Default Apollo roll call

There are a lot of scattered threads about the Apollo, so I figured I'd start a fresh one to keep things organized. Who's going? If you have a spare, feel free to mention that here as well.

I bought a ticket off someone thanks to a helpful mention on Facebook, so now I'm just anxiously waiting for it in the mail. I didn't even think to ask where the seat is. I'm just excited it was face value!

We will be there, I bought a pair in the lower mezz during the pre-sale.

I was very fortunate to win an additional pair from SiriusXm and am thrilled that I can now repay the kindness to my friends who brought me to the Saturday night show at the Box.

So excited to see him again!

I also won the sirius tickets! I have no idea which section they are in though. My friend is selling a pair of tickets in the Lower Mezzanine Right for $114. Message me if you are interested.

I think she wants $114 each and she got them originally on stubhub for that price. I will see if she will go down a bit on price though. They are row F Lower Mezzanine Right.

Thanks Vere! So glad I was able to help my friends get in to the show. We've been seeing Damo together since 2004

I received an email from SiriusXm... you have to be a subscriber to be eligible. Apparently, there were 10 pair of tickets up for grabs. I was incredibly lucky...

No idea where the seats are yet, they will be assigned the day of the show.

I'll be there too! I was totally OK when I couldn't pull up tickets in the presale or general onsale since I was fortunate enough to have gotten tickets to the other NYC shows. But after being so completely blown away when I finally saw him last month, I decided that if I could somehow pull up a ticket, I'd treat myself to one more show. After a ticket drop was announced (btw, THANK YOU to whomever posted about it) I tried for half an hour to pull up something. Again, I had no luck. I took a break, then decided to try once more before giving up for good...and I pulled up a seat in the lower mezz. Not the best, but I'm just happy that I'll be in the building!

If anyone wants to meet up after, feel free to let me know.

Yes, I'm going to probably hang around after. It's a Saturday night, and we don't have to worry about the tricky alley situation this time.

Anyone going to the Apollo early? I don't know many places around there to hang before the show.

Also does anyone know where the back stage door is? I never been to the Apollo before and it might be in an obvious place, but just want to ask in case it isn't.
