving Plaza in 2004 (slightly larger venue) and getting in was smooth. The only time this procedure didn't work for me was when Wilco played Roseland, but apparently that was a venue-specific problem. (And Wilco have not played there since, thankfully. Bowery & Irving and much better anyway.) I have been to at least 30 shows at the Bowery..The are a very efficient oiled machine. I am not the slightest bit worried about the willcall for this show (Assuming I can score a ticket!) I have seen Depeche Mode here in a similar situation and it worked flawlessly.

hazel Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I didn't get in for tarrytown...hopefully my luck will be better on Friday. In the mean time if anyone has an extra they wanna sell, send me a PM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarkyMark77 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I did wonder about the ticket prices. I paid $30 to see Wilco in Iowa City last year, and thought that was about right. I also think ticket prices in general are very inflated. So, I'm surprised to see a $45 solo Tweedy ticket. But, it is what it is. If people don't like it, they don't have to go. I would also be surprised to find out that it was Jeff's doing somehow. He's not really a greedy guy. Either way, I'm still wishing there is more to this than east coast dates!

Im happy. I live close by and will use the membership. I have family who live in west nyack so I have a place to stay. I really wanna go! I wont be near a comp on Friday either. I'm thinking I will just take a ride up that weekend, go to the venue on Monday and see if I can score a ticket that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 For anyone else interested in Charlottesville, I just called the Paramount and found that they are are doing a presale to members only beginning at 10:00 on Thursday. Membership at the associate level (the cheapest) is $75.00. So for anyone who actually lives in C'ville, that might be a good option for you if you get shut out of the Front Gate presale. I'm guessing that with the savings on service charges, etc., it might not be that much more expensive to sign up for membership if you were able to pick up 4 tickets at the box office on Thursday morning. Not an option for me, unfortunately, but just FYI for anyone who does live in C'ville. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
