lucky i got em...
still tons of ween tickets though.
-
Got 'em.
Now keep your finger poised over the EXECUTE button for when the 6/10/04 show is announced...
-
it was a scary seven minutes till i got through -- this is going to be quite the show.
-
they need to add a second date. it sold out in under 2 minutes.
-
You're telling me. Do you think we'll get hit with a 25 minute version of LMLYP?

that would rule!!

wouldn't count on a 2nd show. Unless they do a late show. The club is booked for the next night (Ween).
-
Bede, are you going to go? I just got my Live DVD in the mail on Tuesday, and it definitely got me ready for this show. It's been way too long since they've been around.

They should tell Ween to take a hike or play opening band to the Jeff Tweedy Experience. Two nights of Wilco would be sweet.
-
nkotbe...
got the ween dvd the other day as well... I was at those shows in chicago, unbelievable!! I can't wait for these two nights, two of my favorite bands two nights in a row!!
there won't be another wilco date added, possibly in the fall, but not now.
-
Taylor's got a point. I mean, Ween are known for 3 hour plus live shows, and have 8 full lengths to pull songs from, in addition to the countless unreleased tracks and b-sides they regularly play, and have a guitarist and drummer that could smoke anyone Jeff Tweedy has ever played with. They definitely should open for Wilco.

yes... that's quite laughable taylor.
-
Yeah, it's a lot better than I imagined, and man, the recording sounds amazing. Hell, most of the songs sound better than the studio versions, in my opinion. I can't remember the last time they played this way, although I think it was just under a year before Quebec came out, in Towson.

Sadly. . . . I think my girlfriend would agree with you guys. Get a couple late-night beers in her, and out comes the Ween CD (the one with the girl wearing the championship belt on the cover?). It's not bad, I'm just relatively under-exposed to them and not a super fan. I WILL say that it's usually a good sign with then Ween CD comes out, for whatever that's worth.
-
This is my last post for a bit, I promise...
Anyway, in the liner notes to the first live Ween album, it mentions that one of the songs was recorded during a 4 date tour with Uncle Tupelo, and that when Ween were leaving the last date, they heard a radio interview with UT where they basically accused Ween of being racists and being nightmares to tour with.

Hmmm. . . probably that testy Jay Farrarr.
-
if you guys come up with an extra im going to be running tape at the show (wilco allows taping) i will get you a copy of the show plus cost of ticket, plus if it takes some extra to grease the wheels i can do that too.
my fav band and i got shut out.
-
hahah... jay farrar can suck it...
they're not racists, just crazy fucks.
i've lived in DC for two yeras and i don't think ween has been anywhere near in that time...
can't wait!
-
ween and wilco:
both start with "w"
both like drugs
both piss off farrar
match made in heaven

hhahahah...

signs point to yes.
i've been lax in my purchase of all things ween recently, i'm hoping to make up for it in the near future in preparation for this show. i just might have to get the stuff from my friend via ipod.
-
Would you believe there are already jerks on eBay selling thier 9:30 Club tickets for Wilco at more than $100 a pair? That's pretty shitty if you ask me. I'm all for capitalism and all, but come on guys. . .
-
supply and demand baby, supply and demand
-
Nah, it stinks. There are people who obviously really wanted tickets who did not get them, and there are people who obviously bought tickets just to turn them around and make a quick buck.
I feel even more fortunate to have gotten mine this morning.
-
and whats wrong with that? its a free country and if they want to go that badly they'll pony up the $$ on ebay or craigslist
should people take an online test before being allowed to buy tickets to see how much of a wilco fan they are?

I just think if you don't want to go, you shouldn't buy tickets.
It's that simple.
Why rip off real fans more than they're already getting ripped off?
Makes sense to me.

Why do you feel you're already getting ripped off?
-
I tried at 10:04 and got shut out. That's insane.
-
its not that simple
who says they didn't want to go - maybe they wanted to go but changed their mind when they realized they could get alot of money for them
as for ripping people off, no-ones 'making' them buy the tickets above face value, if they value the transcendental experience of a live Wilco concert enough to pay an exorbitant price, by all means let them do so
makes sense to me

After handling charges, etc. . . .
Granted, I'm not paying a Rolling Stones-like price, thank goodness. But purchasing concert tickets has never really been fan-friendly.

