Cream Calendar Mumford & Sons to Play The Ryman March 6-8
Posted by Adam Gold on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 4:11 PM
Perhaps making up for lost time, Mumford & Sons will take to country music’s Mother Church not once, not twice, but thrice — today announcing a three-night residency at The House That Hee Haw Built, March 6-8. Tickets for all three shows will probably sell out in, like, three minutes when they go on sale this Saturday, Feb. 4, at 10 a.m. here, here and here. So get ready to refresh your browser with a gunslinger’s trigger finger. Tickets are $49.50.
While there’s no word yet as to who will appear as support on these shows, a forthcoming announcement of a local opener and/or openers would not surprise me in the slightest. Feel free to share your predictions in the comments.
Are you Mumford virgins wondering what to expect? Then revisit my pointed unbiased review of the band’s tear-jerking 2011 Bonnaroo set and worship service. Among other musings, I had this to say about the M&S phenomenon:
Mumford and Sons are the Americana boom's answer to Coldplay — they're trying to see what a pickin' party would sound like at Wembley Stadium.

Does $11.80 in Ticketmaster fees on top of a $49.50 ticket seem a little absurd considering this will be a ticketless entry event?

dislikeHey check out (and like) an awesome one-take of "We Could Set Sail" by the Folk Rock/ Indie Artist, Dusty Wright of Culture Catch at: http://culturecatch.com/vidcast/dusty-wrig…
goodluck with getting tickets unless u wanna pay 5x the price from a scalper site. u should have to buy tickets the old fashioned way, standing in a real line.
I wish everyone would refuse to purchase obviously scalped tickets and make the scalpers eat their tickets. Maybe the empty seats and complaints would show ticketmaster and the bands that we're fed up. I signed on to buy only 2 tickets to see Mumford and Sons at exactly 10am when they went on sale. All 3 shows were already sold out. That is complete BS. The only available seats were already going for $250+ per seat! This is for a $49/seat show. I'm just not going.
I heard all the tickets on stubhub and ebay are being pulled, still doesn't stop the jerks on craigslist........speaking of, there is a douchebag named Dan selling his almost last row seats for $250 a pair.....good job M&S's
