Okay, I just called the radiostation to see if they had anymore updates about this show and he said that there were going to be some slight changes to the announcement made this morn, and that tomorrow morning a more concrete announcement will be made. Thats 103.1 in Baltimore, Annapolis and DC. Best of luck to everyone trying to get tickets...
Hopefully it will be Merriweather!

1998 Lightning (RFK)
2001 Monsoon (Bull Run)
2003 Traffic (Merriweather)
2008 ??? (???) [all of the above???]

Er, I guess in my plague scenario, the guys will have all bought 2 tickets intending to take their GFs and then when the ladies decide they cannot go, no one turns up going stag.

Is it totally outrageous to think it might be in a stadium (god forbid)? RFK is certainly within public transport...
-
How about Wilmers Park? Lmao

Excellent! Do they still have shows there? I remember that amazing Rollins Band/Helmet/Sausage show that got canceled due to intense rains. Too bad I was stuck there with no way to get in touch with my folks who had driven me. Good times.

I'd take RFK over Nissan any day but it's probably about as likely as Ft. Reno.

I'm pretty sure they stopped having shows at Wilmer's Park years ago. Something about the guy who owned the land wasn't permitted for shows or something.

Radiohead at RFK would be teh allsome.

Yes. Ticketmaster incorporates the $6 parking fee at Nissan.
-
ooh, i noticed this when buying tix for petty. ticket price is lower through live nation; however, they charge MORE in fees. in the end, total cost is about the same ... i think!

Yes. Ticketmaster incorporates the $6 parking fee at Nissan. [/b]
so if i car-pool out to nissan, we pay $24 for a parking spot (4 people in the car X $6 each), whereas anyone driving solo is only paying $6 to take up a spot? thus creating less incentive to car-pool, thus making traffic to nissan worse... ugh. then again, having everyone stop to show a parking pass or pay for parking might be equally delay-causing... might be worthy of study.

If you have a problem with the commute, venue ,Radiohead's environmental policy, their methods of album release, Thom's bowel movements on stage, their sell-out status, politics, etc. Make a stand and boycott them!
All people ever do is bitch about this band. I still find enjoyment in what they do and happy they still tour at all. just my 2 cents.
-
FYI - ticketmaster says the Nissan show will have a pit so at least that's something.
-
It's a Sunday, so just get there early and leave before the encore :)

I'm going to try like hell to get tickets, actually. I haven't seen them. I had tickets for the Bull Run disaster. When they came through last time (was it Merriweather?), it was sold out before I could take a shot at seats. Nissan isn't the best place to see a show, but I'd rather go through traffic and (possibly) have crappy seats than not go at all. What am I supposed to do here - wait until they hit the club circuit?
-
So not worth it to me...I'm passing. I hate Nissan.
-
nissan is a total pain in the ass but at least it is on a sunday so you do have the option of leaving early and tailgating a bit without having to deal with rush hour traffic. getting out is a different story...but leaving any major concert/sporting event is never a speedy process.
-
I say fuck it whatever. It may be a shitty venue but how many more times do you see Radiohead coming through the area in the next few years?
-
Originally posted by bearman:

yep, were they playing pretty much anywhere else in the area other than Nissan (5-night stand at DAR included), i'd be sitting there refreshing furiously at 10am on saturday ... oh well

Originally posted by bearman:

that's kind of how i'm feeling. i think i'm going to wait for the second leg of the tour and see what's going on and travel to it. twelve times i've seen radiohead, and eleven times i've driven at least 300 miles. what's one or two more times?
toronto x3, montreal x3, california, atlanta x2, nyc x2... who cares if they're playing nissan. places like parc jean drapeau are better.

I agree. We decided we're skipping the Nissan show and waiting for the summer leg to be announced... some interesting cities on the list that will make for a nice weekend trip.
-
Originally posted by manimtired:

i think nissan is he worse that i've experienced. getting out of fedex isn't as big a headache, and it holds almost four times as many people. it's just bad design - those little access roads that connect nissan to the outside world are woefully inadequate for that size a venue.

daaaamn, you had to bring up montreal... i love shows in MTL. throw in the local lovelies in their summer finest, and i'm already planning a road trip back home.

