Hollywood Bowl 2006

[neumdogg]

It's supposed to snow at 2000 ft today!!!!!!!!! Kicks ass. I love winter. :)
Are you at 2000 feet?

[lieinmygrave41]

this storm gave me a cold. :lorraine I am very very sick :(

and whats the deal, its just now raining!? Can't wait for these "snow flurries" haha

[mattyande]

I'm out in Palm Desert for work, and it snowed really low in the mountains out here... so beautiful... now only if the clouds would lift...

[Boingofan]

pfft. this is nothing, try being in this shizz for 10 years but 10x as cold.

[MAM2STEPN]

yes it is. I think that DMB should play for 2 nights, rather than 1. Especially living in SoCal. All the "radio" listeners come and they ruin it for the "real" fans :rolleyes but really, they do...You mean the one's who think WAYG is the best DMB song ever?:rolleyes

[MAM2STEPN]

well I will be coming from Texas ... I guess this year is the SO CAL tour ...

Texas ... Alpine .... So Cal ... and ??I talked my friend into going to this show with me!!!!:multi

Maybe I can meet up with you and the wifey for some tailgating.:D

[davehead34]

I don't think anyone can get used to the 405...or the 101.....or the 10....or the every other damn freeway!!

Yeah, I think the 15 is the worst. It's definitely my least favorite (after the 405).

[MAM2STEPN]

Another great thing about the Hollywood Bowl is thier BYOB policy:

You may bring food and drink to the Hollywood Bowl, but for the safety of all our patrons and to comply with fire regulations, the aisles and walkways of the Hollywood Bowl must be kept clear at all times. Therefore, large containers, picnic baskets, or coolers measuring more than 15" wide, 15" high, or 20" long will not be permitted past the ticket gate. Re-usable containers (such as Tupperware or sipper bottles), holding food or beverages are permitted in the theatre, as are wine bottles and wine glasses. Please note: kegs, pony kegs and party balls are not permitted. (For Lease Events, please see Special Policies for Lease Events.)

no watered down $7 beers here:)....And it just keep's getting better.:D :thumbsup

[MAM2STEPN]

THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE. You can not bring outside alcohol into the bowl. I went to 5 shows there last summer and they trash everything you bring in. You used to be able to bring it, but now you can't. Sorry for the bad news! It just sounded too good to be true!:shrug

[MAM2STEPN]

Does anyone know if there are any hotel's within walking distance that have parking?

I'm really excited about this venue.....I've alway's wanted to see a show at the Bowl.:D I'm not a fan of So CA, don't be offended.....I was born there so I can voice my opinion without people taking offense. I just don't like the traffic. The Bay Area is my preference.:D

I'm glad you got a room at the Best Western. Maybe everyone who is coming from out of town should stay there. It's definitely the most walk-friendly. I would love to invite everyone to stay at my apartment but I can't fit that many people.

And I understand people's issues with LA. I personally think, without a wonderful group of friends in this city, people just can't deal.

Of course, and with me already staying there...

And totally agree about the LA thing. I find I meet so many newcomers who can't deal because they lack friends on arriving. Not to mention it can be hard to meet people is you're not super outgoing...

My cc is showing a full debit from the WH:D ...meaning lower bowl!

Same here. What year did you join the warehouse?

[DMBBeav]

Same here. What year did you join the warehouse?

12/11/98. My first show was 11/30/98, became addicted, and joined once I saw that the fan club existed(which, luckily for me, was around when the fan club began).

[Isilinde]

My cc is showing a full debit from the WH:D ...meaning lower bowl!

Full amount for 2 lower bowl tickets would be about $148, right?

If so, that's what I've got too. I had a preauth for it, but now it's says "PURCHASE" in my future day transactions (I'm using a debit card, not a cc).

[methodsmadness]

I never even got a preauth - is that a good sign or a bad one?

[Isilinde]

Well, really, you never can tell for sure if you're getting tickets when you get a preauth... or even an actual charge. It's a good indicator that you got tickets, but you can't be sure until confirmations go up.

I'm sure we'll find out sooner than later.

[DMBBeav]

Full amount for 2 lower bowl tickets would be about $148, right?

