Thanks for the schedule, CC.  I got tickets for Saturday only.  Me, Mrs. Yac, and her brother.  Matt's wheelchair-bound, due to spina bifida, but only my wife will be allowed with him during the show in the HC area, so perhaps I'll try for the rail.

I do believe this constitutes a ROLL CALL!!!

Ugh.  Vs. Beirut?   >:(

I may have to skip this one.

I must say I'm kinda bummed that MMJ is going head to head with Eminem - I really wanted to see him.  Looks like that ain't gonna happen! 

[brainwave]

anyone wanna help organize a glowstick war?

;D

Welcome aboard!

[brainwave]

so your in?  8)

[johnnYYac]

Please leave the glowsticks at home.  Save 'em for Halloween; they're great for the kids.  I don't need to be distracted by people who have the will to throw shit instead of being enthralled by the music at hand.  Sorry, just my opinion.  Happy to rock the rail with you but at least keep the fucking things off the stage (and outta the boys' faces).

couldn't agree more, this ain't a techno show.... glowsticks are for the people that yell "PLAY IM AMAZED"

Anyone have an extra Saturday pass? Can't believe Lolla sold-out so early this year! Craziness....  :-\

So there are NO single day passes for sale at the gate ?

I just answered my own question. Damnit I wanted to go to this.  I have always been able to get single day tickets at the gate.  I aint paying $ 178 on stub hub.

I kind of feel the same way when people bring in digital cameras and film the whole show or even multiple songs. It's ok if it's one guy but a if it's a whole section it takes away from the moment.

It might be my biggest concert pet peeve behind drunk women (which I don't see much of at MMJ shows anyway).

Unfortunately no, the 3 day passes sold-out about 2 weeks ago, and then very much to my surprise each individual day passes were sold-out real quick after that.  First time ever since the move to Chicago that the whole damn weekend sold-out, and first time since Radiohead ? (maybe GaGa did last year too) a couple years back that even one day sold-out.  I was actually kinda surprised since I didn't think the line-up was "all that great" this year, but I'm thinking the anniversary has a lot to do with this as well? I'll listen from Lake Shore Drive if I have to.

Roll Call!

You wouldn't think it sold out looking at this roll call.  :(

[ALady]

They will probably release a few extras at the box office day of - or you could always head down to the park and see if anyone is trying to unload a ticket.  For something this huge (they are at 90k capacity each day this year) there will always be an extra ticket.

Good luck and hope to see you there!
