jaashworth 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! Thanks Sarah! We'll have fun regardless....I have seen Wilco from all angles and locations in venues, and it's a great show no matter where you sit. And if I had pulled up the tickets we wound up with in the first place, I probably wouldn't be the least bit upset. But it's tough to have front row tickets staring at you and then lose them due to technical issues!!! I just hope another fan wound up with those seats and not a scalper.... And yes, I can't wait to tell my little girl that she gets to go see Wilco with us this time! :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockinrob Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Tampa DD 8-11!!!! I can't wait. My first wilco show was at this venue in 2005, and that was a wonderful show! I highly, highly recommend looking for that one to download, and not just because I was there. It has all the elements of a great wilco show. After 100s of boots I have collected from them, it stands very near the top. At that show tweedy complained about the front row being too far away (there is space for a small orchestra there 15-20ft or so). when he did this, people jumped up (including me) and I ended up leaning on the stage in the center for the rest of the show. Hopefully this will happen again! The other cool thing that happened was this girl a couple people over from me was on her cell phone during "kingpin". When the screaming section came up, tweedy took the phone from her and ended up talking to her mom on the other end! It was really really funny Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heart full of holes Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You win...for now...lol how long after start did those come up...mine came up 1st pull. Other good tickets keep coming up...saw GG, a, b after I pulled. Not thrilled with that I am on the end of the row....at least on Nels side. First try at exactly 10AM. Center seats. I almost dumped them thinking that they were much further back and I might do better on second try. D'oh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was at that Tampa show in 2005, and the whole Kingpin thing was pretty funny. I have a pretty decent recording of it as well. I wish I had a copy of ALL the Wilco shows I have attended!Come to think of it, I probably got it from suites... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Got tickets for Tampa right at 10 am. Saw row A and absolutely freaked out, thinking it was front row. Have since learned its row 9 but am still happy for the seats! Here's to whining Floridians getting their dose of Wilco! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Can't believe that most of the presales didn't sell out yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 As we await for confirmation and summertime plan making in the Northeast .....I say Congrats to you folks in the Southeast Enjoy!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gopokes Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just bought 3rd row center aisle to Fayetteville. Can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Okay, so the best thing in the world happened to me today! Wilco added a Florida date in St. Augustine on May 16. It happens to be my hometown, with a beautiful amphitheatre that is just perfect for Wilco. Any of you out there within driving distance, I highly recommend this venue! Someone pinch me please, this really is a dream come true! Can't stop smiling! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peteboiler Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Living in Melbourne, I am stoked to see the new St. Augustine date! I am so there on the pre-sale on Wednesday. Can everyone do me a favor and wait until I get front row? (the closest I have been is row 8 last year in Indy - the opening show). And by the way, I'm kidding about waiting. Let's rock!

Mr. Heartbreak Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If anyone wants 2 9th row tickets for the Tampa show, send me a PM. I listed them in the other forum, but no response, and I would rather a VCer get them than a Craigslist denizen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Anyone have any idea what the ticket limit is for the St. Augustine show presale? A friend and I are going and together we need 4 tickets. I suspect it'll be a madhouse at 10AM on Front Gate and we don't want to get our signals crossed. Of course, no one is there to answer this question right now. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bböp Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Do we know who is opening May 10 - 19 in the US? I don't think a support act has been announced yet for the May run, but Kelly Hogan just posted on her Facebook status that she'll be opening the July 3 show in Davenport. Yay!

moxiebean Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It's getting kinda close for not knowing the opening act. Can it be Blitzen Trapper? Please? .A quick check of High Road Touring shows Purling Hiss as openers for WIlco May 10-19 - can't say I've heard of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
