Soundcheck Parties

[LB]

can anyone guestimate about when the soundcheck parties will be for the NOLA show? I know its a shot in the dark, but I'm just wondering if I need to rearrange my work schedule that day. I'm planned on being done at 2:00 and I'm 2.5 hours away

i feel like most of the ones i've been to were around 4:00.

Just awesome.....e-mail sent to me for Detroit soundcheck said the 16th (day off, would have been perfect) and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get through....now come to find out it's actually the 17th, meaning I miss out out on the signed poster and can't go to soundcheck that day because of work....frickin' bummed!

I got a soundcheck ticket for MPP, can't wait!  Just to confirm, the signed posters are signed by the band and not just the poster artist, correct?

The poster is signed by the band. I called to double check before ordering the poster and sound check package for Minneapolis.

Excellent, thanks!

I land in Minneapolis at 1.  Do you all think this would give me enough time to make it to the venue for the soundcheck?

I think you should have no problem getting to the soundcheck. Show starts at 7 so i'm guessing they should check anywhere from 4-6pm. I know at Somerset they let us in about an hour before the actual show started, but then had to re-form a line to get in for GA.

See you there!

During the order process, they refer to delivery of the soundcheck party tickets as "will call".  Experience suggests you simply have the order receipt printout and an ID ready and they'll check you in from a list on clipboard.  That's what they did for most of the soundcheck parties I've participated in - MPP, Mann, and Forecastle in 2012.

silly question, but i assume you need an actual ticket to the show to be able to gain access to the soundcheck parties.  i have tickets to the milwaukee shows.  my 6 year old son is a little too young to make it through the show, but i was hoping i could just purchase an extra soundcheck ticket for him for sunday night.  he could enjoy a few tunes and see the band etc etc....this probably won't work though right.....i assume you need a concert ticket in hand?  thx

I don't see any reason why you couldn't bring him to the soundcheck without having him attend the show itself.  I'd do it!

Oh, and two soundcheck tix w/posters secured for night 2 Milwaukee, one for me and one for my 13 year old daughter.  The show is on Father's Day, by the way...

thanks johnnYYac!!!  i think we're going to try!  much appreciated.

For sure. The venue is only 15-20 minutes from the airport.  Allow some extra time for parking, but it should not be a problem. Mpls is a small "big" city (400,000) and pretty easy to navigate.

hey dude, they fucked up (shocker!) and it's actually on the 16th.  hopefully some tix for it are still available...

We're in for MPP and C'ville as well.  Loved all of the ones we did for the past few tours and this time its nice they are actually signing the posters, so extra bonus there.

Nice! 

The Camden/MPP weekend is shaping up to be even better than expected.
