OK...it's been 7 days since this show's tickets went on sale, and still no mention of it on the MMJ homepage. I am not saying that this isn't going to happen, because we know it is (people bought tickets for it). It's just curious how it hasn't been mentioned yet. When ever the boys are going to do an event or promote a cause, they put it right on the homepage...why not this event?

What's going on? :-?

Part of me is wishful that MMJ is going to release some spots on the list for us members or have a contest or just give one to me because I'm special... ;)

i think a lot of industry people probably got the tix, too
even if it was mentioned on levon's page and i just missed the email (they don't send updates for each new band but every few weeks or so) i agree, it's still a little strange.
i hope you're right, that they'd hold some tix back..

This is Levon's thing.  MMJ will not get any tickets...its all sold through his site and if it says sold out it is...I mean there are only like 200 tickets tops.  All his rambles sell out.  They just got asked to be the opening band...there is really no point in them adversting a sold out show.

Really? You don't think it's good marketing for MMJ to show they are doing a gig with Levon? Why wouldn't they want to express their excitement for doing this gig?

i get what Bold is saying, it is more a ramble thing, but even if it's a one time opening slot, it's still strange. all the other bands that get asked to play (DBT, Jackie Greene, etc) have it advertised on their sites right away..just strange..i mean it's still not up yet TODAY. not so much that they're advertising tickets, but it's an honor to play up there, it should have been noted..that's all we're saying. maybe Jim got to talkin w/Levon after they sang together out west and it happened really fast...still should be mentioned...

it is interesting and i'm super curious as to how this works ... they got a great thing going up there and i can understand having strict frame work set up in order to keep it that way. but yeah, if other bands have at least listed it as part of the 'news' and the honor of doing so .. head scratcher!!

that said .. when i found out about this i flipped out with the "how did i not know" feeling. well apparently no one knew. i wish we had though .. it'd be alot more fun to go up there with all of you instead of hail mary'ing it up there by myself and driving back post-show (b/c renting a car *and* a hotel room are too much for me, myself, and i alone).

and the idea that most of the tickets went to industry folks could be right on. it's 2 nights before the big T5 run .. it could be a quasi kick-off event.

my mom is coming to visit me for a long weekend prior to the ramble. it's going to be gorgeous that time of year and she's always wanted to go to woodstock + i have an old friend that owns a gallery i have yet to visit .. so i think the saturday prior (10/9 i think) i might be up that way. will scope out a potential good restaurant for pre-show if anyone wanted to meet up. one place i do know of .. a little pricey but the red onion is really good.

[pagerage]

total speculation, but in line with the thought of it being bought up by 'music industry people', maybe the band only sent the onsale info out to close friends and family and they bought it up before word ever leaked out.

[oistheone]

I'm not sure if I buy any of these conspiracy theories about who the tickets got bought up by. Levon announces all his Rambles, and they sell -- fast.

i think it's probably a little of both.
i don't think it's a conspiracy or that there's something so wrong w/it, i just think it's odd it's not posted on this site.

[bold99]

I think what people are also forgetting is that Levon Helm, you know the guy in the Band...has fans...that buy tickets...he put out an email and Facebook adverstising another ramble..his fans buy tickets...200 people for Levon is not a lot....which is why they all sell out regardless of the opening band.

I'm don't know for sure but my guess is MMJ had nothing to do with ticket sales...if it was friends and family they probably just come with them and stand just like DBT's crew did..I doubt they get actual seats.
