anybody know what the fees/shipping is on Roll Call tix?

I'd like to support the club but it's pretty easy to just drive over to Suite 100 (box office).

There looks to be a two seat limit for the balcony, I don't think I have ever seen that before. I guess they are expecting a crowd.

I just spent 84$ on two GA tix...

Anyone know if a debit card will work instead of a credit card?

bigkidfallsdown.com · May 31, 2011, 01:26 PM

About 5 bucks per ticket for the fee - all roll call tix are will call

I got two balcony seats then tried again to get a different location and it, the computer, acted like all two seats side by side were taken.

I'm in row C and I was refreshing the page waiting for the tix to go on sale.

Yeah that happened to me, and there are four of us traveling so we went GA. So it says you must be 21 to be on the balcony, does that mean that if I'm on the floor I can't drink?! The reason I'm going to this show out of my way is because its my 21st B-Day...

There is an under 21 section. Part of the under 21 section include the pit. If you want to go down there with cocktail, order a water with your drink and pour the drink into the water cup.

It's not really an issue if use a lil discretion.

If your debit is a Visa check card

Visa or Mastercard

It was fucking wonky - I've been pounding on my table.

There aren't two tickets together in the balcony anymore.

I guess that was the reason for the limit. I was worried after Milwaukee that the demand might not be there.....looks like that's not an issue.

i got center balcony seats so thats going to make the 4hr trek to louisville a lil better.

e wind - "So it says you must be 21 to be on the balcony, does that mean that if I'm on the floor I can't drink?! The reason I'm going to this show out of my way is because its my 21st B-Day..."

you have to be 21 to get in the balcony by theory at the pageant, but i've never seen them turn anyone away from upstairs for being underage.
if you try to get served and are under its going to be a differant ballgame i bet. the first few rows of balcony have a waitress that comes around sometimes, i think thats got alot to do with the age limit upstairs.

if you want seats get in line early(real early) and grab some of the ones at the tables on the ground level. great venue no matter where your at, be a good time for all. from what i remember you can drink on the lower level, just not on the floor. but that may change show by show. and have a happy bday show

I don't think you can hit Suite 100 for Roll Call pre sale purchases. For normal ticket sales, hell yeah hit the box office and pay cash as they waive the fees.

E-Wind. Normally the floor and part of the "section" just above it is all ages. Do as Rufus said to get drinks on the floor. Some of the security guys are cool, others not so much. The section around the soundboard and the main level bar area are stricktly 21+. Same for the Balconey

What is suite 100, and also the halo bar opens at five and you get to go into the show early is this correct?

Rufus T. Firefly · May 31, 2011, 01:40 PM

A thought for the GA folks like me. There is a bar (Halo) attached to the venue that opens early, I think 5 or 6 and then closes when the bar reaches capacity. Those folks are let into the venue before the "doors" open. There is typically an informal line in the bar so the earlier you get there the better your choices are in getting a GA area table.

I'll be there early of course.

You are able to go out and bring in food from the surrounding restaurants. My choice is pizza from Pi located directly across the street. It's a nice place with a bar and that would be a great place for the reserved folks to gather if your not going in early.

It's a store attached to the venue. They are open all day everything from coffee to band and Pageant merch and acts as the daytime box office.

Awesome - Thanks for the heads up!

mjk73 · May 31, 2011, 01:52 PM

Seriously, if you are using the Halo (my normal route of going), get there before 5 and wait in line to get into the bar. They will hit capacity very early for this one so be there early. They have been known to close the door 5 minutes after they open. And yes, get Pi. I have dreams of that fucking crust.

ChronicHunger · May 31, 2011, 01:56 PM

Right on, tickets purchased. It says box office opens at 3, is that going to be to late to get into the bar?

bigkidfallsdown.com · May 31, 2011, 01:57 PM

I will more than likely be taking the train in - arrives around 2 in the afternoon.

I got two balcony seats - I should hit this bar?

Christ did every bit of my hangover just spill out in this post?

ChronicHunger · May 31, 2011, 02:02 PM

God i hope we get a dondante like this one (or any for that matter, still havent seen it live) http://www.archive.org/details/mmj2008-09-05.fm_sbd.flac16

Yep. Doors for Halo open officially at 5 but for big shows lines outside start anytime between 4-4:30. Last time I saw Modest Mouse, I didn't arrive early enough and they hit capacity in 10 minutes.

Got two center balcony tix. My friend actually was able to order 4 tickets! I didn't even try that thinking two was the limit. Doh! I'm going to have to buy 6-7 more on Friday.

To summarize about the Pageant:

Balcony which includes seats AND GA AND a bar, is 21+ only and they will check your hand stamp at the bottom of the stairs.

The lower level, has several areas, mainly a pit, and lots of tables and "tiered" levels and another bar. If you want a table, or a good sightline handrail upstairs or downstairs, get to the halo bar early, like darkland said. If you want to get rail in the pit, you could probably show up a bit later as the pit seems to take a while to fill up. There is usually an under 21 area off to one side of the stage. Sometimes drinks are allowed in the pit, but rarely and almost certainly NOT for this show. So under 21 can get in the pit.

Entire venue just went to no smoking. Bathrooms are usually open with no lines. Drinks can be tough to get when it's sold out so double fist at all times.