If so, that's what I've got too. I had a preauth for it, but now it's says "PURCHASE" in my future day transactions (I'm using a debit card, not a cc).

But how does this work? I know the official line is that the charge does not officially mean you got tix, but I thought the story was that nobody has ever gotten a charge and then had it reversed. For example, when I tried to get D&T tix in Vegas I just never got a charge and never got tix. Meanwhile some people were posting they got charges and, sure enough, they all got tix.

My math says that $148 would sound right(mine is for $276 as I am also going to Chula Vista) but the difference between lower and upper bowl is $11 total, so who knows. How long have you been a WH member, isilinde?

EDIT: Oh, actually, what you should do is go to your WH ticket status page and find out if $148 is the maximum amount you could be charged. If it is, then you got lower bowl.

[Isilinde]

hehe... I actually did go to my ticket status page shortly after I posted and, sure enough, $148 is the max I can be charged.
I'm a little out of it today because A) I'm sleepy and B) I'm cleaning my apartment (moving out) and the chemicals must be getting to me or something..... :evil ;) :lol

I have friends who used to be in the WH who said that they've been charged before, didn't get tix, and then the amount was credited back. I'm sure this is a rare occurance.... but I think it's within the realm of possibility.... for some reason.... :ugh

p.s. I'm only a 2nd year member, but I've had some amazing luck with the WH for some reason. Not that I'm complaining......... 4th row Gorge N3 last year... :D

[tazeeee]

I would be a bit skepticle that a wrist band would work. At HDC and Chula Vista i have never seen a wrist band system used for DMB shows, so they might not work.

If the price is right though, it might be worth the risk.

They only have wrist bands for the front row at Chula. It keeps people from climbing over the seats and coming into the front row.

[zachyd]

You frustrate me with all the shows you are going to...:lorraine

ok, I've got a question, on ticket master it says, "There is a 2 ticket limit for pool and box sections." where is the pool and box sections? is the pool the pit? thanks.

Someone in the Warehouse request thread posted this link to the seating chart. I was wondering the thing and found this chart very helpful. Here is to pool or box seats. Fingers are crossed. And toes.

http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tix/seating_chart.cfm

[tankdan]

I don't plan on going to this show, and I normally don't care what other venues look like, but, on a whim, I yahoo'd for some pictures of the Hollywood Bowl and it looks like a freaking SWEET venue!! I've always loved the "hatch shell" look, and it seems as if there are quite a few seats, even though it stretches pretty far back.

Anyway, to all of you that are going... have fun!
To those who have been there before, are the rear seats REALLY far from the stage? It's hard to tell from pictures.

In all my years living in this city, I have never sat in the Pool seats. I have sat in the boxes plenty of times. Here's hoping on Pool seats for this show!!

[Sheik_Yerbutay]

I think I was the one who posted the link along with the question "Which areas are considered lower, upper and bfe seats?" Never got an answer so perhaps someone here has the 411!

:( I was afraid of that. See, I am going with 3 other people ho have never been to a DMB concert, and I wanted for all of us to sit together in a relatively good spot. Oh well....

[KaraAnne22]

My husband and I are doing the Hollywood Bowl show...we moved back East from L.A./San Diego two years ago, and this'll be our first trip back. We're seeing friends and family from Hell-Ay to Orange County to San Diego (and DMB!) in a short, five-day span. :bounce

The funny thing is, WH used the terms "Lower Bowl" "Upper Bowl" and "Rear Bowl" for the request period, but NO ONE in Hell-Ay or at the Bowl uses those terms. I used to work in the Box Office at the Geffen Theatre at UCLA, so when I saw the WH using these terms, I called a buddy at the Bowl and asked what these ticket terms meant, and he said, "I have no idea. The Dave Matthews Band's fan club made these terms up. You know we use the terms 'pool' 'terrace' and such."

The only sucky thing is that I'm a seven-year Warehouse member (entering my 8th year), and I got confirmed for freakin' UPPER BOWL (as opposed to better seats in the Lower Bowl), even though I requested "Best Available". Anyone else not get Lower Bowl like they were hoping for?

