chuckrh Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I got front row center for the first Seattle show yesterday. Woo hoo! I'm very excited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Any info on a pre-sale today through Live Nation? I haven't seen any emails to that effect nor is there one listed on the sale page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks. I was hoping for a pre-sale for the Fillmore shows. I guess I'll try my luck in the general sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dobber_ Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Anyone know the Ticketbastard presale code? Â STARWARS isn't working. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dobber_ Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 It's "Monqui" if anyone wants to grab a single. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollow Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 It's "Monqui" if anyone wants to grab a single.  Password worked, but ZERO tickets available for either show in Seattle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Officially made the decision to go to both Seattle shows, since it's only an extra 2 hours to my 8 hour drive to Vancouver. Looks like I missed out on the presale though, oh well I can't see the general sale selling out that fast.I've never seen Wilco two nights in a row, I'm so excited! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mirrorball Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The LA presale code on Ticketmaster / AXS for today is FRONTROW. Still some decent seats available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duzer Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I just pulled a decent pair for LA Wednesday night using the FrontRow password. Thank you mirrorball Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzle of Dan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 How did everyone do in the general onsales? My wife and I managed to get all 3 nights in LA - 1 night in presale and the other 2 today in general onsale. Super excited for these shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Finally I got some decent seats (way off to Nels' side though) for Sat. in Seattle. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy in SFCA Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 How did everyone do in the general onsales? My wife and I managed to get all 3 nights in LA - 1 night in presale and the other 2 today in general onsale. Super excited for these shows. There was a 5-day ticket option for the Fillmore, which saved me a lot of time and stress. We actually ended up with an extra. So glad it's done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 In for Saturday and Sunday at the Fillmore! My first Wilco show was seeing them on the  Being There tour at the Fillmore so it'll be nice to see them there again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Got that presale password too late yesterday to get any tickets for Thurs in LA, but I got a pair in the balcony off to the side in the general onsale this AM. So we are going to Wed and Thur, got decent center floor seats 13 rows back for Wed from the Wilco presale. Looking forward to hitting Cole's French Dip and The Varnish again! kidsmoke, are you in? Is your son coming again? Like knotgreen, I still want to know if they are gonna do Star Wars every night in LA and SF. I sure hope they don't, but they did it at all the two-night stands earlier this year and last year, I think. Not knowing that Is what kept us for going for all three LA shows. If they do Star Wars every night I definitely do not want to hear it three nights in a row. Two nights in a row is pushing it, but I could deal with that if I had to.

Holdin on to black metal Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Feel very lucky to have gotten a 5 day ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assumed it would be along the lines of the Riviera residencies... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sun Caught Fire Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Perseverance paid off for SF as i kept asking for 1 ticket after the sorry all gone message and eventually (about 10 minutes after they went on sale) i was able to get 2 for Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Psyched for my first California Wilco shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 This west coast swing is impressive and fan friendly. They could have easily done 1 big show in these cities (like they are doing in Chicago and Minny), but instead they are sticking around for weeks to give the fans (relatively) small and intimate shows.  You can't really even compare the Riviera residencies of '08 and '14 to this 5 night Filmore run because The Filmore is a landmark theater kept in pristine shape whereas the Riviera is a dump that isn't maintained. The Riv also seats 2500 vs the Filmore's 1150 so the Filmore is really way > The Riviera run Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Riv may be a dump, but there will always be something special to this New Yorker about seeing Wilco in Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I did not know the Riviera was a dump. I don't live in SF anymore, but I was spoiled by having the Fillmore. It is a fantastic venue and the way it is run makes the concert experience there a cut above for sure. Its like being in Amsterdam or something, like as long as you are cool, you are safe from the laws of the outside world. You don't see any security unless there is a mess to clean up. You do get the guy at the top of the stairs giving away apples saying "Welcome to the Fillmore" as has been the tradition going back to the 60s and they give away free posters at the bottom of the stairs at the end of the show until they run out of a few hundred or so. Enjoy the run!

TCP Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 In for September 2nd and 3rd in Seattle. I got decent seats both nights but probably not the ones I would have wanted, but I don't know how in demand Wilco would be in a venue like that so I took what I could get. If anyone has some advice for the city, it'll be my first time in the US, let me know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 HEY WILCO!!! How about a residency in the NYC area?Like The Allman Brothers & now Tedeschi-Trucks Band does at The Beacon... or wherever... just give us east coasters a shot at a 5 night run sometime!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's my favorite place to see a show. And I agree that the way it is run makes the experience that much better. Currently, the "Welcome to the Fillmore" person is a woman wearing a top hat. I've walked by her at great speed on many occasions. The apples are in a copper bucket at the top of the stairs rather than being handed out. And there are still free posters at most shows.HEY WILCO!!! How about a residency in the NYC area?Like The Allman Brothers & now Tedeschi-Trucks Band does at The Beacon... or wherever... just give us east coasters a shot at a 5 night run sometime!!! Didn't they just play 4 shows in the NYC area in late Jan and early Feb? They haven't played a full show in SF except for an acoustic show at The Independent since 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Well, I'm in for the last 3 nights of the Fillmore run and I am beyond thrilled. Â But I just have to comment about the Riviera being a dump. Maybe it's not a first-rate venue like the Fillmore, but seeing a 6-night residency in Wilco's hometown was about as close to heaven as I can imagine. My memories of that Winterlude run are not even slightly diminished by a funky old theater. Besides, when you're on the rail it's all perfect! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
