I will be at Emo's may try to make the San Marcos show but not sure how easy it will to be to get in. Plus that is ACL Fest week and I am basically seeing shows every night that week already.

Same here. Gonna be a busy week for sure.

Yes I think I remember Tracy being a Michigan fan during some of the NCAA Hoops threads but I could be wrong. We went to Ann Arbor for the game and had an awesome time. People there were incredibly welcoming. Ponies hung in there for a while too! Go Blue.

Ticketmaster's response, a joke. I'm with you Mr. White use any means possible to avoid both Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

Very cool.  I thought this was going to be a full JJ solo band tour based on an earlier interview.  Hopefully that happens eventually.

I have a feeling Yac will road trip within his state. 

is Indianola near ya JY?

Indianola is about 2 hours away. Unfortunately, we're moving around that time (within Iowa City) and my mom is coming from NH to help out, so I won't be making this one. Don't think I didn't think about it...

I think small independent ticket sales companies should try to grow and get their name out there a little better (as long as they don't try to be like Ticketmaster or Live Nation).

I've purchased plenty of tickets to shows around where I live from the following sales organizations:

Ticketfly

Eventbrite
https://www.eventbrite.com/l/sell-tickets/?ref=sem0brd0msn0usa0ppca0brand&kw=eventbrite%20tickets%20br&cr=12752523231&mkwid=&pcrid=12752523231&pkw=eventbrite%20tickets&pmt=e&msclkid=b678ae92582613012323f531bba9a416&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing_US_Search_Core_Brand_Alpha_AllDevice_English&utm_term=eventbrite%20tickets&utm_content=eventbrite%20tickets

Brown Paper Tickets

… and even one specifically for Louisville called Louisville Tickets.

… or just sell tickets directly from the individual venue sites or from the bands/acts.

I think I remember Pearl Jam trying some sort of Ticketmaster boycott in the past.  If they couldn't get it done, not sure what it will take.

If other bands stepped up and helped Pearl Jam, then it's possible things could have improved.  Some bands (I think R.E.M. and Neil Young) vocally supported PJ but didn't boycott or do anything drastic.

PJ's boycott led to them playing far less shows and plenty of difficulties with their '95 tour.

What PJ's actions did was really lead to the way tickets are currently priced with different line items so that people can see all the various fees added to the cost of the actual ticket.
