Jim James - 2/18 @ Johnny Brenda's

[headhunter]

same experience for me at Bklyn.

12 on the dot and nothing.  Not happy.

[GO4IT]

Struck out also despite being right there at noon.  Makes the presale failure look even worse in retrospect, if that's possible.

Well pretty disappointed kept trying then around 1210 got 2 tickets in my cart and with that 3 min time limit for some reason would not let me get past delivery info and lost them. Why would he play at such a small venue.

SOLD OUT!

Hit buy at exactly 12:00, and nothing! Was also on the phone with an operator less than 15 seconds after 12, and they were all gone. 

That's fucked up. I'll keep my ears open for you.

Thanks Angelo.    I appreciate it, and will definitely return the favor in the future.

It's a drag about everyone getting shut out, but, mark my words, there will be another Philly show in a bigger venue.  These are just some warm up shows.  There is no way this is the official Philly stop.

I agree, but would've really loved seeing  Jim in such a small place. Granted, it's not the bar area of The Berkeley, but he didn't have a guitar with him then.

Hope your right

[werljam]

anyone see how there are already tickets on ebay going for 175 bucks a piece?

There is something really wrong with this.

I agree, and wonder how many were actually available for sale. Makes me wonder about the venue themselves having a fistful to do with as they please.

The $175.00 is cheap compared to the $300.00 tix now on Stubhub! 

[Jims Poncho]

I was at Johnny Brenda's at about 11:15, the guy working the door said they only had 20 to sell, put my name on a list, and got 2 for me and my girl. He also said that Jim was actually holding "a bunch" so I'm expecting contests and/or giveaways. Best of luck to everyone!

[JaneCool]

Desperately seeking two (one for me and one for ericm) if anyone comes across extras. Very disappointed once again. 

[mountain man]

Same experience here...12:00 & bupkis. Bummed because Johnny Brenda's is a great venue. If anyone comes across an extra pair, please keep me in mind.

I think he's playing small rooms in Philly & NYC to test out his material.  Hardcore fanbase in those cities so odds are the fans will still have a good time.

I think he'll come back around to both cities soon enough.  Sellouts always bring on more dates.

I could see the TLA in Philly and Webster Hall in NYC.

[Jims Poncho]

the fans will still have a good time.

You better believe it

[dmooney99]

Like a lot of people I got on at noon and got shut out.   Was at work but had an app for johnny brenda's.  Got "sorry tickets are in other shopping carts, please try again for next available.  I was trying for 30 minutes, praying/hoping.   Long shot but if anyone has an extra ticket let me know? Thanks!

hopefully he'll come back and play there.  JB's is very small.  I've been there about 10 times for some indie bands.  Very nice venue though!

[BIGVICLBI]

Got shut out but I'll show up anyway.

[crookedheart82]

Really sorry to see so many people got shut out. I managed to keep my students busy for five minutes and miraculously got in with no issues right at 9am PST. My school district must have a lucky internet connection. Best of luck to everyone!

[GO4IT]

Having just found out I can't go to any of the East Coast shows due to work travel, this looks like the only show I can make. APR and I will road trip up if some kind soul can put us on to some tix.

[Angelo]

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.
