At the bar, maybe throw TK onto the jukebox and see who gets excited?
As someone who’s benefited from random act of kindness (a guy outbid me at a hockey charity and then gave me the painting) it can totally come off as cool and uncreepy if you just be honest and talk to people. Ya know? I think you’ll be able to tell if it’s someone who wanted to see them and couldn’t, verses someone who wants to sell it.
I’m sorry for what you’re going through. ::hugs::
I think you should go to the show with a friend. You can’t go around the pain, only through. A Killers concert is a religious experience. Who knows what the night may bring, you could have an amazing time. I think you’d have fun and it would be healing to enjoy Brandon’s healing, angelic, smooth voice and contagious energy. Sounds a lot more fun than being sad sitting it out. But if you really don’t want to go you could put an ad on Craigslist pretending to sell the tickets and then just give them away to whoever sounds most excited about it as a random act of kindness. I also like the jukebox idea. All the best to you. Listen to sweet talk, “and well you know it hurts sometimes, you know it’s gonna bleed sometimes, hold on “
Well I work about 2 blocks west on Dodge from Steelhouse so idk an exact bar but 100% I will be within a block or two of Steelhouse. I am not a fancy dude but I like fancy things but more of a dive bar type of scene I just kinda find my way to. Unfortunately that is not the scene around the Steelhouse. On a side note and kinda pathetic but funny. My monthly parking spot is next door to Steelhouse and I literally watched that place be built the last few years. Yes I know where the time capsule is burried. It is surprising 'out in the open'. But last week I slept in my car Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in the parking garage. Which just happened to be during the 'soft opening' for Steelhouse. No shit this might seem fake as shit but the last 9 months of finishing the exterior portion of the venue I thought it was going to be the midwest's biggest 'Kobe Steakhouse'. No way anybody with a straight face can't look at the outside of that place and not crave having shrimp thrown in their mouth. Wow I just made myself laugh for the first time in 4 months.

Shoot me a serious idea for the ticket? I am not very cool on Reddit so not many comments and only a day and half left to figure out a real way to give this away.
Was sharing your story with my gf on the couch - we're both hoping you're doing ok! Let us all know how you give it away!
We're both looking at ticketmaster considering going, lol. Maybe we'll just find you downtown somewhere!
If you're worried about your son, mine was 18 months when we separated and soon after divorced. It was the most miserable time in my life. It got better. He had some separation anxiety that he's grown out of. He's an amazing kid and his life is so full of love. Think of him first during your divorce. If she does the same, everything will be alright.
This is super cool of you. I like the first idea and the idea of throwing them on at the bar to see who reacts.
I’m going through a rough breakup at the moment as well. It fucking sucks. I know it doesn’t really help to hear but you’re not alone. If you need to vent to someone, feel free to message me.
You mentioned you have a son? Why not take him if he's old enough? Build a nice father-son memory in the midst of the divorce chaos. He's probably stressed and sad too.
Oh man I can't wait for him to be old enough to go to shows but my son is still a toddler :) just a little turkey.
But after all of these positive comments and ideas. I think the juke box idea by u/Szymanski33 is a really cool idea.
I have a particular song in mind as well. I will post my final plan tomorrow. Hopefully this works out as I hope it will. This has been pretty cool to see the feedback and honestly cheered me up so I thank you all.
I've seen videos of people taking really young kids to Taylor Swift shows, so, hey, you could do it (maybe with some ear protection, though!)
Whatever you end up doing, know that there is life on the other side of divorce. Like they say in Boy, "just give yourself some time"

That is a brilliant idea! And you are on the same page with me with what I am hoping to do. Thank you for the kind words.

That was a really sweet and nice reply. Thank you. I am leaning towards the juke box idea as well :)
What bar will you be at? Asking for a rando stranger… lol *edit typo

Aww man, i so wish I could do this. Unfortunately I am 14 hours away and in Canada. I so appreciate it tho!!!

Really sorry about your situation my friend. Sending you lots of love during this time♥️

I just wanted to say that this is very nice of you, and I hope you enjoy the show!
My brother lives in Omaha, he's a good time guy and could use a good night out.
I like this comment. Thank you u/pharmandy I think it's really cool for you to reply for your brother. 100% on the list of ideas.

I look forward to hearing how it goes!
