Ira Glass Tickets

Ira Glass is known for hosting This American Life on National Public Radio. The presentation at the Morrison Center did not disappoint. Mr. Glass provided tidbits from his many years of hosting through both visual and verbal recordings. The theme was 7 things I have learned. Maybe the most important for all of us to remember given his long history on the same show is that it is ok to fail. I thought it was a phenomenal evening. If you enjoy public radio, Ira Glass in person should be on your bucket list.

I was so happy to be able to attend Ira Glass on Saturday night at the Morrison Center in Boise. He was funny, witty, informed, and of course a terrific storyteller. I was so thankful that even though he missed his flight in SLC, he drove the five hours to Boise to make the show. For a New Yorker to drive that far is a big deal! I could’ve listened to him for hours longer. If you get a chance to see this show, I highly recommend you do so.

I think Grand Rapids was fortunate to have Ira Glass come to our town. His delivery was fascinating! Using a music stand and about 50 pages of notes . . . along with an Apple iPad and a giant screen, I was fascinated with the presentation! And his "view of the world."His best line: "Two old men, running to become the President, and no one likes them!"And then chiding us: "Michigan voters are going to be the ones who select our next President." Intellectual, amusing, professional, clever . . . a very enjoyable presentation. (Ticketmaster >>>> YOU are the ones who need improvement. Your website was just about impossible to wade through! It SHOULD be as easy as Lands End. More customer oriented . . . not the Techies on your staff.)

I have hearing problems as it is. And I wore my hearing aids. But, the amount of echoing and reverberation in the hall still made it difficult for me to catch everything that was said. This is also why I do no attend the Broadway series. I simply can't catch all of the dialogue etc. I do not have the LOOP option in my hearing aids. So, I have no idea what to write in a review, except to honestly report what it was like for me. I missed a lot of the commentary with Ira's quick switching from him speaking to recorded dialogue or video dialogue. It was not as enjoyable as it had hoped it would be.

My wife's been a huge Ira Glass fan for decades. Was a huge treat for her and for me to see the smile he put on her face.

It was very fantastic and very wonderful! It inspired me in my writing!

We struggled with the venue. We were dazzled by the preconcert animation. Ira was himself, his messaging useful and entertaining. Overall I’d rather watch him on PBS with some props. The online locked student ticket prices were painful and should include Seniors. TWO people in the audience raised their hands when Ira asked a show of hands by students. We could have filled 10-12 empty seats at $25.00 with Ira’s PBS friends over 65 . We are over 70 years, seek lessons and paid $100 for tkts plus $100 round trip for Uber. How bout a City venue with a full house.

Such a treat to have Ira IRL with bonus visuals for what's normally just a voice. Stirring up all the emotions, he made time fly with his words- arresting, touching, humorous, & at times sad. Loved it many times over!

Overall Good, he spoke on many things personal and noteworthy in the news and other things. They didn't introduce him with his name or anything, he just walked out onstage. Thought he deserved more than that. Overall I'm glad I went.

The Ira Glass show was great. It deserved 5 stars - my wife and I really enjoyed it. However, when a show is scheduled to begin at 8:00 pm, it WOULD BE NICE if you opened your doors well before then. We arrived at 7:50 to a line that was NOT moving and went to the end of the line at 17th and Welton St - 2 and 1/2 blocks from the front door. We were seated around 8:20 and the show started a couple of minutes after that. (Absolutely no time for a cocktail or restroom).
