Wow... Wilco just sold out in about 15 minutes...

[taylorjohnmark]

Hmmm. . . probably that testy Jay Farrarr.

[jpschust]

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.

[Yada]

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!

[godsshoeshine]

ween and wilco:
 both start with "w"
 both like drugs
 both piss off farrar
 
 match made in heaven

[Yada]

  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.
 

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. . .

[brennser]

supply and demand baby, supply and demand

[taylorjohnmark]

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.

[brennser]

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?

[alex]

I tried at 10:04 and got shut out.  That's insane.

[brennser]

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.
