Merriweather Post August 12th - Roll Call

[Ruckus]

Well that sold out in one second.  No way I could have gotten more than a package anyways. ;D

I hope some of you guys got 'em.  I tried to buy 6 packages and it denied me so then there were only two left which I put in my box then deleted because I needed more and wasn't going to leave friends in the lot.

I guess they are letting in like 20 people plus local VIPs/giveaways or something?

I purchased two and I was lightening fast...man that was kinda stressful

good job on getting two. I had two in my cart but nothing went through.

[JaneCool]

Well that was disappointing.  :(

[tdb810]

baaaaaa frustrating!!!!! i keep trying to refresh!

[bluesky]

i tried 5 minutes after...hard to do from work...totally missed out  :'(

[headhunter]

Must have sold out in 10 seconds.

Guess they weren't lying when they said "very limited!"  Oh well, guess that means more time in the parking lot...

I say good for them. A lot of people rely on MMJ (and other artists) for their employment, so I'm a fan of bands making money any reasonable way they can now.

Just by chance I left my cc number with my mother and th roll call link to see if she could pick up the txts this am and she got em. I am currently in the air so I hope thats true and need to go check my account. Holy s*it. Will report back. Sucks it went so fast. :-\

[bigwag]

Really... Why dissapoint a hundred people to please one.  Why open this up if access is that limited.  I'm hoping for a mistake email, try again tomorrow.

[kydiddle]

Haven't received a confirmation email, only a short message from the moms with a confirmation number. Maybe she screwed up entirely and bought me Justin Beiner txts instead. I wonder how people did for the other sale? jesus now I feel bad. I never luck out with shit like this.

I totally agree - they deserve to make money in any "reasonable" way (I like that word there) and absolutely should. I guess I was just more surprised to see them doing so on Gilt - a website known for trendy fashion and designer (albeit discounted) merchandise.

I mean, they were charging roll callers $25 a pop - which when added to the ticket price exceeds the amount offered by Gilt. So they would have made more money and made the day's of more of their most loyal fans had they reserved more tickets for the roll call presale (unless I'm overlooking something).

No, I thought the same thing right away.

Don't feel bad - this is awesome for you! 

[Jeff Murray]

I tried at work to snag a pair... unfortunately I hesitated one second too long.  While it's nice to see the band do something even more exclusive for their fanclub, just wish there were more allocated to the club members and less to outside sources.

Congrats to those who didn't hesitate!  I hope it makes the live experience that much better for all of you.

I'm new to this board, but great to see so many of you coming to the show! MPP is a great venue and I can't wait to see them there.

I screwed up and missed out on getting pit tickets, though, so if anyone happens to have any extras I would be very appreciative. There's no way I'm seeing this show from anywhere else in there!

[Im The Dude]

I really wish they added more for the pre sale. I know they are trying to make people happy by adding more for sale but why make it WITH a ticket? Wouldn't Roll Call know a ton of people are already going and have bought tickets?

I can't believe they sold out in less than 10 seconds. I think everyone in the roll call for this show should be able to get a pass for the soundcheck party. 30-40 people would be a killer party at this venue.

You know I'm with ya on that one!  Let's see if we can work some magick here!   :P
