box full of wilco Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 While trying to pick up some tickets for friends to the Cain's show in Tulsa I was wondering, outside of Chicago or maybe St Louis could Cain's be the toughest venue to get a ticket to a wilco show? I have been lucky enough to see wilco/jt solo there and lucky to have tickets to the upcoming show in May and love the whole atmosphere of this venue, but it seems like it sells out quicker than most other venues. I have always been able to pick up tickets in Dallas, OKC and Austin. But Cain's is always a challenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gopokes Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I don't know about other venues but Cain's only holds 1500 which I would think is pretty small compared to other venues. I know the place in Bricktown in OKC feels a lot bigger than Cain's. The band could probably fill the Brady Theater in Tulsa pretty well, but I guess they have a fondness for Cain's......

Guest Jules Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 They didn't even sell out their last show in Chicago. Maybe that's why they haven't been back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SquashedFrog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yea.... i bet you are right. somewhere in rural oklahoma is probably more hardcore than brooklyn, san francisco, boston, **everywhere** Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pfox7 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yea.... i bet you are right. somewhere in rural oklahoma is probably more hardcore than brooklyn, san francisco, boston, **everywhere** Rural. Tulsa has 1,000,000 people living there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Rural. Tulsa has 1,000,000 people living there. Well, actually it's about 400,000. But it is interesting how "Northerners" view things West of the Mississippi and South of the Mason Dixon line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 are "Northerners" an oblique group that can't be defined by your stated criteria, and require quotation marks? "Northerner" was used as a contrast to "rural". There are quite a few metropolitan, sophisticated areas that lie outside the North (Chicago), West and East Coasts. Also, I have no idea where squashedfrog is from. However, given his citation of Brooklyn and Boston among his troika of cited cities, an assumption was made. But...way to miss my point there.

dthedust Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 cains is a sanctuary in a world of verizon wirelesses', and if not perhaps its age. tickets are hard to get for any big/gish name band . im from kansas city, and we are quite sophisticated, but not enough to get tickets to cains since 2009ish[whenever tweedy rocked the burrito bros. jacket] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
