eDfROMOHIO Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm a newbie to the Ryman. I got Section 1 Row J seats 1 & 2. Will these be ok for viewing? Here's a shot from Ben Harper at the Ryman taken from section 1, Row K seat 4. http://media.photobucket.com/image/ben%20harper%20ryman%20photobucket/jonhasnoh/Ben%2520Harper%2520at%2520the%2520Ryman/029.jpg Here Arcade Fire at the Ryman, even further back under the balcony. Looks like probably row M or N. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_W8lIZqBOfdQ/TG1MbXWfbQI/AAAAAAAAAX4/GUnpOIZ97xE/s1600/arcadefire.jpg Looks good to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 so Madison 10/5/11 "overture center presale" states - 4 ticket limit per household. Do the two tickets my wife got in the Wednesday "frontgate presale" count against the "overture center presale"? - In other words, am I limited to being able to only get 2 tickets in the presale today?

You can buy 4 tickets to every show on the tour if you want. EDIT...that doesn't answer your question. Nevermind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine that Overture Center will compare notes with Frontgate. So I think the chances of getting caught "now" are very low. But if all the tickets are Will Call, and you pick up 6 or 8 at the box office, they may very well bust you then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Doing madison presale through overture right now and the available tickets all are way back in the highest level balcony...odd.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 hmmmm....beginning to think venues use the "presale" to get rid of crappy tickets... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 hmmmm....beginning to think venues use the "presale" to get rid of crappy tickets...Strategically it makes sense...if someone buys during a presale and see only the back of the house is availble you might think oh crap it is almost sold out..better to get something rather than nothing!

Divemistress of the Dark Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Wow. St Louis sucked - was online for the general sale right at 11 and ALL that came up - even for a single - was back of the balcony. At 11:03 everything was gone. Didn't realize they'd sell *every ticket*, just about, in the presale yesterday. Which I would have remembered earlier, but I also had to buy tickets for Indy. (remembered at like 4 CST, got online and all there was, was back of the balcony...so figured I'd just try in the gen'l sale...sigh...) Stinks that they have all these right at the same time. Would it kill them to spread 'em out, so those of us who live close to other cities can buy more than one show?! $%^&!! Update: Folks are saying there was nothing in the presale yesterday, either. Just not sure what the combination was for this particular show. Can't complain, I'm going to three others, but I'm a fanatic Nick Lowe fan and wanted to do as many with him on the tour as I could. I'm not ruling out Stubhub but right now they're selling those back balcony tix for $200. Sigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Somehow, scalpers have figured out how to work this system. Wilco is not THAT huge of a band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Divemistress of the Dark Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah, it's weird. I well remember seeing Wilco at the Ryman back in 2002 and the place was half empty. It started getting nuts around the time of YHF, and now - look out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Divemistress of the Dark Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 From the Wilco FB page... Pages and pages of scalpers selling tickets for St Louis. Wow. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/search/?areaID=29&subAreaID&query=Wilco&catAbb=sss Would love to see the band cancel all these and re-sell this venue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or have you been using the "back" button instead of going starting again from the original page? If you mess with the system too much, they will lock you out for 24 hours.
