    EVERY SINGLE TIME Floater plays it’s an INSANE show! I saw them once before and it was the ENTIRE Animals album by Pink Floyd. If you’re wondering why I had so many things in caps it’s because it was INSANE haha. Seriously, though….sooooooo sick

    I’d love to see Floater bring their powerful live show to the Crystal Ballroom—an unforgettable night in the perfect Portland venue!

    I remember sitting in my car, alone in the woods, blasting the song Cinema…or was I in the movie Event Horizon? It was dark, it was both. And that’s why I’d love to see Floater live!

    I have been a dedicated fan of Floater since the age of 14, and each performance I have attended has consistently exceeded my expectations. Witnessing your remarkable talent and the vibrant energy of the audience, you truly captivate the venue. Last year, I had the pleasure of bringing my children to your Halloween show in P-Town. It was their inaugural concert experience, and they have since become enthusiastic Floater fans! I would be delighted to receive two tickets for my husband and me.

    I would LOVE to see FLOATER at the Crystal Ballroom! (fingers crossed)

      I’m a avid Floater Fan, seeing them several times throughout the years 🎼☮️🎼

  6. Chris Pharis on August 20, 2026 at 9:49 am

    I have seen Floater countless times, and their shows NEVER cease to amaze me! I’ve been to going to see them since the late 90’s, at a small community center in Post Falls Idaho. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting all the guys, except the new drummer. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to a show in 9 years. I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THEN AGAIN!!!
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

  9. Dan Anderson on August 20, 2026 at 10:26 am

    I have seen Floater many times over the past 30 years, including Chico, Seattle, Tacoma…but never the classic Crystal Ballroom. One BIG problem now, I live in Missouri. I am going to fly out for this event, and would love to connect with some old friends for this LEGENDARY SHOW!

  10. Tiffany Hill on August 20, 2026 at 11:01 am

    I would love to take my 16 year old son to his 3rd Floater show here in Portland and the magical Crystal Ballroom! He’s been hooked from the first show! Love us some Floater🫶

  11. Penny Giampietro on August 20, 2026 at 11:03 am

    Can’t wait to see another unforgettable halloween performance!!

  12. UB on August 20, 2026 at 11:35 am

    Oh please please please. I’ve been listening to them since I was a kid, and have been vying for tickets for this show but am a super broke hard working small biz owner. I tried to go last year n an abusive ex made the night absolutely miserable. I want to rewrite with positive memories so badly!

  13. Hailee on August 20, 2026 at 12:00 pm

    My dad first took me to see floater when I was 12 – I’m 32 now! His 60th birthday is next week. This would be an awesome gift!!

  14. Kimi Martinez on August 20, 2026 at 12:30 pm

    Fan since the 90’s .Have never heard/seen them at this venue and would love to experience such an epic band in such a beautiful historic location 🩶

  15. Anthony on August 20, 2026 at 12:52 pm

    They haven’t been down in southern oregon for so long that i realize i need to go to them. I used to enjoy seeing them once or twice a year, but they dont play here any more and its been years. They were my kids first concert. I would love to see them again.

  16. Brook on August 20, 2026 at 1:33 pm

    I’ve been listening to Floater since I was in the womb. I’d love to take my mom to go see our favorite band! 6.5 hour road trip but they are definitely worth it 🙂

  17. Carmen on August 20, 2026 at 2:04 pm

    I love Floater and would love to see them again live. It’s always a great experience!

  18. Brittney Rossich on August 20, 2026 at 2:12 pm

  20. Angela Anderson on August 20, 2026 at 2:21 pm

    Floater is one of my favorite groups. I saw them play downtown Bend when they were just starting. I would to see them play in the Crystal Ballroom again. Best place to see a show!

  21. Samantha Gomez on August 20, 2026 at 2:22 pm

    I’ve loved Floater for years, and my fiancee loves them as well. They were his first concert, and we have never seen them live together. We are getting married on October 13th and hoping they will be our first concert together as newlyweds!

  22. Alexander Carlberg on August 20, 2026 at 3:03 pm

    One of the best live shows in the PNW, everyone if friendly and always inviting. Ot really is a special experience that I cherish and look forward to seeing them perform.

  23. Kevin on August 20, 2026 at 3:23 pm

    Followed them for over 30 years and have never been able to see them live.

    • Randy Bakko on August 20, 2026 at 9:40 pm

      Floater is an amazing band and I would love to see them again. Not to mention i love Portland and I haven’t been to the Crystal ballroom in years. Thanks for the opportunity to win. 🤞

  24. Amanda on August 20, 2026 at 5:09 pm

    I’ve been a floater fan my whole life, they were my first tattoo at 18!!! I would absolutely love to win tickets bc I had already decided I can’t afford to go…. I would be so stoked to win!!!

  25. Matt Iverson on August 20, 2026 at 6:43 pm

    I’ve been listening to Floater since I was 18, which is 30 years ago now. They used to hang out at my local, Vic’s and we became drinking acquaintances; I never told them how much I loved their band at first because I was trying to seem cool. I dunno if it worked but they kept drinking with me!
    Haven’t seen them in at least 8 years, help me get to this show and save $$$!! Please! Thank you!

  26. Angie Mendenhall on August 20, 2026 at 7:55 pm

    We are long time Floater Fans & now our son is too 🤗🤗🤗

  27. Tara on August 20, 2026 at 8:29 pm

    Floate is so amazing I love them so much.

