MELLENCAMP.COM ANNOUNCEMENTS / Ticket & Tour Questions / US tour tickets for sale - special circumstances
|
on: December 11, 2018, 11:37:02 pm

It is with a sad heart I put this up here: I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer [currently recovering from a lumpectomy] and will be going through chemo / radiotherapy until the end of March 2019 - this includes all the dates I have bought tickets for.
When I bought the tickets I was living in Canada, but am now back living in Australia.
The problem being I cannot sell the tickets via 'ticket now' as you need to have a residence in US/Canada. Many of them are collect at the venue, but some are print at home. $2000+ is a lot of money to lose. *FYI i have also not be able to access any of the 'free' CD offer as they too only mail to USA/Canada.
I have 1 ticket for all these shows - 2nd row mostly, 2 third and 1 row H. They are all VIP bar 1.
New York all 3 dates x 1 Memphis x1 Nashville 2 dates x 1 Orlando x1 Clearwater 2 dates x 1
Hope someone can help. Thanks

Wow ... Everyone has their own opinions... I have never met either John or Meg, but I wish them the best as they are making it work for them. In this day and age it is hard to maintain relationships [or for many even be in / start a relationship], let alone if you are in the spotlight. Congratulations.

MELLENCAMP.COM ANNOUNCEMENTS / Ask Mellencamp.com / Eyes on the Prize - new single
|

Though I have heard this song a few times before by different artists, I was keen to hear John's version again.
So, I have had my first listen of the newly recorded version of - Eyes on the Prize [cover] - Other People's Stuff.
It reminded me a lot of the sound quality achieved on the 'No Better Than This' CD / album.
IMHO - slick rhythm and something to groove to.
I can't wait to hear this live.
Wonder what everyone else thinks?

MELLENCAMP.COM ANNOUNCEMENTS / Announcements & Updates / Re: JOHN MELLENCAMP TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM: OTHER PEOPLE'S STUFF PRE-ORDER TODAY!

Thanks for the info. I have said it in another thread, but will here too - we usually have to wait a while between albums/CDs - so this is another present courtesy of John [the live Chicago CD/DVD was the first] - thank you. I look forward to hearing the new arrangements for some / all? of the songs. As there are only 10 songs that would mean there are still spaces when performing live, for crowd pleasers / hits. Will John perhaps be performing 'Eyes on the Prize' as a teaser for any of the remaining shows in Canada, such as Kamloops or Kelowna? Would be a nice surprise for the Canadian fans.

Thanks for the update from this show. Hope the encore thing is a continuing thing. Maybe the song choice can be mixed up, a different one each time. Keeps us guessing.

MELLENCAMP.COM ANNOUNCEMENTS / Ticket & Tour Questions / Australian Tour - any chance for 2019?
|
on: October 18, 2018, 12:18:08 pm

Is there any chance that John and the band will be touring Australia after the USA tour 2019 or later that year? It has been a while since he has come 'Downunder'.
For consideration: * who the tour promoter is * when the ads for the shows are actually aired [not 11pm - midnight, like last time] and frequency * hitting the social media sites hard to promote and giving enough time for people to plan etc for shows * getting interviews on the main talk shows [including radio] / morning TV / paid TV like Foxtel, with John to announce the tour etc * finding someone who knows the type of venues suited to John's style of concert - wineries, not the way to go, long ways to travel, limited accommodation and shite to leave after the show if you are driving - eg Sidney Myer music bowl - great indoor/outdoor area, suited for warmer weather from November to March OR The Plenary - great, intimate venue, new, comfy seating and sound and accessible for transport and accommodation needs [and this is just Melbourne venues as a start] * picking venues that are central, allows for a wider range of people to access the shows and stay in accommodation that is suited to their financial levels - ie pick a venue within the main cities or larger country cities / towns - guaranteed better attendance and link to public transport etc * comparative prices to tickets in the US and Canada - VIP tickets retailed for the last tour, which was cancelled in OZ, for over $1000, compared to $300+ in the US and Canada - even with conversions to AU$, the discrepancy in prices is a lot. NOTED: it is understandable that there a large costs associated with a tour and the distance obviously. I believe IMHO that lowering prices would also improve ticket sales. **Look at how easily they have been selling for the USA tour next year...
Any other Aussies out there have any more ideas? - we really want to get John and the band back to OZ soon...
