hinko Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I was just having a conversation with a friend the other day who was remarking that she came to her first Tweedy solo show at the Vic alone and went back home telling her friends that she felt she had finally found her tribe. Sometimes there's a real benefit in going to shows alone, unless you're very reserved. You make new friends who can relate to this niche interest you have.I've been to countless shows "alone". There were several years that I just sorta kept to myself but in recent years I've met some new friends. I never feel like I'm going alone any longer! Hope to see you guys at at least some of the shows. Wish they had a package deal so I could justify this to my wife! Did they announce the 5 ticket package for the Winter Residency? If I recall that was a bit of a surprise at sale time, could be wrong though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hinko Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Is there going to be a way to buy tickets for all 6 nights? We were able to buy the 5 night package for the last residency and hope to do the same thing this time!I'm thinking possibly. On the etix site, only days 2-6 are shown. On jam, there is one anomoly with the first night page, no "remind me when tickets go on sale!" email field at top like the rest of the nights. That may be nothing but the fact that etix doesn't show the first night may indicate that a package will be available through the jam site. Wishful thinking, probably. Does anyone remember if they announced the Winter Residency 5 ticket package before hand? I'm thinking that was a surprise when I got the tickets. We'll see what happens. I know there's probably one day I can't make it but if I could get a package, it would leave options open and be a much easier purchase. I'm going to look at night 1 first just in case.

Madcap Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I tweeted at Jam when it was announced and they told me that there was not going to be a 6-day option unfortunately. How fast do we think these are going to sell out?? I've been stressing about getting all 6 shows all week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 45 minutes to ticket bedlam. My palms are sweaty. Best of luck to everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not too worry. There will be tickets around. I hope!! It is going to difficult to get tix for all 6 shows today since they are being sold separately. I will be happy to take any extras. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Should I try to buy tickets (will these be will call only)? I can't go but I'd hate to see people here shut out. Anyhow, good luck to all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not so bad. I got three tickets....Friday, Monday and Friday. I think that is enough......good luck all. Honestly people, there are going to be plenty of tickets floating around for these shows. It always happens. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That was a bit painful, but got tix for nights 3,4,5, and 6! Very glad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gatzman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Missed out on Saturday. Otherwise got the ones I can go to. We'll all find a way to attend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Night 1 and 5 for me. Still on the fence for Night 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 keep trying if you got shut out, just got into night 1 to complete my 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benkizzz Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 ^^^ this just got night 2 after being shut out for 10 min. hope you get your shows cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siandam Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well a big sigh of relief. We got in for nights 1, 5, & 6. It's not the same as getting the full 6 night package - which I would have preferred and loved for the original residency. But it is the bare minimum. At least we didn't get shut out - like for the incredible shrinking residency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hinko Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have all 6, keep trying, I've had them pop up 45 min to an hour after sale time. Anyone want me to try for a day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 they're not sold out until the site says sold out. this is how I got into lincoln hall in 2011, just have to be persistent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SlowBurn68 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yes, keep trying. I just finished with two for each night. I can't remember. the Riv. has balcony seating only right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yes, keep trying. I just finished with two for each night. I can't remember. the Riv. has balcony seating only right? Yes, the floor is all standing room, though it does have at least 2 tiers at different levels for standing, and the balcony is all seated. It has seen better days, but it's pretty big. Not sure how many peeps can fit in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hinko Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 balcony seating is very good, always site there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The Riv is a dump, but the balcony is fine. The floor is fine too. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