I've gone ahead and assumed that Lower Bowl (from looking at the map) means pool/garden/terrace; Upper Bowl means super seats and the section immediately behind it; Rear Bowl means the last two sections. So it really will be a mystery as to what Upper Bowl means. Here's the seating chart:

http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tix/seating_chart.cfm

Hey, at the end of the day, I'm still seeing DMB at one of the best freakin' venues in the ENTIRE WORLD.

Kara

ps - I quantify "entire world" because I saw John Williams there in Summer '02 conduct the Phil doing his favorite compositions (including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, etc.) -- with James Earl Jones narrating the whole night. :D

pps - Reposted from another thread because I didn't know there was a Hollywood Bowl thread up (I'm the one who posted the seating chart...).

[whodat]

Anyone get tickets to this show yet? Mine still says processing. I requested Lower Bowl. Hope that I didn't shoot myself in the foot by doing that.

[whodat]

DECLINED!!! So bummed. First time ever. Oh well Instant ticketing here I come.

[neumdogg]

Im confirmed!

However, I got Upper Bowl.....bastards.....6 years as a member and they still dont care.

Hey at least you are in. I am 8 year member and got the high hard one. Did get Irvine and Chula Vista, so I am still very excited.

I am going to keep my eyes peeled for people dumping seats,or instant ticketing.

[KaraAnne22]

Yeah, well, I'm an eight year member who requested "Best Available" and got confirmed for UpperFreakin'Bowl -- which, by the way, translates into...huh? when you look at the seating chart I posted...

My guess is that upper bowl is anything F-P.

And everything behind that is rear (hehe....i said rear) bowl.

[DMBBeav]

Wow...I guess I should be feeling lucky. I was charged the full amount and choose best available and now I am confirmed...so I'm assuming I got Lower Bowl? I was a memember within the first 10 days of the WH, so I guess my seniority is pretty high.

Did anyone here get charged on their cc for lower bowl and not get it? Just curious.

[DMBBeav]

Hey at least you are in. I am 8 year member and got the high hard one. Did get Irvine and Chula Vista, so I am still very excited.

why not try TM tomorrow morning? I bet you can get some upper bowl seats at least.

Edit: and by tomorrow I mean Saturday. it is one of those weeks.

Thanks for the idea. I will give a shot. Worse case I can sell the wost of what ever seats I get,if I get TM and Instant Ticketing.

I was charged the full amount as well and I'm confirmed. I'm assuming we've both got lower bowl.
:) I'm happy with that. A friend of mine is coming with me and it's his first show.

Hey yeah, I'll keep an eye out for extra tickets. I feel so bad for you since you're a senior member and all... :hug

I am pretty bummed to. The wife was happy though. She is not thrilled with the amount of money I have been throwing down for the shows. She was cool about it all and said that if I really want to go she was fine with it. We have a year and half old son. He is very special and way to much fun to not be with. I guess if I have to sacrifice seeing the band at the bowl for him, it works for me.

One cool note about my son, he knows the woos during warehouse and even throws up his hands in the air. On perfect time too. Can't wait to take him to his first show.

To everyone going to this show out there, have a great time and hopefully I will see you there.

[SymphonyOfDeath]

I got decined requesting Lower Bowl, looks like I'll have to go with ticketmaster for this one. Confirmed for my other 4 though :)

[whodat]

Does anyone remember during the ordering period for this show what the choices for seats was. I know that I requested Lower and got declined. I remember there were choice for middle and upper bowl. But was there a choice for Best Available.

Hindsight being 20-20, I should not have been so greedy, or thinking that because I was 8-year member that I would just get seats, I should have broadend the request. My bad. Live and learn. TM or instant or help from the ticket exchange page.

[Isilinde]

I think it was lower, upper, rear, and best available. :)

[whodat]

I think it was lower, upper, rear, and best available. :)

That sounds right.

[Isilinde]

Yup. Well, like I said.... I'll keep my eyes peeled. Something always pops up. :)

[DMBBeav]

I was charged the full amount as well and I'm confirmed. I'm assuming we've both got lower bowl.
:) I'm happy with that. A friend of mine is coming with me and it's his first show.

So you and I are the only two on this thread that got lower...what year did you join WH?

[Isilinde]

Ummm... well, I'm only a 2nd year member. Joined in the fall of '04

You dont have to hide. I mean, I'm a sixth year and there is an eigth year on this board too......Wait, maybe you should hide!

