Bosco Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 There were one or two "don't they know who I am"s but I read them as tounge-in-cheek. And I have ADD, so I probably didn't actually read ALL the posts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do i just sit here and wait till they go on sale?Hard to know from that description where you are but for Montreal, I was sitting on a page that had a "on sale July 13" message on the right hand side - I think it was in red font and the rest of the font was black. At 10 am, that changed from a "on sale" to "purchase" - but I had to refresh the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I got two for the second night in Atlanta. Tried from 9:55 to about 10:20, constantly rejecting seats that were just too far away. Finally settled for 14th row on the aisle...the farthest back I have ever been for a Wilco show. Of course, every time I removed an order, the site kicked me out and I had to log back in. Guess I should be grateful I got anything at all, based on the other comments on this thread. It's official: unless you are extremely lucky, Frontgate sucks ass.

uncool2pillow Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think it is more people are dissapointed don't really see who is claiming to have a sense of entitlement.... I've been in the Atlanta waiting room since 9:50. Refreshed at 10:10. Still nothing, and I've got two other people on the phone also still in the waiting room. I have seniority in the realm of Wilco tickets, what is this crap?! total bull, got into waiting room at exactly 10 am on atomic clock and sat in waiting room until 10:17 only to be told tickets sold out. thanks for the pre sale. Maybe these are tongue in cheek, but I didn't read them that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevdmc Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Quick question on Amex presale-if my friend gets me two tickets, are the associated with his name. I know they are mailing paper tickets, so I don't think it'll be problem, but if you have some experience, please share Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mayfly Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It took me about 30 minutes to get tickets for Atlanta, both nights, and they might be the worst seats I've ever gotten in a pre-sale. I'm glad that I was able to get any at all today, but I have to be honest. I hate the waiting room. It would have been nice to have a warning about it in the email updates. I've been very fortunate in the past when getting tickets, so I can't really bitch about that. I'm a little more concerned about the difference in price. The Ticketmaster says that tickets are $38 each before service charges. Front Gate is charging $40 each plus service charges. Why is there any difference in the base price? I guess it doesn't really matter since I got my tickets already and I won't stop going to shows (and the differece in price isn't too great), but it still stinks. I hope I'm reading something wrong or missing something and would love to be wrong about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobfrombob Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm still trying to get to the Montreal page, anybody can confirm it's GA?It's GA and it's Will Call only for the presale. I'm taking my chances with the public sale. As someone said earlier, Will Call is inconvenient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knotgreen Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Got tickets for the 2nd night at the Ryman. Sec- Presale 1, row J. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Section 1, row c, seat 2 for 2nd night of Ryman. Only 1 ticket, pretty far over to the side, but 1st row! I'll take it! No luck for 1st night--maybe tomorrow. . . Now, how to get there, where to stay, etc. But yay--I'm in for Raleigh, Meriweather and at least one night at the Ryman. Edit: Now to get back to work so I don't get fired from my new job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 OK. How many people this A.M. used an atomic clock to purchase presale tickets and were successful? This is how I keep time, so maybe I was at a disadvantage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
