I received a call from Ticketmaster saying the Sept. 25th show in Asheville has been moved to the Orange Peel – anyone else get this call ? By the way, love the cool website !
The show is listed on the Orange Peel’s website. Why are these shows being moved? (Knoxville also). Are tickets going that slowly? It appears that none of the shows are sold out yet.
I received an email from Ticketmaster announcing the change. The Orange Peel holds 942 people, no seats. The Thomas Wolfe Auditorium holds 2,300+ people.
wow, that’s a major downgrade from the Thomas Wolfe to the OP. Lucinda has played the Thomas Wolfe numerous times. I think the last time (march 2007) it was nearly sold-out. The show has been getting promotion on local radio (wncw) though I haven’t heard much of Real Love. I guess it’s a hard sell since the show is coming before the record. Tickets were too $ imo too.
I think there’s good & bad about the move. The OP is a great venue and the opportunity to see her in such a small venue is quite exciting. The bad is that it will probably be too crowded and that can easily ruin a show. I’ve been to shows at the OP where it has been sold-out and it can be quite uncomfortable. Unless you stand in the back but who wants to stand in the back?!?
Plus, those who are coming from out of town (possibly me) will get stuck in the back because it’s hard to get there two hours before showtime to lineup and it’s standing room only.
ok, I’m rambling. Hopefully some will concur with my thoughts.
Just rcvd this info from the Orange Peel:
Hello Peelers,
Have you heard our exciting news yet?Lucinda Williams
plus Buick 6
Thursday, September 25th
7pm doors / 8pm showWe can hardly wait for this Thursday, September 25, when one of our favorite singer-songwriters, Lucinda Williams, heads into town to play the Orange Peel for the first time.
The show has been moved from Thomas Wolfe Auditorium to the Peel, and tickets are still available!
You can get yours online, or at the Orange Peel box office this week. If you already purchased tickets for the show at Thomas Wolfe, we will honor those Ticketmaster tickets here at the Peel on Thursday evening- just bring them with you to the doors.
Many have asked us about how the evening will be structured; here is some information that covers the majority of the inquiries we’ve received. We will not have reserved seating – the show will be standing room only with limited seating available around the perimeter of the room available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Ticketmaster is offering refunds to those who purchased tickets to Thomas Wolfe should they so choose – they are available only at the Thomas Wolfe box office or at www.ticketmaster.com.
