i dont think you'll have a problem getting tickets, roll call or general sale.
Need to grab a ticket for this show. Not sure if I can convince friends to go but I'll be attending if I can get one.
Anyone know what this is about?
TICKETS WILL BE MAILED TO BUYERS FOR THIS SHOW DUE TO NEW YORK STATE LAW
First time i've noticed that when buying/looking at tix.
Can anyone hook up 2 tickets to this show??
My GF and I are huge fans and would love to see this show.
Can paypal IMMEDIATELY!

Look into Lord Huron as well. The Sat after Jim.
Cool, young band.
Cited MMJ as a big influence on them.
$15.
I can't swing this, so I really hope this isn't his only full show in NY...
What did they have 4 tix available? While I don't think it will sell out generally, presale appears sold out.
EDIT: they're now on sale, but not sure it's worth it with the $6 shipping charge. May just wait for the general onsale.
SOLD out already? for roll call?
come on man
Got tix!
Shipping was $10 UPS and $6 for Post Parcel???

Yo yo yo
You going to this show?
wow...it sold out that quickly? i was able to snag a pair, thankfully. definitely reminds me of the 10 club. good luck to everyone who got shut out.
no, Too far for me. If it was on a friday or saturday night possibly. I couldn't even get phily tix. sold out in seconds seems like.
Got my one ticket. Couldn't have been easier. Roll Call success!
Ouch....didn't realize so many were shut out.
I'm guessing it's the same deal as the Port Chester shows in that they only had a limited amount for pre-sale.
if anybody can't pull roll call tickets, the general sale should be a breeze. last time jim came through to music hall of williamsburg with the DMM and ben sollee i don't think the show was sold out.
I got shut out. :embarrassed:

Same here for the Philly show. Hoping it's just another case of not many presale tix being made available. If this was the normal 8-10% being given to the artists presale, then there probably wasn't many, and I'm sure we'll be able to get tix at the general sale. Similar to the PC 3-packs.
I don't know the capacity for the Music Hall in Williamsburg, but it was posted that the Philly venue only holds 200-225. :shocked:
MHOW capacity is 550. MMJ played there in 2002 when it was known as the Northsix.

Nah Jeff, gonna have to pass on that one. I'm going to try and make the Philly show, and even that will be tough being a weeknight, and also doing the McKitrick show later that week.
I also tried for Philly and got nada.

Absolutely! It can't come soon enough for me.
The shows being in NYC always gives us great places to have pre/post show meetups. :beer: hopefully we'll find someplace as good but,it's going to be hard to top Porta pre-Asbury for eats though. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Headhunter aka Mayor of the Forum - are you doing the three night swoop in NYC?
general sale is live for those who didnt get tix for Roll Call - http://www.musichallofwilliamsburg.com/event/211383 (http://www.musichallofwilliamsburg.com/event/211383)
SOLD out realllly quick
wow
yep, all sold out. can't go that night, but pulled one ticket at 12 and threw it back. then a couple minutes later they are all gone. hope some people got tickets
I got shut out!!! :cry:
Can anyone help me out with one ticket?
Got shut out too. Would really appreciate 1 or 2 tickets, please let me know
jeff got shut out? whaaa?!! THIS WILL NOT STAND :undecided:
i am kind'a shocked it sold out so fast. congrats to JJ i guess :thumbsup: i'll keep my ear to the ground you guys, we will find you one !!!!!!!!
I knew I should have bought 2 during the pre-sale instead of just 1. Really hope I don't see these being scalped on Craigslist or Stubhub for high prices
really surprised this sold out so fast.
Already, up on Stub Hub for $80 too, unbelievable. Please 1 or 2 tickets would be greatly appreciated.
What the hell? Tix went faaaast! Got one. Tried for two, got denied, went back to try for one & apparently lucked out... Very hard to believe that this is sold out for real. Anyone who didn't get tix, keep trying. There's always a chance that people will "time out", or credit cards get denied or whatever. I'll keep checking back as well.
I had no luck either. Never would of thought they would sell out in 10 minutes :shocked:

Can't believe how fast both roll call and ticketmaster sales went!
Not positive I can go to the Sleep No More Show yet, but I have a ticket.
Looking to make some sort of exchange for a Brooklyn ticket if anyone has an extra and wants to go to the Sleep No More show. I called and they said you can change the name on the reservation.

you go to MHOW or Mercury Lounge? i've seen some shady looking scalpers getting tix at ML before.
I scored one during pre-sale, super lucky. If I hear anything about tickets, i'll let ye know.

Mercury Lounge.
Got on line at 1145. 2 people in front. nonscalpers.
Got to the counter around 12:05 as the lady was a few minutes late. Was nervous they were sold out because I couldn't pull anything on my phone while I waited.
Not sure if they hold a certain number for box office sales though.
Ugh, I'm away on vacation and totally lost track that tickets went on sales today. If anyone has two extra by chance, I'll but them. Thanks! :beer:
I'm still totally aggravated about this......anyone think it's because TicketBastard was involved?

