srmt Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hi People, Just wanted to let you know that we WILL be doing our annual benefit show(s) at the Vic. The shows will be the weekend of April 15,16. More details coming soon. Thanks,srmt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yee haw!!! Thats some fabulous news..sucks for all the accountant Wilco fans out there though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Aww, this is one of those many times that I'm so envious of you Chicagoans out there. What I wouldn't give to be there for these shows! (Well, I guess what I wouldn't give is about $1,000, which is the bare minimum this would cost in airfare, hotels and tickets.) Sadly, it is just not feasible. So I'll have to make it on memories of many past shows, anticipation of Solid Sound, and hope for more shows within driving distance (DC? Virginia? Maryland?) I'm really happy for all of you who will be able to get out and enjoy these shows. I hope they'll be available for download later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinese Apple Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 ..sucks for all the accountant Wilco fans out there though. Maybe it will console them if he plays "Spiders (Kidsmoke)". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bcart12 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Very excited for these. Makes living in Chicago in the winter a bit more bearable. Thanks Sue and Jeff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsarnerphoto Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Awesome! Just booked my flights (although in retrospect, I probably should have waited until I had tickets ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Does anyone(Sue) know when tickets go on sale for this. I forget, I blacked out last year from the time I got my tickets till a few days after the show. My offer still stands by the way for Jeff's ride back to Kentucky.

Brewinhand Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Where might one purchase tickets on said date / time? Through WilcoWorld.net, the Vic directly or somewhere else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 A listing in the Chicago Reader today indicates tickets are through jamusa.com. I don't see info on Jam's site yet though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Madcap Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 any idea if there will be balcony-only pricing like last year or if all tickets will be one price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bcart12 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 any idea if there will be balcony-only pricing like last year or if all tickets will be one price? Every year they have had tiered ticket pricing. Sue will give us all the info once it's ready. Just be patient folks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'll be on the road Sat when Jeff at the Vic and MMJ in Lexington go one sale. My troops will be assembled with my credit card ready but one can still be nervous. Be driving up to Chicago friday morning for the Vic,home in time for a drunken surprise party for a friend Saturday, and down to Lexington sunday for Keenland and MMJ. I married a great woman...hopefully my shits not in the front yard when I get home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulcalypse Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 What do these solo benefit shows usually cost? Weren't tickets in the $100s range last time? I can't remember. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I believe mine was under $50 even after service charges last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulcalypse Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 April 16 is record store day if anyone is interested in that. Might be cool to go to a big record store in Chicago on that day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ms. yvon Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 as it turns out there is a 1 hr. difference between Lexington time and Chicago time so i was able to sweat about getting my morning jacket tickets, then sweat about the jeff tickets. this should be a fantastic weekend!