Have you ever been to the place in Charlotte they're playing. It's not too terribly far for us on a Friday but I've never been to the venue.
-
can't be any worse than nissan, now can it? i suspect it'll be easier to get tickets for, too.

if the charlotte place used to be named 'blockbuster', then yes, i've been there. generic amphitheater. easier to access than nissan pavillion, though. i'm pretty sure it is the same place. i have my sights set on the gorge. hoping they play there.

nice breeze off the water on a summer evening with the city as a backdrop for the show?
i wouldn't mind going to see radiohead in montreal again, but i don't think it's going to happen this tour.

Bearman is feeling very old...it's one of those moments where I am content with the memory of seeing Radiohead at the Black Cat in 1995 on the Bends tour, when it wasn't even sold out. On a Saturday night. With David Gray opening. Yes, you've all heard that story many times before, but the point of it this time is that this is one of those moments where I've seen a band I really like enough times that I don't feel like it's the end of the world if I miss them this time around. Anyone else have similar experiences with other bands? It really has more to do with logistics, venue, etc. than being "over" the band. It's just the thought of having enjoyed the other experiences so much that I think that there's not much of a way to top them.

The show you saw @ the Black Cat AND the band you saw that night are hardly even comparable to what they are in '08. I caught the OK Computer tour @ a tiny club just before it broke big.
My preference?: I'll take the latest incarnation any day.

I'd agree. But not in a positive way...

It's taking forever to get in - anyone having luck?

I got two GA and two seated. I'm a little shocked I was able to get any since I sat there watching it load forever.

I got three for GA...it took forever, but it finally stopped spitting back my credit card info.

What type of seated tickets did you get? Good ones?

i got three standing/pit.
goddamn the charges bumped those ticket prices up up up.

Picked up four floor tickets!

They don't tell you. From the confirmation email:
"SEAT NUMBERS WILL NOT BE ALLOCATED UNTIL AFTER THE PRE-SALE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WE WILL E-MAIL YOU, WITH YOUR SEAT NUMBERS, AS SOON AS WE CAN."
-
Interesting, I hope you got good ones.
-
Got 4 floor tix!
Looks like the pre-sale is now sold out...
-
I need some reassurance:
The Nissan show didnt specifically say PIT (other locations did).
The General Admission tickets are for the front area correct? NOT LAWN?!?!?
-
im guessing GA would mean lawn
-
I really hope the GA tickets were pit, the price was the same as the reserved price, and the same as ticket masters reserved/pit price. I hope that if they were lawn they would have been cheaper, otherwise WASTE just sold me lawn tickets at a 50% markup!
-
Originally posted by manimtired:

I hope not...
Check the pre-sale mainlist.
2 options for each location:
Reserved, and
General Admission/Pit
Nissan is the only location without the PIT modifier.
Price was still $61.00. The highest cost.
Anybody get confirming info that GA is indeed the PIT?

Agreed. The detail oriented part of me is slightly concerned about the variation in listing - but they gotta be PIT.
-
I actually just managed to get in again, so if people are still looking for tickets...
-
I got 4 for Charlotte! Now all I have to do is get Bristow tickets on Saturday.
-
Yea... I got some reserved seats...but I noticed Dallas it only said GA standing, not pit also. But I'm thinking that GA does mean pit just because its the radiohead website and why would they not want to give the best seats....I'm just happ I got tickets any whoooo.... and are the WASTE seeat tickets generally really good seats anybody know?
-
The waste seats I got a few years back at Merriweather were alright but not "great" (left center ~ 25 rows back).
The best of the best tend to already be in peoples hands, yesterday on Stub Hub there were numerous GREAT tickets for sale for insane amounts.
O well, I just hope "GA, Standing" really means pit at Nissan.
-
One has to assume that "GA" tickets are in the pit since they cost the same as the seated ones. On Ticketmaster the lawn tickets are of the cheaper variety. Still it is strange that they labeled it differently than the other shows.
My waste tickets I got for Philly last time were great - 7th row in the center.
Either way, it beats screwing around with it on Saturday.
-
dang. What time did the WASTE site tix go on sale?
-
i'm 99% sure that the GAs we bought today were pit. would be happy to bet on it (hey, football season is over, gotta find something to take its place :) ) we paid $61 for each ticket, which corresponds exactly to the highest price on TM. they also have cheaper tix at $41 - those have to be lawn. i've never heard of anyone getting bad seats through waste. now accepting all wagers.
i got 4 GAs for nissan right off the bat, then 2 seats for houston. after some refreshing, i got 2 for dallas (i have a ton of friends to visit in TX, what a great excuse to go spend a long weekend there). and after a TON more refreshing, i hooked up another boardie with a single to nissan - at around 9:40. perseverance paid off.
Originally posted by chancegardener:

