Roll Call VA Beach

[manonthemoon]

1st off got to say I was disappointed that all of the GA Pit Tix were only available with the Hot Tix option of $205 per ticket or at least thats the only way I was able to pull tickets off of Live Nation so looking like a seated show for us.

there are still some available.  It was unnecessarily confusing - you have to first pick your ticket price level under "Full Price Ticket" (the $94.50 option) and then under "Additional", pick General Admission. 
 
I hate Ticketmaster/Live Nation as I am sure many regular concert-goers do.

Thanks you guys for the info I'll have to go ahead and grab a pair and email them about the pair my wife had bought them during the presale.  That makes my day as I hate seated shows, especially for Jacket  .

You got it man.    I'd call them about canceling your order though. Pretty sure it has to be done by phone.  There's a return policy link on the upper right of the buy tix page for each show. It should have all the info, and a support phone# or at least a link to one.

My return went super smooth, and they only wanted the order # being canceled. She never even asked for proof  that I upgraded or the pit ticket order #. Credit applied directly back to my Amex within a day.

Yeah, had to get the wife to do it since the purchase was on her account, but I was really suprised that even the Live Nation people couldn't find the tickets at first for Pit Availability  .  I had to walk my wife through how to find them so that she could relay that to them.  You know you made it to hard on the consumer when your own staff can't find the tickets.  All is set now so happy to be able to make the exchange, thanks again for all of the info and help Eric and Parker. 

Sidenote, you making it down to the MPP show Eric?  I thought I saw you were thinking about it.

[ericm]

Nah Brett, MPP is not looking likely right now. Mid week is tough, but if it works out last minute that I can make it, I'll be sure to let you know. Gonna be tough to top our last time there, but it'll be nice to try! 

[parkervb]

this might be the saddest Roll Call ever...

[manonthemoon]

this might be the saddest Roll Call ever...

Yeah, I don't know if the 7 cities are a hot bed for MMJ, I was thinking Dylan would be the big pull down there.  Oh well, just means the Pit will be that much more manageable especially comming off of MPP where its always crazy.

I have to agree there. The only things that move tickets around here is mainstream country, DMB and Buffett.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are less than 5k tickets sold for this.  Place holds 20k.

You also forgot the 80's rock bands that always have shows down there.  I remember back in 05-07 when we lived down there it seemed like there were always some old bands playing in the area.

So trying to figure out a game plan for this show as we're all set for MMP and Camden.  What is the tailgating like at the venue, never been, and are there any good bars nearby or decent resturants?  Might also try to pick up a nice cigar while in town, but if not too many good options I'll just bring something from Old Town when we come down.  Any suggestions are appreciated .

Best bet for bar nearby is Finn McCools at Landstown Commons, fairly generic Irish pub type place.  It's really close to the venue.  For cigars, Emerson's is not far off the highway and its close to the Yardhouse which has a sick beer selection, over 100+ on draft.  It's about 5 miles from the venue in the Town Center area of VB

I'm very close to joining the roll call for this show.  It's a challenge to pull this off right after Merriweather and right before Newport, but at least by the end of last week work responsibilities seemed to be parting like the red sea for Moses to make this work out for me.

It's crazy to go onto Livenation's interactive seat map and see how poorly this show has sold.  Still pit available and the front sections aren't even sold out.  Could be a very intimate affair.

Do it Whip, I think they'll be all riled up after MPP the night before. 

Not suprised to hear about the show not selling so well.  Just got back from 5 days in Nags Head and there were tons of radio spots talking about the show so I figured that might be the case.  Oh well, just means we won't have to fight to get a good place in the Pit and probably won't have to line up as early.  The MPP show will probably be the opposite based on typical MPP shows.

Parker, thanks for the info, emersons looks like a great shop and Yardhouse sounds right up my alley so we may check those out if we don't over do it the day before at MPP.  Might still try to tailgate a little though just to see when might be a good time to start lining up for a good spot inside the venue.  Cheers  .

you're quite welcome.  I am also not surprised to hear about the ticket sales or lack there of (the 757 can be kinda lame)  I think this would have been a perfect show for the Portsmouth amphitheater but getting to that place by 5pm on a Wednesday would have a nightmare.  Me and the group I will be going with will be there for Ryan Bingham and all have GA tickets, it would be cool to meet some forum folks, so PM me if you want to meet at the venue for some tailgating.

TAKE NOTICE: If you're coming from the west, just be sure to account for the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel.  It could easily have a multi-mile backup from 2pm on.  The Monitor-Merrimac is the other option but there will be a sign in Newport News telling you the estimated times to VB going either way.
