June 17th Chicago roll call

e_wind · Apr 29, 2011, 03:01 PM

I emailed them earlier this week asking what seats I won, and I received byte tickets before I got the email back. The guy I emaile is on vacation and hes supposed to contact me Monday. I'll let you all know.

Tater - my last name is windmill and everyone at work calls me windy, you're the first to ever call me that outside work ha

We really can't wait for both Louisville and Chicago!! Our first shows too (as well as ROO). Would love to meet up with as many other fans as possible. The idea of making a contribution to Mercy House sounds great!!! Put us down please. See you all soon!

I have two very good tickets for Chicago if anyone is interested. Dead center row R on floor (orchestra).
Shoot me a pm if interested. Wife said I couldn't go. Damn Friday night wedding >:(

ONLY 30 days???? In all the craziness I'd lost track of all the dates! Louisville in two weeks and then Bonaroo. Wow..... I'm kinda old now. I'd better pace myself.

I would suggest the South Loop Travelodge or the Congress Hotel. Both are pretty reasonable. Also, there's a hostel on Congress, even closer to the venue if you want super cheap.

glad that question was asked and aswered. I usually stay at the Best Western near the venue when I got to chicago but its a little pricey that time of the year

I am in the same boat- thanks for asking! Although I arrive at 3 pm and leave at 6:30 am the next morning so (seriously) wondering if I need a hotel room!

shit, if you have nothing to do the next day you could just hangout at the airport with some tylenol PM and get a little sleep.

Anyone figure out a pre show gathering spot?

Kasey's Tavern located on Dearborn and Wells in Printers Row is a mere couple blocks away from Auditorium Theater and a fine establishment. 'Oldest' Tavern with a liquor license in the city, a very cool and friendly neighborhood bar. Also Hackney's Burgers right down the street.

Hey Chicago fans,

The June 16th Milwaukee show is ridiculously undersold! There are still pit tix available and a ton of primo seating. I can't figure out why Milwaukee is not buying, but I thought I'd tempt a few Chicago fans into coming up.

Great.... All I needed was one excuse to do the Milwaukee show and now I have it. I can't let those lonely tickets just sit on the shelf like that. :'( ::) ::) ::) (Great... Show number 6. I'm gonna be in the doghouse and the dog's gonna be in my bed. ::) ::)

thanks katydidnt!!!

Pretty sad that MMJ isn't sold out in Milwaukee. The Riverside is a great venue run by amazing people. Trust me. Cheap parking, reasonably priced hotels, excellent food nearby, and good people. I'll be in the pit with ALady and Ms.Yvon. Come join us.

Oh, and btw, cheap beer too. I don't drink, but most people rave about the $3 Tall Boys, $6 jumbo Sierra Nevadas, and other local brews.

I got an email today from artistarena that they are not mailing any tickets in the first 18 rows ( that were purchased in the pre-sale ), they are changing them to will call only.

below is the email.

Dear My Morning Jacket fan,

Due to circumstances beyond our control, tickets in the first 18 rows of the June 17th My Morning Jacket show at the Auditorium Theatre have been switched to Will Call pick up and WILL NOT be mailed to you. Please arrive a little early to the show and bring your confirmation email and ID to pick your tickets up.

We apologize for this inconvenience; please direct any questions to our office.
