MMJ with Preservation Hall...AT PRESERVATION HALL!

Your right. I emailed him back asking if there are going to be any last minute tickets for sale and he said there will not....bummer. I wonder what's gonna happen with all those scalped tickets - sold and unsold....

If anyone is selling an extra for this show, please send me an instant message. I am flying in solo for Jazz Fest just for MMJ and am saddened that I missed on the opportunity to buy a ticket for this event.

I can assist you with getting tickets to other upcoming MMJ shows, I work for a large concert promoter.

Thanks.

QuoteI 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.

Agree...though, this show is early enough to head over there and see what happens. Well, that's my plan right now anyway. :) If I get lucky and someone has an extra to sell - Great! If not, I'll stroll over to One Eyed Jacks for Morning 40 Federation. Doesn't get much better than drunk-punk-funk music -- and it's a reunion of sorts too! Then down to the Blue Nile for Frequinox at 2.

Is it Jazz Fest yet!?!? :D

QuoteLooks 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

This policy is all rumor...I got my ticket from a friend who bought them and can't go and he says nothing was said of this during the whole ticket buying/receiving process...Neither Ticketweb or PH has posted anything. Sounds like someone just trying to mess with scalpers..which is fine, except I have a ticket, but my name is not on purchase order...and I BETCHA I'll be inside come April 24th..lol

Not a rumor. That language is actually on the stub that came with my ticket. You might want to give PH a call beforehand, just to be safe.

;D

As long as I get at least 4 hours of sleep for most of the nights, I'm good. That and water, lots of water, during the day and it all seems to work out. :)

I usually sleep for a full 24 hours when I get home. ::)

Sassbox · Apr 16, 2010, 04:15 PM

I think I can only swing LBR @ dba Friday night and this show on Saturday night. Doesn't seem to matter how much water I consume during the day, I just can't keep going like I used to. :'(

Just found this, thought I'd share it with you guys and gals: "WWLTV.com's Jazz Fest picks for April 24"

"Pick of the Day: My Morning Jacket
As an avid concert goer, and someone who has traveled the U.S. to catch great live music, I can honestly say My Morning Jacket is easily one of the top two or three live acts I have ever seen. This is not only my pick of the day, but my pick of the entire festival. Known for their epic performances at Bonnaroo over the years, Jim James and company will dazzle the Saturday night crowd at the Fairgrounds."

And:
"Pick of the Day: My Morning Jacket
My Morning Jacket is in my top three favorite bands of the moment and unfortunately, I can't see them because of the NFL Draft. But I implore each and every one of you to go see one of the great live shows of our generation. It'll be worth the time."

Found here: http://www.wwltv.com/news/local/WWLTVcoms-Jazz-Fest-picks-for-April-24-91644844.html

(also hope this is the right thread, I'm a bit confused with all the different shows, sorry if it's the wrong one)

Wow...impressive. Not that he's telling us something we didn't already know ;)
