Break the Code to See Author Dan Brown at The Bushnell

Dan Brown

Dan Brown, author of "The DaVinci Code," "Inferno" and numerous bestsellers, will stop by Hartford June 7 in a fundraising appearance for the Mark Twain House and Museum.

It's a rare on-stage appearance for Brown, who will engage in conversation with WNPR radio personality John Dankosky at The Bushnell. Tickets will go on sale to the public at 10 am Friday, Jan. 10, but Mark Twain House and Museum members can get a jump on the sales Tuesday, Jan. 7, also at 10 am.

Members will be issued a special code for these early purchases by e-mail -- a word so secret, with such arcane properties, that it will grant them this unusual power. To achieve this status, non-members can join by going to www.marktwainhouse.org and clicking "Memberships," or by clicking here, or by calling (860) 280-3112. 

Tickets range in price from $25 to $75. There will be a limited number of $250 VIP tickets available that include a pre-event reception with a chance to meet and chat with Brown; premium VIP orchestra seating locations at The Bushnell event; and a pre-signed copy of "Inferno."
