lamradio Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I hope they don't come to South Carolina or other areas relatively close to me. I've already bought too many damn tickets to other concerts lately.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Seems like there is a room for a show on the 17th? Jacksonville? New Orleans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 does anyone know anything about Sloss Furnace? I am thinking about trying in the pre-sale tomorrow. If it is GA that will seal the deal for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 does anyone know anything about Sloss Furnace? I am thinking about trying in the pre-sale tomorrow. If it is GA that will seal the deal for me. I read the reviews of the 2009 show there in the After the Show forum and all signs point to GA. "totally awesome and unique venue! The actual space where they have shows sort of looks like a giant airplane hangar from the outside, but inside it's much smaller than you think. And man, the entire place is really, really eye-catching and a testament to a certain era in American history. This venue sounds really cool/neat.totally awesome and unique venue!

And man, the entire place is really, really eye-catching and a testament to a certain era in American history." "And a few reviews say it suffered from overcrowding. It's almost as if the reviewers have never been to a show without reserved seats. I kind of thought it was undersold myself.... " "This venue sounds really cool/neat."

SarahC Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 YES! I am going. Deal sealed. It's a week after my 25th birthday, and it would be the 1st show my husband and I will get to see together (we'll be hitched by then). So excited. Already thinking good pre-sale vibes. I will get in line at 5AM to be front row... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'd call that more of a tour-ette.I can't believe they are pandering to the incessant whining of the Via Chicago Floridians!!!! Vince, join me in the mentioning of how few times the current line up has visited Central and Northern Kentucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xTonyWonder Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I've seen a few shows at Sloss. It is definitely GA. Get there early though. The acoustics are terrible if you are standing towards the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Like I said earlier. I will get there at 5am. No joke. Already talked to Matt about going up there the day before... (or I guess technically it'd be going down...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm so happy for you who will get to see this mini-tour! Have a blast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wishing, hoping, praying for good pre-sale vibes! So hard. It would be perfect honeymoon (part 2) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a blast. I'm gonna side with the shoulder on this one. It's all about ME, and whether or not I can get to a Wilco show on less than a 1/4 tank of gas, and still get home by bedtime. Pandering should begin and end at home, as in MY home. So, yeah, Louisville or Cinci, or right here in Lexington would be just fine. So there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhino4evr Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Got my Miami tickets...want to give a huge Thank you for Wilco Management for keeping the tickets down to $45.00. Which is a STEAL when you consider Van Halen tickets are $165, and Guns N Roses tickets are $190 (BARF). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jaashworth Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Anyone else have major issues ordering tickets online during the presale this morning? I was logged in at 10 am sharp and pulled up row A tickets for the Fayetteville, AR show.....I entered my payment info.....and then the website wouldn't advance any further. I could click the "next" button (or whatever it's called on that page) over and over again, but nothing ever happened. Kept trying until I lost the tickets due to a timeout, and then tried again....pulled row D tickets....and the same thing happened. I finally called FrontGate's customer service (while continuing to try online) and got someone to sell tickets to me, but at that point the best we could get were mid-way back on the far right side. I've been to 30+ Wilco shows since the AM days and never had problems before (and quite a few of the recent shows have been purchased through FrontGate), but I'm extra bummed this time because we're taking our 5 year old daughter to her first ever concert. We're still excited about the show, but pretty bummed that we didn't get the front row tickets that I pulled up originally!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I read about freezes like that in the pinned post at the top of this board. That's really a bummer. I would be upset if I were in your shoes too. Sorry about that, but I am sure the show will be awesome from where you and your family will be sitting! Hope it's an awesome time for your daughter!
