Preferred B Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks so much for posting - I got through for Wednesday as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 As did I, just now! See you there. I also tried for 12/15 but after filling everything out, I got a page with a sold out message. So it may have just sold out. Try for the 18th, and good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I also tried for 12/15 but after filling everything out, I got a page with a sold out message. So it may have just sold out. Did you try for 1 or 2? I think it's a 2 ticket limit throughout the stand. I'm really happy some VC'ers are getting tickets. Especially happy that I'm one of them!

kidsmoke Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I tried for 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
California_Stars Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I got a pair this morning for the 18th and then another pair for the 15th this afternoon, when I just sat there and reloaded my credit card info about 50 times and it actually miraculously went through. I pretty much spent the entire day stressing and trying. I'm so drained! I was shaking so badly this morning while entering my info that I could barely type. THE STRESS, I SWEAR. I'm glad people are getting tix now. The whole process was a mess. They need to plan better when they know there's going to be such a high demand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hmmm, thought it was a 2 ticket limit total. Anyway, I can get 2 for Sunday right now, but I'm not going to, just in case.....now that the price has gone up ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
California_Stars Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I thought it was 2 ticket limit for each night? But I don't even think they are enforcing that. Sounds like a number of people ended up with multiple pairs for the same night and it sounds like the venue/ticket company isn't doing anything about it? Confusing!

cre618 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Final night at Largo (Thursday) is available now! Just bought them. So, now I have 4 total (Wednesday/Thursday). We'll see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
California_Stars Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Also, I agree with what was said above. It was sneaky what Largo did by upping the ticket prices after the site crashed this morning. My first set of tix purchased at 10am was about $80 total. My second set bought later was over $100. If anything, we should get a discount for all the frustration! =/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yes, but Thursday seems to be sold out already. May be something left for Wednesday. They set a 2-ticket limit per show. I was sweating it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy in SFCA Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I can't believe The Fillmore sold out so quickly! Glad I was able to get mine :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Back here in SoCal there are STILL tickets available for the first night at Largo. Man, this onsale was quite the clusterf*&k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I trust tried and it said sold out once I got to the "finish" button. Hurm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzle of Dan Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Really? I trust tried and it said sold out once I got to the "finish" button. Hurm. I tried the same thing. No dice. It let's you input all your info then says SOLD OUT after it tries to create your tickets. Super bummed about these shows. I was at work when they released the higher priced tickets in the afternoon, so I missed that boat. Going to call the Santa Barabara box office tomorrow morning to see what the best I can get for that show is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Damn, sorry you guys missed out....the whole thing was executed horribly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzle of Dan Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Got tix for the front setion of the balcony in Santa Barabar. Checked out some pictures of that place and it is a seriously beautiful theatre. It will be a fun spot to see Jeff do his solo show. Glad I got at least one show on this solo jaunt. Now to cross my fingers and see if I know anyone who can get me into at least one show at Largo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I will be a Santa Barbara, as well. Except for the drive, it should be a good venue. BTW, here is Largo's fb post about it: Hey Everybody,Thanks for your patience with us in resolving the ticketing situation for the week of Jeff Tweedy shows coming up.The duplicate sales are being taken care of and those that feel they were robbed of tickets were the ones who unfortunately had either timed out their carts by logging them in far too earlier, or you were simply one of the many that were too late as all tickets went nearly instantly (which was a first for us too). Those of you who have any further questions please contact us at LargoNews@gmail.com, Thanks! Looking forward to an amazing week of shows! I emailed them with my complaint and they wrote back saying I would be on a 'wait list' for any duplicate tickets that get sorted out. If still interested, you may want to give it a shot.

calvino Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 WOW, I don't know what show you were at, but the Jeff show to close the first Solid Sound is probably my all time favorite Wilco related show ever and this is coming from someone who actually saw Uncle Tupelo. I'd imagine that was the largest crowd that Tweedy played in front of - solo, correct? I have this show on my hard drive, but never gotten around to listen to it.

kidsmoke Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You should really get around to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosco Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd imagine that was the largest crowd that Tweedy played in front of - solo, correct? I have this show on my hard drive, but never gotten around to listen to it. I don't know what the largest crowd was, I do know the field wasn't as packed as it was for the night before (Wilco), the following week he was at Philadelphia Folk Fest which had a nice crowd, he has also played Farm Aid solo, that's a pretty big audience.

calvino Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I forgot about Farm Aid, that maybe his largest --- he played a LouFest solo, it pretty packed for that, too. Anybody know what his largest solo show was - audience wise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Gotta think that Farm Aid would've been his largest solo performance, though I wasn't there so I don't know how it would compare to LouFest or other fests. I mean, it can be kind of hard to gauge crowds at events like a fest in terms of how many people he actually played in front of. He also played solo at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF a few years back, but that's such a sprawling event (from what I hear) that who knows how many people actually watched his set? Anyway, also wanted to post in this thread that the good folks at Largo sent out a note today to apologize for all of the ticketing snafus and to say that proceeds from all of the shows would be donated to a charity. I think that's pretty cool. (As you can read, apparently tickets were always supposed to be $50 for the show, so they gave a link for people who accidentally paid $40 to donate an additional $10 to the charity.) At any rate, here was the missive: Hello Everyone, We are so excited that Jeff Tweedy chose Largo for his upcoming December shows! It will be an early Xmas for so many of us fans. All of us here thank you as well, for your patronage and support for this and our many other fantastic shows. There is also an apology that we owe to each of you for what was a difficult, confused, and mangled buying experience when purchasing your tickets. In short, there were a number of technical and human errors that have propelled us into a very embarrassing situation concerning ticket sales. One part of this situation involves the actual ticket price. The price for these shows is $50 per ticket. This has always been the price contracted between Jeff Tweedy and Largo. We made a typographical error when creating the show and an email notice that we sent out about the upcoming sale, and listed the price as $40 per ticket. The error was spotted and, we thought, corrected before ticket sales commenced on Friday morning. It was not until the crashed sites were being repaired right at 10 AM that it was brought to our attention that tickets were indeed selling for $40. As a result of our error coupled with the technical malfunctions that morning, there were a small number of $40 tickets sold for each show. We, of course, assume complete financial responsibility for the difference. We have also felt inspired to donate Largo's proceeds from each of the four nights to our favorite charity. The Littlest Tumor Foundation. It is also, however, our contracted responsibility to make every reasonable effort to ensure that each ticket is purchased for the same $50. To that end we have created a special $10 coupon available to those ticket holders that paid $40 each. If you choose to, you may purchase a coupon and know that those proceeds as well will be donated by Largo directly to The Littlest Tumor Foundation, an organization very close to our hearts. We are very sorry for this weekend's confusion, and look forward to earning your good faith and seeing you here for even more great nights! Thank You, -Largo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
