South Bend Box Office entered wrong password, password for south bend pre sale is AGRACEFULFALL

Also, can we buy a companion ticket with a VIP package?

Yes, as is noted on the two main ticket pages, it is a 4 ticket limit per order, including VIP.

Tony~ I just noticed on my profile page it says the local time is 7:51 am when in fact the time is 8:51 am. Is this going to affect what time the password shows up on the tour page?
I want to buy my tickets this morning and hope I'm not an hour late because of the incorrect time. I'm in Indiana on EST. Help! I'm panicked!

No worries. All times listed on the TOUR page are the times of the ticket sales. The message board system happens to be running on a server in CT but it has nothing to do with the website.

All Eastern Time zone shows go on sale today at 10 AM ET, Central time zone shows go up at 11am ET or 10am CT.

Post your questions or issues with the presale here and your fellow fans will try to help you and Mellencamp.com will be checking this thread every few minutes.

BEFORE POSING A QUESTION REREAD THE FOLLOWING PAGES

They have been updated extensively and include most answers.

PASSWORDS WILL APPEAR 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE PRE SALE BEGINS REFRESH YOUR BROWSER ON THE TOUR PAGE TO SEE THEM WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED IN

There aren't any live presale links on the TOUR page grid other than farm aid. Tomorrow we will be loading in the links where it says PRESALE that will take you to ticket seller's page.

The password will be TBA until about 10 minutes before the presale when we will post it in for people who are logged in. If you see the test message next to the Farm Aid presale on the tour page you are good to go for the presale.

I have a question about the presale.  I see the test message next to the Farm Aid presale that says that the password will appear below, but I don't see the password below.  Am I misssing something?  Also, the password will still be displaying after the presale starts won't it?

If you see the test Farm Aid message that means you ARE logged in and ready for the presale. Tomorrow morning about 10 minutes before the presale we will post the password. You will NEED TO REFRESH to see the password & links.

Any plans for John to come to Texas?

It certainly is in the works for some point in the first 6 months of 2011.

Tony~
This is really petty, but I checked out my profile on this new site and it lists me
as a "community newbie."    I kinda think that's bogus since I've been a regular poster
at Cherry Bomb for the past few years.  Again, probably not at the top of your
priority list..just wanted to know if everyone is starting new or if there's a different
category for Mellenheads transitioning from Cherry Bomb? The new site is really nice!

Sorry to say EVERYONE has to start over with their posting count set at 0. This means everyone starts a Mellencamp Community Newbie. That title changes at 10 posts and many times on the way to 2000.

Your stars increase too as you post more and more.

New forum requires starting over with some of this stuff.

Tony,

If you know/ can release right now do you anticipate some west coast dates?  I know before you mentioned that this seemed like it was all told going to be a pretty extensive tour.  And if you anticipate those dates, would they be later this year (Dec. I guess) or sometime early next year?

In the meantime I'll have to satisfy my JM addiction with the concert w/ Dylan in So Cal next week.  I am really looking forward to the show, the new songs, and it has been a little over 2 years since my last show.  Plus a front row ticket ain't bad.

Yes the No Better Than This tour should visit most regions of the country by the time it ends next Spring. There will be west coast shows as part of it. They will be possibly be announced very late this year.

To clarify, I think we will announce concerts in 2011 by late 2010. I do NOT expect any other concerts beyond the Fall tour to be performed in 2010.

Will these premium tickets be will call only or will they be sent to our homes?

All Premium Package Tickets are WILL CALL pick up only night of show.

So everything says sale time 10:00am....that's 11:00am Michigan time correct? (Sorry - never could get all this time stuff straight.)

Tickets, both pre sale and public tickets, go on sale at 10 AM LOCAL TIME (meaning the time zone the venue is in).

The way our tour page is configured we have to convert all times to EASTERN so all times on the tour page are in EASTERN and include the offset for the shows in Central time (10 AM Central = 11 AM Eastern).

Will AM Radio return to the new site?

It is not currently in the plans.

Hi Tony, Will John be coming to UK as part of World Tour?

Thanks Steven

There is a definite chance it could happen on this tour after the US shows!

Tony, Is it correct on the tour page that the presale for the 11/27 Chicago show is now Aug 11th? Before the presale date for both Chicago shows was Aug 24th .

Doah! Fixed now, presale is the 24th for both Chicago shows. We were working on a lot of the dates and the tour page setup/layout and looks like I forgot to put that show back!

Thanks for the catch!

When ordering tickets during the presale, will it say which row and seat numbers you are purchasing?

Yes!

It should for all ticket sellers. I can't 100% promise it because a few of the venues are not ticketmaster and I am not positive how their ticket selling systems work, but they should all show your exact seat location when you request tickets and put them in your shopping cart.
