**The Official 2007 Davesterdam Thread (Dave Matthews in Amsterdam)**

[defcon]

Sat / Mar 10 / Paradiso / Amsterdam, Holland

I am banking on making this one. The only issue is $$$, but I think I can swing it by cutting out my Dave shows for the summer. It's during my Spring Break, will have to miss a couple of days of school to allow for transit but it should be a good time.

It sucks that tickets will not be available via Warehouse to U.S. members, but it is only fair I suppose. The European fans deserve priority on the tickets since they are Dave Deprived. If anyone has any general on-sale info please share.

Who's going? Who wants to go? Discuss.

Also, discuss general ways to pass time and interesting things to do in Amsterdam. Eventually it would be nice to set up an Ants gathering once we determine who is going.

Peace.

[BrahmaBull]

hey chris, I think there are a limited number of tix allotted to US WH people

[BrahmaBull]

sorry, re read email. that sucks :lol

[Alasken]

I'll be there with a buddy. Booking plane tickets tomorrow, and crossing my fingers for the WH request to get me some tix :D Can't wait!

[dreamingstone08]

hey i'm gonna look to go!!! i also want to hit up paris too i think

we'll see!

[linrose]

I'm sooooooo jealous. Burning dark green with envy. Glad I got to see D&T in SB though and hope to make the Amsterdam trip someday when it's full band :cool

[beaufordrummer]

I'm gonna be studying abroad in Wales next semester, so i'm definitely gonna try to hit this one up along with maybe one other one....should be fun

[defcon]

sorry, re read email. that sucks :lol

Yeah, I misread that email the first couple of times, too...I'm hoping I don't have to pay out my ass for tickets and that they're somewhere along the line of the prices of U.S. shows.

[Alasken]

defcon: i checked the price earlier and it's around $35 if I don't remember etirely wrong :)

[dmbisgod]

brother defcon of the mj smokers thread...
i think i might be able to go

[defcon]

brother defcon of the mj smokers thread...

That's awesome right there.

I'm just going to throw this out there because I'm not sure of the answer. I've heard that you can only smoke in coffee shops in Amsterdam and that elsewhere it is frowned upon. Now, I know smoking isn't confined entirely to coffee shops, there has to be massive overflow. But would it be alright if I just, I don't know, burned a fatty while watching the show? I mean, I usually do that anyway...but with one eye open to the detractors. Is it kosher? The last thing I want to do is get arrested overseas -- that would suck royally. Anybody know the deal?

[superfint]

I don't think you can smoke anywhere(Example:Nightclubs,etc)
Prob ok at the Venue,and outside is no problem.
Seen John Mayer at the Melweg in Amsterdam last month & i asked a security guy was it ok to Lite up a Jay & he said "Do what you want"!!!

[beaufordrummer]

So...how does everyone here plan on getting tickets? I went to the PAradiso website and I cant read any of it. DO you think it will be hard to get them??

[chr35919]

wow. good news: TIM LIKELY TOURING WITH DAVE IN EUROPE!!

[eirikra]

I guess you can get tickets at www.ticketmaster.nl when they go on sale

[dreamingstone08]

how fast do you think that the tickets will sell out? if i'm at my screen do you think i'll have a chance to get them ONCE they go on sale?

[bopanic]

I guess you can get tickets at www.ticketmaster.nl when they go on sale

[bopanic]

how fast do you think that the tickets will sell out? if i'm at my screen do you think i'll have a chance to get them ONCE they go on sale?

the place only seats/stands 1200

so i guess it will matter how many WH tix are sold and then how many tix ticketmaster gets?

im gonna try like hell to get a pair!

[bopanic]

i was thinking eastern time as well. but since its a holland website. their local time would be 6 hours ahead of our eastern time zone.

[BradyBjj]

Anyone figure out what time this would be? And if US credit cards will work? This show is a must. :monkey

[bopanic]

i sent TM Holland an email and this is what they had to say.


this is what i emailed them.

[bopanic]

still not sure what time the tix go on sale for sure?