[Isilinde]

hehe.....
heh... uh,


I just feel really bad for all of the senior members who were denied.
And I don't want any of them to kill me for the tickets they deserve.


At least I'm not a new fan. That would be even worse.

Deserve? The WH has been so good to me, even this year. I requested 7 shows and got 5. Yes this was the first time that I was denied. One decline was for Alpine N2, which seems to me that everyone on these boards got declined for, and the other HB.

I have seen over 20 shows over the eight years as WH member and all the time the seats have been awsome. My wife and I attended the majority of the shows. When she can't go I take a friend and they always comment on how good the seats are.

So in my humble opinion, you deserve the same good, good time, and seats, that I have had at shows over the 11 years I have been going to see DMB. This way, as a new member, you are happy and want to stay a member of the WH. For me, 8 great years. A decline was bound to happen. I am still going to stay a memeber of the WH and continue to get seats through them.

Now if happens again next year...:monkey

I have NEVER been declined. I have gotten seats everytime i have requested, with one exception (Randalls last year).

My problem is that I have never gotten really good seats. The closest they have ever given me was 20th row.

I dont know.....Maybe I'm just a greedy little pig......

[Isilinde]

You guys are AWESOME!

I see so much bitching from senior members who think it's ridiculous that new members get great/good/or ever decent seats over them.

Glad you are both happy with your memberships.

I'm actually confirmed for Alpine n2.... :cool
I didn't know other folks had issues with that. I don't even chance a dive into the Alpine thread. I can't keep up with it. :lol

I've been very lucky with the WH and I'm VERY thankful for that! They've given me some great seats and therefore some really magical nights. :D

Maybe this just wasn't my year. :shrug

As for seats, last year at Chula Vista I was 15 rows back DEAD CENTER. HDC N1 a touch right, 7th row. N2, right in front of LeRoi, 4th row.

All in all, I have never sat worse then 20 rows back. Been very spoiled to this point. And a bit greedy too. When you get pampered for as long as I have been, it is tough to swallow when you get declined. But like people have alreay mentioned, I will keep my eyes out for seats. Things happen and someone is bound to have to dump some seats. Hopefully I can be so damn lucky to get them.

Are the song references getting lame? I don't know why I keep doing them. Maybe it is helping me cope with the pain of being declined.

WHAT?! You got tickets to N2 at Alpine and HB?! I am no longer talking to you. You were right. You got seats that I deserved. Damn two year member getting all the good shows and seats. Damn you all!!

Yeah, just kidding. Couldn't resist the little tyraid. Can't think of any lame song reference here, so I will leave the stone unturned.:hump

[Isilinde]

Oh, you're looking for Alpine N2, too?

I like you.... I'll keep my eyes peeled for those too. ;)
It's always refreshing to meet nice people around these parts.

[dmbisgod]

if somebody could keep an eye out for some instants for this show that would be great. I am probally going to end up going to the box office tommorow morning to see what i can get.

[davehead34]

I couldn't even afford to try to get tickets via the WH lottery for these shows. It's all good. I've got tons of other things going on right now (moving) that require my money. Regarless, I'll still make it to the SoCal shows.

I'm not sure if you guys heard this, but Fonzie just moved to SoCal! He didn't say where, but it's in his latest interview that was posted on the Ants homepage. Cool shit huh? Maybe I'll see him on the slopes one day or something.

could you possibly grab me 2 seats when you see it? in case im not home?

[davehead34]

I'm not really sure right now. I'll probably get tickets through Instant ticketing, but we'll see.

[DMBBeav]

My .02 on the ticket situation(if you don't have them)...

...try on TM or at the box office tomorrow. I bet if you do it first thing, you will get lower or upper bowl. Then get instants when they come. You will find someone who will buy the tickets you don't want for face because the show is going to sell out and there are always people, if not here than on Craig's List, who will buy the tix last minute.

[Isilinde]

could you possibly grab me 2 seats when you see it? in case im not home?

Only if you can promise that you could pay me back immediately. I'm willing to do favors, but I'm not a money tree and this is the time of year (ticketing season) when my bank account is extra sensitive.

