Getting quite excited now! My hard tickets for the weekend have now arrived but nothing yet for the soundcheck on Friday. Looking back at the confirmation it implies that no physical ticket will be sent for the soundcheck. Is that the case? Any advice welcome... do you just turn up with the confirmation or should I be hassling See Tickets? Last time I just showed my gig ticket at the door for soundcheck.

For those of us who are not 100 percent familiar with London ... I've been once, in 2019, stayed above a pub in New Cross Gate. Was a newbie, no real idea where I was going. Wasn't a bad spot, just a bit off the beaten path for everything I wanted to do.
Nabbed a hotel in Shoreditch for the week for this jaunt, because it was 15 minutes away by public transport from the Electric Ballroom, close-ish to MOTH Club and reasonably close by train to Watford, where I'll be going for the match against Arsenal Sunday afternoon. (Don't ask me how I became an 'Orns supporter, typical American picking a random non-Big 6 club. Went to a match when I was there three years ago and the supporters couldn't have been more awesome. Sticking with them even in this relegation fight.)
Anyway, any recs on can't-miss spots in and around Shoreditch? I'm a middle-aged dude so I probably am not trying to late night it at clubs and such, but would love to know the lay of the land. Thanks all.

Presumably they have a name list to corroborate booking?

I am going to the Weekender From Chicago. I have tix for both electric ballroom shows. Does anyone have an extra moth club ticket for sale - I would really like to go? I have not been in London in a decade, any advice on other things going on throughout the weekend?

Folks, I still have a ticket for Friday night. I'm not looking for any $$$ for it, I just don't want it to go to waste. So if you can use it, and maybe if you're willing to donate a bit of $$$ to a charity you like, DM me.

it’s a good feeling to know next weekend I’ll be back in Camden for my 3rd weekender and this time introducing my daughter to the religious experience of the weekender

I'm keeping an eye on the page. It seems to be scam central though I know one guy that's selling on there

The livestream got announced earlier. From what I can gather the soundcheck is at 3.30pm and the Ballroom shows start at 8pm if that helps. The Hold Steady (@theholdsteady) Tweeted: The Hold Steady and @fansbelonghere are partnering to broadcast via livestream the year's two shows from Electric Ballroom, this coming Friday, March 4 and Saturday, March 5!

Anyone heard about the Sunday pub quiz? That seemed to sell out as quickly as the Moth Club! To be honest I’m not sure I would have bothered anyway with changing hotels that day (I’ve never bothered be it the Sunday lunch, the quiz, the Positive Rage screening for the same reason.) Part of me feels like I’m missing out on these added extras but the three shows take enough out of me without rushing somewhere else on Sunday afternoon. I’m much more likely to be found in a rough watering hole around the corner from my digs / the venue. I’m sure I’ll see some of you there!!

Anyone heard about the Sunday pub quiz? Nothing specific. But I'm guessing it will be something like the one in 2020: Held at a pub very close to the venue, at couple of hours before the gig. My guess would be somewhere on Mare St. at some time around 5pm on Sunday. The 2020 version was a lot of fun! Hosted by Michael Hann, who also did the interview after the screening of A Positive Rage in 2019. I hope to see you somewhere around there, tbob! And if anyone from my crew are unable to attend, I'll let you know, and maybe you can drop by. I'm staying close to Camden this weekend, somewhere just around the corner of the Mornington Crescent station. I figured we'll take a walk in the direction of Camden early Sunday, and just hang around in the area before the quiz and the show. I guess it will be a hassle getting back to Camden Sunday night, not to talk about the pretty early flight back to Norway (then picking up kids at school and kindergarden, and THEN bring them to two separate birthdays, ugh), but it will be nice for Friday and Saturday.

Anyone outside UK here who actually did recieve their tickets in the mail? I ordered four extra for Saturday, meant for people who were supposed to come along. They have all decided to stay home, and I would like to sell them on to members of this board. But it's a bit hard to plan for it, when I don't have them physically.

It's bit more hectic for me this year than previously - I'm coming down with my mum and two 15 year-olds rather than solo, and will be based in Surrey. Friday it'll be a bit of a rush to get back up to Camden, Saturday I'm taking the bairns. I'm solo on Sunday, and have a room at the Hackney Travel Lodge, so am less on a schedule. It would cool to meet up with folk at the pub quiz and beyond.

So is anyone up for a meet up before the Saturday show? I met a few folks on Saturday afternoon in 2020 in...was it the Prince Albert...the Admiral something? Good beer and food as I remember.
I'll be lurking around with Mrs. Repoman who thinks it's just weird that I want to meet people off of the internet that I don't know, but there you go.
In other news I've now had 3 emails inviting me to buy 4 cans of THS beer for £15 but still nothing about the soundcheck.

Tapping the Admiral is the pub you're trying to remember the name of....I forgot myself a few days ago, Tbob set me straight. Sound check email should be with you now.