[beaufordrummer]

i was thinking eastern time as well. but since its a holland website. their local time would be 6 hours ahead of our eastern time zone.

On ticketmaster.nl, it says they go on sale at 11:00 on Saturday, so i'm pretty sure that means they go on sale at 4:00 AM here...since we are 7 hours behind the Netherlands, in Minnesota, so 6 hours for you Eaterners.

I'm just gonna stay up/wake up and try buying them then.

[samuraiwriter]

:D :D :D :D

just got confirmed for amsterdam.

thank god for the warehouse...

oh and brussels too...

see you ants over there!

[anisiv12]

Do you guys think these we sell out in a matter of minutes?

[eirikra]

I just got confirmed for amsterdam (and offenbach and berlin and cologne:D) as well. Can't wait for this show, I've got a feeling it's going to be a memorable one :)

[eirikra]

Do you guys think these we sell out in a matter of minutes?

probably not in a matter of minutes but they're likely to go pretty fast (a couple of hours or a day or something like that)

[mconsler]

I will be online fighting for my tix at 4am.

[anisiv12]

Anybody else awake waiting for tickets?

[BradyBjj]

good luck and good morning people :multi

[BradyBjj]

Hey, any luck? It's telling me it's sold out?

[whntjon]

Looks like sold out in less than 8 minutes! Anyone got an extra?

[BradyBjj]

anyone have an extra for a devoted, 4am waking fan?

[brn2plybal]

It never said Find tickets for event, only more info, was there a mistake?

[superfint]

Fookin hell!
My internet broke down last night,came down to work on my day off to use the PC to get tickets,on at 9.10-can't get anything!!!
Is it defo sold out??
Did anyone get tickets yet??

[ylojakt]

Hello late-nighters/early birds. I got lucky and snagged one. I think we crashed the Netherlands Ticketmaster there for awhile; I kept getting a "too many users" error. But then I got in. Now it looks like it's sold out; wow, they went quick. Whoever got tix, I'll see you there! Looking forward to meeting some international DMB fans.

[BSchulist]

Ive been waiting up all night and wtf?!!!! Where are these f'in tix?!

[ECLEKTIK RHYTHM]

Got my tix, it was difficult had to keep retrying. as it stands right now there appears to still be tix left. hope to hook up with members from this site in the dam. this will be my sixth time in the dam and the first time seeing a show but the paradiso is legendary. hope everyone else has some luck and if by some reason i can't go i'll let everyone know and put my tix up for sale but i should be going. well time to go back to bed this was fun.

J.T.

[BradyBjj]

I feel your pain... I'm having the worst nightmare right now that tickets are sold out and I keep clicking on the page and nothing... it feels so real though. One of those lucid dreams I think they call it.

[ylojakt]

For what it's worth. If you didn't get tix for Amsterdam, try Paris. That Paris show has been on sale for a few days and there are still tickets available. http://www.ticketnet.fr

[ECLEKTIK RHYTHM]

yeah just checked again the event seems sold out, sorry peeps hopefully they release more but if not i'll report back and let everyone know how the show went.

[mr:k]

Hi everyone! I'm new here. Got my ticket to Amsterdam at about 10:04. Travelling from Finland to the show.

[superfint]

Just got meself two tickets-ME and my 2 best friends-DAVE IN THE DAM!!!
Fookin' Woot Woot!!!!

[superfint]

keep trying PPL!!Who didnt score tickets yet!!

[BradyBjj]

hey superflint, what time did you get your tickets at?

[BradyBjj]

anyone else still trying?

[superfint]

hey superflint, what time did you get your tickets at?
Just got them like 5minutes before i posted that-so about 10.05 irish time,like 11.05 dutch-god knows what time for you!