Deserve?! Oh, sweetie, that's nice of you to say that, but as an eight-year member I don't really deserve anything. I expect it, sure, but I don't deserve it. ;)

It's cool that you got great seats -- by scoring great seats, that keeps you excited about the band and the WH, which keeps you coming back next year and renewing, which means the band keeps touring, which means we all get to spend some crazy, lazy, hazy, wonderful summer nights together surrounded by a lot of positive energy.

Now you tell me if there's anything wrong with that? :D

This is going to be a good, good show, no doubt about that. :)



dmbisgod -- Alright then. Let me know what happens at the box office and if you're still in need after tomorrow I'll try to get some instants for ya when they pop up. :)

dmbisgod -- Alright then. Let me know what happens at the box office and if you're still in need after tomorrow I'll try to get some instants for ya when they pop up. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you

[Isilinde]

No prob. :)

[neumdogg]

I am probally going to the box office early tommorow so im hoping i can get lowers
Are you sure they are going on sale tomorrow at the box office?

[neumdogg]

Are you sure they are going on sale tomorrow at the box office?
Ok, just called over to the bowl.

They are NOT selling tix at the box office there. You have to go through TM.

[whodat]

I couldn't even afford to try to get tickets via the WH lottery for these shows. It's all good. I've got tons of other things going on right now (moving) that require my money. Regarless, I'll still make it to the SoCal shows.

I'm not sure if you guys heard this, but Fonzie just moved to SoCal! He didn't say where, but it's in his latest interview that was posted on the Ants homepage. Cool shit huh? Maybe I'll see him on the slopes one day or something.

I think he is moving to Laguna Beach, the real OC. Man I hate that crap. Makes everyone in OC look like a bunch of spoiled a-holes. Not the case.

I used to live down PCH in San Clemente and went to Laguna all the time. Killer place to hang. Just don't believe what you see on TV about the place. It does it no justice.

[dmbisgod]

No prob. :)
ayheee

hehehe.... :)
Glad to help someone out.

[KaraAnne22]

OMG... The people in this thread are so AWESOME! I just can't get over it. :)

There's just no need to get all sentimental! Wait, yes there is! :bounce

I really just try to keep things in perspective, you know? I just survived another cancer scare, my brother's serving in Iraq... and yet I still get to fly to the Left Coast to see DMB with my husband. So I'm sitting in the Upper Bowl, who cares? It's only a seat, and I'll still love the show.

:thumbsup

Right on dude! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the PCH! You can't go wrong L-I-V-I-N near it dude. It's arguably the coolest road in America. Yeah, those lame ass yuppie shows definitely give Orange County and Laguna Beach a bad name. Total misrepresentation of what SoCal really is about. MTV is totally fucking up our image down here (not that I should care about our image or anything), but there're also changing our culture for the negative. Kids down here think it's OK to act like they do on the shows. It's frustrating as hell dude. That's why I moved my happy ass to one of the last true SoCal beaches, Ocean Beach. Totally laid back, surfer/hippie community (extra emphasis on community). God I love OB :) :cool Beautiful weather today, no?

Oh yeah, and I still don't have my tickets yet. I'll get them soon, though. I'm definitely not stressing about getting tickets. Never have - never will. DMB's been the most intricate part of my life for the past six or seven years. That's not going to change anytime soon :)

Chase, i hope to see you there....see you in Chula for sure

keep searching. i just pulled f2 row 21 a minute ago.

[ucbedge]

Section Q1, Row 5

I got into the system IMMEDIATELY after 10AM (wait was less than 30 secs)...but of course, the system bounces me out with the infamous "we cannot process this request due to a systems issue". Bla bla bla...

I tried again, got these seats. Saw they were selling out quick, so I took them. Now though...there are still seats available. I thought they would for sure sell out!

Does anybody wonder who in the world gets the Garden and Terrace seats? I dont see how they can go thru Ticketmaster....at 10:03, the best I could pull up was Section S. Youre not telling me that they sold out the 3/4 of the bowl in 3 mins, yet cant sell out the entire venue in an hour. I dont think so....

