I sucked it up and joined today.  I emailed RollCallLam@gmail.com today to ask about whether I can gain early entrance into the show on the 23rd.  Anyone know if this is possible at all without the laminate since I emailed them?

Also, I did not receive a download code to get a live show in my email.  Any ideas?

Yes it's possible. You can purchase presale tix now too. Just contact grndctrl to be sure, but if you print out you enrollment confirmation you should be good to go. They made arrangements last summer for folks who hadn't received their laminates in time for their shows, so I don't see why this would be any different. It might be a venue thing though, so definitely contact grnd ctrl

It sounds like I can't gain entry with a printout based on this message, but I did email them 2 days prior to the show, so we will see.  I appreciate the help Eric!

ONLY THE 2012 ROLL CALL MEMBERSHIP LAMINATE  will allow you (+1) to enter through this line. Refer to the forum threads for each show's specific First Entry Instructions. Again, we are offering this opportunity where and whenever possible per venue's capabilities.

FAQ

I DON'T HAVE MY 2012 ROLL CALL LAMINATE  FOR FIRST ENTRY:

Please email RollCallLam@gmail.com at least 2 DAYS PRIOR to the show you're attending. ONLY the membership laminate will allow you early entry. Venue staff working the "First Entry" Entrance will not accept print outs or ID. You MUST coordinate with ground(ctrl) in advance.

You got it EC. Are you going solo or with a +1?

Roll Callers are a pretty cool bunch, and I'd suggest putting some feelers out on the thread for your show. I'm sure someone going solo would hook you up as their +1 if Grnd ctrl can't help you out. I do think you'll be ok though, but the thread feeler might be a good backup plan.

We take care of our own!   :cool:

I got a +1 with me unfortunately.  I'll hop on the show thread and see, but as far as I know, there is just two of us roll callers on the forum going to that show, and he is bringing the Mrs.

Thanks again!

I'm a fan of the 2013 Roll Call Packages! The free live show, 7", and poster almost pay for the entire cost by themselves (Well that's before the insane shipping cost...). And of course the early entry, presale, etc are nice perks too  :thumbsup:

I also like the idea of having different tiers of packages.

Yeah i like the poster adn the other add ons will pay it themselves, plus it will help with tix for the upcomming tour.

That was my justification for going through with it.

How can this whole thing be so frustrating?!?

I order the 2013 package and got the 2012.  I ordered in late 01/2013 to gain early access to shows this year and was sent the package full of 2012.

OH, and it arrived last week.  4 full months to complete the order only to have it be wrong.

I emailed them but I thought it might be good to write something here as well.

feel free to contact me soon - the Jim James show in NYC is next Monday.

The 2012 laminate will get you early entry, if available for the NYC date, fwiw.  I feel your pain and can't explain the delay.  It seems that, since Roll Call was created in April of 2011, that the cycle of RC swag (poster, laminate, t-shirt, or whatever) runs the same cycle.  If you ordered in late January, the 2013 package had not yet been designed, so I'm not surprised you got the R. Fung gear.  I would strongly suggest, however, that you put a support ticket through at this site.

Where am I supposed to get my live show download code at?  I was told my email, but unless I am overlooking it, it is not there.  I'll email them in the morning about it, but I didn't know if you guys knew more about it or not.

I'm assuming they're gonna give folks a "gift code" to use at Live Downloads.  Here's to hoping the selection grows, as I have everything currently available.  As far as when, these Roll Call packages tend to be slow with delivery, funny considering the price charged for shipping... and yes, I know there's no shipping involved in an emailed download credit.  Still, expect delays.

Man, me too. I've always promised to take my near-70 year old mom to Dylan, and then in recent years have made the promise to take her to Jacket too, and I'm willing to join RC just to get the Cincinnati presale so she can sit a few rows from the stage and soak it all in. No dice. I hit ground control up on their website, but considering the issues I've had with preorders from them in the past, I'm not expecting a good result.

Y'all please keep your fingers crossed for me that some good seats are available for the Cincy show when they go onsale to the gen pub this weekend. The "Gold Package" ticketmaster presale is unconscionable.

I know Tenacious is a Dylan presale code.  You can try your luck with that, I am not sure if you'll eventually be asked for another code or not.

I used Tenacious, and it seemed to work, but I didn't buy tickets with it.  When I went back to the site to buy tickets, I put in my one time use Roll Call code and it gave me the same seat availability that Tenacious did.  It is worth a try.

The live redemption codes aren't available yet.  Ground Control will email us when they are.  I'm not sure why it takes so long to get live redemption codes when the fans spend so much on shipping and Roll Call.  It's a freaking code you email to me! My poster and laminate haven't arrived in the mail yet either, but that isn't surprising.  I'm expecting that to show up sometime in the next two weeks.   :thumbsup:

I don't want to burst your bubble about when your roll call package will arrive, but last year, mine took three months to get to my house. It's best not to get your hopes up. You'll be less frustrated that way. I'm totally serious about this. Maybe they've improved things, but judging by the "where the hell is my roll call package" thread on the roll call forum section, I think there are still issues.

I would be okay with this if the shipping cost wasn't $15.  I talked to a guy in Cbus who said that it took around a month or so to get his roll call package.  I can't believe it took you 3 months! It seems like the best way to deal with Ground Control is to just laugh it off.

I'm not in a hurry for the package, and I already have an extra laminate, but it is such a disservice to the fans.

has anyone cashed in their points for merch??? i've been a member 21 months and I'm still locked at less than 1000.  do we get another 500 for being in the club another year, or just the first?  I need 26 more friends to get another 500 and then I'll just "Be Social" until I can reach 1500 and cash in for a water bottle and be done with this lol
