May 26 Greenwich

[blessed]

Just saw this...

http://www.greenwichtime.com/local/a...ty-3404333.php

>Joining Simon -- a 12-time Grammy Award winner known as half of Simon and Garfunkel, and for his 40-year solo career -- will be blues group Tedeschi Trucks Band, Gospel musician Kirk Franklin, rock band Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and the Wailers, a reggae band formed by the remaining members of Bob Marley & the Wailers.



Although their ticket policy seems odd...

>As was the policy last year, ticket sales are limited to Greenwich residents and business owners, and employees of town businesses and organizations. Non-Greenwich residents may attend as guests.

Thanks for the head's up! I wish I knew someone who lives in Greenwich!

[Karen]

I find this extremely cool - even though even if I could go, I couldn't even go.

[esalv22]

Where there's a will, there's a way ... thanks for the info, Blessed!

Ok so I found out some information on this. i contact them and was told:

Thank you for your note and yes, this event is for Greenwich residents by Greenwich residents. Having said that, there are a limited number of non-resident tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis. What that number is, I cannot say. Non-residents must go to the Greenwich Town Hall, Monday - Friday, 10am - 6pm, to purchase tickets.

Again, non-resident tickets are on a first-come, first served basis. When said tickets have been sold out, no additional non-resident tickets will become available.

I just called town hall and it is true, they do have a limited number of non-resident tickets. However, they do not sell them over the phone, you have to go to get them. you can call 203.622.7897 for information.

So....if ANYONE is planning on doing this, and would be so kind as to be willing to pick me up 2 tickets, PLEASE, PLEASE send me a PM and we can arrange. i live on Long Island and just can't get to Greenwich during the week.

Thanks!!!

I think I read that non-residents can attend with residents as a guest? I take that to mean if a resident buys two regular (resident) tickets, that they could bring an out of town friend as a guest... I could most definitely be wrong.....

[Snowbird]

It is a town party and tickets are restricted, but there are very limited non-resident tickets available. The only way to get them is to go to town hall in person, or have a resident buy and bring you as a guest. Even those tickets are restricted to 6 per resident, so it's not very open ticketing at all.

I still have family down that way, and was able to get tickets through my sis, so I am a very very happy camper.

Can you fell me smiling?

Hope to see some other familiar smiling faces there too!

[Wally C]

3 hr drive for me too and I cant do it till the 23rd, by which time they will be gonzo so....hoping for another show close by.....its a long weekend.

Has Grace ever been matched up with Susan other than maybe for a guest sing along? Seems like anyone who knows anything will know it's these two that most people will be going to see, the billed guys might as well take a back seat now and taka a load off.

Doc ... GPN and TTB played back to back sets two nights in a row at Fredericton, NB's 2010 Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival. Tedheadone, Kired, and I were fortunate enough to be there .. the two bands are definitely a powerhouse duo.
btw .. the two bands were called in after Greg Allman's health issues caused him bow out as the main stage headliner.

whoa, cool. heavy lineup & venue is also located dangerously close to big apple

[JackieinCT]

Just checked - Greenwich is an hour and a half drive. Not sure I can get out of work to get there this week. Ugghhhh! If I do get there, I'll pick up extras. Heath, how many did they let you purchase as a non-resident?

Jackie - My Mother was able to get four non-resident tickets at the Greenwich Town Hall

the website says its sold out and there's a waiting list. a friend of mine in CT was going to look into it this morning at town hall but for now it certainly appears to be sold out. the "waiting list" however has maybe left the door open? or i might just cruise up there without tix TH1 style
