dkat Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Both Brooklyn shows sold out in 30 seconds? Come on. Fans don't stand a chance on Ticketmaster. Wilco- Please sell all your tickets through your fan site or find some other method. Disgusted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 They didn't sell out in 30 seconds. I got mine a few mins after 11. Then again I was only looking for 1, how many did you try for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I pulled centre section seats for both shows for a friend around 8:30am (Vancouver time). Definitely not up front but not bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMal Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I was bummed cause I tried via the Ticketmaster app which I usually have great luck with and when I logged on at 11 on the dot, I was informed that they weren't selling via the app - so I missed my shot at good seats. bummer!

brown eyes dreaming Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 For those still looking for tix for 2/5, I was able to pull 2 tix after refreshing several times. Seats are not great - section 4 and section 10. But, even after i threw these back, I was able to pull more tix. Keep trying! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yep. "Tix not available at this time" does not mean "give up". Keep trying until it says the event is sold out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yep. "Tix not available at this time" does not mean "give up". Keep trying until it says the event is sold out.it does in Boston: No tickets right now, but...Get a text in case more tickets become available. Message & Data Rates May ApplyNeed accessible seats?Click "Request Accessible Tickets" at the top right of this ma but a friend made an astute observation that Saturday is open on Wilco's tour, and the Orpheum is likely open too.... 2nd night?

remphish1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I was bummed cause I tried via the Ticketmaster app which I usually have great luck with and when I logged on at 11 on the dot, I was informed that they weren't selling via the app - so I missed my shot at good seats. bummer!Sorry to hear that happened! I was on too and am thankful I got one earlier in the presale but was looking to get a pair..oh well flying solo Friday night! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I was able to get two tix for Saturday night about ten mins in on the mobile appThey are in the last row of the right balcony. Probably the last two tickets sold! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Shackleford Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I was bummed cause I tried via the Ticketmaster app which I usually have great luck with and when I logged on at 11 on the dot, I was informed that they weren't selling via the app - so I missed my shot at good seats. bummer! I got that message for DC at first on the app, but then it started working a minute or two later, and I ended up with better seats on the app than the web site. Clearly they're still working out the kinks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It was a mess no mobile sales was a challenge I went directly to phones and got a balcony pair at 10:01 as Best Available. In my opinion the main problem for the quick inventory depletion is directly related to the Large ticket limit 8 Seats. For Orpheum Theatre there is only 2,700 seats that is bad decision making by Wilco Mngmt. That is why 25% of the ticket inventory for this show is on Stubhub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
