I didn't check out the entire list of venues, but will add that the Asheville Civic Center (despite whatever corporate name it has, will always be Civic Center to me) and Bill Graham Civic in SF both are in the 6000-8000ish rangehendooman wrote:Agreed. I saw Stapleton lat weekend at the Sprint Center, 18-20,000 roughly with the floor.

I swear it was just three or so years ago I saw him play the Bluebird, now the Pepsi Center. That place sucks, but I am still going to go, have to.
No shit, The United Center in Chicago...count me out.
The "arena" in KC he is playing, Independence, MO to be exact is a minor league hockey arena. Perfect at about 6000 seats.

I'm out for SF. Playing bigger venues is one thing, but bigger venues at higher ticket prices tells me he doesn't need my support.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
I can't find any prices, did you see any listed? Tickets prices will probably determine how many shows I go to on the tour.LBRod wrote:I'm out for SF. Playing bigger venues is one thing, but bigger venues at higher ticket prices tells me he doesn't need my support.

Supposedly getting TMs "Fan Protection" from scalpers.
I'll reserve judgment.
DC and Philly venues will be perfect for these shows.

If you look on the civic center website it states prices. 69 for floor, 69 and 99 for seats.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
I have a firm “never return to Bill Graham Civic for anything” policy. Awful venue, especially when they oversell it, which they do all the time. It would take a way stronger show than this to tempt me to consider breaking my vowLBRod wrote:Plus fees.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Looks like some of the arenas will employ seating where parts of the upper arena and area behind the stage won't be sold based on some seating charts I saw on Ticketmaster. Still though, it's a pretty big jump from seeing him at the Summit City in Whitesburg, KY or the Green Lantern in Lexington, KY with less than 100 people there to playing places like Madison Square Garden.Zip City wrote:Holy shit, he’s playing arenas now? When did that happen?
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Most of the venues that I checked didn't have ticket prices yet, but one of the shows I plan to attend, the Louisville tour closer at the KFC Yum Center, had 4 different pricing options: 90.50, 70.50, 50.50 & 30.50. I'm assuming this is without fees and such.walthers wrote:If you look on the civic center website it states prices. 69 for floor, 69 and 99 for seats.

I always respected that Neil charged the least for floor GA, most for the seats closest to the floor, and middle for the upper seats.
it's rock music, stand and deliver.
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
That makes a lot of sense. I do not need a seat. I will stand all night

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
just signed up for the presale. i've had good luck with that before. trying for the Gorge on May 2 as its on a Saturday. Portland on Friday would be tough for friends.
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Anyone have any luck on the resale? I had tickets ready to pay twice and it gave me the "timed out" message. Can't tell you how much I hate ticketmaster. Only 300 level left, Stubhub is flooded with tickets going for twice the face value.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
It was an absolute shitshow. I accidentally added 6 Pit tickets twice, and then couldn't figure out how to quickly remove the latter 6 and couldn't proceed due to the ticket limit. So I lost all those. Then lost a whole shitload of different floor selections until I finally got 3 tickets in 116.walthers wrote:Anyone have any luck on the resale?

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Interesting. I had 4 floor seats, lost them as I stated but then when I went back in it told me 4 tickets exceeded my limit. Tried to by 2 and that left one left for the row and they told me I could not by just two, had to buy three. I tried and it told me I was exceeding the limit again. More work than I am willing do to try and go.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Yeah. I'm gonna try the Sturgill artist "presale" here in 40 minutes to see if maybe they held back any decent seats from the verified fan "presale."walthers wrote:Interesting.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
surprisingly the presale worked well for me. got ADA seats in the second row! spendy but i don't go to many shows nowadays.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
i had good luck with the presale for the Stones too. got the exact seats i wanted & didn't spend a fortune. i wish i wasn't eligible for the ADA seats but it comes in handy at times depending on the venue. i physically can't stand for shows anymore.walthers wrote:Sweet, glad it worked for both of you on the good side of things and not the bots!chuckrh wrote:surprisingly the presale worked well for me. got ADA seats in the second row! spendy but i don't go to many shows nowadays.
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Sorry to hear about not being able to stand, at least the ADA are available, special place in hell for scalpers, let alone ones that take those tickets!
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Got good tix through the artist presale. The verified fan was a shitshow. Expensive but I’d hate to miss him.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
The whole process felt like a disaster on my end, but we came out with a couple tickets for the Nashville and Knoxville shows. I’m not big on Bridgestone Arena, but good for the boys for what’s looking like a monstrous tour.

Sturgill's still playing 1000 capacity rooms in the UK. Got my ticket for the Glasgow show at the end of January yesterday, for about $30.

Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Live Nation is going all out promoting the tour in the US. I saw a TV commercial tonight about the general on sale. Tyler Childers seems to be rocketing up now too. He just played a big theater here & there was a ticket crunch. Looking forward to the show, think Sturgill is going to go for the gusto. Wouldn't be surprised if he did the whole new record. I just watched the anime finally last night. I'm no expert on that but it was pretty good. I certainly like the music plenty. It sure ain't country, haha.
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
Struck out yesterday on the presales, every time I'd try to buy the tickets I wanted, it would say someone else had already purchased them. Held off because I knew there were a few more presales coming up this week, and I finally got 2 good seats for the Lexington, KY show this morning. Holding off on the Louisville show, will probably just buy uppers right before the show.
Re: Sturgill Simpson Thread
A buddy bought extra Minneapolis tickets, so I'm going to buy one off him.
