John Mellencamp Community

Post your questions about the 2017 Summer tour in this thread!

Hi! I read that JM is going to play in Connecticut, my home state, this summer. Do you have any idea where the show is or the date yet? Just want to make sure I'm in CT when he is!  Thank you.

At what point will the pre-sale password be distributed for the kick off show in Denver?

So then, can folk with non US/Canadian addresses still order VIP tickets?

Here is more information about how our pre-sale works and helpful links.

Details and explanations of our ticket program, including how to get the pre sale password, is available here:

MELLENCAMP.COM PRE-SALE INSTRUCTIONS


Step 1 - Register to become a free member of the Mellencamp.com Community through the COMMUNITY page on Mellencamp.com.

 Step 2 - Consult the details of your show on the TOUR page to see the date and time of your pre-sale. Click the blue information icon for complete details about your show.

 Step 3 - Return to Mellencamp.com the morning of your show's pre-sale and log into the website.

 Step 4 - On the TOUR page, approximately 10 minutes before the pre-sale begins, we will post a pre-sale ticket password ONLY for logged in members. You MUST REFRESH the TOUR page in your browser to see the password, it will appear in the column next to whichever show you choose.

 Step 5 - Click the link to go to the online ticket seller and enter the password where required to gain access to the pre-sale and then complete your purchase.

 TIP: We suggest you click the pre-sale tickets link for your show and pre-register with the ticket seller before our pre-sale begins to avoid any check out issues during your purchase.

 TIP: There are often other pre-sales for John's show. You might try to find and use the passwords from those pre-sales. Credit card companies, venues, tour promoters, ticket sellers often all have their own pre-sales separate from our Mellencamp.com offering.

 Typically there is a 4 ticket limit per Community Member per show (many shows on the Plain Spoken tour will have a 6 ticket limit). Our pre-sale has a limited number of tickets and will likely sell out. Tickets are first come, first served and there are no guarantees that you will get a ticket through our pre-sale.

That will depend on the ticket system for each individual show, but my expectation is that most likely it would not let you buy if you are foreign

We do not have the confirmed details. We are expecting it to be on the August tour.

The tour date page shows the Atlanta presale occurring on the day of the show (though the thought of purchasing at 1 am day of show is certainly unique and exciting!).

Hopefully this will be corrected soon, and it looks like a few other dates have day of show on sales.

The sale dates for Saratoga are also the same day as the show. When is that likely to be updated to the actual sale date?

I am sad to see that as a foreigner I cannot buy tickets - I am going to be in the states when John is touring - I was so excited that finally I am going to be able to see him...and again I will not. Please let us know if this changes as I cannot see John ever returning to Australia after the debacle of last year.
Thanks for your time :)

Don't think there is any problem buying tickets, it's just that you can't purchase VIP tix as they come with a merch package that they won't post overseas.

Because the VIP packages include shipped merchandise I think being a foreign buyer might mean you might not get the items, but if the ticket system is able sell you the ticket you should be able to at least use that.

My suggestion would be to call the box office at the venue of the show you want to attend and ask them how their ticket system works.

Our system uses the show date as the ticket on sale date until we have the true onsale date. We do not have any indication of when we will know, but we will update the TOUR page and announce the on sale date in our email newsletter and social media pages once we have a confirmed date!

Thank you sir!

Any plans for a uk/European leg ?

John does not plan to tour outside of North America in 2017

Thank you! I have family travelling from abroad for this show so, super keen to get tickets :)

How much are the VIP front row tickets?  No price listed.

It differs by show. If you head to the TOUR page and click the blue i button next to your show in the tour date grid there are all of the ticket details we know, including prices for the VIP packages.

Why No Atlanta pre-sale Code???

Atlanta's on sales are still TBD

Why is Atlanta show still NOT on Sale today or No Pre-Sale Code??? :'(

Atlanta's pre sale and on sale are still TBD. Keep watching the tour page for updates!

Never received Fan Club email for presale for Forest Hills, NY

Are cameras allowed at the shows?  Specifically the St. Augustine show?  The venue says they are as long as the artist says ok... Just a regular point and shoot camera, nothing fancy.  Don't want to get to the gate and then have to go back to the car because they are not allowed.
Thanks for any info!  Can't wait for the show!!   ;D

For the past couple of tours John has been adamant about a NO CAMERA policy and that is including cell phones.  It is very distracting to him, so I cam going to assume no camera's this time too! 

I did not receive the presale code to purchase tickets.  How do I receive.

On the tour tab, it says there are $15 tickets for the show in Lenox, Massachusetts but when I use the code on the ticket seller's website the cheapest opton is $35. Can someone please explain this?

