If you like…I am on the Edgefield Promotions email list and I just got an email from them regarding tomorrow’s presale, sounds like the venue is doing their own presale as well.
Anyways, in the email it has a small write up on The National including this…
View attachment 165089
…I would like to meet the person who likes even one of the other bands listed there that is Unfamiliar with The National. Their musical taste would have to be microscopically narrow.
Who is this is for? Is there a person who likes War on Drugs and/or Fleet Foxes who is unfamiliar with The National? I want to meet this person. Are there a lot of Father John Misty fans that have never heard a National song? I get that maybe some folks might like Death Cab and not care for The National but surely they’ve tested those waters by now.If you like Sad Dad Music, I think you'll dig The National's vibe.
This isn’t what we want to hear but the more I think about it…Who is this is for? Is there a person who likes War on Drugs and/or Fleet Foxes who is unfamiliar with The National?

Good news – by the looks of the Edgefield website, both shows appear to be general admission. Hopefully, they realized that the experience was greatly diminished for most folks.Does the venue have seating? The 3 shows out here typically do not, they are more like open parks than amphitheaters. (though @hatfieldpdx did state that they now do some limited assigned seating at Edgefield)
Removed! Sorry was posting for those who sometimes don’t get the emailYou forgot the part of the email that said (their caps, not mine):
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE OR POST THIS CODE AS IT WILL ONLY MAKE TICKET ACCESS HARDER
Ditto. Though it’s probably been posted to The National’s Subreddit multiple times by now. Still I suppose we shouldn’t let Reddit set the bar.Removed! Sorry was posting for those who sometimes don’t get the email
Anyone who quoted the original message should probably edit it out, too, maybe?You forgot the part of the email that said (their caps, not mine):

Maybe delete the code? I imagine this thread comes up when googling/looking for codes?
There ya go.Anyone who quoted the original message should probably edit it out, too, maybe?
I suppose you’re right though, I would imagine if they’re streaming one of those artists on Spotify, it wouldn’t take too long for The National to show up in their algorithm.This isn’t what we want to hear but the more I think about it…
That RIYL might be for young people who aren’t 40. Lol. And who are hearing these old bands for the first time now.
Is that a sad dad
It’s a great venue - I’ll be there too!Heading to Denver on 8/11...never been to the Mission Ballroom. Looks sweet.
