Hello, Acquired listeners, and happy summer, David.
Happy summer indeed. I feel like a kid let out of school.
I know. You just got back from Hawaii. Are you feeling refreshed?
I am feeling as refreshed and relaxed as the father of a three-month-old and three-year-old can possibly be.
Yeah, I bet. We'll get to that in Carvouts, I'm sure. Yeah. Listeners, we, after 10 years straight of never taking any time off of Acquired, we were doing like six weeks off over the summer. And it turns out that doesn't actually mean six weeks off of work for you and I, David. It means six weeks of not making an episode. Because we are putting all of our energy and focus into September 10th at the Chase Center. David, what are we doing? Yeah.
Hell yeah. Chase Center live show in partnership with our good friends at JPMorgan Payments. This is going to be, as many of you have already heard, the biggest thing that we have ever done. This is where the Warriors play. It's the brand new arena in the middle of downtown San Francisco. And Mark Zuckerberg is going to be there with us on stage. He's only one of the acts that we are planning. We've been very, very busy. We're pulling out all the stops. It's going to be an amazing event.
Yeah, we'll have some fun surprises for everyone that we're not planning to share in advance. So if you're free September 10th, or if you can make yourselves free, be in San Francisco. It's funny, we announced many months ago on the show, save the date, but then we actually haven't had an episode since tickets have been on sale. And so despite the fact that we emailed a lot of you and we tweeted and we put it in the Slack, David and I were on the phone yesterday and we were like, huh, we should probably let People who just listen to the podcast and don't follow Acquired anywhere else know about it, too. So Acquired.fm slash SF. We really hope to see you there. Our goal is really just to feel like the biggest celebration and community of like-minded listeners possible, almost like the Omaha for tech or Omaha on the West Coast.
It's going to be great. Listeners are organizing a bunch of events around the show itself in the days before and after. It's going to be really kind of like the Omaha weekend. So if you want to stay up to date on all of that, look for announcements in the Slack in the coming weeks.
Yep. And feel free to plan your own too. At the end of the day, even before announcing this on the podcast here, there are several thousand of you who have bought tickets and are coming. And so no one venue except for the Chase Center is going to hold us all anyway. So if you're coming and you want to plan dinners or happy hours or company meetups or anything, please just feel free to take the initiative, do that, post in Slack. We'd love for it to happen.
The other thing we should say here, there's two ticket prices, all in price. It's $100 for floor seats, which are almost gone at this point in time, and $50 for everywhere else in the arena. That's it. That's all in. That includes Ticketmaster fees. We're pretty sure this is the cheapest event that has ever been put on. ticket price wise at the Chase Center. Definitely not the cheapest event production budget wise, but we're really proud of that. We want this to be open and available and accessible to everybody. We want as many of you there as can make it. This is like a party that we want to throw for everyone.
Yep. Well, David, now that we have a few minutes here and we're not mid-episode, should we reflect on the last few months in acquired land? We thought listeners would be interested in a little bit of a peek behind the scenes.
It's been a hell of a ride the last couple of months, Ben. I don't think I've even really till leaving for Hawaii, whatever it was 10 days ago, had a chance to stop and reflect on this. My second daughter was born at the end of April. And then the Wall Street Journal article about us came out, I think like two weeks later. So it's just been a whirlwind.