  28. David Alan Cook on August 21, 2026 at 12:56 am

    Because its FLOATER! THATS WHY!! Pretty simple

  29. Crystal stone on August 21, 2026 at 3:42 am

    Floater’s music has been the soundtrack to my life since I was about 15. I’m 43 now. They are like no other. We’ve passed the love of floater to our 3 kids. It’s been a struggle to see them since we moved up to the Spokane area but we’ve seen them twice there. We’ve never been to a Halloween show. It’s on my bucket list lol if there’s someone more deserving that’s ok. Happy to have a chance.

  30. Inanna on August 21, 2026 at 5:36 am

    From the time I was 14 I never missed a Central oregon floater concert after my best friend (still my best friend) introduced me to them. Now I’m 30, and I’ve introduced my teenager to them too. I love how there’s a song for everyone. So many different styles and emotions all in one song.

  31. Noah Smyth on August 21, 2026 at 8:17 am

    Just like everyone else, I have core memories of seeing floater with my dad when I was in middle school. My dad and I are very close and we haven’t been to a floater show in years, it would be awesome to see them again!

  32. Travis H on August 21, 2026 at 11:47 am

    First saw Floater in 2005 & had my hair blown back. Been to dozens of shows in the willamette valley since then & have even rang in the New Year w/ them a couple of times. My experiences seeing them live have all been unforgettable & their music is the shit. I’d love to see Rob break out the Dork bass & a screwdriver one more time! RIP Pete 🙁

  33. Peter Stauffer on August 22, 2026 at 6:59 am

    My daughter wants to take her friend to see the show!

  34. Aaron Climer on August 22, 2026 at 4:29 pm

    Oh my goodness! My Wife has heard about Ya’ll through the music listen to and she’s a fan. I’d love to take her to one of your shows! Ive seen Ya’ll at the McDonald and one time in Portland at the Crystal Ballroom. What a cool opportunity, thank you!

  35. Ally on August 22, 2026 at 4:58 pm

    My mom took me to my first floater concert as a high school graduation gift AND IT WAS THE BEST !! It was my second time seeing them in concert and I’ve been getting tickets to shows when they come to Portand or Eugene if I want to make a fun road trip

  36. Michelle Horning on August 23, 2026 at 11:34 am

    Have seen Floater more than any other band since 1998, but haven’t seen them in years! Would love to catch up and see a show!!

  37. Michael on August 24, 2026 at 6:30 pm

    My first Floater show was in Eugene back in 1997. My friend took me for the first time. And many times after that. This was the first real Rock show I had ever been to. Mosh pit at all. I went into a trance. The music send me to this state of inner peace of which I hadn’t experienced before. Every time I have gone to a Floater show since, I made a new friend, heard a new favorite song, and come out a better person than I was before.

    Floater is an experience! And even if I don’t win, I think whoever gets this will be blessed.

    I remember running into Pete (rip) a few times. One when I was working at The Drum Shop in Portland. One time I was at OSU, and Pete was knocking on the door. I was in shock. Starstruck. Took me a second to realize that the door was locked lol. I promptly opened the door. And he was just his chill self like thanks dude.

    Another time, I was at the Wow Hall and Rob was walking up. He said hi and I said hi. But I was just in awe.

    These guys were the soundtrack of my youth.

    I haven’t been to any shows in quite some time. I did see Dramatica, and one of Rob’s solo sets a few years back.

    Now as a middle aged man I look back fondly at my time sharing my experience with these awesome folks!

  38. Teri Maurer on August 24, 2026 at 7:10 pm

    Would love to feel their raw, hypnotic, intense PNW energy and be apart of the Floater powerful community. PICK ME PLEASE! 🤘😎

  39. earl on August 26, 2026 at 4:37 pm

  40. Jennifer on September 8, 2026 at 1:10 pm

    Yes, please! This would be an amazing experience. Thank you for the opportunity.

  41. Emily L on September 8, 2026 at 7:38 pm

    Oooh, make some dreams come true, will you please? Thank you.

  42. Marychris Mass on September 15, 2026 at 3:10 pm

    Because I know Rob and miss seeing him play live!!!!!

  43. Paul Alvarez on September 15, 2026 at 3:36 pm

    If I scored free tickets, I’d rock out so hard they’d have to tighten up the Crystal Ballroom floor afterward!

  44. Beck on September 15, 2026 at 5:10 pm

    We need the opportunity to see them and experience their sound live!

  45. amber S nicosia on September 26, 2026 at 12:56 pm

    I just found this band! They sound like such a fantastic time.

  46. Mikaela McShane on September 29, 2026 at 11:59 am

    What an epic show! Would love to finally see them live at our favorite PDX venue.

  47. Brig on September 29, 2026 at 12:50 pm

    I would like to win these tickets for my martial arts instructor.

  48. Faith W on September 30, 2026 at 2:34 pm

    Floater @ The Crystal Ballroom is always amazing!

  49. Cory on October 1, 2026 at 6:17 pm

  50. Galen on October 2, 2026 at 12:54 pm

  51. Lorraine Kaye Wesolowski on October 6, 2026 at 12:52 pm

    I’ve heard so much about this band, but have never seen them. This would be great.
