In, all three shows. Just have to find a place to stay. Other than the super exclusive high dollar ones, there is only one hotel in that area of Brooklyn and it is LaJolie and it runs about $300 a night for their tiny rooms. While it is located literally next to the BQE, it is modestly upscale, pretty quiet, and the staff is great. Really your only decent bet is AirBnB.

I got lucky and this morning snagged two tickets for Saturday, so now I'm in for all three. Huzzah!

Back in 2012, I think it was, Craig and Tad ended up on the roster of artists performing during a Jerry Garcia tribute show. I always wondered how they ended up involved in that. Kind of an odd fit. There was some great moments during that show, which I watched via live stream. It was pretty late in the show when Craig and Tad sat in for one or two songs. Anyhow, I've been waiting for a few years now to find out the backstory. Craig has a Dancing Bear on his guitar. Pretty sure he's a Deadhead I think the story was that some girl gave him that sticker. Pretty sure it's been covered up or replaced since. Regardless, that wouldn't explain how he and Tad ended up on the bill.

Not sure about the recent solo festival appearances he's made, though.

My girlfriend and I are coming up from Richmond, VA to spend all three nights at The Brooklyn Bowl with all of you wonderful people and The Hold Steady.
I have also started a thread for those of us attending the VIP Happy Hour and Soundcheck with the band on 12/2 to introduce ourselves in the months leading up to the show! It's a "ROLL CALL" thread on this forum!

Hey everyone. I am coming out of my social cave in Canada to make my way to the shows. Last time I did it was at the horseshoe tavern residency (I'm the person who yelled "Bring it Stove!" In the spinners recording) and i had a good time, but had to leave night 4 early due to being groped and made u comfortable by bros.
Keeping my fingers crossed and attitude positive that this will be a celebration and will feel safe.
Got tickets for Saturday and Thursday, and will try to find a Friday ticket via here, Craigslist or scalping. No sense driving and not seeing all three.

Heads up everyone. Brooklyn Bowl's website shows that they have reserved a LIMITED number of tickets that will be available for purchase on the day of the show each night. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis and the box office will open at 6 PM each night. $45 per ticket.

Weird, I swore I remember a discussion about the sticker being gone some months ago...

Though I hate to even suggest it, there are apparently a fair amount of tickets on stubhub, as noted in the "sour grapes" thread in this forum. Like, a bunch of tickets. For like triple to five times the price. Who the fuck are these people? Asses, that's who.

Craig's somewhat of a Deadhead.
In for all of 'em. See ya there!

I got two for Saturday and managed to trade my way into all three.
I'm now tempted to try to get a ticket for the extra Wednesday show.
It'll actually be my first THS show after almost a decade of being a fan.
I'm stoked.

Question about the merch tickets: If you don't get the tickets that include a shirt and poster, is there any way to buy them at the show? I would guess so, and that they're just doing it this way to guarantee some sales, but I just want to confirm!

Oh my god I'm so nervous. I've been waiting for years to see these guys live and I can only afford two tickets, and I got the ones for Friday. I'm terrified the show won't be BOMBASTIC because it's two shows into a four-night set. Fellow fans help me out, it's dumb but I'm panicking.

Steve AND Franz playing together for the first time! Fear not!

Seeing as I had to settle for Thursday tickets, I'll be happy to take the Friday pair off your hands. In all seriousness, stop panicking. It could be the last of a 20 night run and it would still be the best damn show you've ever seen.

My question also - again I have not gotten an email. I don't understand as I have always received them in the past.

I was just blasting Spinners at a volume likely unsafe for the longterm health of my eardrums...
Goddamn that song could sound so cool with Franz playing on it... you can imagine the flourishes he might add...
Will be really cool to hear HiW/Teeth Dreams tracks with Franz live!
