As a fan who worked very hard to get what i knew would be limited tickets to an incredible venue, I feel like I have just been swindled. Thomas Wolfe is an intimate theater with great sound and atmosphere. The Civic Center is certainly not. I had planned a 7-8 hour trip and on paying for a downtown hotel room in order to see what was advertised as a smaller, more intimate show at a great venue and now have tickets to a concert at a place where I generally do not go to see a band. Yes, the band is the same, the show will be played with the same great showmanship and zeal that the Avett Brothers always bring, but it is not the same at that venue. There is more to the idea of a NYE show than just hearing the songs and seeing the band. It is the total experience and context of the show that made this such an exciting event. The songs will be great. The venue, sound, and atmosphere will be much different than what the fans who put in a lot of effort to get the limited seating tickets were promised. I don't think it will surprise anyone that people are disappointed. It doesn't mean I don't like the band anymore, but it does sting to be sold one thing and get another.
