Jim James april/may Tour

[justbcuzido]

I thought I would post this below in regards to the pre-sales happening this morning.  It's good to know if you don't, and a good refresher if you do.  Good luck to all!


"Please Note: Jim James is playing in much smaller venues than a typical MMJ show and due to venue contracts, the pre-sale inventory for Roll Call is very limited.  We wish we could offer more inventory during the presale, but we can't. If you are unable to secure tickets during the presale, please try during the public on-sale.

Also, please remember that fans have 8 minutes to complete a transaction once they have added tickets to their shopping cart. At the start of the presale, there is generally a heavy amount of traffic that hits the page and grabs all available inventory. If someone does not purchase the tickets after adding it to their cart, the ticket is then released. Presale inventory is not sold out until the "tickets" link takes you to the public on-sale link"

I wish he was playing a smaller venue here in Austin. Stubb's is where MMJ play.

I just picked up two for Stubbs as well. I think that is a perfect venue. Great sightlines wherever you are. Still intimate as it's not a huge outdoor venue. It is one of my favorite places to see big name acts (went to Alabama Shakes/Smashing Pumpkins this fall). What other venue would you want him to play?

In for the Vic as well.  Thankful my crappy internet at work got me through.

It is kinda odd how expensive the shipping charges are, but oh well.  Jim at the Vic!!  Can't Wait!

that was easy. Boston Roll Call

As much as I'd like to buy tix via my roll call account for the Fillmore show, the non-transferable thing is a total deal breaker.  PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ROLL CALL. I'll have to wait for the general on sale because I never know for sure where my work schedule is going to have me months from a particular date.

yup, thats why I've decided to be thankful for the nasvhille system mess-up so I can buy hard tix.

[MrWhippy]

Me and the Flakester in for DC.

[Hawkeye]

Almost signed up for Roll Call, to ensure I got tix.  Glad I didn't 

1) I really only anted the Red Rocks download and the option to buy presale tickets.  I would have paid $29.99 for that, but not the $48 it comes to with shipping and processing.

2) Sounds like the presale thing isn't working for Asheville anyway...

I will be on the Orange Peel website at noon sharp hoping to score 3 tix!  The only shows I've heard anyone having problems with at the OP were the Jack White show this year, the Smashing Pumpkins 2007, and the Beastie Boys...fingers crossed.

Some of Austin's larger venue capacities (approx):
Mohawk - 800 (?)
Paramount Theater - 1200
La Zona Rosa - 1200
Emo's East - 1650
Stubb's - 2200
ACL Live at Moody Theater- 2550
Bass Concert Hall - 2700
Austin Music Hall - 3250

I think Stubb's makes sense.  I reckon Moody Theater would have been better ... but it's even bigger than Stubb's.   Emo's East is a horrible venue/location.  Anywhere else is probably too small.

Not that I was expecting a Miami (or Florida) date...I'm still  that there are no close shows to me. 
Maybe next time 

[Murph]

aren't these tickets will call?   why is it charging you shipping?

Something about NY needing to mail the tickets. But even so....I get tickets in the mail from Ticketmaster or Ticketfly because it's no charge. I didn't expect to pay $6 to ship these tickets lol

I didnt expect to pay $50 for these tickets, too steep if you ask me.  I'd bet that 50 bucks is the most expensive show that has taken place at Webster Hall in years.  But it is what it is, just happy I got a ticket

I was quite surprised. After I saw someone else mention $26 for a different date I got excited. Should have realized I'd pay double that lol.

Masquerade - Atlanta, GA 5/04...  Just found it trying to re pull up the Asheville page to see if it was working yet.

Love Stubb's. Was hoping against odds we would two nights at the parish or something. Not sure how big the new Antone's will be when it opens. The AC at lzr might have been nice too!

Definately hitting up the DC show and might actually hit up the Asheville show as I've been looking for a reason to hit up one of my favorite southern towns.

The Orange Peel is a great venue as well, if you've never been.

just don't try to drink there...or drink too much...or look suspicious...they're WEIRD there..my friend got padded down because he was 'going up and saying hi to too many people' and to drink liquor you have to buy a membership and go to the club downstairs (and you can bring one guest in) PS i love the venue but they're STRANGE..

That is weird.  I've only been there twice but...I think I was even the weird guy there one time...but never been harassed.  I'm more of a beer guy so I don't usually go downstairs, but we went down there last time...they do make some pretty tasty beverages, but they are $$$ (to be expected).  More than anything I was amazed how empty it was last time I was there.  White Denim and Maps & Atlases and the place was EMPTY.  Maybe 100 people?

Kind of strange to hear that though as Asheville is considered the "Paris" of the south and the local college is pretty much a hippie haven.  I figured the peel would be a pretty laid back venue.  I grew up about 2 hours away from here in VA so I'm used to the unusal ways of a lot of the southern towns can be so hopefully we can get around that whole ordeal.  I'm still really stoked about the venue as a lot of people I know say its an awesome place to see a show.

i'm not sure...i've been there 4 times and loved each show but it's a weird place and maybe it was just for DBT shows but there were undercover security throughout the crowd, my cousins and i got cut off the first time there (drunk but not disorderly or hurting anyone), my friend this year got searched (he was there with his wife, when he asked why, they said he looked suspicious going up and saying hi to too many peopele), I even heard Mike Cooley make a joke about having to sneak liquor backstage (they have some sort of law against it)..yeah, Asheville's an awesome hippie town, i love it but the Orange peel is just a strange place when it comes ot drinking.

i'm sure it'll be different for a JJ show..

Wow, maybe they've been under pressure to stop illegal activities at the venue or excessive drinking.  That happens from time to time, I know at one Widespread show near my hometown there was a report in the newspaper that 150 citations/arrests were made at the show or something crazy like that for various offenses.  Small areas can get a little too overly protective at times in the bible belt trying to keep everything under control.  I'll just have to make sure to be properly lubed up  prior to heading in.

Always a good idea.  Also, don't eat the brown acid.

[jcoyote]

Barley's will be happy to assist you with that.  Nice selection of taps, and their feta and andouille sausage pizza, Oh My!!
