MMJ with Preservation Hall...AT PRESERVATION HALL!

[LowDownLuvDawg]

scalpers are always going to be able to take advantage of a system that is flawed however I feel like a band of Jacket's caliber really should have helped fans out more here.  Okay, I'm done... when's Birmingham.... :D

I agree that this would have been a great time to do will call only. I also want to say I think that MMJ should  start something similar to the "10 club"  that Pearl Jam has to allow fans first access to tickets.

but we should call it "11 Club"

Agreed, I have 10C for PJ and its a great system. It sometimes sucks waiting in the WC line & getting shut out of tix after paying for a membership, but for good seats its worth it. WC would probably have been best bet for this show... although the way scalpers work these days, who knows.

$2500. WTF?!? Go to the post and flag it as prohibited. Humanity really bites sometimes. I'm sorry I didn't grab an extra ticket for you NoVa...didn't realize how quickly it would sell out and assumed you'd be online when I PMd you.  :(

No worries, Sass!  And thanks for sending the PM.  It'll all work out.   :)

I love the idea of calling it the "11 club" HA!  :)

I second that motion...I would love to see this.  Just need 2 tix...could it be possible?!

[theonlyone]

I so wanna go.

i got a friend who works at pres hall... she says it is completely sold out that only 60 tickets were available.  I plan on sitting outside and listening however my friend also said that they are going to have extra security and i am wondering if they are going to hassle any one hanging around outside.   My friend also said that it is becoming a big publicity thing for pres hall... a kind of photo opportunity for them is how she explained it.  So i dunno how it's going to work out im going to try my luck and also consider paying a pretty penny for this priceless show

There are people on the JF board saying the same thing about only 60 tickets being sold. If I can't find tickets before the night of the show I will probably just head to another show.

if you are unfamilar with pres hall it is very small and you can hear the band very well from outside... wish they would leave the shutters open but thats doubtful

[midwesterner]

I am very familiar with Preservation Hall but still I just can't justify sitting on the street trying to listen to the show when so much other great music will be going on in New Orleans. I have gotten the chance to see some very special MMJ shows. I may just have to sit this one out if I can't find tickets.

I'll likely be outside as well.  I've tried every avenue I can think of to score tix without spending a months paycheck.  If thats the case, we should have a worthy crew outside.

Looks like scalpers are SOL:

"Attention Ticket Buyers for Preservation Hall Jazz Band together with My Morning Jacket: Please be prepared to show a valid ID when arriving at the event.  The name on the ID must match the name of the ticket purchaser that we have on record .  Thanks and we're looking forward to a great show."

My ticket arrived yesterday  :D

The problem with this announcement is that if someone has already bought the tickets they are screwed.

Yeah, that's crazy; I'm sure there have been some unofficial exchanges prior to this announcement.

I've been looking for a ticket since the day they went on sale.  I posted on the New Orleans Craigslist about wanting to buy a ticket last week and today I got an email by a random informing me of the caveat.  And I'd be coming from San Francisco...

[midwesterner]

I actually don't think that was a random person that emailed you about this policy. I too posted on Craigslist and got the same email. I think that person works for Preservation Hall because there email address was so and so @ preservationhall.com.
