Is wonderful Union the new name for ground control? Or are they separate companies?

New name

and same results  :cry:
To be honest,  it sounds like they are getting worse.

Yea, this is still pre-tour. Let's wait and see how things are handled once the band is actually playing shows.

From here on out, I'm going to assume the benefit of Roll Call is the chance to get into the special things (e.g. listening party in LA, Waterfall rehearsal shows).   Obtaining the best seats and ease of ordering tickets is no longer on my list of Roll Call benefits.

If my early entry goes smoothly in Athens, I might lighten up a little too.

That's really a big thing for me too, if that actually works correctly then I'll be pretty satisfied.

Early entry has not been confirmed as a Roll Call benefit, has it?

WOW....

If I thought I was depressed about Blunderful Union before.

I made the mistake of calling them today and getting through, I asked why my account was suspended and after looking for like 10 min was hung up on....

Nice service, soooo my wife mentioned going onto the BBB and I did tonight. This is NOT what I would call a reputable company in any way shape or form. Glancing through their complainants, is like a whos who of different bands with the same issues we have.

I especially liked a complaint where they responded with "its not their fault" as the software used for purchasing tickets is a 3rd party not theirs.

Morale of this story for me? I wont ever consider doing business with these guys again, I'm amazed they still have the bands they do signed up with them based on all the complaints.

What a shame, I'm sure the boys are busy with the new album promotions (as they should be), my hope is that they have a contact with Blunderful and when it expires they get a Ma and Pa type company that represents them in a far more honorable manner with customer service being the top priority.

So why did they hang up on you?

Now THAT is the million dollar question.....I have no idea, but they wouldnt answer when I called back after, suddenly it became "after hours" and rolled over to the voice message.

Hey Wonderful Union, you still lurking around here reading all these comments?  Disgraceful.  I'm happy with winning the show contest too, but my injustice meter has been maxed out seeing all these fans getting treated like crap.

Yes.  It's great that a lot of people won tickets and had an amazing experience.  But a lot of people who had bad experiences with ticket sales also probably didn't win the lottery for the special shows and are still upset about both.

There's even a facebook page dedicated to them sucking.

And if you care to read BBB complaints on them, they all sound quite familiar to the recent presale debacle MMJ fans had to deal with.

I'm really not sure how a business can continue to operate like this for so long.

So I just typed forums.mymorningjacket.com in my web brower,  hit enter and was like noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It directed me to http://www.groundctrl.com/

I thought it was some sort for cruel joke.

then I realized it's "forum" not "forums"

True story right there.