YES!! No doubt ticket agencies and robo-purchasing was involved. No way fans buy and put on stub hub right away.

Yes, Trish, it has to do with Ticketmaster being involved in a way, due to the fact that with ticket buying over the internet, anyone anywhere in the world has an equal shot at getting tickets. Thus, for any high demand event, there are lots of couch scalpers, not to mention professional scalpers with bot programs that punch through orders much faster than humans can.
Makes me miss the days when you could wait out in line at ticket outlets. I appreciate the convenience of online ticket buying, and I do sometimes buy tickets for shows not in my local area, but it seems wrong with today's system, people local to a show have no priority for getting tickets to shows in their area.
Now, for anything that will sell out instantly, it's just the random luck of whose orders get through the system. This current system doesn't allow for people who really want the tickets to be able to put out the effort to ensure they get them, and that sucks.

Anytime tix are gone in a flash, my suspicions about TicketBastard are raised. This time however I wouldn't put the whole blame on them. I'm sure they played their usual part, but I really think the small amount of tix available played a part too.
We had a similar thing with the Philly tix, and that was through TicketFly. Tix were gone before the clock hit 12:01. I was online,and the phone. Had a phone rep no more than 30 seconds after twelve, and all the tix were in carts. By 12:01 they were gone. I know someone who scored a few minutes later online, but we both think they just timed it right with someone who either had tix, and timed out, or their card was denied. I know I kept trying for about 15 minutes in case something like that happened,but no such luck for me.

Eric, that's why I wish sometimes that for really high demand shows like this there is some kind of priority given to people in the local area. With such a small amount of tickets available, giving local people priority would at least curtail some degree of scalping involved. Some people travel for shows, but most are from the local area and it's not really fair that people anywhere have an equal shot at tickets.
Making the tickets will call only also helps, in that people can't buy them with the intent of selling them. Will call/paperless tickets have their own hassles, but as a whole I think are desirable for very high demand situations due to how well they curb scalping. Without the will call thing, there really is no way to ensure the person that buys the tickets is the one that will actually use them.

I agree Jon. I'm not a big fan of will call only, except with this type of limited ticket show. Keep them in the hands of the real fans who definitely want to go.
The paperless system would work well too, as long as they enforced the part where you need to show ID, and have it match the name on the credit card used for purchase. If it's just show the card, get it scanned, and you're in, that leaves too much room for scalpers to weasel their way in. Prepaid, and gift cards don't have a name on them, and are easily passed on.
The McKitrick show seems like a great example of how to do a show with limited tickets. Pay for a "reservation", have your name on the list, show up at a certain time with ID, and you're in. They keep it in house with no need for Ticketmaster, and while I'm sure scalpers could figure out a way to make some $$$ if they wanted, I'm not sure it's worth their hassle. I'm curious to see how their entrance policy actually works for McKitrick. If it goes the way I think it will, perhaps a lesson could be learned from them.
I haven't caught up on all the posts above... I just have one thing to say:
I NEED A TICKET!!
My friend was unable to jump through all the hurdles that Ground ctrl and then Ticketmaster put in front of him.
Please message me if you have an extra.
Tom
I just broke down and bought a ticket on Stub Hub. Never had to do that for a JJ or MMJ show before.
Sad that it came to that but I NEED to be there and it seems that not too many folks on the forum got tix. I doubt many of you have any extras.
Well now that this is behind me, PSYCHED FOR JIM IN BROOKLYN!!
ericm, I think you are spot on with how a small venue should handle ticket sales. While it felt a bit silly to "make a reservation" for the McKit show, it also made me triple check that I could definitely make that show, as tix are non-transferable (and especially with that price tag!). The guest list format is also employed for Midnight Rambles, and The Barn is a very small, intimate venue (which I highly recommend to all). No physical tix. The purchaser's name is on a list and you have to show ID, which has to match the name on the list, to gain entry... Super simple yet very effective. It sucks, quite frankly, that both the Brooklyn and Philly shows weren't sold this way, as both venues are small enough, in my opinion, to utilize this method. I'm appalled at the number of tix now up for sale (at profit) on Stubhub and the likes.
And having said that, headhunter, I hope you got a nice price. See you on the rail :cool:
i *MIGHT* have an extra ticket available. i got two off the roll call, my buddy who normally comes with me can't make it, my other friend who is usually reliable to come to shows with says she might have her best friends bday party that night. so if she can't make it, i'll be able to get rid of one. just asking face value, nothing over.
if this happens, i would DEFINITELY be interested!!!!! Thank you for your consideration!
