Yes UM’s popularity has declined
32 min baby Beluga. Shit was fucking legend
My first show was Ozzy in 1986 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX.
The opening act was an obscure band called Metallica
Does anyone think it is odd Umphrey’s is playing the Vic in Chicago? Like were the Riv and Aragon booked already? You’d think with how few shows they play in Chicago these days they could sell more than 1,000 tickets. It’s not like the Vic is anything special. I’m going to try to get some tomorrow when they go on sale via AXS but no clue if I should try for one or more…I’d like to hook a friend or two up if possible. I get trying to guarantee demand and sell out your pre-party and late night options (like playing the Variety in Atlanta) but they could have picked a venue more accessible for fans. There is probably some valid reason for choosing the Vic but as the thread title goes, what if they were worried about not selling out the Riv for a pre-party so they went with a sure thing less than half the size with the Vic?
you must be bored
I am brah. I also very anxious as I blew through my Adderall script this month and have to wait like two weeks to get it refilled.
probably shouldn’t do that again
also, the vic is one of the easiest venues in the city to get to, how is that inaccessible for fans? (rhetorical)
Yeah brah, slow down on that legal speed.
This is all over the place lol. Yes, to create demand. It’s very accessible for fans. The riv and Aragon are in a dogshit part of the city.
To be transparent, my “wife” takes 15mg of my script daily instead of getting her own so I share it with her which is half the reason it is gone. The other half is I’ve been taking 60mg instead of 45mg daily. So yes, I am looking forward to having a mandated by recklessness break to lower my tolerance so I can go back to taking 30mg a day.
And the Vic is inaccessible as far as capacity goes - 1,000 tickets to a show where the band used to be based is asking for a tough ticket which is if this were their goal then more power to them I just think they could have played a bigger space and let anyone go who wants to hit the pre-party.
it’s literally billed as an intimate show and the festival books pre/post parties. aren’t you like a super wook? that’s like rookie level information.
Dude I’m just complaining that I’m not sure if I should just look out for me and try to grab one ticket tomorrow or if I should go for more than one so I can hook up a friend or two that wasn’t trying but would go if I gave them a ticket. I guess it is a first world problem for sure but it is annoying that I’ve got to worry about getting tickets to this show tomorrow.
They won’t sell out the Aragon on a Thursday and the Riv sucks big time.
this probably won’t even sell out as fast as they think.
my advice would be to find friends that don’t go to umphreys shows. problem solved.
Good point brah. I’m trying to bring a coworker though since we should be in town that weekend for work. And if I get another ticket I can convince an on the fence friend for Sacred Rose Umphrey’s to come down for Umphrey’s x 2 in three days. I need like 3-4 tickets. You use CashApp or Zelle brah? How about you try for me tomorrow too?
I assume them playing the vic has more to do with just how the festival mapped out their after parties more than anything else.
sorry sir i would never support someone seeing a jam band. good luck tho i guess.
This will sell out quickly. Has been a while since they played Chicago.
coward
Low chances I end up going, but I might try and snag a couple tickets tomorrow since I’m sure I’ll know someone looking.
