Love Mumford & Sons but don't want to drop at least $60 to see them play at Bankers Life Fieldhouse? There is another opportunity to see them — and this one is free.

The Grammy-winning folk rock band will play a live acoustic set at Indy CD & Vinyl in Broad Ripple at 3 p.m., just hours before their March 25 concert. The three-song performance will be followed by a signing and a meet-and-greet.

More than 6,400 people have expressed interest in attending the show on a Facebook page for the event, which is titled "Mumford & Sons live at Indy CD & Vinyl (yes, really)."

Indy is never boring. Don't miss the biggest announcements and the best recommendations.

Of course, capacity at the independent record store is a fraction of 6,400.

Indy CD & Vinyl co-owner Andy Skinner said an equal amount of free tickets will be distributed across 10 days to give fans a shot at attending the in-store event.

Skinner said he's awaiting word from the state fire marshal on how many people will be allowed safely in the store, 806 Broad Ripple Ave.

If, for instance, the number is 250 people, 25 tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis from March 16 through show day on the 25th.

Indy CD & Vinyl opens at 10 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at noon Sunday through Thursday.

"We're trying to figure out the most fair way to give everybody kind of equal access to this very limited amount of tickets to an in-store," Skinner said.

It's also possible to win a VIP experience for the event. For every $50 someone spends at CD & Vinyl, the customer will be eligible for a drawing a few days before the show.

Three winners will receive two tickets each, a vantage point next to the stage and a gift bag from the store and other Broad Ripple businesses.

"If someone lives far away, they can even call and buy something over the phone to get their name in for that," Skinner said.

Skinner said the parent company of Island Records, the band's label since 2009 debut album "Sigh No More," contacted the store about hosting the event.

"The band is a friend of physical retail and always has been," Skinner said. "I don't want to put words in their mouths, but a band of that status needs things to keep them grounded and closer to fans. Here's something intimate to do before they go play in front of (16,000) people at Bankers Life."

Beer will be available for everyone aged 21 and older with a valid ID, according to the Indy CD & Vinyl Facebook event page.

Mumford & Sons at Bankers Life Fieldhouse

Tickets to Mumford & Sons' Bankers Life Fieldhouse show at 7:30 p.m. March 25 are still available, but they aren't cheap. Balcony seats start at $60 as of Feb. 6, and general admission floor seats start at $151.

The Indianapolis show is part of the band's Delta tour, named for its latest album "Delta." The album has received "mixed or average reviews" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Other stops on the Delta tour include Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Detroit and Chicago.