Edit: by the way, you can check the view from your seat at the Hollywood bowl website. Choose Tickets -> seating chart and then click the link at the top of the screen to seatadvisor.com

they are ok. there is a picture of the view a page or so back. It took me so long to find decent seats though. Scalpers and brokers are evil. I still don't know how the lower bowl sold out in 5 minutes :freak anyway, at least we're going :monkey

[lieinmygrave41]

so, since buying 5 tickets at once iss a bad idea, I had to split it up. Otherwise, we would be sitting in the very last section. So I bought 2 tickets, then 3 tickets. So you, Elyse, and your friend will sit together, and me and my friend will sit together. We are in the same area, but I had to split up the tickets. Make sense?

ps - If you go to TicketMonster, the best single seat available right now is K1, best pair is Q1. And about Lower Bowl, having worked at two agencies when I lived in Hell-Ay, I can all but guarantee that a lot of those seats are for "celebrities." This show, above any other on the '06 tour, will be pique star gazing opportunities for those fans who like that kind of thing.

I was waiting on the TM site right at 10 and requested 2 tix as soon as it opened. My first two pulls gave me L3 way on the side. I figured I would be better off closer to center, but further back. Another try gave me way up in the last section and i figured it was almost sold out, but didn't want to settle for such garbage. One more try gave me section S; much further back than I had hoped but at least it's dead center. The Bowl is a small venue it's truly a wonderful treat that DMB is playing there. A few people in the TM thread said they got sect D or E, then there were some Ls.

So, to answer your question, who gets all the Garden and Terrace seats? Most of these seat NEVER go on sale at all. Of course, any WH tickets were taken from those areas somewhere. However, the bulk of those seats are all reserved and are never sold. Most of them are then used for promotional purposes. One example is radio giveaways. LA has a big radio market. I worked for Music Plus back in the day and I was a wizard on the Ticketmaster computer. So, this is not just speculation. I saw it at EVERY show that went on sale. The very first, best seats that come out of the computer right at the moment of sale were always several sections back.

its not fair to us that are trying to get these seats and that would really enjoy them...HOLLYWOOD stars arent ants like us...

[dmbisgod]

i thought they werent selling at the box office yesterday but i have seen pics of tickets that look they were printed there

[Thalydimide]

its not fair to us that are trying to get these seats and that would really enjoy them...HOLLYWOOD stars arent ants like us...

No it's not fair, and even less fair that some shmoe who thinks 'yeah I wouldn't mind seeing DMB for free' and grabs the phone when he hears a song playing gets far better seats than the ants like us paying for our seats.

[lieinmygrave41]

hi. do do do. la la la.

[dmbisgod]

so what are pre bowl plans? anyone got any ideas yet?

[lieinmygrave41]

well, I'm going with a couple people who have never been to a DMB concert, but I've burnt them a couple mixed cds, including spoon, JTR, So Right, and Last Stop. Anyway, I don't have any prebowl plans. But I'm going to be in school until 3(ughh) which means I won't have much time before the concert.(ughhh)

ive been to the bowl...sat in the super seats in like october i believe for queen with paul rogers.. bowl is cool..my seats for now are in L2

[lieinmygrave41]

cool. So how is the whole experience at the bowl. Home Depot Center was nice, because even if you sat in the risers or the upper seats, you had a great view. Although, HDC is the only venue I've ever been to, so I can't compare it to anything else.

[dmbisgod]

same man...ive only been on floor at hdc

[lieinmygrave41]

ahh, I've been on the sides both times. good times. WYA last year was awesome.

[dmbisgod]

yes didu go to both night

[lieinmygrave41]

no, just night 2. same in 04. My plan was to get both nights this year, and a show farther south, but then they changed for some weird reason, and my plans were screwed up. didn't dmb have some contract at HDC, since they were the first band to play there?

[dmbisgod]

ahh, I've been on the sides both times. good times. WYA last year was awesome.

not sure

went night 2 in 04
went 2 nights last year

my friends dad is the coach of the galaxy so we had legit seats night 2 last year and we had warehouse tickets from some1 last year for night1

im gunna miss hdc..sucha good vibe there

[lieinmygrave41]

yes, there was. Maybe DMB will pull out something special at the Bowl. I mean, their first time there, and its such an infamous venue. Plus, it looks cool.

[lieinmygrave41]

and it only holds like 16,000 people, not very much on DMB standards.

[dmbisgod]

i'm 16.1/2.i read your profile...says ur 14..when did u start listening?

