kidsmoke Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Have a blast, everyone who can go! I was at the Auditorium Theatre for the last 2 dates of the original YHF tour. How has it been 20 years? I wish I could afford to travel for these! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I am shocked at how easy it was to get tickets to the NY shows. Last time I got Wilco tix through TM, the tickets disappeared from the seating chart before I could even put them in my cart. Even 45-60 minutes after on-sale, plenty of seats, and some good seats, were still available. Perhaps not everybody is ready yet for big indoor shows. Maybe 4 shows was too much for NY. Perhaps the one-day-prior announcement wasn't enough time for out-of-towners to make travel plans (didn't tours used to be announced a week or more before ticket sales??). Anyhow, I aimed for two shows, and ended up getting tix for a third, just because. April-May is going to be a busy month of shows for me, most every band I like is going on the road at once.

Or perhaps, the ticket prices were too high. They were for me. I had a ticket in my cart, and ultimately decided I wasn’t willing to pay that much, so I released it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yaz Rock Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yes, they are a significant leap up in price. At least for the good seats. Upper levels was 60-something dollars which came out to 82 with fees. I justified it by the fact it the venue is the Palace Theater and I love those old ornate venues, and I've never been to the Palace. And that they are special YHF shows. I did balk at seeing Jeff solo in Brooklyn this past summer because of those prices. Similarly at least one other big name artist I follow raised their prices considerably since the last time around. This seems to be the new normal, unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 After getting shut-out during the pre-sale, I scored two in the nosebleed section for the Saturday show in Chicago. Not a big fan of the Auditorium Theater, but I'm still looking forward to seeing Wilco. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kernel Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 This is my first time posting and I hope I'm not doing it incorrectly! I'm looking for 2 tickets for Chicago Saturday night if anyone has any to sell! Please let me know :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heart full of holes Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Two shows have been added: April 20 in NYC and April 24 in Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are shows I’d be willing to pay that price for a balcony seat. For a combination of reasons, this wasn’t one of them. I am not generally a fan of shows that focus on one album, or play an album its entirety, so that was part of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to advise you to post this request in our Tickets sub-forum, called "How to Fight Loneliness", but I checked and saw that you found that & posted there too. Good luck! I know there are some extra tickets floating around out there, so I hope someone can help you out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Might have to do this (Chicago, Auditorium). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattO79 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Good seats just opened up again for the Chicago shows. I'll now be trying to unload my upper balcony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tperone Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hi all, I have a single ticket to the April 17 show, but unable to attend. Is there anyone out there with a single ticket to any of the other NY shows willing to swap? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knight Rider Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I have 2 extras to the Chicago show on 4/23 (my wife bought tickets to the Goodman for the same night)... Let me know if you're interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalafej Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Any word on what's on the new 7inch? I assume the alt take of ITMWLY that is in the Foxtrot X Wilco popup promo picture, but what's on the flippity flop? edit: Wilco posted a pic on instagram. Alt take of War on War.

bcdoc Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 How cool would it be if they bring back the Willy Wonka Intro music for these shows… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bull Moose Records had a listing for about a month for a 7 inch vinyl release with the correct tracks, but had a street date of April 1st. I special ordered it from them and it’s in limbo. I didn’t get any firm details (alt takes) on it, until that IG post today. There’s a decent chance it gets released to record stores after the shows. There’s an even better chance that this listing was a fluke. We’ll find out… https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35387272/wilco-war-on-war-im-the-man-who-loves-you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That limited view only listed Jack White, Bob Weir, Jimmy Buffet and David Gilmour. Weird! Of course, when I actually clicked on the email there it was in big letters. I kinda figured that Nugs had to film at least one of these shows. Excited to see what they have in store. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Just a heads up: anyone out there seeing the discounted subscriber’s price only on the Nugs site and not on the app? I’m definitely logged in on the app because I’m playing one of their shows. I tried clicking the price on the app and it still showed the $24.99 price. It looks like it was going to do the purchase via iTunes. I feel like this was an issue back when the drive in shows were done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Heads up to the tapers that frequent here and might attend a YHF show: a potential taper with recording gear over in the FB group was told that “audio taping privileges have been rescinded” for this special run of shows. Good news is that it sounds like something might get released. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goalinlifewastobeanecho Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Besides the 7" and the nightly poster, how's the merch looking for these shows? Definitely going to be heading to the Foxtrot pop up to snag some goodies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
