Jim James and friends at the Rud on June 3rd....

[Kory]

A celebration of the Rud's greatness!
Jim calls the Rud "Louisville's Ryman Auditorium"... Get to Louisville folks, the Rud is small!

i'm there.  This is going to be amazing!  The Rud is a magical place, but as Kory said small.  Damn!  Way to break that story 37flood!

When tickets do go on sale, whats the best way for an out of towner to buy them? Do they use Ticketmaster?

[Kory]

I'm not even sure yet jeffro, I'd assume ticketweb over ticketmaster. They do alot of small venue, big band stuff for the city. I emailed the Rud owners and will see what they say. I'll post back with an answer.

oh, shit!  i have some planning to do now..... ;)

I just got off the phone with a girl from the Rudyard. I asked her about when tickets go on sale and what not. She told me its up to the individual artist as to if they want to sell presale tickets and that if I wanted I could make reservations for dinner and the show and pay at the door that night. All you locals does this sound right? I went ahead and made reservations. Thanks!

Anyone from out of town that hasn't been to the Rud and wants to see just how small it really is can check out our post about a band we saw last night called Murals, there is a link to pictures.
I highly advise checking them out as well.

[Ive got an EVIL plan babe]

The ear X-tacy web page states that all ticket sales are cash only.  That seems to mean that I'm out of luck as an out-of-towner.  Any more info would be great.

[aMD]

Tickets go on sale 10am saturday at Ear Xtacy.  Cash only.  VERY limited number of seats.

I want to come to this show from out-of-state. Is there any incredible person who would let me send them money for two tickets through Pay Pal or check and buy them for me when they go get theirs at ear-x-tacy? I could add some extra $ for you being the most awesome person in the world! ???
I'm coming all the way from TX if I can get two tix, or even just one, so I'd really appreciate any replies!!!! Gotta figure it out and snap up a plane ticket while it's still affordable.
Thanks guys!!!

[katehsmc]

hey jeffro-
i'm sure you've figured this out since the ear-xtacy ticket posting, but apparently this is the one show where they won't be taking reservations. the ONLY way to get a ticket is to buy it with cash from the record store. sucks for us out-of-towners! :(

[Kory]

I hate to say it but they probably aren't taking phone tix orders as the Rud doesn't hold many people at all, seriously even as standing (without the dinner tables) you couldn't fit more than 150 people in that place.

It's a benefit for the Rud and what they'd done for the city of Louisville so I can see how they may limit it to local ticket sales only.

I'm not trying to offend anyone and I'd feel a little left out if I didn't live here, but I didn't live in SF when NYE went down or when Okonokos was filmed...we all feel left out sometimes...

On a side note, Brian, can I borrow your tape deck so I can taped this one? I'll pay for the fedex!

I talked to Brian and he said it was cool. ;)

[aMD]

ear xtacy is the exclusive seller of the tickets.  It is cash only, but all of their ticket sales are.  They are selling 220 tickets for the show.  That seems like a lot for the Rud but that's what they said.

[Kory]

Dylan, how early you getting there? With the Playstation 3/Wii Generation I feel like I should wait in line early or something...

[cmccubbin@work]

we were thinking around 9:30 or 9:45...

surely it won't sell out immediately, will it?

[Kory]

I can't imagine it would so I'll probably do the same. I usually don't go down that way without a camera around my shoulder so if you guys see me standing out front, say hello or something.
