ISO: Damien Rice - Chicago

given2fly23

I'm looking for 2 or 4 tickets for the rescheduled Damien Rice show in Chicago, if anyone has extras or can't make it.

Thanks!

Really hope someone comes through for you! I'm counting down the days until Toronto's show.

Has the rescheduled show been announced yet? We didn't get tickets to the show as we had a prior thing going on that night, but I really need to see this show

Answered my own question. The Vic in Chicago. Nov. 14th. Online places have people selling GA tickets for over $200. Guess I'll wait for another time as that is ridiculous.

Yeah, prices are crazy and I refuse to pay scalpers. Like you said, next time.

So bad... I wish you could find a fair priced ticket because you can't miss it.
Saw him yesterday night and it was f-ing awesome. He played for almost 2 hours, it was just him with his guitar (plus one song at the piano) and three - and I mean three - lights.
IMO he's got one of the most amazing voices on Earth.
He definitely suprised me by interacting a lot with the audience (7 yrs ago I barely remember him saying "Thank you").
New songs seem "ok" compared to O and 9 (but honestly... anything should be compared to O, shouldn't it? ), I'm waiting for listening the whole album before the verdict.

Thanks, I hope so too. I Dont Want to Change You is amazing, IMO.

Agreed. And the video? Gorgeous! Here's hoping the fact it's GA works in your favour, and the prices go down over time (since all tickets have literally equal value). Our show in Toronto is seated, which is strange because I've seen a GA show at the venue.

The GA show in Chicago is seated. Sounds like a first-come first-serve type of seating. My take on it is they had all these assigned seats for the original show but didn't have time to mess around with assigning new seats or something, I doubt the ticket prices will come down. This was a sold out show to begin with so it isn't like they offered a resale. They may release some tickets the day of or something.

Gotcha... didn't realize they'd changed the venue as well. Toronto was rescheduled to the same venue so the same seats were maintained. Very happy for that.

Why did shows need to be rescheduled? I'm out of the Damien Rice loop completely...

piontekdd

Damien had an ear infection. Bugged out of the Chicago show about 4 songs or so in. (maybe a couple more). Canceled the next show completely.

Bummer but hopefully he's over it. Bummer for those who could go to the first date but maybe can't make the 2nd date... score for those locked out of the first one!

Not really considering the ridiculous resale prices.

JH6056

Oh, didn't know the resale prices were crazy. Good luck!

Those are available on his site.

By the way - the new album is gorgeous, for anyone who's wondering.

Agreed. The strings make it sound so incredible.

Still looking if anyone comes across any extras.

Thanks!

Would you go if the original cost was $200?

I would, but I'm not going to reward a scalper.

=D>

That's the way to go. I've sold front row or excellent tickets at face value a few times now.... No regrets. Similarly, I won't pay more than face value for a ticket.

given2fly23

Anybody going tonight?

Agreed on the new album. The strings are fucking amazing. The Greatest Bastard= ^:)^

For me, ironically, my favourite song on the album is the only optimistic one (Trusty and True). If he were a happy man, he'd be an equally brilliant songwriter.

given2fly23

He put on an incredible show last night