True, but considering what a tough ticket this is, a few extra bucks for 5 minutes of pointing and clicking is money well-spent, IMHO. I'd almost argue that buying tickets is generally easier and more convenient than ever.
-
I plan on selling my extra pair at face value, plus the service fees that I paid for all four. That's ethical, aint it?
My wife says I should sell them for as much as I can get for them.
-
hell yeah, it's much easier. remember the days of hitting redial when the phone was your only option. or lining up at ticketmaster just to get a wristband so you could come back the next day, stand in line, and then get a ticket?
fuck that, online ticketing is the best!
and certain venues policies of buying tickets in person at the venue for a $1 or $2 fee is fabulous.

That's crazy, generally and for this show specifically. Wilco is obviously wildly popular, and the tickets were only $25. The price of taking a date to the moves and SHARING a popcorn. Or you could see half a play at Arena Stage or Shakespeare Theater. WAY fair to me, as nearly every show at 9:30 is...

think: what would ggw do?
wilco for $25 is a good deal, wouldn't bitch about the price. how many $25 shows sell out in like 5 minutes
-
and so it begins, there are already 11 people looking for tickets on craig list.
maybe i should bought my max. allotment and used that money to buy an ipod? or would karma have bitten me in my arse?
-
Originally posted by god's shoeshine:

Excellent question!!
As a rule of thumb, if I have friends that want the tickets, I wouldn't ask for more than cost. If not, then I don't think there is anything unethical about selling them to a stranger for the current market price.
And I think online ticketing is infinitely more fair then the old system. The old way, the guy running the ticketmaster machine was probably getting something under the table from a broker to keep the best seats aside. Also, many of the people in line were probably working as a line-sitter for a broker. Not to mention the hours of time you had to invest in trying to get tickets for a popular show. I'll gladly pay a $5 premium to sit at the comfort of my desk and hit the refresh button a few times.

Having recently become a homeowner, and trying to furnish it will old hand me down one bedroom apartment furniture, I'm thinking we need the money of the market value more than any of our friends need to see Wilco for a third or fourth time.
Besides, if you're really a fan and you really want to see them, just drive to Pittsburgh and see them for free.
-
ah well. i tried. should you change your mind, let me know. :)

Bands should track down these a-holes and revoke tickets. I'm sure Wilco loves the fact that your ripping of their fans.

I'll bet they really don't care. The money that a scalper is making pales in comparison the what the band is making itself.

I think they should just make bands come here and play every night until they no longer sell out. That way everyone who wants to see them has a chance and we can all be one big happy family.

This board will never be one big happy family.

Though it can be awfully family-like -- dysfunction, squabbles, misunderstandings, whining, eccentric characters and all... :D

What pisses me off about online ticketing is that 9:30 usually sells tix on thursday mornings. The reason I couldn't score Velvet Revolver tix is because I was stuck at school. Checked tix during 3rd period then checked again during 6th and they were all gone. :mad:

You probably shouldn't be out at a smoky niteclub on a school night anyway.

If you can go out then there's no reason we he/she can't go out. It's America, they can do what they want.

Actually, thinking about it...I think my Shins comments were directed toward people who would buy tickets for two nights, thus costing others a chance to see the show.
In this case, I bought two extra tickets, with every intention of passing them along to someone else. I decided to take a risk on passing them along at $5 each or $50 each, I'd let the market decide.
We did have an extra ticket that we sold at cost (taking a loss on the service fee) to the Old 97's. We ended up having to base our plans around meeting some guy at Starbucks in Adams-Morgan, and the guy ended up being a half hour late, leaving us to sit in Starbucks twiddling our thumbs (the five dollar lattes would have eaten the $15 sale price right up). And the guy turned out to only know one Old 97's album. Perhaps if we had jacked up the price a bit, we would have found a buyer who was a real fan.

It's America. Parents need to lay down a curfew that prevents their kid from being out too late on a school night.
But of course, in pansy liberal America, it's the children that now have all the rights, and parents are afraid to lay down the law anymore.

i was actually referring to the comment about how your friends don't need to see wilco again, not buying the extra tickets, you are denying your friends a chance to see Wilco again, I don't really care, I just found it inconsistent
and for the record, I personally don't like the idea of selling tickets for a profit, have never done it, but that is just my opinion, other people can do what they want, but I do hate people buying tickets for shows they have no interest in just to make a quick buck, here is looking at you jakez3ebfan, it is a real shame he could not get wilco tickets
-
For the record, I can only think of a couple of people that we hang out with in DC who are Wilco fans, and neither have indicated any desire to go, and neither made any effort to get tickets for themselves, or ask me to try to get tickets for them. If they had, well of course the tickets I bought would go to them at face value. And in all honesty, I really didn't know that Wilco tickets would be such a hot commodity.
If you bought a cd at CD Game Exchange for a buck, and you thought you could sell it for $20, would you not sell it for $20?
-
Sacktastic will very likely sell the tickets at only a high enough price to recoup the cost of his own free...no biggie...he's not likely to gouge or exploit...it's just not his way.

