Maybe Linqua Franqa is a big draw in Athens.

I had gotten on Friday afternoon, so was able to get all 3 nights. Looking forward to HeAthens Homecoming 2019!

After hearing from Schlanky that Saturday show had sold out, I checked StubHub just to see if they had tickets for the show. There are indeed Saturday night tickets on StubHub, for $280.
As has been discussed here, it is a good thing for the band that the Homecoming shows are so popular. I do hate that the markup on the resell tix is so high.

I would be unsurprised if there were speculation at work, driving the price up artificially. Here's to them losing their asses on it!

I am quite sure there is speculation at work. I just hope that the true fans can get tix at a fair price.

overlooking the factor of "who didn't get tickets", it seems like veterans of Homecoming did get Saturday night tickets, so this is shaping up as a 500-person fan cub show...

More like 500+ lol. That venue is always a lot more sold out on Saturday than it is when sold out the other nights...

They do seem to play fast & loose with the Georgia fire occupancy codes at times.

Got online at my Mom's place in Florida (Visiting for her birthday. Stress texting madly with Uncle Rickey). Got the 4-day pass. Thrilled to death. (Or just short of it). Staying with Uncle Rickey and Cooley Girl, most excellent travelling companions, close by the 40 Watt. Gonna visit a dear, Inner-Circle Hall of Fame friend in Atlanta on the 11th & 12th, and then get a ride to Athens. (Of course thanks to Ms. Wordman, who, in the course of one of those great, deep conversations you're lucky to have with a partner, said "I get it; I know why you NEED to go: The Drive-By Truckers are your spiritual practice." My wife, she knows me...

Last year was SUCH a peak experience. To get a chance to match (or exceed) it is amazing. I can't wait to see all you Heathens, my second family...

Randy was taking one for the team so the rest of us could get our shirts. You remember the shirts, right?

Rod doth speaketh the truth. While I was keeping Clams all occupied listening to BOC (Secret Treaties) & slurping his Jameson, the shirts were being distributed. Of course my taking it for the team meant I not only face slapped the 40 Watt floor; but also got splinters in my fingers later that night. Believe you me I was blaming Clams all the way up & down that fucking hill.

Hi bubba, I guess I’m on the mend, but my on the mend still seems like general decline anymore. Hopefully, I’ll be all peachy keen by the time HC rolls around.

From what I've seen, Stubhub homecoming prices come down dramatically in the last couple days if you can wait that long.

Selling out Saturday quickly -- good for them. Changing the nature and dynamics of homecoming weekend? Not even close.

Looking forward to picking up our conversations from last year!

Damn looks like Friday is SOLD OUT now too. I hopped on this too late. Got my Wed/Thurs tickets though. Probably too early for this, but if anyone has an extra for Friday OR Saturday, holler. I live in Athens so I'm flexible about my plans
