Lineup begins 8am 5/19.

[sinspots]

Does the orchestra area appear to mean seats and no GA?

[FULLMETAL]

Ascend Amphitheatre is a typical shed-tour venue with 2,300 seats under the roof & 4,500 capacity on the Lawn.

Looking at the Arctic Monkeys tour date, it can be configured for a General Admission PIT but it's unclear if this show will have the same configuration. Regardless, don't buy Lawn tickets thinking that they're General Admission because you will be very far away from the stage.

[Kid A]

$45.00-$150.00 (ouch)

Ascend is a great venue. Just saw Beck there this past Sunday. There's no roof over the seats, fyi. There's a little bit of cover over what is normally the GA pit but that's it. FWIW, if you're at the front of the lawn you still have a great view. This is about 1/3 the size of a traditional "shed."

[thefragile_jake]

I was contemplating going to this one since there's it's on a weekend and would work better for my work schedule ... but Midwest weather during the fall is so unpredictable that I'd hate to get a rain filled show. That's usually not a deal breaker for most, but man ... it's one of my biggest pet peeves.

[Kid A]

Would def be annoyed if it rains after attending the Houston show last December. I've seen 8 or so shows at this venue and have lucked out with weather every time...

I think I may take a chance and just wait for lawn tickets when they go on a possible public sale with this show then. I have considerably less PTO time with my current job than I have had previously and there's so much stuff going on this year ... but I'd still like to be a part of this tour even if I have to take a hit from my original plan of getting a hotel next weekend just to get tickets to the Memphis show.

It sucks, but hopefully at some point they'll be back in St. Louis where I can wait in line a little longer to get better tickets. =/

How many tickets do you need? I could maybe get you some next Saturday?

[thefragile_jake]

How many tickets do you need? I could maybe get you some next Saturday?

Oh man, that would be great ... I think we'd probably just up doing lawn tickets since they'll be cheaper ... but we would need two. I wouldn't want to put that kind of pressure on you though! Let's discuss further and I'll PM ya. :)

Thank you for the offer!

[anduril]

So what will the the procedure for getting tickets? I know you can't line up before 8 (I think), so will there be a line for the line? Or will there just be a mad dash for the box office? Where is parking for the venue?

[Kid A]

Unsure how the line will work but I'm going to probably just park at the Titans' stadium and walk across the pedestrian bridge.

[anduril]

I'm having to get a hotel nearby. I just have a feeling that the line will be madness.

[Kid A]

FYI - there is a marathon downtown tomorrow morning so traffic/parking may be messy. If it's not raining this afternoon I'm going to walk over to the venue and ask them a few questions on my lunch break.

[anduril]

So what time are people starting to get there and where can you park?

[sinspots]

Looking for an extra two tickets if anyone has some available.

[anduril]

So what time are people starting to get there and where can you park?

Nevermind. I think I figured out you can park at the Cumberland park parking lot. I’d still like to know what times people are planning on getting there.

[anduril]

After looking at the venue map I feel a little better. I’m not wanting to get in the pit (too old) so hopefully those seats will go first. Anybody have any idea on how many tickets pit would have?

[thatguymark]

Got up at 4 this morning to make the drive from Birmingham. Looks like I should've left earlier. Grabbed the first parking lot I saw, which was about a 15 minute walk from the venue, so the line was nice and long by the time I got here (about 8:15). I'm guessing pit isn't an option for me. I'm just hoping I don't get stuck in the lawn. Good luck, everybody!

No pop-up shop or merch in Nashville....

[thefragile_jake]

Thank you Kid A for getting our tickets today! Nashville here i come!!!!!!!!!

[Kid A]

How'd you guys do? I wound up getting section 101 row B. I arrived at 8:30.

[blugel]

GA...drove 2.5 hours and got in line around 6:30...

[anduril]

We got there at 6:30-ish and ended up with section 102 row B. I guess a lot of people wanted the pit.

[Kid A]

I'm wondering if there are still the traditional production holds. I know they said all tickets would be available but still...Did anyone land row A? They normally hold those row A section 102 and I've picked them up the day of shows at Ascend before.

This did not sell out, FYI. Confirmed w the venue.

Looks like I'll get a ticket to this show, then. Thanks!

[jhulud]

Going to give online sales today a shot. Will be coming from FL for this hopefully.

[Kid A]

Based off of the fact I was able to cart NYC, DC, and ATL I'd say this one will be a breeze...

