Interesting, didn't even have a wait. I passed up the PIT tix for seats so I can sit down during a 15 minute Spiders. :-*
-
spiders - not my favorite
-
RC GG. Eh. Took them anyway. Might've been able to do better tomorrow, but didn't want to chance it.
-
GA PIT Tickets still available.
-
best i pulled was right-center row Y, and center GG. imma gonna hold out for tomorrow.
-
I forgot all about this. Figures.
Right-Center row Y is pretty good.

yeah, i tried getting better, didn't, and was about to pull the trigger on the R:C/Y's when the system dropped all 4 of my tickets, instead of just the undesired pair. i couldn't get the R:C/Y's back after that. normally i'd be pissed, but i'm pretty zen and hoping that it all works out tomorrow.
-
RC ROW G - Holler.......first row reserved........
-
If we go, I'll just get last minute lawn tickets. The lawn is easier for a four year old to fall asleep on than a seat. She ought to be able to fall asleep during a Nick Lowe set, for sure.

good plan - lawns will likely be going for below face on CL in the days leading up to the show.

Most definitely...However, seeing Wilco in the middle of the lawn, something's kind of missing. IMO.

Is being on the front of the lawn ok at Merriweather? How does it compare to being on the front of the lawn at Wolftrap? We got there early and got front and center on the lawn for Wilco (and others) at Wolftrap and it was fine.

Personal opinion, but I think the lawn at MPP is one of the worst lawns EVER!!!
I haven't been to a show on the lawn there since the 90's other than for FreeFest last year, but muffled sound, packed to the gills, pretty disconnected from the show, etc.

I much prefer the lawn at WT to MPP as it's so much mellower. No one ever stands through the main act at WT. But I saw the M3 Metal Fest from the lawn at MPP this year and thought the sound was fine and the crowd was pretty laid back.

I got GA floor after about a 5-minute wait in the waiting room shortly after 10:00 this morning. As least, I think it's GA floor and not GA lawn. It just says "Presale GA". That's GA floor, right? Please say yes.
-
It's GA..... parking lot ;D
-
i guess your mileage may vary on lawn at mpp
-
Try logging on......
-
shemp rules.
seat selection, unfortunately, doesn't. but the heads-up was much, much appreciated! knowing what was on offer during the wilco presale = i could concentrate on freefest ;D
-
I'm not hard pressed to be within arm's length so I bounced around the pavillion and settled for Left Center row CC.
Not the greatest but hardly worth complaining about. Best of all it's all done. Can't wait.
-
Will probably be sad when folks buy tix10 rows in front of me tomorrow.
-
there's not selling center pavillion today?
-
I pulled center pavillion while bouncing around. Row MM, methinks.
-
best i got was Center GG, close to the right aisle... aka right behind the soundboard. i didn't want to be stuck behind a bank of lights and computer screens.
i completely agree that wilco isn't a band you need to be in their face for. and for every person who gets better tickets than you tomorrow, there will be 200 who had to settle for lawn 'cause they couldn't get anything in the pavilion. you did good.
-
Yup. Agreed on all points.
I did once buy tix in the row behind the board. When I arrived there was equipment in my seats. They send me up 10-15 rows. So ya never know.

I can't believe no one's mentioned this yet, not that I've seen anyway, but while the email said that today's pre-sale was to start at 10 (along with a concurrent WRNR pre-sale) it actually started at 9am (again, along with the WRNR sale)..... I went and checked the ticketfly page last night, and it said there that it would run from 9am-10pm..... figured that HAD to be wrong since every piece of info I'd gotten on it said it'd start at 10, but sure enough, it was live at 9 this morning..... I had some trouble thanks to my crappy computer, so I got started a couple minutes late, but I managed to get a single in row U and then a pair in row P, all center section..... I'll be working saturday, not near a computer and thus no chance for me to do the regular onsale, so I'm pretty happy with what I managed to get today.....

well, it was sorta subtle, but that's what shemp meant when he posted "try logging on" at 9:30 this morning.

ah.... I've been registered here for a long time, but am not a regular poster/reader of the forums (as evidenced by my low post count), so I missed that, but even logging on at 9:30 would've put you a 1/2 hour behind the start of the presale..... looking at my email inbox, I bought my single ticket at 9:04 and the pair at 9:06.... it just worked out well for me that, as I said, I like to check things out well ahead of time, and happened to notice the different time posted on Ticketfly.... so whatever happened and for what reason, I don't know..... it worked out well for me, a fact for which I and my friends are grateful because we're totally looking forward to this double bill..... but I am surprised that I haven't seen any complaints about the early start time of the presale, I can't be the only one who didn't see the warning from Shemp, and I doubt that everyone noticed the early start time posted on ticketfly.....
-
I think that's a first - complaining about an early start for a presale.
-
I missed it as well. Went to go check out the site and get things ready and before I knew it I'd bought my pair.
I figured I'd kinda blown it but everything worked out.

I knew someone would misconstrue what I was saying.... I wasn't complaining.... I said it worked out great for me, I was ready for the early start.... I was just surprised that one of the people who got a late start because they were told (via the 930 club email blast) that it started at 10 didn't complain about it here, that's all I was saying..... and I don't think they'd be wrong to be a little annoyed, Lord knows I've seen a lot of complaining here over the years about far less......
-
Late to the party here, but feeling pretty good about the center section row L seats I got through the wilco presale on Wed. I've always had good luck with their presales.