[Focaccino]

So, where did the 1200 tickets go? In 5 minutes, no way, I guess there must be more being released, surely.... please! Off to Brussels which was easy to get tickets for and wanted to road trip to Amsterdam. Have tickets for myself from warehouse, but got 3 others in the car I needed tickets for, sure I was on there just after 10am too... or maybe I wasn;t, it was 10am here, so 11am there... still, none of the UK shows sold out, how is Amsterdam so quick? I say more tickets will be coming, they must be... if not, anyone got any extras? I'll get you some space cake! aye! :)

[Lorentzen]

I guess one of the reasons this show got sold out so freaking fast is the fact that it is allowed to smoke the good stuff in Amsterdam (Dave likes it, we like it;)) - I just hope the crowd wont be too far "away" - it could ruin the atmosphere of the show if people ended up being rude towards Dave and eachother just like Apollo, London in may

[mconsler]

Got my tix at 4am ish. Had to keep retrying to get on the site. I might have an extra or two if my friends dont live up to their promises. Just gotta get airfare, etc. Never been to Amsterdam, I can't wait.

[whntjon]

I was logged on at 10 till 3 (central time) and got through at 3:04 and it was sold out. Keep me in mind if you have an extra! I have an extra ticket to offenbach and could have an extra for brussels, let me know if you need them. I guess getting 2 out of 3 is good, but I want Amsterdam!

Thanks
Jon

[esther]

That's awesome right there.

you won't get arrested, but it IS frowned upon when you smoke a lot at public places and bother people doing so.

smoking weed (or 'blowen' as we call it) is really the same as drinking a lot of alcohol: you can do whatever the hell you want, as long as you don't do it 'in our face'. so try and consider us locals when you're over here and you'll be fine :)

[esther]

another thing for those who couldn't get tickets: you can try again through ticketmaster.nl on november 30. that's when reserveds that weren't picked up will become available again.

[Focaccino]

Awesome, I'm another wqho'd quickly take you up on your mates tickets if they don't live up... I'm road tripping over from UK to Brussels and Amsterdam, got tikcets for brussels but couple of mates not managed for amsterdam... :( Any spare would be immense! I'll be trying on 30th november (where did that tip come from??)

[esther]

where did that tip come from??

i called ticketmaster and that's what they said.

[Focaccino]

good girl for the tip, thanks!! hoping that will be a few eh, maybe I should date someone in the know... ;) gonna get onto that. :)

[Lorentzen]

Hmm... are you guys shure the Amsterdam show is sold out?

have you tried ticketmaster.nl ?

[esther]

no, we're just making it up

[Lorentzen]

no, we're just making it up

:freak sorry, my question was not clear... it wasn't so much a question as it was a comment about ticketmaster.nl

I tried for fun to see if I could buy tickets, and it just looked like it was possible to buy a ticket for the show. But I didn't pursue it to the end (payment)

never mind

[mconsler]

Where is everyone staying?

[Quickbeam]

A friend of mine got 4 tickets at a dutch postoffice... thank fuck! I hope we wont be the only 4 dutch guys there though, as I dont know many people who are big fans of DMB in holland. Anyway it will be awesome, never seen him live, and paradiso is fantastic.

[farscape2]

Yup I did manage to snag 4 tickets, at 10.01 to be exact.... :D waited for over an hour before the post office opened, the office opened up before ticketmaster opened the sales, which was stressfull seeing it was 10 o'clock sharp :lorraine, but it all worked out, sgonna be awesome I'm sure of that!!!

[Alasken]

Where is everyone staying?

the flying pig hostel!

[Quickbeam]

a friend of mine stayed at the flying pig while visiting a'dam, its supposed to be good. I have walked passed it, location is awesome.

[brn2plybal]

Which flying Pig hostel is closer to the venue uptown or downtown. Which one is better? I somehow grabbed 3 tickets at 10:45 amsterdam time...lucky I guess.

Anyone going to be waiting in line as early as possible to get front row? See you all there

[dancingantsy]

This is going to be fun:bounce

the uptown one is right by the venue.


im staying in a'dam from thursday to sunday, so I'm not sure where I'm gonna stay. Might choose the downtown one since thats where I'll probably be the other nights.

Both Flying Pigs are much the same.Am Pretty sure the uptown one is closer to the Venue,but the Downtown one not too far away.
I only know a wee bit of the city,pretty regular visiter i am! :)

You can que up early but The WH said in an email that for the shows that are standing,PPL who requested tickets Via the WH will get in first(Probably a seperate Que) i think.More info to come on that it also said in the email.

