    1. Context: I saw Kesha at this venue in 2023, and apparently I’m still on the venue’s mailing list

      That’s common from The Rave. At some point you signed up for genres that interest you. Also their owner is a massive cunt

      I knew somebody who did roller derby in Racine, gave me free tickets at The Rave to see Ween in 2018. Sick venue, and apparently they do that shit sometimes

    4. Sounds like that police sting operation they did a while back to nab criminals. They sent them mail that said they won a prize and to go to an address and then when they got there, BAM. Ain’t no free lunch! Proceed with caution.

    5. I guess the real question is:

      Do you want to see RuPaul live?

      If so, lucky break. If not, give them to someone who does.

    6. Won’t someone be able take this image and have them scan the bar code to enter?
      It’s a thing at least in europe that some people post tickets online and then someone snatches them

    7. Having lived in Milwaukee the Rave does this all the time. I got tickets in the mail for years after I moved out of the city. These are “free”, but they are two drink minimum tickets. Which is why you have to be 21+ to redeem.

    8. This is pretty common from The Rave. They usually run bogos on concerts that aren’t selling well, and will eventually mail out free tickets to at least try and capture aome sort of revenue. Sometimes they hand out free ones at shows as well.

    9. The Rave used to always do “free” tickets that were actually 2 drink minimum tickets and you would pay at the door and be given your drink vouchers. Did a few shows like that about 15+ years ago. Didn’t realize they were still doing so.

    10. I was about to ask for tickets for my wife, but then realized it’s the RuPaul DJ set and not drag race related. That’s probably why the free tickets, had no clue they DJ’ed.

    11. Venue couldn’t sell the tickets, hoping you show up and pay ridiculous amounts of money for drinks and food.

    12. Not anymore you don’t. Never photograph tickets with barcodes. If someone wants these, they can just get there before you with the barcode.

    13. I wouldn’t post tickets with the bar code visible on here. You know, the bar code is all you need to get in. So anyone can just take a screenshot and go to the event.

    14. The good thing about posting these barcodes is that no one will bother to steal them from you

      I love the rave!! They do this sometimes. Maybe when tickets aren’t selling and they want to fill the space? Not sure. I got some free Benny the Butcher tickets a while ago.

    16. There was a story about a couple that received free Sinatra tickets. When they got home, they were robbed. Just saying.

    17. I’ve gotten free tickets in the mail from that venue too. They sent me Offspring tickets once, wasn’t able to use them though

    18. I’ve seen this one before. Are you a taxi driver? is the gig on Fhloston Paradise? Any strange girls show up recently?

      Never post a pic on the internet of the QR code or barcode on a gig ticket. Ppl will copy it and use the same code. Then you get there and your ticket is already consumed..
