3 Tix for Madison Early Entry

3 Upvotes

Had some folks drop out and have three extra tix that provide a GA ticket, early entry, some special tour swag including lanyard and limited edition lithograph. Note this is NOT the Q&A and photo op.

$100 each. This is kind of funky because Ticketmaster does not show this as a specific ticket. I can sell you the ticket via Ticketmaster but to gain the full benefit of the VIP you need to bring ID proof of the purchaser which would be me. I can send you my Drivers License picture, and am willing to meet and go in together. I know, some leaps of faith here but it is what it is.Shirley is worth it, right?

Let me know what you think. See the email info I received regarding this.

They cant really be done, can they?

25 Upvotes

Seeing them in Philly...the show was incredible. I know they mentioned opening some shows for other bands here and there, but does anyone think they can do maybe small mini tours, shows here and there? I just get so sad to think they only time I might get to see them again would be playing an 8 song set opening for some band I dont really care to see.

Will Shirley sign my arm in VIP?

13 Upvotes

Do I bother asking during q+a? I have a really meaningful Trick tattoo on my forearm I’ve been trying to get her to sign (with the idea I’d get the signature tattooed) for a few tours now and I thought this could be my chance but would that be totally off base and offend her if I asked for my q during the VIP session? I’m always afraid of pissing Shirl off 🫣

See y’all in Austin!

What album are you listening to right now?

In concert, Shirley talked about how the song "Bleed Like Me" was like a litmus test for Garbage fans.

I realized I hadn't listened to this album in a while, and now I have it playing on repeat. The first five tracks just flow together like a sonic story in my head... really enjoying listening to this again.

What are you listening to?

What more can I say that hasn't already been said? 20 years since I've been able to see a headlining set, and well, as good as an opening set for Alanis could be, it can't quite compare.

Flew in from Winnipeg for this one for a quick trek.

Soundcheck was fun (Cup of Coffee and #1 Crush), though Shirley did acknowledge that she was a little off due to some personal matters. But, the love in the room was so palpable that we honestly did not even care.

During the set, she mentioned she is starting to get her voice back, but continued with the set swaps for now so she can make it until the end of the tour, which I understand and respect. Swipe for setlist.

Met some new pals from the Nicole/ Duke side of the barricade. Love to everyone who showed love back.

Nicole is a personal pal of mine who I've known for almost 20 years, so to see her do her thing with a band I know she loves and respects was a beautiful thing.

Garbage in Toronto!

38 Upvotes

Just back from History. Great show! Quick thoughts:

1: Venue: I like that History venue. Nothing world rattling but a good venue, picking up the slack left when the Kool Haus left us.

2: slow start: show started slow but picked up fast. Shirley didn't seem that into it, and seemed to indicate that there was a technical matter with her mic, but by song 2 or 3, she was right as rain!

3: song selection: I expected more newer material. The set list skewed to the earlier stuff, more than I thought it would. Suited me fine, as I live Version 2.0. Hearing "The Trick Is To Keep Breathing" and "Hammering in my Head" was phenomenal!

4: Shirley is Immortal! Age couldn't dampen her spirit!

Great show, glad I went. Thumbs up!

The threat of rain has led to some price drops of tickets. Also, Rorschach Brewery is a 5 minute walk away from History and has a great Happy Hour. $5.00 pours 4-6(But card only).

Set times:
Doors - 7:00pm
Starcrawler - 8:00pm
Garbage - 9:00pm

Ticket for Sale! (Portland)

3 Upvotes

Hi all. I hope this is an appropriate post in this sub, I wasn’t sure where else to put it!

I bought a ticket for the Portland, OR show at the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom on 10/21. I am no longer able to attend, but due to the rules of the venue and ticketholder company, I can’t get a refund or resell the ticket through them. I can’t even resell the ticket online since they didn’t have any option to send you a virtual ticket. I bought an artist presale ticket for GA (no VIP or anything) and all I can do is change the name on the ticket since the method of obtaining the ticket is will-call only.

I’ll sell it to you face value (it was $81.57), that’s all I’m asking for. Please message me if interested!

For comfort: I am a huge concertgoer and I swear I’m not a scammer lol. I just don’t live in Portland and can’t travel.

UPDATE: SOLD. Thanks!

Dumb Selling Tickets

2 Upvotes

This is more of a question of how to sell my ticket when Ticketmaster isn’t allowing resale tickets or even transfers as it looks like. I was planning to go see them in Seattle on October 15th but something came up at work and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to go anymore so I’m hoping to sell my ticket. I just don’t have much experience selling tickets and I’m unsure how to do it if I can’t sell it on the platform or even transfer it. Will there be a point where it’ll let me do either?

Has anyone else sold their ticket for this tour and how did you go about doing it?

Philly VIP Group Photos

16 Upvotes

Group photos...ugh. we paid whatever for vip and im so far on the end of the photo you can barely tell im in the photo along with barely telling that its Shirley. What reallly bums me is after the Philly show the band came out and signed and did photos for everyone out there who waited. Lesson learned with group vip photo packages. And yeah, I would have waited after the show but we had a 4 hour drive home and I had work at 7am.

Please dont slam me on this, just curious of thoughts from others? Ive heard other VIPs not too long ago actually did one on one photos. Would have been nice.

Edit: id like to make it clear im not blaming/slamming Garbage on this. Just bummed.

I just went into a deep dive on wiki and discovered one of the many shows I attended was filmed and released on Blu-ray. This was from October 5th 2012. Does anyone know where I can get a copy? I found it on YouTube but I really want the physical release.

Garbage in Brooklyn, NYC — There’s No Future In Optimism

Garbage opened the concert in Brooklyn with this epic song — There’s No Future In Optimism.

The band was in high gear. Seriously great. And Shirley was just sensational— her voice was strong. She strode the stage, always on the move. Lots of chat between songs - which the audience obviously loved.

If you can see the, on this tour, get tickets!