We publish the prices we are given by the tour promoter. It's possible the $15 tickets are only available through box office, or are only for students. I suggest calling the box office at the venue, they will have the most information.

Presale code is not working! Anyone else having this problem?

I have 2 tickets for sale to the St. Augustine concert on June 24th...Section 101, Row D, Seats 11 and 12. Will sell for what I paid for them...$249 each. Any takers or suggestions on how to sell these tickets??? Thanks!!

i bought tickets for the NY show through the pre sale yesterday.  I received a confirmation email from AXS.  My credit card was never charged so i logged into AXS today to check and it says i have no upcoming events.  HELP please.   I have been on hold for AXS for an hour.  No one is picking up and I want my tickets, they are 9th row!

Hi Sharon and Tony
I see the pre-sale date for Atlanta posted now but there is still no price for the front row or regular diamond packages. Any updates on those or is Chastain one of those places where we won't be able to get them?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info - I would more than likely want the VIP - surely they could keep such things at the venue to be picked up or sent to the hotel I am staying at. Once a shw appears that I can go to then I will contact them in advance - cheers and kepp doing the great work there - SW

So psyched about the new tour  and his first concert at Ravinia (Chicago area shows)  been awhile since I have seen him live, the diamond packages say reserved seating anyone one know what types of seats these are?  Although what I can gather these wont be available for The Ravinia Shows.

No VIP packages will be offered by Mellencamp.com for Ravinia. We suggest reaching out to them directly to see what kinds of memberships/access they offer for their donors.

Pre sale codes for Saratoga Mountain Winery?

Does Lily and Madeline have their own opening act set or do they just accompany Carlene Carter during her opening set?

They just accompany Carlene and then join John for 5-6 songs. Read their insights on the tour here: http://www.indianapolismonthly.com/arts-culture/lily-madeleine-talk-touring-mellencamp/

Has anyone received their Diamond vip or front row vip Merchandise package yet?

The items have begun shipping earlier this week so they should start arriving soon for the first shows.

Just wanting to know - will any more dates announced for the US tour?
Secondly - any chance there will an announcement for an Australian tour - this CD / album is extraordinary and it would be great to witness John performing some of the od and new songs live.
Thanks Syl

Has anyone been receiving their VIP merchandise before the concerts? Also, I still have 2 awesome tickets for sale for the 6/24 show in St. Augustine Fl. Pit 1, 4th row!! They are listed on Facebook and StubHub.

I emailed AEG, who is in charge of the VIP packages and they just emailed me back with a general statement saying that my merchandise for the vip package is in the process of being shipped.

Are the songs for each set in the concert the same each tour date/location or how does John choose his songs per set?  Does he ever divert from the set line up at the last minute? 

Do you know the pricing for the VIP packages for the 2018 summer Canadian tour?

Thank you,

Brett.

 >:( What? No Calgary date?

Click the Blue Info icon next to each tour date on the TOUR dates page of Mellencamp.com and all ticket prices are listed there

is the only way to get a front row ticket is to buy one of the vip packages?

Yes, all front row tickets should be in the presales, possibly with some exceptions

Secondly I would like to know what the the vip thing gets you please? I have multiple tickets that are vip for canada. Feel free to pm me Thanks Syl Hello:
 
Congratulations on your purchase of a John Mellencamp VIP Package!
 
We are almost ready to ship your VIP merchandise to you; however, we will need you to reconfirm your shipping address.
 
If possible, do you have a Canadian address to which we can ship your merchandise, rather than the US address you initially provided?
 
Please note, we cannot ship VIP packages to hotel addresses as we cannot guarantee it will arrive during your stay. If your US address is the only option then we will proceed to ship your merchandise there, however it may arrive after the date of the show.
 
Please provide us with the following information so that we may update your shipping address:
 
·         LAST NAME, FIRST NAME
·         ADDRESS
·         ADDRESS 2 (Unit / Apt. # if applicable)
·         CITY
·         PROVINCE
·         POSTAL CODE
 
 
Best, 
VIP Customer Service

That is not spam the VIP distributors are beginning to pull shipping addresses for these shows and are finding some customer lists are missing information such as postal codes and a small number of others have U.S. or international shipping addresses. They are working with a Canadian merchandiser who told us that shipping product into the U.S. is a bit more complicated, requiring some documentation, customs codes and product manufacturing information. This should be resolved soon but to avoid delivery delays for these guests attending the first couple shows, they wanted to offer an option to ship to a Canadian address and avoid any frustration with late packages.

Thanks for answering my question.

Need help finding the Memphis presale code!!
