New Nightwish date in Atlanta

[Nightmare1z]

Well, the new date is up on ticketmaster, and tickets go on sale TOMORROW (2/10) for $20.

It's at the Masquerade...

I'm just thankful it's not happening during ProgPower, now we have 3 days of killer music. Still, I guess the preparty's going to have some problems...

Just giving a heads up! Make sure you check ticketmaster regularly, since they're showing some of the new dates already, and they keep adding.

 

[Ruthven]

Wow, that's...odd.

Too bad the additional dates would likely rule out Tarot for ProgPower.

 

[Dark One]

As an FYI, Glenn is seeing what he can do to have the show moved from the Masquerade to Earthlink Live. The show is scheduled for 09/15/05, the night of the Pre-party.

 

[Nightmare1z]

Yes, but if tickets go on sale tomorrow? Should we buy or wait? Big chance since the 15th it will sell out since PP crowd will be there

 

[Dark One]

I guess if the tickets actually do go on sale, there may be little that can be done about it. If Glenn can work something out, I'm assuming the ticket sale would be curtailed or something.

 

[Harvester]

If that date and venue sticks, there will be no pre-party this year. It would be foolish to go head to head with that show.

It sucks because The Masquerade is a shitty place, especially compared to Earthlink. Plus, there is no public transportation to there.

Based on the number of tickets pre-sold at the Masquerade, I wouldn't worry about a sell-out just yet.

[Dark One]

Man oh man, that would REALLY suck. Glenn are you still in discussions/waiting to hear back mode? That just seems like a bad idea for all parties involved (except the Masquerade I guess).

 

[Harvester]

I'm doing what I can, but I'm not holding my breath. I have another phone call schedule in about 20 minutes. If I can get in touch with Nightwish's manager, then I could have some pull. No luck yet.

How can you Pre -buy tickets?

I'll go over there right now and get them if I can.

I was referring to the number of tickets sold for the original April date as told to me by the booking agent.

Were they ever put up on Ticketmaster? I never checked.

[Nightmare1z]

No, they were never put up on Ticketmaster for the April date

 

[Se7enChurches]

How can you Pre -buy tickets?

during the day you can usually walk right in the front door, and they have an office straight ahead underneath the big wooden stairs that someone should be in to sell you tickets.

Glenn H.

Shit, I totally forgot that they would honor the original tickets sold for the April date, that definitely complicates the matter.

 

[ReaLM]

So, I just got off the phone with the Masquerade asking about buying tickets, and I got told to call back Friday!

So are we sure the ticket master website is correct?

I agree the preparty should not compete with the show, if it goes on, but why not move the preparty to Wed? I'm sure plenty would come.

 

[Harvester]

Please do not call the Masquerade until tomorrow. The more publicity you bring to their attention, then lesser the chance I have of moving it to Earthlink within the short time I have available. If I don't post something here by 1000 tomorrow, then can safely assume that I did not get the show and there will be no pre-party.

Four straight days of shows is a bit too much. I worry about crowd fatigue come Saturday night. We always come in on Wed and just relax and catch up on things while listening to some tunes and having a few beers.

I think that would be an awesome Pre Party and we could all meet up before and after anyways, even if it doesn't get moved from the Masquerade.

How big is the Masquerade venue? If it sells out but a lot of would-be pre-party attendees can't get tickets, it might still make sense to have the pre-party.