But yes,the early you get there,the closer you will be.Maybe not 1st row tho ;)

[mconsler]

Anyone ever stay at the bulldog? Looks cool, can get like a mini apartment, I will be in Amsterdam for 3 or 4 days enjoying the fun of the city.

[mconsler]

Got my tix in the mail yesterday. I can't wait.

[beaufordrummer]

Got my tix in the mail yesterday. I can't wait.

Tickets are being delivered already? Was that in the US?

[mconsler]

I so hopes he plays "Trouble With You" at this show. Not a very well known tune but I have to say its one of best. Came on the Limited Edition add on to Stand-up. Anyone know it?

[mconsler]

So is Tim going to be there or not?
Lots of rumors but nothing for sure yet?

[Lorentzen]

I so hopes he plays "Trouble With You" at this show. Not a very well known tune but I have to say its one of best. Came on the Limited Edition add on to Stand-up. Anyone know it?

Yeah it's really good song. Nancies intro "Davespeak" is amazing on that Limmited Edition... haha he's spent his time growing a beard :cool

[TwoStepJeff]

Well since I am not the only US Ant going ( i get to thank my best friend living in Europe right now) we are obviously going to meet. I may be drunk while posting this but we'll get over it... My one question is, which WH members will i be hanging with in line?

carry on

[mconsler]

Tickets are being delivered already? Was that in the US?

Yea in the US. NY here got my tix will def be there.

Mike

[beaufordrummer]

So...has anyone ever been to this place(paradiso) that could give the rest of us some info. Will it be hard to possibly get up front? How big is it? How early should people get there if they want a decent spot? ...just general questions like that...

[TwoStepJeff]

So...has anyone ever been to this place(paradiso) that could give the rest of us some info. Will it be hard to possibly get up front? How big is it? How early should people get there if they want a decent spot? ...just general questions like that...

well from what i have gathered from my hippie mom when she was there in the 70s is that it is an intimate venue of like 1200 people or so. There is a okay sized floor area with some balconies that are close to the stage.

as for getting up front, I know that WH members are getting in early or will have a special spot at the venue. For me, I am going to have to figure out when the show starts and such before i make my decision on what I will be doing

hope that helped

[jrh83]

I need a drink

[firedancer41dmb]

then go get one jared.

[jrh83]

Maybe i will but i am stuck in the libary

[firedancer41dmb]

why are you in this thread??

[jrh83]

Cuz its a free world

[brn2plybal]

I will be coming from Prague, Czech Republic. Can someone shed some light as the best/cheapest way (train, flight) to get to amsterdam is.

Can't wait for this show, I'll be outside early waiting to see if Dave comes over to us. Has he ever done that before?

[terra79]

Maybe i will but i am stuck in the libary
What's a libary? :lol ;)

Great site! Thanks! I can't wait until March!

All booked ready to go.

[minarets4]

So, I received my huge tickets for the Paradiso show. I've read through this whole thread and while I understand that people want to line up early, I sure hope people won't waste a whole day waiting in line. Having frequented Amsterdam quite a bit, there is too much to offer to just waste a day sitting around. I do plan on showing up a couple hours before we get let in, but face it, anyone who has a ticket to this intimate venue is gonna get a great view. I'm excited as can be for this show, and I hope to run into a few of you over in the Dam!


Who else is making the show the night before in Brussels? My family is from there, and all I've heard is great things about the AB.

I've never been so happy to have warehouse tickets... early admission no reason to line up. But you are right, there is not a bad place in that place. (was that redundant)?
We'll all be in for a treat.

[minarets4]

That's awesome that you have Warehouse tickets. It's good to see that the DMB management are actively approaching the European market. Although I know I'll be jealous watching the Euro Warehouse members getting in early, it's all good. Just how much earlier are you guys getting in?

I'm doing Offenbach, Brussels, and Amsterdam. We should meet up at the AB, it does look cool. Do you have an extra ticket for Amsterdam? I have everything booked and all other tickets but still need a single for Amsterdam. See you in Europe!

