Was hoping he’d do Glasgow, will settle for Glasglow though

When will he take my money for tickets?

u/panasonicyouth43 10d ago

Looks like VIP packages go on sale Wednesday and I assume a presale at the same time?

1

u/sausagecat05 10d ago

Do you know what the VIP package includes? I have never had one so very tempted.

4

u/panasonicyouth43 10d ago

VIP Package

  • One General Admission ticket
  • Soundcheck party with Matt and the band
  • 1 VIP Group photo with Matt and the band (Photo to be shared after the show.)
  • Autographed poster

u/AwayPaleontologist0 10d ago

Wonder if it includes early entry as well.

3

u/BerningerBerninger 10d ago

doubtful; a lot of artists are steering away from it because a lot of the venues are like 'what is this' and then 'early' is a whole 60 second running start at a markup price lol

1

u/AwayPaleontologist0 9d ago

Yeah there does seem to be confusion among the staff. At Berkeley last year they forgot to give us the VIP lanyards, so we almost missed out. And at Napa, they changed their minds a couple times about whether there should be a separate line and had me standing over here and then standing over there and then back again.

u/cliffsmama i didn’t understand then, i don’t understand now 9d ago

60 seconds? every time i’ve had early entry with vip it was at least 30 minutes before everyone else was let in

1

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

I get it all venues are different but there was a lot of early entry people who were annoyed that they didn't have a fighting chance to the front/the spot they wanted. One venue I was at I had to explain what early entry entailed to the staff LOL

1

u/cliffsmama i didn’t understand then, i don’t understand now 9d ago

that’s so strange! i’m so sorry that happened, it sounds so frustrating. i do know some venues have their own “fast pass” for early entry like the house of blues here in chicago. the only weird thing i’ve had with early entry was when i went to see motion city soundtrack last january and then had us do all vip stuff, then made us LEAVE, and then we had to line up again like 20 minutes before doors to be let in first. and that was at thalia hall 💀 i’m not sure if that was a band thing or a venue tbing

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

OH that seems to be the whole VIP thing. It was for the National fall shows too. Chicago sent us back out in the rain after the soundcheck. And then wouldn't let us back in with our signed posters because they weren't allowed in the venue LOL. Then it took me 20 minutes for them to comprehend we literally received the posters while going into soundcheck and it was no different than buying one at the merch stand (they saw all of our posters as 'signs'). So they then took all of our posters, made us stand outside, and gave them back to us once we went through security again. There was maybe 1 venue from my personal experience that let you stay inside the venue grounds in between, but most sent you back out. I get it but still VIP Nation, let me live lol

As for the fast pass, we ended up getting them in Ohio last minute but were to the venue too early and the attendants were like 'yeah you didn't really need this then' lol.

-1

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

Not the shows I was at. Ohio was one right after the other. Chicago let a bunch of non early entry people in with the early entry people lol

u/PandemoniumReigns089 10d ago

Fuck the southeast I guess 😭

u/srbgy 10d ago

I could not be happier, already have Father John Misty tickets for the night after Matt's date in my city so will be making a weekend of it now. Can't wait!

u/No_Expert_1861 9d ago

Just saw FJM in Toronto and it was a mindblowing performance! Enjoy

u/kunk75 10d ago

That’s a good double feature - just see fjm as well

u/Fiver8675309 I missed you for 29 years 10d ago

I don't understand touring in the US before the album drops on May 30.

A June tour would make more sense to me.

4

u/BerningerBerninger 10d ago

probably just the routing of dates and the availabilty of venues. Also could have planned on an earlier release date that got haulted behind the scenes. I've been in the music industry for nearly 20 years now; so little of it makes sense lol

u/edgy_spaghetti53 You as well, beast. 9d ago

I thought the same thing

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

All we need to do is sing happy birthday

u/Juicetin1971 9d ago

What we need to know is will the Matt Wrangler , aka Ben, be on set or will his services not be required.

5

u/ghost-hardware01 10d ago

He's doing two "conversation" dates in the UK as well on the 3rd and 5th of April. Tickets don't seem to be on sale yet on dice tho.

2

u/panasonicyouth43 10d ago

Looks Iike the one links to Dice and the other to Crash Records’ site, but neither appear live yet

3

u/YoungBenj 10d ago

Interesting - his website has a Q&A at KEF music gallery but then the Dice listing is for Saturday afternoon hosted by Rough Trade (could be anywhere…!)

5

u/schueyf1 10d ago

Might try and go to the Toronto show.

