Hot on the heels of announcing their new album HELP US STRANGER (out June 21 via Third Man Records), The Raconteurs – Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler – have announced an extensive run of North American headline tour dates. These new dates, spanning from July to October, include previously-announced US festival appearances at Woodstock 50 and Railbird. The band will kick off their world tour with their first trip to Australia and New Zealand later this month, as well as stops in Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom before returning to the US for their North American tour.
Tickets to the North American headline dates go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 12 at 10am local time. Third Man Records Vault members will have access to the very first pre-sale starting on Tuesday, April 9 at 10am local time, running through Thursday, April 11 at 10pm local time. Vault members will be emailed a pre-sale code later today. For tickets and more information on all tour dates, visit https://theraconteurs.com/tour.

What is going on with Kings theater? There’s been no tickets for either presale
No GA tickets in the AMEX Presale either, for the Kings Theatre Brooklyn show.
I will graciously say thank you TMR! Going to Milwaukee and Cleveland and appreciate The Vault pre-sale. My 8 year old will be going to her 3rd JW concert. All ages shows ROCK!
Someone making a nice profit on ~$80 Ryman 2nd row front tix, for sale on StubHub for ~$500.
Really disappointed that I wasn’t able to get Ryman tickets.I waited in a virtual waiting room and by the time it was my turn…only balcony left… How does this happen when it’s a presale and a ticket limit? Bullshit
How soon will I get the email? I just signed up.
making the trip to Vancouver in July! super pumped!
I’m so sad I never got a presale code – I paid 60 bucks yesterday to join the vault just for presale tickets :(
FYI, there was a 4 ticket limit, thousands of these seats are already on the secondary market because the ticket purchaser does not have to present when entering. I got 4 tickets for Seattle and Troutdale Oregon, I could, in theory, sell them all. I wont, but I could. I wish they would have made it so the purchaser had to be present and every vault member could have gotten their tickets no problem. Bummer when you play these smaller theaters and don’t put in measures against scalpers and flippers. Makes me wonder what kinds of cut they get from the secondary market sales, I am sure it’s decent. Thing is, take the Ryman shows, just auction them all off and let fans pay the band that market price instead of giving that money to a flipper or scalper site… If I have to pay 300 for a ticket so be it, rather the band got all that though.
Same thing happened with me for the Ryman on the 29th. I would add the tickets to my cart and then it would say,“sorry but another fan got your tickets” until finally there were no tickets left. Extremely disappointing
