Apologies for the naivete of this question as I'm a big HS fan but not a big message board/online guy when it comes to bands and stuff - how does one become eligible for the Unified Scene presale? Is it just being a member of this forum or is there something else I should be signing up for?

When they brought up the UK I was fully prepared to hear them say 'are you crazy? We can't come all the way over there just for one of these shows' so to hear even the tiniest remote possibility lifted my spirits immensely. Still got hope on a technicality - thanks for pointing that out Craig.

Coming in from Nebraska and planning on being there all three nights. Can't wait -- will be my first show(s) at the Brooklyn Bowl.

What does this mean for the pic of MJ down here in North Cackalacky on the original puzzle page announcement? I can't see myself going back to Brooklyn.

What does this mean for the pic of MJ down here in North Cackalacky on the original puzzle page announcement? As much as I (understandably) assume you'd like to speculate a Cat's Cradle show is in the works and as much as one could conspire that it was intended as a hint towards the Brooklyn shows since MJ was born there, I am guessing it was simply an error posting him in his UNC uni instead of the Bulls' gear to tease the Chicago festival show. I believe these "limited number of shows" were the deal all along (except Toronto may have been added late because it made sense geographically and on the calendar). Like I tried to say many times earlier and lower expectations, there were never plans for a "tour" in 2016.

If a super-rad jelly mogul MBA student was looking for a place to crash between his families' thanksgiving in NYC and those three brooklyn bowl dates... would anyone have any good ideas of a place he might stay?

Still got hope on a technicality - thanks for pointing that out Craig. I think those comments raise the chance of at least one UK show to about 80/20 in favour tbh. Much as I would love to go to the Brooklyn shows (come on lottery numbers!) I'm feeling that us UK scene people will get a chance to celebrate at some point. Hell, if I had the money and any idea of how to do it I'd book the show myself!

Really wish they had booked a bigger venue for these shows. Brooklyn Bowl's capacity is 600 people. MHOW holds 550 and the 10th anniversary tickets were a tough get. Looking at my facebook feed, I see a lot of people wanting to come in from out of town for these shows.

Are they going to the Pledge Music website? I logged in and there is nothing new about tickets going on sale in less than 24 hours? Any thoughts on how to get tickets via Unified Scene?

In a strange turn of events (not really; just found a cheap flight and a friend to stay with), I'll be in Denver.
I shouldn't go to Chicago, but I'll probably be in Chicago.

Refreshed exactly at 10am, they were available, then when I clicked get tickets, they were gone. Stupid bots. Anybody have an extra two saturdays?

I hoped for an atom bomb of shows... expected a bottle rocket... we wound up with a wet fart. :/