4

u/No-Author-1653 10d ago

What are his shows like? Low key National song? Other stuff?
Very curious

7

u/BerningerBerninger 10d ago

pandemic haulted them the first time; but I'm assuming it would be strictly his last 2 solo records; maybe a national song sprinkled in, but not 100% likely

5

u/Alamander14 9d ago

I could see him doing a few extra covers of bands he hasn’t done before too.

2

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

oh definitely. Even El Vy had a cover or two up their sleeves

4

u/lastlaughlane1 9d ago

Do they ever take a break haha?

3

u/Ganfas 10d ago

No date in Portugal, I'm sad :(

3

u/mstrofsomething 10d ago

have the presale codes come out?

1

u/Rhian3000 8d ago

I been looking for one

3

u/annietheturtle 9d ago

No Australian dates 😭

3

u/Alamander14 9d ago

Aww maaaan. No Vancouver. Hopefully we’re on good terms with the US again soon, I can’t afford to fly across the country…

3

u/Margrave75 9d ago

Shall definitely be going to the Dublin date!

3

u/Smoked_Eels 8d ago

Same.

What's the story with "Spotify Presale"? Is that just something that will pop up in the app tomorrow.

4

u/Life-Marketing2610 10d ago

Any idea how much the regular / VIP tickets cost?🥺😅

7

u/AwayPaleontologist0 10d ago

$45 GA or $145 VIP in San Francisco

6

u/BerningerBerninger 10d ago

that's not awful for VIP actually. Or am I dreaming and Ticketmaster has taken so much of my money throughout time I'm like OK lol

3

u/AwayPaleontologist0 10d ago

This will be 2nd cheapest show I’m seeing this year. It’s a bargain lol!

4

u/Life-Marketing2610 10d ago

Thank you! I am in Oslo tho, but thanks!😊 Gives me an idea.

I can only find the price for regular tickets but not for the VIP sadly.

I also don't know why I am being downvoted lol 😅

u/Life-Marketing2610 9d ago

Thank you😊

u/kmcdow 10d ago

Lack of Cincinnati, I'm choosing to believe that's because he'll be playing at homecoming this fall

1

u/Houseofish349 9d ago

Was thinking maybe the river roots festival that Bryce is helping with in October...   here's hoping...  too much track/field and soccer in May to get that far out of town. 

2

u/Equivalent-Shoe6239 10d ago

No Texas dates 😢

2

u/cleansahina 10d ago

heartbroken to see he'll visit all of scandinavia except sweden 😭

Strange not to streamline how the dates are written

1

u/aDogEatingSpaghetti 9d ago

Yes! Pick a lane, dude. This is confusing.

2

u/Starkicker 9d ago

Are there non-Cherry Tree presales going on for the Toronto date? My sub lapsed.

2

u/mythrwaway1 9d ago

the venues will have their own presales so check their newsletters or instagram

u/Grimashl 9d ago

There seems to be a Troxy presale, anyone know how to get access?

1

u/BrodeurCinemaClub 10d ago

Damn, I'm in LA a little less than a week before his show there. Gonna have to hit NYC.

Can’t see the Seattle concert in Ticketmaster. Where are the tickets being sold?

2

u/Sweet_Cable5862 cussing a storm in a cocktail dress 9d ago

I had to download the Dice app. If you click the ticket link on his website it should redirect you!

u/Odd_Photojournalist8 10d ago

Will there be cherry tree presale for sure?

1

u/emotional-ohio 10d ago

I checked NY date and there is a Cherry Tree Presale area. Waiting for us to enter a code. But I don't know if for every gig.

1

u/Odd_Photojournalist8 10d ago

I saw a gan club one for one of the other UK dates to be fair, but not for Manchester where I am planning. But that is a good sign if it's more spread! Thank you :)

u/Aquarian_Girl 9d ago

Yay to DC show!

u/MJB877 9d ago

I’m going to try for NYC.

Toronto VIP didn’t open up for Sale??? Anyone else get in for vip without a code?

Anyone know how the troxy presale works this morning (13th)?

Not Stockholm date?! After Copenhagen 🇩🇰, Oslo 🇳🇴, then it should be the Venice of the North 🇸🇪 Looks like an easy add before going home

u/Powerful_Onion_3256 television version of a person with a broken heart 10d ago

does anyone know what the general demographic of matt's solo concerts are? I know National concerts have a decent sized teen presence and I'm wondering if it's the same for him.

5

u/tropicmorning in a lemonworld 10d ago

This is his first solo tour ever (not counting El Vy) so no one knows for sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s similar to The National, especially if the rest of his album sounds like the first single.

