Mats are claiming on their FB page that they sold 2/3 of the tickets in presales. Both of which sold out in under 15 minutes combined! May have to camp out at Midway tonight to get tickets. Damn.

I can't say we didn't see it coming. Because we have an incredible grasp of the obvious. |

You guys aren't idiots- a majority of tickets were sold in presale and the rest went within mere moments, from what I've gathered. I can't say I'm not jealous of the people who got them, but we knew it was going to be a scramble going in.

I luckily got 2 tickets Saturday morning. I was so anxious I let my wife try for the tickets, I didn't think I could handle the disappointment.
Anyway, I hope they are allowed to treat this show as co-headliners, I guarantee that a lot of the audience will be there for Craig and the guys. Personally I'm driving 5 hours and will be disappointed if they only get 40 minutes. I love the Mats, they helped me get thru my teen years, I'm looking forward to both equally, I just hope they get equal time.

That said, Lucero and THS are going to be so jazzed to share that stage, we'll get fantastic short sets from both of them. With any luck, you'll see Craig and Ben on stage during the Mats' encore. Can't wait. |

Brendan convinced me to get in on this.
Let's do this right, people.
Anyone know the venue's proximity to Lake Minnetonka? I need some purification.

I was already heading to MN for the Vikings games that Sunday against the Patriots and thus this gig could not have been better timed.
Careful hangover and jet lag management will be required. No doubt that will merely amount to a couple more drinks.

I would add ice cream at Izzy's and reubens and hamentashen at Cecil's. Walk around Minnehaha Park, Como Park, or the Sculpture Garden. |

They're sharing a bill again at the Boston Calling festival in September. Along with Neutral Milk Hotel, Spoon, the National, Nas & the Roots...definitely hitting up this one. Missed the spring Boston show.

Who is running the Hold Steady tour of Minneapolis for us first timers? Meet you at the Party City. We should have a unified meet up. I can't give much of Minneapolis tour because I don't go there that much, but I can show off (not quite the right word) Payne Ave, even though it's not what it was when the lyric was written. |
