Jim James - 2/18 @ Johnny Brenda's

[ericm]

I have heard absolutely nothing yet as far as anyone getting rid of tickets. I've got my ears open for Eric but it doesn't seem promising. I'm holding out hope though.

Thanks again Angelo.    I appreciate it.

Little concerned about this email I received today....a friend of mine who is a non-fan was helping me get tickets and we both ended up with a pair. Sold hers to some friends of mine who are huge fans, and now it appears as though this transfer of tix won't be able to happen. Anyone else going to run into the same issue?

Hello -


An important note from Johnny Brenda's:

In an effort to cut down on scalping, there will be no will call ticket swaps for Jim James on February 18. Also, the individual who purchased the will call tickets will need to be present with their ID, along with anyone for whom they bought tickets.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Ticketfly Customer Support. Please include your name and confirmation number with all correspondence.

Thank you!

bump

anyone with an extra ticket to this one?

[JerseyDan]

i just wanna take a second and vouch for Johnny Brenda's...I work very closely with the establishment both on the beer side of things, as a DJ (shameless plus, spinning there March 29!) and helping out with a show every now and again. No funny business here folks, place holds 250 people. They only had 20 tickets at the place itself, that's not even 10% of the whole joint! And when you think about it, JJ sold out Union Transfer which holds 1100 people in equally quick order. the strength of The Jacket in Philly is strong, they only average bigger crowds in NYC and L'Ville.

Food for thought...

Union Transfer does not hold 1100 people, sorry.  It only holds about half that amount. 

[JerseyDan]

1050 sellable, 50 comps = 1100 capacity. the venue is my #1 account for my dayjob and owned and operated by some of my closest friends. they can scale down to 600 but this show is the whole-shibang. sayin'

Looking for one ticket to the show--I have an extra spot in NYC at McKittrick I could trade

[werljam]

I live in Philly. If you have a ticket to spare, I can provide you a free place to stay and/or a fresh bottle of PLINY THE ELDER (bottled 1/25/2013).

[Angelo]

Anyone hear if Roll Callers will get early entry?

[Angelo]

FYI: From ground (ctrl), there will not be early entry for Roll Call members. I also talked to someone at the venue and their will call is basically "someone with a clipboard". As of now there will not be a separate line for will callers and those with physical tickets. She said this is a special show for them and a unique situation with how high the demand is. Because of that they may do things differently but for now, they will handle entry the same as other shows.

[JerseyDan]

to the effect of this last post, there is genuinely no room for a line. you walk into a tiny hallway then up a tight flight of stairs. maybe a line could form outside but Feb 18 doesn't sound like an ideal time to be outside...one way in the venue, one way out of the venue

[Angelo]

I have no problem lining up on Feb 18th or the 18th of any other month for that matter. I've lived in the northeast my entire life, being cold is nothing new.

I'm with you about the cold there Angelo, and WOOHOO I just scored a ticket,  I will be there with you lining up as soon as I can get there. Probably not before 6:30-7:00, but I'll be there.

hmmm, thought i read that it only held about 600 somewhere.  And everytime i've been there doesn't seem like there was 1100 people there.  Oh well i guess you would know better than me.

Also still need an extra ticket to the show

I've heard that 600 number more than a few times too,but also that it could hold up to 1,000 if they push the stage back. That would sound more like a DJ/ dance type show than a concert with a band on stage. Guess we'll find out when we get there.

[JerseyDan]

trust me its 1100 for JJ. they only scale down to 600, not scale up to 1100.

[ericm]

Not saying I don't believe you, but why then would this be a part of a press release about the opening of the place?


Located just steps from Center City at 1004-26 Spring Garden Street in the former Spaghetti Warehouse location, the concept was developed by the all-star group to meet Philadelphia's need for a mid-sized live music venue. Union Transfer will accommodate 600, and up to 1,000 with the stage pushed back.

It sure sounds to me like 600 is the norm for a concert.

[JerseyDan]

why the conspiracy theory? can we not accept as a fan base that JJ can sell that many tickets?
