What a great weekend! I drove up to Bayfield Wisconsin and saw Avett play under the big top and then followed them back to my hometown of Minneapolis and saw them at the Basilica Block Party. Both performances were absolutely great! Got to chat with Scott and Bobby for a bit before their show in Minneapolis. What great humble people. I have now seen them in four states and will continue to see them every chance I get. Cheers to the Avett Brothers!

Can.

Wait.
Woo Hoo!!!
Taking my 6 y.o. to see the Avetts rock in person!

I decided to go with the more intimate show in Northern Wisconsin instead.

As a former North Carolinian-now-Minnesotan, I was bummed to miss them a month or two ago. And now I get to ring in my birthday with one of the world's greatest bands!

They went on sale at Noon CST.
Hopefully this works... not sure if passwords are randomly generated for each email (?)

I'm excited not only to see The Avett Bros. but to see them at the place where I was baptized! Never been there as an adult.

Didn't get the email, but found a password or two...

CITIES97

or

TREASURE

Depending on which set of tickets you order.

Thanks for posting that website...

I went to the ticketmaster website... and you can purchase pre-sale tickets... but you have to have the password. I'll assume that is what is supposed to come in the email.

Has anyone received the email yet?

I haven't received the email yet.

Would someone please post the instructions here when they receive the email?

I don't know whose local market time they're talking about but I have now subscribed to the e-mail list probably five times to make sure I get an e-mail but haven't gotten one yet. Every time I click on "Buy Tickets" it sends me to e-mail subscription page. This is kind of frustrating. Who, after all, is getting these e-mails?

If someone gets the email, please post the info here.

I need to get tix to that show!

Did anyone else get the email? I didn't. PANIC!!!

I was in Minn,MN when you guys played First Avenue last month. Lisa (my best sister friend since 1982) and I have been huge die hard Prince fans and always said we'd go to all his old stomping grounds one day. It took over 25 years but we finally went and it was due to you darling Avetts playing there. While we were there Lisa and I went all over, our first stop was the Basilica of St. Mary's. There I took in the energy of such lovely beauty I can't put to words to make sense, but I will say we were deeply moved in our souls and humbled by the light. Lisa is having her first child in September, so we lite a candle there for her little baby in her belly, and I lite three for my three grandmothers. We also went to the Walker museum...a collection of uniqueness I highly recommend I wish we could see you fellas playing there. Hope someone from Crackerfarm films the show....it's a show I would love to own.
