Wilco sold out in less than 1 hour? Son of a...
...beyotch!
I hate Ticketmaster to begin with, now I hate them even more. I was primed to buy 8 seats at the Tower (Philly) for the Feb. 23rd show. I had my browser set just before 10AM but, when I tried to locate tickets, I kept getting 'nothing available', over and over again. I did notice a spot to place my "American Express Gold" information. One problem though, I don't have an Am Ex card, so I was s.o.o.l.
I finally called Ticketmaster and, after hitting redial about 50 times, got through and was poised to place my order but was put on hold for about 10 minutes. When a very nice woman did answer, she told me no tickets were available. She sounded a bit disconcerted, so I think if I were an "American Express Gold" customer, she could have sold me tickets. What a sham. I checked their other shows and there is nothing else anywhere close to me, so I guess I'm screwed. I did see them a couple years ago, but I really wanted to see this show. To say I'm ticked is putting it mildly.

If any of Wilco's music is good? Seriously?

Dude, yer killin' me! What rock have you been hiding under? Ok, I calmed down now. This is probably my favorite band of the last 10 years or so. Do you think they would sell out a venue like the Tower in Philly in less than one hour if they weren't? The Tower isn't huge, but it's not small either.

Go see them and enjoy. If you don't like the show, I'll refund your ticket price.

Oh, you're near Cleveland? Forget it. Sold out....

...along with 7 others on the first leg of the tour, and I would expect the rest will follow. You don't know what you're missing my friend.

I going to owe you big time for this...

...because I don't have it. I'll have to take some time to come up with a few surprises for you soon.