Since when do only "real fans" deserve to go to a show? He was willing to pay, you were willing to sell. Maybe he'll be a HUGE fan after seeing them play live. Maybe he won't, shouldn't make a damn bit of difference.
Now the being late part, that's BAD. I can't stand that; folks who are habitually late are completely oblivious that it is YOUR time they're wasting.
-

maybe, but I never go in to cd game exchange looking for cds that I might be able to sell for more, usually i am looking for another cd that I can listen to once and stick on my shelf for 5 years until I sell it back to cd exchange for a dollar
-
I would have rather sold my ticket to a longtime fan of the band than someone who had recently seen Rhett Miller's pretty face on MTV2. The bottom line was I got the price I was asking for. But given the choice between selling at the same price to a diehard fan and someone with only a passing interest, I'd always choose the former.

Me too.
As much as I go on about making small change from reselling cd's, my true purpose is to look for cool new music. Basically, if a cd is only a buck, it gives me a chance to try it out and see if I like it, whereas I would have to be pretty darm sure i wanted it to buy it at $15. Cases in point: I would have never bought Grant Lee Phillips or the Libertines for $15, but I took a chance at $1, and reaped the rewards of good music.

Funnily enough, I've thought this theory as well.

I sold him one too. I don't agree with the being late part, but the guy was from outta town and probably got lost (as he did night of show when I sold him my ticket for his friend). I have no idea how many albums he owns, but he told me he has been to many of their shows. I can't control the type of fan I sell to, it really doesn't matter, I'm not inventorizing their cd collection and asking for their fan club card. However, it can be a bummer if that person sucks your time, or gas money, or is unappreciative. I can become judgey then, and if they are going to the club/show to only be a part of the "scene".

in defense of the lateness of the dork who bought the Old 97s ticket...he WAS from out of town and not familiar with the area, which could have contributed to his lateness...and he was very apologetic and grateful for the ticket
his snow white Reeboks were indefensible, however
-
To his credit, the guy was appreciative.

That's why I try to sell tix via this board. I figure the ticket seeker must be pretty eager and a fan of either the band or live music...either way, shows a healthy level of interest and desire.

Wilco is playing Lollapalooza in Detroit, Toronto, and Cleveland.

so what was the scene like outside the box office?

Does anyone *go* to a box office??
Scene outside my box office: my cube, decorated in images from Bicycling Magazine and odd collected art from old Art-O-Matic shows. Occassionally someone with coffee mug in hand approach the area.

Both Sugartastic and I are referring to a guy who bought our ticket via this board.
I don't think going to a venues website necessarily indicates a big music fan...

Hey lok at that: Four sets of two tickets for the D.C. Wilco show on sale at eBay going for more than $100, with some asshole demanding $199 for his pair.
You're right, that guy should be commended and patted on the back for a job well done.
-
I think they'd probably make more if they waited until closer to the show.

Ya think? A lot of people panic as soon as a show sells out. This might actually be the best time to sell.

Darkness tickets were going on eBay for ~$175/pair right after the sellout and fell to ~$100/pair right before the show.
Death Cab ticket prices also fell as the date got closer.

Well the tickets haven't come in the mail yet. I'm not going to sell something I don't tangibly yey have.

I agree. Some sign onto a website for a chance to get a ticket to the one or two shows they will go to all year. Example being JT...

wow, who knew that many people really liked those guys, haha, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but doesn't seem like everytime they put out a new album that it's supposed to the best thing since the White Album and it just never lives up to the hype!!! haha

Love that poster. Alas, I only get posters for bands I love... ;)
PS, they should a cicada or two flying about the monument...in the foreground so you can see that they're cicadas.

Will there be an opening act and who will it be?
We made a guy very happy the other day by selling our two extra tickets to him. I didn't get to meet him, but if you're reading this, thanks and hope you have a great time.

If you read the comments, the designer (Heads of State) says Wilco commissioned it. It will be an edition of 1000.
I agree that there is a dearth of good gig posters for DC shows.

Maybe I just have a short attention span, but is there a place on this site to order posters? Scanning through I've seen several that would make good gifts for friends, but I can't find any info about buying them...

The gigposters site just displays them. If you see one you like, you have to go to the designer's site to purchase. That site can be found by clicking on the little house icon on the left side of the page on which the poster is displayed.
Not every poster is for sale, but many of them are.

Thanks...