[lieinmygrave41]

about 2 years ago. funny story, I was looking for a Linkin Park cd, when I saw Some Devil sitting right next to it, and Dave looking at me, and I;m like, "hmm" so I listened to Too High, and bought the album. Then I bough tickets on ebay to 1-14-04 down in san diego, and it was my first concert. Then I realized that Dave and Friends wasn't his real band, so I picked up Live in Central Park, listened to DDTW, and immediately found my new favorite band. the end. haha.

[dmbisgod]

nice

so your 14?

[lieinmygrave41]

anyway, so what part of California do you live in?

[kjzz12]

[kjzz12]

yes :D and I looked at your myspace. is that Dream Girl from Red Rocks? :lol

Yes and yes.

I dunno, I have a soft spot for Dreamgirl... Shut up!

[lieinmygrave41]

its alright, I have a confession too... I like I Did It

[lieinmygrave41]

the only song ever written I think no one can have an opinion on is ODH. Simply the worst song ever. gaaaa!

[kjzz12]

Agreed. See, when I think about it, Dreamgirl is not a good song... but I still like it!

[lieinmygrave41]

haha. I like the acoustic versions of Sleep to Dream Her and I really like Fool to Think. And I enjoy When the World Ends. is that bad?

[kjzz12]

haha. I like the acoustic versions of Sleep to Dream Her and I really like Fool to Think. And I enjoy When the World Ends. is that bad?

[lieinmygrave41]

anyway, I'm going to go watch tivoed episodes of Law and Order: SVU. Wish me luck!

[kjzz12]

Good luck!

[Aerodmb]

WH shows "upper level" priced tickets, after looking at the TM seating chart and WH, no clue as to where these seats might be. Any ideas/

[lieinmygrave41]

how much are warehouse tickets generally?

[SymphonyOfDeath]

how much are warehouse tickets generally?Lower Bowl was $65 and the one behind that was $59.50 :)

[lieinmygrave41]

so absolutely no difference, just about 400% better chances of getting good seats. (excluding the obvious)

btw, is it too obsessive that I made a spreadsheet of the Winter Tour, and a spreadsheet of the 2006 summer tour including Jazzfest and Dave Solo in May? :lol it is just to look at the setlists as they unfold during the summer. My way of wasting the time... oh man.

EDIT: you know, it really isn't as bad as you think, but being home sick for 3 days makes you a little bored.

[SymphonyOfDeath]

Is that to help with the setlist game? Some people were coming up with crazy formulas and using statistics for there picks last year :lol

[lieinmygrave41]

i remember that

[SymphonyOfDeath]

So where should I stay for the Hollywood show? I haven't organised any accomodation yet.

[lieinmygrave41]

I'm not too sure. the infamous hollywood guitar center is basically 4 blocks away, you can loiter in there till the next day....


probably not a good idea. I really couldn't tell ya.

[SymphonyOfDeath]

Yeah I don't know, I'll probably leave Hollywood and head up towards WA the day after so I'll only be staying 1 or 2 nights.

[lieinmygrave41]

cool, well...I am trying to think of cool places for you to visit.....Six Flags Magic Mountain is awesome. I've got a pass there, and I went last summer basically everyday till I was so tired of it I threw up...but Its a lot of fun. It has the most rollercoasters, one of the tallest, fastest, biggest loops, etc etc. brag brag. Anyway, they are finishing building some weird flying roller coaster where you lay down facing the ground and fly through loops and all this. Looks insane, can't wait till it opens. Its actually located in Valencia, which is the town I live in. Anyway, thats me rambling...

[dmbisgod]

that ride seems kinda cooolllll

[dmbisgod]

Tatsu!!

[lieinmygrave41]

lets see, there is Universal Studios, and Disneyland. They are both fun, but if you've been there more than 2 times, you've been there enough. You could always do the lame touristy stuff.

Tatsu!!

I was there Thursday since it was a minimun day at school, and you walk into the park, and it is just right in front of your eyes! It is huge! Reminds me when X and Deja Vu came out....

I have a question...

Somebody earlier in this thread said that celebrities and radio stations got all the really good tickets.

Does anybody know which LA-area radio stations are giving away tickets? And maybe during what time of day? I know it's like the lottery, but worth a shot.

