The Cap shows 12/27, 12/28, 12/29

[itrainmonkeys]

Good to know, Haldon, thanks for doing that. I think enough of the 3-day passes will be available on Friday to get us taken care of. I know I'm going to be late for my 9am meeting that day.

If I can't get my hands on 3 GA tickets on Friday (either through the package or regular tix) I'll scream my face off.

I feel pretty fortunate that I was able to get 3 day passes for me and mrs. hh but fyi, based on past history, I would guess that RC was allotted no more than 10-20% of all available tix for the pre-sale.  When you factor in some for 3 day passes and the individual shows, that is not a lot of tickets for a small theater that holds only 1800 (plus ya gotta figure some tix are reserved for guests of the band/management/theater).

I would think that for everyone who tries to get tix on Friday and get's on right as they go on sale should have lots more success.

This is a small and intimate venue for a band that could sell out MUCH larger places.  Don't give up trying.

See you on the rail.

I can't say that I'm too positive in scoring tickets for these shows after today's cluster****.  Probably should start making alternative plans for the holidays.

I will be front and center at my computer at 10 am on Friday hoping to make this happen!  If not, I guess it wasn't meant to be...

We can have our own party elsewhere, maybe in the City, and live vicariously through everyone at the shows.

Ben- in order to help keep the peace between our 2 great nations and prevent a potential global conflict that could cause millions of lives and casualties, I will make it my mission to help you and Carol get tix when they go on sale on Friday.

So let it be written.   So let it be done.

Thanks for the post Haldon.    

Totally agree with you Jeff. It's been my experience that most bands only get 8-10 % of tix for their fan club, and those are spread out over all the available sections. For all we know Ticketfly might have even given them less. That's my feeling anyway.

We should be able to do much better on Friday,IMO.

a voice of reason. 

Just make sure you have a Ticketfly (this is not a ticketbastard venue) account and are signed in with plenty of time on Friday.

There ya go!   

I have one question about Friday.  On the band's homepage, they have it listed that tix will go on sale at 10 am edt, but when I went to the Ticketfly page and searched My Morning Jacket, the shows came up but the link for ticket purchases says that tix go on sale at 12 pm edt.  I'm going to call my favorite peeps at grnd ctrl to find out what gives?

[Northern Neighbour]

Thanks Jeff.  We hope you and Beth can make it to Boston.

Also, regarding PC, there are plenty of others who didn't get tickets, so I suggest a group effort.

WRT ticket sales for PC on Friday, I talked with someone at grnd ctrl and they said that they weren't sure why there was a discrepancy in the times for ticket sales but they would assume that the 12 pm time listed on TicketFly's website would be the correct time.  But she did say to check MMJ's homepage sometime this evening and the correct time would be updated...

did you ask about the presale debacle?


UPDATE: my friend called ground(ctrl) and they said they had very very few tix for the shows. Early entries will be honored with ticketfly tix.

Oh yay, I can stop refreshing like a maniac.

While I'm very happy for those of you that got your tickets, I am also feeling somewhat aggrieved that not all of us did.  I renewed my Roll Call membership solely for access to the special Roll Call members only pre-sales (as I'm sure is the case for most).  What good is a "first access" VIP pass if you can't even get tickets to the show?  Which means I paid how much for a t-shirt???

I agree with Haldon - I don't care about them having tickets for the regular sale on Friday.  Why should someone who didn't pay a membership fee have an equal chance at tickets as those of us who did pay?  I just don't see the logic there.

Anyway, I'm really pissed right now, sorry for the rant. 

I hope that that those of us who were shut out today have success on Friday

LOL!  Sounds like a MasterCard commercial...

Joining Roll Call with the hopes of obtaining tickets to what should be an epic 3 night run by My Morning Jacket at the historic Palace Theater... Forty Dollars...

Getting shut out of said tickets within the first minute they went on sale and settling on the fact that you just paid forty dollars for a t-shirt and a poster... Priceless!

My day:

12:00 p.m. - Sold out? already?

01:40 p.m. - If I keep clicking refresh surely I will get a ticket

4:00 p.m. - Here's hoping for the regular sale.

I'm very sorry to everyone who couldn't get tickets today... my record for fan club presales is only .500 all time and was .000 before this year.

But I would like to get the ball rolling and get some feedback, who would be into Sooner on 12/27?
(also, my forum account was deleted when they switched formats! what gives?)
