code says invalid for me too. Keep putting it, keeps saying invalid and not getting any seats. This is not good.

Again that is because the presale has not begun until 10 AM.

The code says invalid?

My understanding is that the password will not go in the box at the top of the page for a promo code but rather somewhere else that will appear on the ticket purchase page once the event goes on sale.

So we should wait until 10:00 then and the 9:45 pre-sale is completely invalid?

As is explained on our main ticket article, we reveal our presale password at 9:45, the presale itself starts at 10 AM LOCAL time.

The code says invalid?

My understanding is that the password will not go in the box at the top of the page for a promo code but rather somewhere else that will appear on the ticket purchase page once the event goes on sale.

I can't figure out how to preregister with them!!

It may not be possible. You could attempt to buy some other tickets for one of their other shows and register but abandon the purchase.

Post any issues/questions you have with the Pittsburgh presale today!

The password will be posted at about 9:50 AM and will take place through the venue ticket website. We suggest you pre-register with them.

No, I didn't think that there were private messages anymore.

I think my whole family may be going to the pittsburgh show, so I may end up not going for the best seats, so I might need another show to do up close and personal if possible. 

Yes you can still do personal messages. There is an icon under each person's name over on the left below where their avatar can go.

I am not sure why, but my local PBS station is only airing two nights of this:(

Will there be any video links provided here?

I have been working with Tavis producers who should be posting all of John's episodes online for us to enjoy online. Hopefully today.

Hi Tony,

I was hoping to see a stop in New York but the closest is Pittsburgh, way tooooooooooooo far.  I was wondering if there were any plans here or closer than Pittsburgh.

Thanks,

I'm really going to miss CCB

As was mentioned in the tour announcement, the tour is expected to extend through Spring 2011 so there are more legs expected. I am told that the tour should have around 60 shows with 15 or so announced so far.

I expect more tour announcements in time for holiday gift giving season tickets with shows starting in Jan/Feb for the second leg.

Make sure you are on our mailinglist for announcements!

I cannot find the link to AM Radio. Has it been moved?

I just joined the 'community' in hopes of finding the pre-sale code for the nashville show, but I can't find a link on his tour page to buy tickets for the nashville show. Anybody know what i'm doing wrong?

See the home page article that lists all of the passwords, if you are logged in on the TOUR page the passwords will appear in the proper column.

Nashville's is americanfool

Awesome concert in Casper last night!  I traveled there from CO and am very happy that I did!  What a great small venue to hear you play--loved it!

However, I (we) were disappointed that John did not return for an encore and also that he only played for about 50 minutes(?)  (seemed short)   I know he was not the headliner so the short set makes sense, but, I did read that he played an encore at other sites so I was wondering what happened last night?    It would have been great to hear more music, especially the Authority song.

Hope you schedule a Colorado show or two in your uncoming tour.   Northern CO would be great!!

Thanks for the great music last night.  

John was only slotted by Dylan's team for the time that he played. Also John doesn't really play encores. He really never has. He feels they are silly and staged. Typically the band goes sidestage, John says a few works, intros the band and then they close with a song (this time Authority Song).

hmmm maybe I will just stick to posting the link

Always post the link with the article but don't worry about it too much. If you aren't profiting from posting the article in some way the likelyhood of trouble goes WAY down. Because of the random nature of the web and Mellencamp articles there are few sites that have an article about him more than once every few years.

Here is a paragraph I think that is of note:
Mark Hinueber, corporate attorney for Las Vegas Review Journal,  observed the lawsuit is primarily directed towards those involved in copyright infringement, of the cut-and-paste variety or taking substantial portions of article material and posting it without reference or citation.

Tony,

I bought the tickets through Ticketmaster with the code, but the ticket printout says "IUB student ID required".  I didn't see a student requirement in the process, did I miss something?

Ignore it according to what Mellencamp Tour Management was able to find out. Some of the IU tickets are being sold discounted to students, THOSE will be the ones who need the ID and I think they were all $25. It was a setup error that printed that message on your tickets.

Detroit presale password 'uhhuh' is not working...help!!

Check the local radio stations. Technically our presale was to end last night with different passwords today. In many cases that has not been what has happened, the password has continued.

Try our password in the other fields available too it might work in the radio or internet presale fields.

Are small point and shoot cameras allowed at the shows, or is it according to venue? I would hope to think they are all becoming more lax with all the fancy phones out there today.

Thank You!

It always starts with venue policy, because no matter what we say what the building managers tell their security people the night of show is what happens.

However in the past few tours John and his staff has loosened up allowing non professional cameras to be used at shows. However use them sparingly, don't take hundreds of pictures, it can be very annoying to John & band, especially if you are up close. Also don't use flash, it doesn't improve the picture in a concert situation and just proves to be a distraction.

Again this is for NON professional cameras (aka small/portable or cell phones). Cameras with big zoom lenses or detachable lenses are going to probably draw attention and might end up with security coming over to you.

Now I DO NOT know what our policy will be on the fall tour. It is best to ask me about a week before the first show. Things could be different in theaters this time compared to arenas or outdoor amphitheaters.