Example: I know that Mark and Brian have a few tickets for this concert. 95.5 KLOS from 6 - 10AM daily.

This might be a silly question, but what does Prom 1 and 2 stand for? Anyone know?

I would say any major radio station in the LA market will be giving away tickets to this show. As stated before this will be the Hollywood Star's night out show. Lots of celebs.

KLOS, 106.7 KROQ, Star 98.7, maybe even 102.7 KIIS will be giving away seats. I am in the same boat as you trying yo get creative finding seats.

It took all weekend, but I guess the show is now sold out.

Ok, then it now it is official, I am looking for tickets. Ticket exchange forum here I come.

Does anyone remember when the instant ticketing stats through the WH? Just keeping all options open.

Instants...they just start. All I know is that earlier you get them the better your seats, so don't hesistate once you see that they are available.

wow...consider us with tickets (even though im looking for better ones than my pretty good ones ) the lucky ones:)

i just went on TM and searched for singles and found something in M2 if anyone is looking for a single

lets see, there is Universal Studios, and Disneyland. They are both fun, but if you've been there more than 2 times, you've been there enough. You could always do the lame touristy stuff.
Hey! Universal sucks, but I could go to Disneyland on a weekly basis!

[whodat]

I got instants one year for Chula Vista and they were actually good seats. Not pit, but next section up. So I am holding out hope that my luck will continue with that route.

Couldn't agree more about the Magic Kingdom. I live about 10 minutes from the park. I used to have a annual pass and my wife and I would go about 3-4 times per month. There is alot of stuff you don't see or do in a single day trip there.

Walt was a very creative man. Or at least the people working for him had way to much fun creating and designing things around the park. Check out htis book if you have time Mouse Tales by David Koenig. Pretty cool, quick read. There is a sequel to that book as well.

this show is gunna be insane

I can't wait until this show!! I was so glad I got seats (they aren't the best, but hey I will be there right). I am moving out there a few weeks before the show and am just hoping to meet and have fun with a bunch of the DMB fans and jamming to the best band ever!!!!! :bounce

[ucbedge]

Hello all,
Checked Ticketmaster this morning, and it looks like they have a few pairs of tickets left at the back of Section N2. I would jump on them if you are looking for pairs since they were sold out of them most of Sunday and Monday.

Good luck!

Yesterday (I am on vacation down here in SoCal) I was in Hollywood. I realized the Hollywood Bowl was nearby, so we went to check it out. We figured that it would be gated up, but it wasn't! We got to check the whole amphitheater out, and even go on stage! I also got some shots of the hallway that the musicians go down to go backstage. I'll post pics later. I got great pics from the stage looking out!

Sweet. Can't wait to check those out.

Also for everyone going, I have talked to people that have seen shows at the Bowl before and everyone said expect HEAVY traffic going in and out of the show. With the show being on a Monday, I am sure that it will be worse then anyone can imagine. And having lived in SoCal for 25 years, and driving in it for 15, I have been in some nasty HelLa traffic.

Just trying to help a brother, and a few sisters, out.

Yeah, that sounds about right. What's the tailgating like at the Hollywood Bowl? How's security?

[neumdogg]

Well, chase, its tricky.

Now there is a tiny little park next to the Bowl. I have pre-partied their before Bowl shows.

Or, I might be hosting a little pre-party action at my apartment which is a ten minute walk from the Bowl.

I figured you would say that. I am already planning to take a half day that day.

[Isilinde]

An inquiring mind wants to know about (beach) camping in the area. I'm willing to drive a couple hours to get to a great spot. :)
Not so sure about the channel islands anymore... hehe
Still considering it though. I just want to know what options I've got. :)

[Isilinde]

Not the night before the show. ;)
Probably on Friday or Saturday.

Oh, and also: I don't want to camp somewhere crowded. I hate seeing droves of people around me when I'm just trying to get away from civilization. hehe

[dmbisgod]

the 'Bu might be good then.. i think.. i live near malibu havent camped there though..
ill be in irvine friday

probally chula saturday

[Isilinde]

Cool then. I'll see what I can find. Once I know where to start, I'm pretty good at finding the campsite that's right for me. :)


I wish ~I~ could go to more SoCal shows though..... :p ;)
