Chicago 4/14
 
Who else got their tickets for the show on April 14th in Chicago?

I'm in the front center balcony, because that's the best that I could get to come up for me upon multiple refreshes of the page. What seats and sections does everyone else have? Can't wait to see Damien again in April! :hello2:

I got ORCH R Row F Seat 110, soooo excited!!!!! I think i'm gonna hit the Indianapolis one the day before as well. Anyone else?

I would love to go to this show, but we're having to miss out on the presale (and probably the regular on sale, ugh) due to man this was just awful timing financially and way short notice. :(

That said, I imagine we might try to get tickets if any are left over on sale for either this show or Mpls or Indy, or if we're able to find any being re-sold later when we have the cash.

To everybody who already got tickets though: muchos congrats and I hope you have a blast!!! :)

I think you'll have better luck getting seats for the Indianapolis show. I believe there's another Ticketmaster presale later today. Not sure if you need a code, but you should try that.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to buy any tickets for a little bit--I haven't been getting a lot of hours at work the past few weeks and things are kind of snug after having to drive to Chicago twice for Damo :(

We'll see what's available when the time comes---seeing so many generous folks having tickets available at the last minute for the smaller shows makes me feel like we might not have trouble finding tickets for the larger shows if it turns out it's convenient to go!

Shillelagh 11-21-2014 06:14 PM

You should wait to spend a lot of coin on stub anyway. These are not selling out and I think the secondary market will be a buyers one. The auditorium was a little too big for David Gray this might be tough for Damo to fill.

Jam released some more tickets today and I was able to pick up a pair. Excited to see him again!

JSteggs 04-14-2015 03:14 PM

So who's going tonight/excited?

jeffbrownmusic 04-14-2015 03:37 PM

Absolutely going, and always excited to see him live! I'm ORCHLC row X, 404. Now quite the 3rd row I managed for the Athenaeum, but happy to be there nevertheless.

bluebeagle 04-14-2015 04:01 PM

Ill be there of course! Can't wait!!!

JSteggs 04-14-2015 06:25 PM

Do any of you have any experience seat hopping closer to the stage? My seats are pretty bad. Borneoman said something about looking on stubhub to see what seats are available. The tickets on stubhub for this concert just list the row letters.

borneoman 04-14-2015 06:49 PM

stub hub sometimes lists the seat, sometimes the row... but itīs enough... just check if thereīs something in the first rows... for instance in Toronto it was saying 2 seats in the front row-right, 2 seats in the second row-left... we went to the front row just before the opener, and boom, all seats were taken except two, so it was obvious which ones were not sold :D but even without stubhup, itīs easy to see, just check the first rows a few minutes before Damo is supposed to start... if someone has seats, itīs already sitting there, if there are empty seats, the seat has not been sold...
and if it doesīt work, you can always return to your seat, no problem

Called this.

Shillelagh 04-14-2015 06:56 PM

I'll be there. First row all the way to the right. Look for the brown velvet sport coat and owl belt!

JSteggs 04-14-2015 07:07 PM

Nice! Thanks for the advice. Myself and three friends hopefully will be able to find something towards the front. I'll be wearing a red flannel and jeans. I'm so excited. I was at the October 13th show that he had to leave early because of his ear infection and I couldn't go to his reschedule on November 14 because I had my own orchestra concert.

bluebeagle 04-14-2015 07:58 PM

Ya I'll he checking on open Stub Hub seats as well. My boyfriend and I have seperate seats so hopefully we can find something to sit next to eachother. Anyone plan on waiting after the show???

verenita 04-14-2015 08:24 PM

enjoy you guys!

JSteggs 04-14-2015 09:11 PM

Thanks Verenita! I just hope my orchestra director isn't too pissed at me for skipping rehearsal... :smiley24:

Marti you really took my stubhub trick and ran with it. Good job! :icon_pray

JSteggs 04-15-2015 12:22 AM

So how do we get past the ushers to find open seats closer up?

Shillelagh 04-15-2015 01:42 AM

Who is the bald Icelandic guy that helped record the new album with Damien? He and whirl were the openers. Kinda strange. Kinda good. Very arty.

He did cheers on the electric after he chugged his wine.

Standing outside now. Hoping for an after show. Feel like a goon.

Say hi for me :)
Nice pics.
I can't wait to hear the electric guitar!
(I haven't been watching the videos or listening to the recordings. I think I want to see it live first)

Shillelagh 04-15-2015 04:44 AM

Good call. Did the same. Haven't listened for a few weeks in prep. Blown away. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bring a tear to my eye a few times.

carrroline 04-15-2015 05:05 AM

No one gets out of a damien gig without tearing up at some point :)
