There is a great deal of animus today regarding people not being able to get three-day passes/tickets for the Port Chester, NY and Boston, MA shows...i myself was unable to score tickets to Port Chester. Therefore, there have been a great deal of noise with people bashing Roll Call, and even more for GroundCTRL. While I am not in a position to make any statements regarding GroundCTRL, remember that being a member of Roll Call is also about having access to the community of MMJ fans...not just about scoring tickets early. All of that said...well typed, I too will be doing my best to get a pair of three-day passes for Port Chester on Friday. Good luck to everyone who will be doing the same, and thank you to everyone whose energy and excitement makes this such a fun environment!

and the vitriolic responses start...now.

No vitriolic response from me  :cool:

I appreciate your sentiment with the line "being a member of Roll Call is also about having access to the community of MMJ fans" but I don't totally agree with it. To me, I've been able to "access" the community of MMJ fans for years....even before Roll Call. Coming to this forum (lurking mostly  :wink:) and meeting/talking to people at shows.....that's what I think of when I think of the MMJ community of fans.

For me (and I know most people will have differing viewpoints) the roll call subscription was a way to:

1.) Support the band I love.
1.) Make sure I don't miss any MMJ news or shows
2.) Gain early entry to shows
3.) Get exclusive downloads (still waiting on some more of these...what happened to the hypnotism stuff?)

I've seen people complain that the price for Roll Call isn't worth the T-shirt/Poster combo they give but for me that stuff is just bonus. An extra gift on top of the opportunities that the fan club has given me.

So when I hear about a 3-night run that I absolutely can not miss and I'm told that because I paid a fee and am a member of the fan club that I will be able to get tickets early I admittedly get my hopes up. When I'm denied those tickets immediately (was on the site at 12:00 p.m. EST) I get pretty disappointed.

Now I'm not one of the people saying "fuck roll call" or "why did I even pay for this subscription?" because I know that it's just a bump in the road. I have benefitted from Roll Call already (early tickets and early entry to the Brooklyn show) so I don't have much to complain about. I'm hopeful that Friday is much smoother (like others are predicting). I really can't miss these shows. From the moment they were announced I knew I'd have to see all of them.

Wonderfully-measured response! It ultimately is about balancing the needs of the band and the fandom.

I didn't. I'm looking for only one ticket for the 3 day Port Chester and 1 for the Boston show. I really want to see them in my hometown of Boston on New Years Eve!

I really hope this list becomes moot after tomorrow morning.

I also read somewhere that one place says 10am for sale and the other says 12pm.  Has anyone verified when they go on sale tomorrow?

Thanks for that, scos. Does anybody know what the limit is on the number of 3-day passes one person can buy?

It was 2 in the pre-sale.  Probably the same tomorrow.  Let's all do our part to help share the wealth and any who get extra's - let's make sure all the good folks here who want them - get them.
was some shakin' and some record playin'

I can't imagine the cluster that would occur if all of the tickets sold were will call - even for a smaller venue. Surely you can get them mailed and/or printed.

parkervb

i have to think that the mandatory will call was to prevent brokers and such from hoarding tickets.  just a hunch.

pretty sure with three months before the shows, mailing them or print at home have to be options.

For some other concerts via TicketFly, it looks like the two options are Will Call and Print at Home.

Will Call transferring appears to be a venue policy thing. Some allow it, others don't. Haven't been able to find The Cap's policy yet, but hopefully today.

Tix are NON-transferable.  Just got off the phone w/ The Cap.
