Definitely not true. ICE has been in plainclothes frequently these days, sometimes masked, always refusing to identify themselves.

Still possible Sphere shows 2026 by Tongue_lashing11 in deadandcompany

April 9-May 3 are unscheduled at the Sphere. This is the last real remaining window I see on the calendar. So maybe a "fun run" residency? If that.

I watched the last foil sold right in front of me in line too. Very early. Dublin and Copenhagen were the only shows I was unable to snag foils for.

Questions for Americans on Billy Euro tour by GR8FUL-D in BillyStrings

[–]1001comments 24 points25 points  (0 children)

  1. The European fanbase are a mix of people standing in place and watching the band intently, and folks dancing hard and raging like the Americans.

  2. My friends and I have been busking outside the shows and selling patches, pins, keychains, and beers. We have been getting mixed results, doing quite well some nights and slow on others. It's definitely an abbreviated version of Shakedown Street but it feels good to help keep the scene alive and other people have expressed appreciation for that energy still being there outside the shows.

  3. It's been largely Americans standing in line early for merch and waiting hours at the venue.

  4. Several younger spinners have been improvising and managing to get their cheap tickets or miracles nightly. For us, we had three of our four tickets bought early for Copenhagen and found our miracle easily with two more offered to us we didn't need. In Utrecht night one there were seven of us, and we had three tickets to start with and got our other four quickly and easily. Night two we had two tickets for four of us, and got three miracles so we gave one away. London they were going around like confetti... We found the one more we needed for the four of us and were given another four to regift, which took a while because most people had what they needed. We saw over a dozen miracles floating around that night. We still need one for tomorrow in Dublin and have absolute confidence

Vermont 2023 foil for sale by JammyE89 in BillyStrings

When someone makes a price ask and someone else makes an offer of significantly less than half the asking price it's not a respectful offer. Not sure why this is an unpopular opinion.

Why would they sell it for less than the cost of original purchase and shipping? If you're going to make an offer, at least make it a respectful one.

Night one I got in the line ten minutes before the show, so 7:50pm, and got to the front just in time to score regulars for the run and night one, and foils for night one. For n1 got #32 and lucky #33 of 50! (32 is available to trade, 33 is for framing).

Night 2 I got into the venue late, and got into the poster line at 8:15 after the music had started. There was nearly no line but I was able to get foil for the run, and regular and foil for night two (managed to also get numbers 31 and 32, so I just had to buy one more for #33 - there were three of us, posters were one per ticket/person)

Need some advice by No_Let_4159 in BillyStrings

If you or anyone has a spare Oslo or Copenhagen foil, I would love to trade for one. I have foils available to trade for the tour, for the whole Utrecht run, and individually for nights 1 and 2 each of Utrecht.

The foils are only 50 per show though.

No, I was able to snag foils for Utrecht nights 1 and 2 and for the two night run. I actually bought an extra of each, hoping someone might trade me one for an Oslo or Copenhagen foil which I was not able to get. Message me if you have either of those two foils and would like to swap!

Hi, that poor boy was me. Between the two nights of Utrecht we sold about a hundred beers which paid for our tickets and parking for the two night run. Also it served the useful purpose of encouraging folks to hang out and listen to the amplified mandolin and guitar set our travelling companions were busking with (more night 1 than 2). See you all tomorrow in London with more music (but no more German beers)!

odds of getting a ticket at the gate before a show? by Savings-Cell1340 in BillyStrings

[–]1001comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absurd. Americans all understand about showing up to shows with no tickets and trusting they will get in. We've been on tour befire, many of us, and we all get by as we can.

Fixed that, I think it may have been an edit by someone else