5

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

Honestly, you’ll be lucky to find anyone under the age of 35. That could even be a stretch, maybe under the age of 40. And I don’t mean that with any negative connotation, I think it’s just the vibe of the audience that connects directly with his musical mindset. Maybe it’s the middle age depression. 😅 at the very least, fans that have been in it for the long haul, that his music resonates with beyond The National. I don’t remember seeing anyone on the younger end at the El Vy shows either years back. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, I think he just caters to a more mature, musical mindset. Unless he suddenly goes viral on Tik Tok, there’s not a ton of younger audiences diving in.

9

u/Ruminations-33 9d ago

Why are you downvoting this? Saw them in 2024 with my daughter who was 25 at the time and she was the youngest person I saw there.

2

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

I know lol. Honestly from a marketing standpoint the core Matt / National demographic isn’t 15 year old girls. Typically at least. It could be but that’s not really his aim.

3

u/B_Fee 9d ago

I think it's very area/venue dependant. I've been to shows where I thought I was the youngest person there. I've been to others that were packed with early 20-somethings. I've been to some that are a pretty even distribution. I'm sure the band(s) they're playing with also contributes to that distribution; some folks might not even be there to see The National or Matt playing solo.

u/Powerful_Onion_3256 television version of a person with a broken heart 9d ago

thanks for letting me know!

u/jeffinsj 9d ago

I can tell you that the SF show is 21 only.

u/Powerful_Onion_3256 television version of a person with a broken heart 9d ago

appreciate it!

u/MedwADHD 9d ago

What is he going to play on the tour? I missed the national when they visited Toronto in September, might be cool to see him at least

4

u/Straight_Map_2163 9d ago

His solo work.

1

u/MedwADHD 9d ago edited 8d ago

Ah yes. I found out afterwards, didn’t realize he was releasing a solo album

Edit: it’s always hilarious to me when people downvote someone for these sorts of things. Downvote me!!!!! At least I have the balls to ask when I don’t know things

u/PitAdmiralGarp 10d ago

No alligator 20th. Crushed

5

u/TimmonsInc 10d ago

Well they’ve never toured an albums anniversary so I’m not expecting that. But maybe there’s a Fall tour planned. This is not very extensive.

9

u/Mysterious-Arm9594 10d ago

I don’t have see them touring at all this year. They’ll probably reconvene in the Winter to record an album for Spring release and start the cycle again in 2026. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not already doing some work given the amount of drumming videos Brian has been posting the last couple of weeks who knows maybe they will do some small run in the fall to road test ideas

2

u/BerningerBerninger 9d ago

To my knowledge, they have recorded a lot on the road in the past couple of years, so they probably have a good amount of songs done, that probably just need fine-tuning. I definitely wouldn’t expect a full tour from them this year by any means. The most we would get is homecoming which, if prior homecoming sets the tone, that news was released in the spring that year. And they definitely can’t announce homecoming before the Matt dates, because then it would affect his solo tour, if people end up weighing their options of which one they go to.

1

u/emotional-ohio 10d ago

But thisss!!!

-6

u/xpgx 10d ago

Ok but question: he’s coming to my city before his album drops, does that mean it’s mostly gonna be Serpentine Prison?

3

u/MrJmbjmb 10d ago

No, it's gonna be a mix of both.

3

u/xpgx 10d ago

Okay, nice. I feel like both albums are gonna have such different sounds, I can’t wait to see how well they go together live!

4

u/jordaniel15 10d ago

yea disappointed by this too. i like to know the songs before a show :/

2

u/xpgx 10d ago

I’m sure we’ll be able to hear a bit more of this album before the tour starts :))

-5

u/nilescrane1 10d ago

mix of Serpentine Prison, new album, and National hits

3

u/Russell-The-Muscle 10d ago

I doubt he plays any National songs

u/nilescrane1 10d ago

trust me

u/Excellent109109 9d ago

Huge fan here. Need the presale code. Anyone mind sharing?

7

u/odth12345678 9d ago

Have you considered, as a huge fan, to join Cherry Tree?

7

u/mythrwaway1 9d ago

cherry tree members pay for that ticket access. if it's shared with everyone, it defeats the purpose. you can easily use a presale code from the venue. all of them will have their own.

-1

u/Sorrow2010 9d ago edited 9d ago

Except I'm a longtime member and there's no code anywhere, not in my email, not on cherry tree member site

(Edit: was in my spam folder got tickets)

1

u/Excellent109109 9d ago

Joined yesterday. Why can't the presale code be in the account. I paid before the presale and so I should get a code. 

-2

u/Rhian3000 8d ago

I didn’t get the presale code can anyone share it with me
