Some people get Thursday presale sold out when they click on Sat night tix order. Just click on Home on that page and it will take you to where you can chose Sat night and it has worked great for everyone so far.brett27295 wrote:They fixed the presale for Saturday.

I just want to stay in that better time and place....

Well, at least I don't have to worry about getting a ticket for the third night. If anyone ended up with extras for the first two which they'd rather sell than get refunds on, let me know and we'll work it out.

Well, last time they did a pretty good job at holding me back at Newark. They also confiscated all my Norwegian booze. Can't reveal any details, but I am opting for a different route this time around.Flea wrote:beantownbubba wrote:Hmmmm.

Flight tickets booked, though.
They damn well better be screening for lutefisk!

No. I wore my "I Blame Clams" shirt all afternoon to remind me who's damn fault it was I didn't get Night 3 tickets at 12:00.Clams wrote: This means I'm off the hook, right?

In for Nights 2 and 3, already had tickets to see Wilco in ATL on Night 1. If you'd asked me my dream line-up for the Homecoming shows, having Will Johnson, Dave Marr, and Five-Eight as the openers would have been it.

So true! UR, OBL, PA Heathen and the mister are coming in on 2/6 and are sharing a vacation condo this year.Gaetzi wrote:Be warned, sactochris.. It's not just something you can do once and check it off the list. Every year you'll have a better time and find yourself extending the trip. As you get to know more of the 3DD crew, as you get to know Athens better and have some bars/restaurants that you must hit, as DBT continue to just dominate the 40 Watt every night, etc.. The draw, nay, enchantment of the Homecoming run is a real and powerful thing.
For those of you coming in on Monday, don't miss out on this little gem, that Cole announced:
"It is my distinct pleasure to announce.... The UNOFFICIAL, SELF TITLED, Kickoff to Drive-By Truckers Homecoming Weekend with Classic City Wrestling on Monday, February 8, 2014 at Flicker Bar!!! Book your calendars, book your flights because it will be CCW at its finest with fans from all over the world in attendance. Show starts at 9 PM... Admission is always FREE. Rock on!
MORE DETAILS TO COME!!"

Well, that's done - Saturday ticket purchased. Interesting that it was cheaper than buying tix for the other nites through the "fan club" pre sale.
Which got me to thinking about the remarkable economic impact of homecoming. All I can do is guess as to specific numbers and only some of those guesses would be educated, so let's just say that it's pretty clear that not counting ticket sales & fees, merch or money raised for nuci's space, homecoming generates well into six figures of revenue, all of which goes to people other than the band. Seems like there ought to be a way(s) for the band to get a piece of that, potentially a piece big enough to be real money.

Tickets purchased for all three nights. I can taste those Little Italy slices and Terrapin beers already. We're flying down early Wednesday to get settled in. Looking forward to getting back down to Athens and seeing everyone.
We may ritz it up and go to the Courtyard this time around.........

I'm going to guess the 40 Watt pays a premium to get three nights of a guaranteed hard-drinking crowd in the door. The weekend is probably good business all the time, but that Thursday is likely big money for them. The rest? It probably buys peace in the valley.beantownbubba wrote:Well, that's done - Saturday ticket purchased.

In for all three nights for my 2nd Homecoming.
And hopefully have a great friend who I grew up with but don't see nearly enough these days talked into going as well.

Grrrr. Can't get that ticket-fly site to accept any of my credit cards. I appears to be some problem with the payment/billing information registered on my card.

Apparently the city registered in my billing information contains the Norwegian letter 'æ', which appears to not be recognized by the ticketfly form. Have contacted ticketfly support via email. Hopefully there is a work-around.RolanK wrote:Grrrr. Can't get that ticket-fly site to accept any of my credit cards.