i got my first order confirmation e-mail at 8:56, so presale probably started 2 or 3 minutes beforehand.
-
Got two reserved tickets for Nissan!
GA Standing absolutely must be pit. There is no way they would charge the same amount as reserved for lawn. Don't worry about it.
-
I got two seats. I got a bit scared by the ambiguous "GA/Standing" and settled for seats.
I may try to get pit tickets on Saturday.

Are waste presale tickets will-call?

you eff'ing nervous nellies: from Official Ticketmaster site. Radiohead tickets Nissan Pavilion Bristow, VA, Directions, seating chart. (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/15004044C969538E)
Additional Information:
Gates will open at 6:00pm. This event has a GENERAL ADMISSION PIT. There will be no seating in the pit area and location is on a first come, first serve basis. For the location of the pit, please use GENERAL ADMISSION PIT seating chart.
Ticket prices include $6 parking fee.
rusty: in the past waste tickets have been will-call. apparently this time most of them will be mailed (although i've also read that waste is reserving the right to make any tickets will-call).
-
The confirmation email says:
"Tickets will be mailed by a secure insured delivery service. Your signature will be required."
That makes me beleive that they are not will call, then again it could just be a form mail and they will turn out to be will call.

Any chance for special, commemorative tickets like the ones from Amnesiac tour?

You do know, just to spite the release of a "Greatest Hits" album, they aren't going to be doing anything approaching a "tune," don't you?
Why don't you just get one of those cheap Casio keyboards, program it go "bleep-bleep-bloop" and mumble in some pissy Oxford accent about how the Earth is doomed and how George Bush is Satan?

You think I (we) didn't check that? :D
That may be what caused my first moment of hesitation. Everything on the TM site sez GA PIT. The presale did not.
Agree with your 99% theory - alas no bet from me.
Things will be made crystal on the reg on-sale however. I shall be converted from an effing nervous nellie...

Is it true that Radiohead is the rich-man's Coldplay?

I'm pretty sure it would have specified "Lawn," if that was the case...

I emailed Waste, GA was the pit.

-
I just got 3 reserved seat tickets, I've had the page up all day and randomly would hit refresh. They said that while they don't plan on putting out additional tickets, if people refund them they will put those back up for sale. Right after I got my 3 (and 3 was the max they'd let me get), it said it was sold out again. So it's worth it to keep trying.

Yeah, the whole Gen Admission = (Pit or Lawn) has me confused/stressed as well.

it's PIT - don't worry. i shouldn't have said anything. just noted the difference & wondered. once the TM sell site goes live tomorrow morn - we'll get the drop down boxes & it'll clearly show that PIT were $61...Lawn $41.
check out the prices already on ebay. lawn going for $199. looks like some re-sellers are buying the listings from yesterday already think they were priced too low: orig price of 2 PIT was ~ $349. Now it's up to $499.
-
Just saw a commercial for this last night. Good thing they're advertising, otherwise it would never sell out :roll:
-
"saw a commercial"? as in on TV? why would anyone bother wasting money on advertising this show?!? it's not as if they need to drum up sales... i'm not confident there will even be lawn tickets left by the time the gates open for this show.
-
I think you may be misled on the popularity of this tour. It will do very well, but I doubt (with the economy) if every show will be an instant sell out. The anticipation of "In Rainbows" isn't the same as the rabid anticipation of "Kid A."
Brian

Yeah, it was either on ESPN or Comedy Central.

To be fair, there wasn't really much time for anticipation to build up for "In Rainbows," since its release was announce just 10 days prior. And yeah, it probably won't be an instant sell out, but they really don't need to waste money on TV ads. But I guess Live Nation has plenty of money to throw around...

