When are we going to hear about early entry and get our roll call badges? The tour starts in less than a month.

RC packages are in transit now. You can login to your account to get the tracking number. If the tracking number doesn't work, chat with WU support and they'll give you the real number (don't ask). That should answer yer badge question but I can't help you on early entry.

Fully

Thanks,  Ang. Now let it get here before May 15, I'll be happy.

I got mine yesterday, so hopefully y'alls are on the way as well.
My heart can't wait to meet you on the other side.

I like it when you speak southern,  Whippy.

I'm looking forward to seeing you easy way. I can't remember if we've met before,  but I think we have.

Hmm I got the membership that gave end of last year and all through this year but the laminate looks different I wonder if the venues will be notified properly for early entry

easy way

It is my understanding that early entry will be available during this tour for Roll Call members +1 with either the 2014/15 "tiger in a dress" laminate or the 2015 "peacock waterfall" laminate. 

I received the newest laminate, by itself, today.  This is the case for anyone who added 2015 Roll Call to any preorder of The Waterfall.  The poster and t-shirt will ship separately.  Those who ordered the 2015 Roll Call membership from MMJ's website should get all 3 pieces in one shipment. 
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

any confirmation yet on early entry?

I emailed WU last week inquiring about early entry, specifically for the Georgia Theatre show 05/15/2015.
WU response dated 04/28/2015:
"Hello,
Thanks for contacting our fan support team.
Unfortunately, we do not currently know if early entry will be available for that particular concert, but that information will be made available closer to the date of the event.
Yes, the laminate will be needed in order to gain early entry if it is available for that event.
Sincerely,
Wonderful Union

hmmm...since the austin shows are GA there is really no advantage to doing the roll call sale unless there is early entry.

As long as you're a RC member and have your laminate, it doesn't matter how you get your GA ticket. You don't need to purchase through the RC presale to be eligible for early entry.

Agreed.
I suspect early entry will be announced for the GA shows a few days prior.  Question is; will the venue receive proper notification and comply?
I've considered starting a small movement wherein we inundate WU with emails in the hopes someone sees the need to speak with the venue/s directly.  I don't see any harm in confirming early entry protocols are in place.

Most have been will call but they're mailing the Chicago tix so who knows? I didn't know about Chicago being mailed until checkout.

We really need to get a Roll Call movement going where we get on Wonderful Union  about being able to transfer Will Call tix to other RC members if we can't make a show, and not have them sit at the Box Office, and go unused.

I was wondering about whether the laminate would grant the holder +1 entry, so I emailed WU, and received the following today " Laminates only guarantee the laminate holder early entry to concerts where available".  Now, I can't recall if the official WU Policy last tour (or even Circuital) was +1, but I know my laminate got me +1 early entry.  Perhaps it is a venue by venue decision, and that's why the WU reply said it only 'guaranteed' early entry for the holder (i.e. some venues may decide to allow +1)? 

Anyways, this presents a potentially dilemma to more than just me, I'm sure, for others who planned to take a spouse/friend into the show with you... so here's a thought.... anyone wanna 'loan' their laminates to each other for your respective show(s)?  For instance, I can only probably go to the 6/4 Pittsburgh show, which I have 2 tix for, and would like to go in early entry (Stage AE, the venue, did have +1 during Circuital tour, but I'd rather not risk it)... if someone going to a show or show(s) later in the tour has a laminate that they wouldn't mind 'loaning' me to use at the Pittsburgh show, I would mail your laminate, as well as mine, back to you immediately after the Pittsburgh show, so you have two to use for whatever shows you want (I do not really care about getting my the laminate back).  Lemme know if anyone is up for it!  PM or reply here and we can sort out the details. 

jaye

"Laminates only guarantee the laminate holder early entry to concerts where available"

That is absolutely ridiculous.  How could they think that will work for most people?? 

It was definitely +1 in the past.
