They're what's for dinner

Has anyone heard about venues selling new tickets day of? I read a story online about last year's LA show where they sold some tix day of, with people waiting in line, going to the ticket window and buying tickets day of. I'm flying to Portland next week for vacation and my brother and I are going to try this and also try to buy tickets from someone that may be going in themselves but may have extras. I really want to go but I don't want to be shafted with worthless resale tickets where they stop me at the door. I've called some ticket vendors and they guarantee entry but I've read numerous horror stories online as well. I've got tickets already for the New Pornographers and Coheed that week, but Radiohead is the show I really want to go to. Any advice is appreciated.

It's common but not guaranteed. Basically every show has a certain number of tickets held back from public sale - nothing nefarious; usually they're held for stuff like artist guest list, the media and the venue. Quite often these get released close to or on the show day when the lists are finalized and the venue has an exact count of who's been on the various lists given to them by the promoter/artist. Sometimes they go online for anyone to buy, sometimes they just keep them for sale at the door.

Another tip: for artists with VIP packages, check back often starting two weeks before show date, especially if the show is sold out. If the VIP isn't selling well they will usually release blocks of those tickets as regular seats in order to fill the venue. Usually a few days beforehand they release whatever's unsold for VIP since they have to get info out to all the VIP purchasers. Sometimes this happens the day before as well.

Thanks for replies. My Bro called the Moda Center and they open the ticket window at noon day of show. They said it is likely, but not 100% sure extra tix will go on sale. The also said that floor and 100 level seats get the most scrutiny so 200 and 300 level must be more lenient from a resale point of view? Anyway, gonna try to see my fav band for the 5th time.

They sounded terrible. Both acoustically (turned up waaaaay too loud) and the music itself sounded like a lot of middle eastern wailing/chanting without a real rhythm to it. Not my thing.

Do they have a good assortment of merchandise for sale at the show? Tell us more about the show! I want to peak at the setlist but I don't in case I get in. Want to be surprised.

Here's my blurry shot of the merch table. Decent selection. Picked up a shirt for 40 and a sweet water bottle for 15.



We got two full encores and then they left and came back to play Karma Police Crowd was loud, awesome and very, very into it which is why I think we got the amount of songs we did for the encores (17 songs in the set and then 8 for the encores). Here's the setlist if anyone is interested http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2017/philips-arena-atlanta-ga-7be6ba3c.html

I'll never forget it. This must be how church feels to the religious lmao

Okay, I peeked. I'd be happy with either of those setlists, honestly. Three of my most-wanted songs were played at the Miami show, but not Atlanta.

Climbing Up the Walls, Nude, Identikit

New Orleans was insane. The live version of Desert Island Disk is better than the album.

The $40 t-shirts did strike me as kinda odd though. I haven't seen Radiohead since 2003 though so maybe that type of price gouging is the norm now.

Radiohead had good opening acts when I saw them. I think one time it was Steve Malkmus, and the other time is was kid koala and beta band.

Kid Koala and The Beta Band on the 2001 tour was by far my favorite of the Radiohead opening acts that I've seen.

They were really good. They brought a chick out to sing half way through and she was amazing. The melodies she would sing were incredibly complex and she delivered them perfectly with great vocal control. Definitely going to pick up their album.

To this day I kick myself for missing the Boston concert in '06 where Radiohead briefly had Black Keys open during their early Rubber Factory/Chulahoma era.

It was pretty great and the crowd was ridiculously loud between songs and before encores. That was my 5th time seeing them and I think it may have been one of the best overall setlists I've seen them play. I almost balked at the $90 price of the WASTE pre-sale tickets, but I'm glad I didn't.

Unfortunately that's a pretty normal price for a shirt at an arena show like that. I pretty much stopped buying concert Ts when the prices went over $30 and that was 10+ years ago.

Hahah, I've seen them three times since In Rainbows came out, and they haven't played it once, including during the IR tour where they played literally every other song on the album. I don't think they like playing it much.

Just got back from the Kansas City show. Where I End and You Begin was the most unexpected song of the night, and I believe they also played Give Up the Ghost for the first time this tour.

The sound was about as good as I could reasonably expect from a stadium show—though some of the louder songs, particularly Airbag, were a barely distinguishable wall of noise.

It turns out Bloom loving rules live, and might've been the highlight of the whole set for me.

I was kind of disappointed they didn't play Everything in Its Right Place—I figured that song was a sure thing at pretty much every Radiohead concert. No Climbing Up the Walls either, but I wasn't expecting it—just strongly hoping for it.

Not sure why you're spoiler-tagging all that, but uh, I was surprised how great the live renditions of "Burn the Witch," "Ful Stop" and "Identikit" were (OK, I heard them do the last one when they were in KC five years ago, but I wasn't as familiar w/ it as I am now).

Very nice, I recorded the audio on my phone but haven't checked the quality yet. It usually isn't the best but I mostly go to club shows. I'm hoping a nicer touched up version shows up on the Not For Profit blog before long.

I was worried someone would yell at me about setlist spoilers if I didn't. :shrug:

I also enjoyed the live version of Burn the Witch, probably more than the album version.

With the exception of Codex (which they hardly ever play anyways), everything from King of Limbs sounds amazing live. Their 2012 tour was loving incredible.

PDX:



Daydreaming

Desert Island Disk

Ful Stop

Airbag

15 Step

The National Anthem
(With "Hunting Bears" outro) (they spliced in promo ad propaganda in the background which was surreal and amazing)

Separator

All I Need

Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Bloom

Identikit

Everything in Its Right Place

There There

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

I Might Be Wrong (played flat until the last possible moment, I almost thought there would be no freakout at the end)

Idioteque

Nude

Encore:
Glass Eyes

No Surprises (predictably, people went wild at 'bring down the government')

Burn the Witch (absolutely amazing anthem shred version)

Reckoner

Lotus Flower

Encore 2:
You and Whose Army?

Creep (...and fade to white)






Couldn't have imagined it better if I tried. Golden moment was hearing I Might Be Wrong. Silver moment was an absolute ballin version of Bloom. Bronze moment was the shredding version of Burn The Witch. Runner up goes to Thom's eyeball during You and Whose Army.

TKoL songs sounded the best of everything, especially Bloom. Holy poo poo.