Originally posted by Brian Wallace:

if by that you mean "there will still be lawn tickets available on monday", i can't disagree.
but i'm willing to bet that within 40 mins of onsale, all 100 & 200 seats at Nissan are gone as well as the front half of the 300s (that would be rows A-G, see seat map (http://seatingcharts.livenation.com/ballena/nissan_pavilion__bristow_va/)). talking pairs here, not random singles. in my books, that would be darn close to a sell-out. and by sunday 1 pm, no more 300's left. care to wadger a beer on either one of those assertions? (bet offer expires at 9:59 am EST tomorrow :) ) in terms of venue size, nissan is a tad larger than average for this tour as far as i can tell.
-
I'm just hoping that there will be some more GA pit tickets tommorrow
-
My thoughts exactly. :D
Speaking of which, airfares have dipped a bit in the last few days. Virgin Atlantic for $887 is looking pretty good to me right now.

That was insane. We had three people there hitting refresh and we could only get lawn. Oh well, better than nothing.

I helped a freind get 2 for DC (section 304, last row). His first pull was lawn, appears everrything is lawn now.
-
I got 103, does anyone know from experience from sitting towards the side is a bad view? I have high number seats.

Those won't be terrible in the least, but they're not going to be awesome if you're all the way to the side. Better then the back of the 200s or worse.
-
Yeah I figured they may not be the best but it's still in the 1st section (with seats). I may have these for sale if my girlfriend was able to get others.
-
Lawn for me too. Just out of curiosity, did anyone get pitt on today's onsale?
-
Shut out once again. I don't really want lawn. So if anyone has some they don't need...
-
in case anyone considered taking me up on my previously stated bet: you would have owed me a beer.
my first pull was a pair in the 200s, after that it was all 300's or lawn. pairs in the 100's and 200's were gone by 10:05. pairs in the 300's were gone by 10:18. singles in the 300's were gone by 10:22. i had a 4-person chat session going with workmates and friends who were all desparate to get tickets, one dummy kept holding out on placing an order. lawn is all that's left now. in my books, this show was an effective sell-out.

now i'm not even confident that will hold.

Picked up 3 individual tix, via Ticketmaster, and via Live Nation, within 30 minutes. The TM one was Sec 101, Row E, Seat 1 (extreme far right), The first LN one was Sec 103 Row R, and finally at about 10:30, the second LN one came up and it was a PIT. So I am a very happy man. Sorry Mom, going to see Radiohead that day!
-
I was in as soon as they went on sale and tried to get a single pit ticket with no luck.
If anyone has an extra single from the presale, I'd love to take it.
-
That was rough. All I was able to get was a single ticket in Sec. 304, Row G. i think my friends got shut out. If anyone has extras, please let me know.
-
lawn seats too.
but i overslept the sale by two hours.
-
Yes, incredibly rough. Stuck with lawn tickets. Did anyone here luck out with extra pit or first tier seat(s)? I have an extra ticket for Wilco (America's Radiohead!) at 930 club next Wednesday that I will spare in exchange (plus the price difference, or course)
-
i'm surprised to hear about folks that only got lawns and were never offered seats... were you on dial-up? i was pulling 300's for 20 minutes.

don't bother buying a lottery ticket any time soon... you've just tapped out your supply of luck for the next year or so. congrats!

if i remember correctly, high numbers in 103 = far side (as are low numbers in 101). your view of the stage will be good - go here (http://www.livenation.com/venue/getVenue/venueId/793) and click on the Interactive Seating Map (3D) for an approiximation of what you'll be seeing.
and in other news, someone who i bought a ticket for (304 row C) is now being a d*ck and telling me that he now doesn't want it, can't afford it b/c of his upcoming vacation, blah blah. i'll let you know if it becomes available.
-
There are still some single seats in the 300s popping up at 1:30.
-
i just let go two seats in the 202 section, although they were separated. my first pull around 10:05 am was for a pair in 201, and i bought those. but i've been refreshing these two others for a while, i got them around noon. anyway, how horrible is a low number seat in the 201 section? i'm guessing it's all the way right from the above posts.
-
was up at and ready to get my ticket from ticketbastard at 10am. I guess I got too greedy and had two windows open to try and get the best seat. I got section 102 row B and I paused for a second and thought about it. In the other window I wanted to see if I could get a pit. No luck then all of a sudden I was locked out of getting my seat in 102. I was like CRAP!!!!!!! Then for the next 20 mins I tried to get a ticket but the thing kept refreshing forever. Finally ended up geting a seat in 303 5th row. It was a seat right? Little pissed that I lost that 102 but oh well. Then I come and look here and it says that livenation still had seats. DING DING, YAY!!!! I got a 201 row B at 12:50. Now to figure out what to do with other ticket. Maybe just sell it at the show.
-
is this thing completely sold out yet?
Ive tried ticketmaster several times recently, and no tickets have come up
i bought one lawn ticket at nissan this morning , so it doesnt matter for me, but im curioius
side point, but what kind of rumors are floating around about opening bands for this tour? i would KILL for deerhoof to open again. probably wont happen, but still
-
i'm curious to hear from those who "got tickets through livenation" - because when i go to livenation.com and hit "buy tickets" for the show, it takes me to ticketmaster. did LN have it's own ticketing system up earlier today?

