Gather ’round… we’ve got a mighty great show to tell y’all about: LUCERO and Built to Spill are going to co-headline Fitzgeralds in Houston, TX on March 12th. Tickets go on sale on Dec 16 for this show. We’ll post a link on the 16th. And… hint hint… you might want to look here or our facebook tomorrow for some more news…

Hey folks, we have a few ticketing notes to share with you….

1. On Thanksgiving Day we announced on facebook that we would be giving free tickets to the first 10 Men and Women showing an active Military ID at the Minglewood Hall show (12/22) in Memphis. In the wake of that, a few people said they would like to anonymously buy a ticket for a member of the armed services, so here is what we are gonna do: if you want to buy/donate a ticket for person in uniform just CLICK HERE and buy one! We have 20 tickets set aside for this. Also, if 20 people buy tickets but only 14 are claimed then the last 6 folks to buy/donate tickets will be refunded. Make sense? Up to 30 brave men and women could see the show for free…

2. Tickets to the show in Normal, IL are SOLD OUT. Thanks to those who bought tickets in advance / sorry to those who can’t come because it’s sold out.

3. Reminder about NYE tour: you can still buy tickets to through LUCERO TICKETING for shows in Little Rock, Memphis, and Winston-Salem (our allotments for philly, brooklyn and boston are sold-out). General-public tickets for Philly, Brooklyn and Boston are selling fast. Get tickets while you can, these shows will sellout.

4. If you live in NYC (or nearby) and you love both Lucero and Deer Tick, take note: Brooklyn Bowl is offering tickets to BOTH shows for $60***. (SHOW LISTING / TICKET LINK)
***To be clear the bands are NOT playing together, but you can buy a combo-pack of tickets that gives you a discount on the Deer Tick show on NYE. Make sense? Last note: if you’ve already purchased a Lucero ticket for Brooklyn Bowl and you want to take advantage of the offer for a reduced Deer Tick ticket use this code at checkout: NYE2011TIX