Hopefully it will be. Looking to snag three tix. My buddy in Nashville will also be trying.

[thefragile_jake]

Good luck to everyone this morning ... but looks like it's being shown as sold out on my end.

[mostlymad]

Well, I definitely got a ticket to Nashville. All 3 Chicago dates say there are no tickets available. So looks like my first choice was a good one!

[jhulud]

Well. LN sucks ass. But managed to nab a lawn ticket. Fine with me. My buddy nabbed two on his end for him and wife.

[Kid A]

Pit and seats are popping up right now!!!

[redwingsrock]

Yeah, Livenation's website is a fucking shit-show. Managed to get a GA ticket to The Anthem in DC no problem this morning. Was going to get a GA ticket for the Nashville show, but $150.00 is kind of outrageous. Earlier this morning they were showing lawn and everything sold out, so I just called them and got lawn. Should be a good show!

[iamclassic]

Looking for pit seats or close. PM me. Thanks.

[millertd0513]

Anyone up to meet up before the show in Nashville? I'm aiming to be in town about 3:30-ish.

I would. I'm not sure what time I'll be going yet.

[Kid A]

They're releasing seats right now, fyi. Everything from PIT to lawn.

[thefragile_jake]

One week left! Hoping for good weather all weekend!

I wish I could get my hands on any kind of hallucinogen for the concert but first I need to make sure I get there. For the tension tour, I will admit I tripped

No more gofundme links, thanks.

Anyway, I can’t wait for this show. Here’s hoping it’s all deep cuts.

[thefragile_jake]

Man ... the cancellation of the Kentucky festival has me really worried about the weather this weekend. We're driving up from St. Louis and I know it's currently just reporting that there's only a chance of showers in the early morning / early afternoon but I hope it ends up being a nice day / night for the show.

[Sirphobos]

Well.. after the fiasco that is LTL in Louisville, I've found tickets for Nashville... anyone know if they're checking ID's for names on tickets?

I've been checking NOAA daily, and it appears to be at a 20% chance of storms, surrounded by no rain and fairly hot temps. Even the rain they're going to get isn't like it was in Louisville recently. They don't even seem to think there is any chance of flash flooding for the next couple days. As sad as I am to only have one concert to look forward to this week, I'm glad I have that, at least.

We've had a ton of rain here this week. They actually had to cancel Pilgrimage Festival over the weekend. I've always had perfect weather at Ascend shows so let's hope that lucky streak continues! As long as there's no lightning we're good. I cannot stomach another Day for Night repeat...

[jhulud]

Planning so far to fly in Thursday mid-day and tourist it up with friends who live there up to and after the shows on Saturday. I get the feeling I will not want to ever leave.

[Kid A]

Weather looks good now! Bring on Saturday! Also bring on Last, HiS, and TPD please...

Deep cuts. Also, anyone interested in meeting up before the show?

[Sirphobos]

What's the parking like around Ascend? Recommendations?

[Kid A]

Parking can be kind of expensive (~$30) around it. I'd recommend just taking an uber/lyft if you're coming from a hotel in the area.

FYI - you can watch bands soundcheck at Ascend from the back gate...

FYI 2.0 - PIT tickets back up on live nation

[thefragile_jake]

Yes! I am so excited. I hope we get all those and then some ... Into the Void would be fucking incredible.

Also, if you see a bald, bearded guy with glasses wearing a black Further Down the Spiral shirt on Saturday ... feel free to say hi! :)

Sadly, I am not staying in a hotel. In for the show from Indiana and back out. Gonna be a long night of driving.

I'm so fucking psyched, though. After LTL was cancelled I didn't think I could make this show.

[BrknMchine]

Hi!

Just moved to Nashville a couple months ago (from Atlanta) so I'll be going solo (have tix in the PIT)... if anyone wants to meet up prior to the show (or during) give me a shout!

Might have to dust off the ol' 94-95 Self Destruct tour long sleeve for this one... thank goodness for cooler temps!!

So stoked to see what this setlist will be!

[eachwishrezigned]

I have a pit ticket for sale at cost ($150) if anyone wants it. I’m going but my husband doesn’t really want to, so I can meet you nearby.

Parking across from Ascend is $20 in the one garage. We always just pick that one for convenience.

[sweeterthan]

Anyone else wake up at 5am and start making setlist wishes?

*shes gone away*

Worked overnight, and my playlist was nothing but NIN. Time to try to nap and then head on down the road.

[m0reta]

Ready for another excellent night!!