i would strongly recommend finding a buyer for your ticket ahead of time. nissan is in outer space - very few drive all the way out there in hopes of snagging a ticket. the chances of you not selling the tickets on site are pretty high, IMO.

looks like it. i'm unable to pull up even a lawn ticket.
wow.
-
And Walalce was dead wrong. Why does this not surprise me?
-
Yeah earlier in the day Livenation had its own selling thing. I guess later on when you clicked on them they connected you to ticketmaster. I guess I lucked out when I looked at 1250. I mean I did get a seat from ticketmaster but just wanted something closer.
-
no problems with tickets for me.
-
If anyone got an extra PIT ticket (I know, fat chance) PLEASE sell it to me. You can name your price. PM please. Will love you forever.
-
is anyone aware of any other shows that completely sold out nissan on the day of onsale? i can't think of any. just curious.
-
It's making me think that RFK wouldn't have been that crazy after all.

Probably Jimmy Buffet or maybe Dave Matthews, but I'm not sure.
-
Dave Matthews for sure.

DMB for sure.
U2 would do it, but they don't usually play Nissan.

RH to play 2 nights of the APW festival:
pitchfork (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/48841-radiohead-to-play-all-points-west-festival---twice) - urb (http://www.urb.com/permalink/2325/Radiohead-to-perform-TWO-nights-at-APW.html)
for those loathing both festivals and nissan pavilion, RH should be playing philly (AKA camden) in august as well.
-
makes me wonder what RH is going to do over two nights. they're playing to the same crowd, so they can't play the same set. they're headlining, so they have 1.5 hours (if not more) to fill.
obviously they'll play most (if not all) of In Rainbows, but it would be cool if they also played an entire album from start to finish. they can choose any one, i'm not picky :)

I was thinking about this earlier. Obviously, I think we're assuming it's going to be two completely different sets since it's the same audience. I was thinking it'd be cool if day one was Pablo Honey-OK Computer, and day two Kid A-In Rainbows all chronologically, but I think alot of people would be pissed with night two.
-
Classic case of a band playing 2 nights in the area anyway...it just so happened that there is a festival in the area...

according to pitchfork, "Looks like those rumors about Radiohead playing the inaugural edition of the All Points West Music & Arts Festival were true, as reported by URB Magazine and subsequently confirmed. (...) Radiohead will headline the first two nights, August 8 and 9."
so stop being a doubting thomas and join us in the what-will-they-play game :p
julian, i'd be hunky-dory with your proposed setlist. no complaints whatsoever.

Yeah, folks like ourselves would love something like that, but there's still a contingency out there that'd hate a Kid A to current show. Not sure if they'd be at APW, but whatever...
-
They will play an almost entirely the same setlist with 3-5 song variation, like they did in 2006.

I'm not actually a fan of the playing an entire album in a live setting idea. I think a live show is special because it's different from the albums--if I wanted to hear all of Kid A, I'd just put on Kid A. I think the power of a great live show comes from the unexpected setlists, reimagined compositions, and general audacity that an album doesn't really produce.
As for those who think Radiohead will play essentially the same set two nights in a row--I believe you're dead wrong. This isn't the same as merely playing two nights in the same city--as is being noted in nearly every article about APW, this is the first time one band has played two nights of a major American rock festival. Radiohead knows that everyone will be watching and expecting them to do something spectacular. I think they will respond and play two wildly different shows.
