Red Rocks - August 14

[bwah06]

I'll be there. I live about 6 minutes from the venue. So PLEASE, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask me.

Will RR be all GA seating like previous Jacket shows there. They early roll call entry was awesome. Thanks.

Was wondering about the early access. If I go with a friend who is not a roll call member will I be able to get him in early with my laminate or can you not do +1s?

+1's were allowed last time as well as a nice VIP soundcheck.  hoping for the same this go 'round.

Thanks much E-Stone!

That's true but like needing their own show tickets, the +1 and Roll Caller also has to have their own sound  check tickets.  Obviously the Roll Caller has to make that SC purchase but just wanted to make sure people know the only thing the +1 gets for free is the early access. Roll Callers are only eligible to purchase those VIP's, they aren't part of the regular ticket cost, and are a separate purchase.

There was some confusion about this initially when it was first offered, and just wanted to give a heads up to new RC's.

[e-stone]

yes - thanks for the clarification ericm!

I'll be looking forward to seeing another MMJ show at Red Rocks. They have really put on GREAT shows there EVERY time . Going to also try for the Miami show too .

[Stevie]

I just got off the phone with Red Rocks customer service.  I asked if they could tell me which sections would be reserved and which would be GA for the MMJ show and she said she did not have that information yet. 

You would think that they will DEFINITELY have that info handy when ordering the tickets, yeah?  And since both reserved and GA are pretty big, it shouldn't be a big worry to have to click real fast.. so i'm thinking just take a close look before you pick when the time comes.

However, if anyone else has better luck than me getting the info out of them that would be something to post here! 

BTW:  I've noticed that the Alabama Shakes have no other tour dates within 9 days of their Red Rocks show.  You think it's possible that Brittany shows up a couple days early to sit in with MMJ for a song or two?

I'm wondering if it is worth it to purchase Roll Call tickets or just get regular. If it is GA, I have my pass for entry. Roll call historically has been will call with no transfers. It is 1000+ mile drive for me, and if for some reason it fell through, I want to sell my tickets. The big draw for me is I have camped all over the western US, and Western Rockies in Co. are my favorite place, so camping in heaven for a few days, followed up by an MMJ show at Red Rocks is my kind of trip. Just want to keep options open, as anything can happen between now and August. And what is with MMJ being listed each night for the festivals? Does that mean they just don't know which day they are playing yet, and they don't sell one day passes?

[ericm]

That's a really good point about no transferring of RC tix. It's one of the reasons I never get too bummed if I get shutout of a presale. Especially for shows I'm traveling to. I much rather have a hard ticket in hand that I can at worst Miracle someone if I can't make it.

I really wish they would alter that RC policy, and at least allow us to transfer the tix to another Roll Caller. I understand keeping the tix out of people's hands who aren't members but just switching a name to another Roll Caller for pickup at Will Call could be monitored pretty easy I would think.

i'm planning on Road tripping with my dad...my friends all backed out.  We've been talking about this for years, since the last RR show. and all of a sudden everyone is like eh fuck it. I"m pissed.  But I'm stoked i don't have to wait to the next Seattle show to get my Jacket Head father to a show!

[ffghtrs]

also I got my dad, who introduced me to ROCK AND ROLL, into MMJ with Circuital and a burned copy of the T5 shows back in 2011, he's such a fan he's picked out song(s) he wants played at his funeral.  Which hopefully isn't for another 40 years, 105 would be a good age for him.  Any who i'm rambling and stoked!

Shit, that sounds awesome man!  I wish my dad liked good music.  He's a dinosaur though there's no chance.  He's the kind of guy that loved the beatles until they "starting doing all that hippy stuff with their LSD."  At least we can agree on Neil Young.  Anyway, hope you guys have a great time!

Sounds like a great road trip with your dad! My wife and I will be driving from Houston. She has been awesome with putting up with my MMJ addiction, and knows how bad I have been dying to go to Red Rocks, especially for MMJ. I tried to sell her on the 3 nights in Chicago too, but she said I would have to give up OBH3. After going to OBH1 and OBH2, there is no way I am missing OBH3.

Red Rocks staff wouldn't know. they're a state park. You need to speak with the promoter AEG Live. They would know the plan well before the park.

[bloomcat]

I already have plans to attend the Brandi Carlile show on August 15th so I am out of my mind at the thought of seeing MMJ on the 14th!!! I have been to Brandi's shows at RR the last two years and I can't imagine a better venue for an MMJ show.
I wish we could stay for Alabama Shakes on Sunday but we just paid NINETY SIX dollars for two tickets to see them in Indy. I mean, for Alabama Shakes? in Indianapolis?
I'm hoping for a Brandi and the twins sighting at MMJ. I know one or both of the twins are big fans.

For those asking about a shuttle to and from red rocks, here is what has been by far the most recommended by my friends around here:

http://bustoshow.org/

Also, if you want your own shuttle which we can certainly organize here in forum a shuttle roll call. My friend Brad runs his own shuttle business but you have to reserve the whole shuttle. He said he has an option to incorporate private dispensary tours.

[e-stone]

so this seems to have been added recently to the Red Rocks ticket page:

*please note: there will be multiple ticket options for this show (general admission & reserved).  if either of these options sells out during the presale, please be aware that additional inventory in that option may become available at the public on-sale.*

so we at least know it will be either the traditional GA/RESERVED/GA setup or the new, Wilco-Fiasco-Style RESERVED/GA. 

just be sure to take a close look on Monday morning before selecting unless this can get cleared up beforehand!

[gardenparty]

anybody know the price of tickets yet?

this will be my show of the summer assuming I can get tickets

[gardenparty]

oh here it is:
Event Info


Ages: All Ages

Doors Open: 6:30PM

Price: $45.00 - $49.95

Door Price: $55.00

Onsale: Fri, Mar 13, 2015 - 10:00AM MST

[Stevie]

They have added info to many of the shows on the events page. 

For Red Rocks we now have a seating chart!



If that didn't work, looks like it's the standard GA-Reserved-GA that we are accustomed to.  So there it is!  We are what they refer to as, "good."

[smhoffmann02]

Anyone else bummed RR isn't a multi night run?

[Stevie]

Not after seeing the chicago run, no.  For me, Chicago Theater is the indoor equivalent of red rocks in terms of the venue im always hoping that they will play.  Aside from that most of us can just hit two or three of stl/kc/rr and craft our own little multi nighter.  Not quite the same but still pretty cool.

Next year, though.  Im hoping for three nights in Morrison and for everyone here to make the trip.
