gr8fulpete Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Presale has been a disaster. The published link (email and website) simply does not work. The twitter link (the /events link) worked, but by the time I figured it out, all Brooklyn tix were gone. Got 4 for New Haven, but this experience was probably the most frustrating of any Wilco on-sales that I have ever had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Used the net/events and got 4 GA for Portland. Hooray! Thank you, Nalafej! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It definitely feels like not many seats were allotted for this presale, unless if the lucky people don't post here and strictly on FB. Yeah, I'm surprised that Boston is so cheap. Oh well! I'll be spending the extra money when I rent a Tauntaun in late January. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 the 33 dollar tickets are probably back of the balcony... no thanks.Portland tickets are still available... but i wanna take my son, and that's not very convenient. i'll wait for the next batch of tickets.

Heart full of holes Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yikes! It took 20 minutes, but I got two for Pittsburgh, two for Roanoke, and 1 for DC. Couldn't get anything until I clicked the sign OUT button, which magically took me to events page with ticket links. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 By the time I was able to get in, couldn't get 2 together in Boston. I grabbed a single GA for Portland (the entire show is GA, is that usual for the State Theater?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 https://www.crowdsurge.com/wilco/ This page might have less traffic….announced on Twitter moments ago RE Portland GA: Yes! I saw Ryan Adams there summer of 2014 on his first gig in a long time and you could move around wherever you wanted to. There was a nice quiet bar area that had a place to lean on and look out into the show and it was easy to go onto the floor and be very close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Boston had 4 price points: $33.50$40.50$48.00$73.50ahhh ok..good to know..9 times out of 10 NYC shows are at least $15-20 more per ticket than almost all other cities..biggest disparity was Brooklyn vs New Haven (almost half price and only 50 miles away!)

Sun Caught Fire Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I think the valid complaint here is for better information to have been provided as to when the links would work and the correct link. More and more Wilco fans means less and less opportunity to pull tickets in a limited presale. This matters most for the reserved seat shows as it just won't be that hard to find GA tickets and with Wilco the face value is so cheap even if i get stuck going above face value. Managed to pull a single reserved orchestra for both Brooklyn shows a $39.50 GA ticket for both Atlanta and 2 GA for the New Haven show that were also beyond fairly priced.

Cold as Gasoline Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thank you for posting the link above! The email link was not working but this one did. Secured some not-too-hot row P tickets for the Flynn in Burlington, VT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can't believe that Brooklyn price! New Haven comes out to $51 after shipping - wish they would have a free print at home option... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Only single balcony was available for the Orpheum. I had to pass on that. Will try for the real on-sale and hope for a better result. Will be driving to Portland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boss_Tweedy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I was sitting at my computer at 9:00 CST and still couldn't get tix for the ATL shows. Very disappointed. With lightning, rain, and terrible presale arrangements, it seems like the gods don't want me to see Wilco. Bummer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Typical for bands to have small allotments for their own presale. Try for the real on-sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ciregno Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Does anyone from NY know how to get the kings theater presale code? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Once I finally got back on the right link I grabbed two pretty easily for my brother in Burlington. Nothing worth taking for DC though. Anybody know if the IMP Presale on ticketmaster tomorrow has a password? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I miss Front Gate. I agree. I don't like that the stuff with crowd surge is through song kick and the email seems very sketchy. i've also heard crowd surge loses tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I grabbed a single GA for Portland (the entire show is GA, is that usual for the State Theater?)Love GA at the State Theater. Much better than their seating arrangement, in my opinion. I have seen numerous shows there, both GA and seated, including WIlco GA and Jeff solo seated. The GA shows blow away the seated shows in terms of audience energy. So glad Wilco chose to go with GA!

Yaz Rock Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 New Haven still available, just scored one. Totally got sidetracked with work stuff at 10am and missed Brooklyn. The new ticketing page still confuses me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ciregno Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Odd they had single tickets for Brooklyn, but no pairs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The second time that I saw Wilco was at the State Theater in Aug 2004 and it was GA. I met Jeff & Sue outside the venue after the show. I believe it was their anniversary. I think I'll wait to buy a ticket for this show. The 2 hour drive in winter could be a mistake. Speaking of which, can anyone lend any ideas what type of situations constitutes a show to be cancelled in the inclement weather? I know that Boston had several parking bans & the subway shut down this past winter, but certain events still went on. A State Of Emergency pretty much shuts down everything. I have a 45 minute drive to Boston, before I get to use the subway, so I might ponder getting a hotel the night before just to be on the safe side. Anyone else in the same mindset? Was hoping for March dates, but excited to see any dates at all so soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
