nalafej Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Then maybe Tulsa is the anomaly. GA Pit is $45 and Reserved is $39. Either way...glad both theaters removed seats on the floor for these shows. I think it is about two things supply & demand. They are looking at age demographics in these cities and incomes and figuring out what people are willing to pay to be close and also to sit. I am doing the same except I am skipping Missouri. Other 3 states are new to me too. I'm in for Lincoln and Tulsa. Skipping KC. Wish I could do Santa Fe! We will have to do a mini VC meetup.

SarahC Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 day 2 of pulling absolutely nothing. I give up. it's not worth the hassle. I'm clocking in at work late for nothing. this is dumb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnBradSC Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 day 2 of pulling absolutely nothing. I give up. it's not worth the hassle. I'm clocking in at work late for nothing. this is dumbI am still "searching" (or churning) on Ticketmaster for the Asheville show, after refreshing immediately at 10:00 am. I am certainly not a complainer by any means, but I go to anywhere from 10-15 shows a year and can't remember the last time I had such a hassle trying to get tickets. This is ridiculous.

downisthenewup Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 So the Birmingham presale isn't even happening?!?! It just skipped it totally Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ashville show now has the map....seats are there...not great ones but decent.That's the thing though. I'm not spending the money if it's not a good seat. I can't see shows like I used to anymore so it really has to be worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am no longer grumpy. I ended up with 3rd row for Birmingham because of crazy luck, and 4th row pit for Atlanta by magical circumstances. The staff at the Fox is super awesome. Holy cow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wound up pulling row F for Birmingham via today's presale. I don't think Wilcoworld had a good allotment for this gig. Looking on stubhub yesterday after the presale, there wasn't anything better than row L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've had good luck going to the Fox box office instead of buying online but I figured they couldn't help today since it was just a presale. Did you call them or go by the box office?

Did you call them or go by the box office? actually I reached out on social media and they gave my info to ticketing. The ticketing lady called me a little after 11 and asked if I would like 4th row pit. I said "absolutely!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I just pulled a very nice seat for Asheville but a friend was also looking and found a slightly better seat so now I am offering this one for sale. It is center orchestra row E seat 15. I believe I can transfer it to you via Ticketmaster since I chose the eTicket option. Total including fees is just over $100. Anyone?

SarahC Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Got OR row E for Asheville. Super stoked. I think they're releasing in waves, but I jumped as soon as I got something decent. I'm almost positive its the same exact seat I had for my very 1st Wilco show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooge Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I've been to hundreds of shows, dozens of Wilco and NEVER seen anything like this! Asheville presale seamingly went entirely to scalpers. Did anyone here get presale? At 10:01 AM public onsale all Orchestra seats on Ticketbastard were "verified resale seat". I even saw a $3000 OC Row M at 10:03 AM HAHAHAHAHA!!! What a joke! Why don't they use wristbands or require will call with ID to stop scalpers??? My Morning Jacket did this at Thomas Wolfe last fall with no problems. I couldnt even buy a ticket for that show on craigslist because it was non-transferable. Fucking bullshit. At the very least dont use Ticketbastard that caters to the scalpers on their own website. Rant over..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The Irving gig which is the fist Live Nation venue Wilco had played in the D/FW are is apparently now cutting out the scalpers and is in turn a scalper. You can right now buy 1st row seats in front of Cline for $295 + fees each which is not a resale seat but venue pricing. On the 10th row center you can get seats for $165 + fees. I think i'll stick with my 13th row center for the $70 +fees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Looks like Margaret Glaspy (and presumably her band) will be opening at least some of the Sept/Oct dates, which is good news. Saw on Facebook that she's been added to the Memphis date.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saw on Facebook that she's been added to the Memphis date.. Rumor confirmed..... and for the record, her "You and I" > Wilco's "You and I". So, yeah. Margaret Glaspy joins Wilco this October supporting shows in San Antonio, Dallas, Memphis, Birmingham, Atlanta and Asheville.Tickets: wilcoworld.net/shows/Dates below.Oct 2 — Tobin Center for the Performing Arts— San Antonio, TXOct 3 — The Pavilion at Irving Music Factory — Irving, TXOct 5 — The Orpheum Theatre-Memphis, TNOct 7 — Alabama Theatre — Birmingham, ALOct 8 — The Fox Theatre — Atlanta, GAOct 9 — Thomas Wolfe Auditorium — Asheville, NC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I Assassin Down the Avenue Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I scored 2 tickets for the Asheville show in Oct., but it wasn't easily accomplished. I noticed the same problems with Ticketmaster that others have described. The OR seats were outrageously priced from the moment I logged on to the site. So, I settled for 2 face-price tickets in the upper level (Section L), which look to at least be closer to the stage than some of the others I saw that were available. I much preferred the Songkick service I utilized to purchase tickets for the Louisville show in June. I got married in Asheville last year and loved my time in the city, so my wife and I are excited to return. A Wilco concert was more than enough incentive to schedule an impromptu visit for the Fall. I haven't been inside the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, so I was curious about others' impressions who have attended performances held inside that venue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We ended up closer to the aisle this time, so I am hoping to see the band a bit better this time. Last time I saw them there I had to stand on my tip toes a lot. Other than that is was a nice place to see a show, a little dated, but the sound was good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