[mconsler]

69 days to go till the show. I cant wait......

[superfint]

If any one has a spare for this dam show,would be forever in debt!!!
Desperatly looking for 1 ticket for an irish mate who lives in holland(Moved over few years ago) but couldnt score a ticket!

If anyone can help-please PM me!

I agree I dont see the point of getting there too early in such a small venue no matter where you are you will have a great view etc.

[crzynickey]

Where is everyone staying for this show? I am coming from Dublin and will be at the Paris and Frankfurt shows prior to this show. Where is everyone meeting up prior to the and after the show? Does anyone have any plans yet?

I know for sure that we are staying at the Bulldog other than that not sure what the plans are.

[TwoStepJeff]

we are staying at the Flying Pig.. as for the meet up.. wasn't there a post roaming around about an Ant meet up after the show???

[defcon]

Is there anyone going it alone? I really, really, REALLY want to do this thing, and as the OP I feel somewhat obligated to do so. Problem is, I can't get any commitments from the real world. It's during my spring break, how awesome would that be. All I'm looking for is reliable people to meet up with or better yet some traveling companions at some stage of the trip. I just got my passport in order the other day and I am so ready for this. Anyone?

I always like meeting new people, you are more then welcome to hang with us if you would like. We (my brother in-lawa and I) are arriving on Thursday am staying at the Bulldog. Hit me up if you want more info.

[SonicBrew]

you won't get arrested, but it IS frowned upon when you smoke a lot at public places and bother people doing so.

smoking weed (or 'blowen' as we call it) is really the same as drinking a lot of alcohol: you can do whatever the hell you want, as long as you don't do it 'in our face'. so try and consider us locals when you're over here and you'll be fine :)

Yep, that's right. For you (others than Dutch) it may be heaven to smoke your mind off, but don't spoil your own evening too by getting too stoned (or too drunk) and miss the show. I'm not sure if Dave is going to get a smoke, but i hope he will keep it for after the show.

Another point, there's absolutely no need to queue up so early. You'd better enjoy the visit. There's plenty of possibilities for a nice view and the Paradiso ain't that big.

[TwoStepJeff]

has anyone figured out what time the show is? The Paradiso website is inconclusive and we are trying to book our flights to Amsterdam the day of the show... cheers

[xander]

The show will start at 20:30 local time. I don't know if there will be a supportact...
The doors will open at 19:00.
You will have to buy a membership (€ 3,-) at the door.

I am very very very excited about these shows. It will be my first chance to see Dave.
I'm going to see Amsterdam, Brussels solo and the Brussels DMB show.

How many dutch fans read this forum?
Hope to meet some DMB fans at the concerts....

CU all,

Thanks for the info. I'm so freaking excictied that I have the opportunity to attend this show. Its my first time in Europe and first time seeing Dave withouth the band. I just can't wait....

[mconsler]

Does anyone know if anyone will be taping this show? Not sure what the European venues are like in that regard.

[Beans]

We are fast and approaching folks. I cant wait to attend this show. Im not quite sure what im going to be doing the day of the concert. I will be staying in Maastricht which is about 1.5 hrs away from amsterdam, so my plans are to get up hella early and drive into town and take in the sitesall day before the concert.:thumbsup

[mconsler]

Yea it is going to be here before you know it. I can't wait...
We need to seriously start talking about meeting up before the show etc if everyone is into that.

[TwoStepJeff]

we really do need to figure out what to do before the show and after for that matter.. since I am a few thousand miles, maybe some of our European Ants can help us out..

find me a pub and some pints I am perfect

I agree that we need to set something up. Its gonna be hard seeing as we dont know the area, wont have use of our cell phones, and everyone will be arriving from different areas. We do need some help here on this one. It would be good tomeet up at a pub close to the Paradiso a few hours before start of show time. We will have to do something to make ourselves standout as well.....I.E. wearing a particular hat or having some kind of way of picking the fellow ants out of a crowd:confused :ugh

[TwoStepJeff]

Well in my bordem during Sport Marketing, I have scoped some places out. There is nothing really noteworthy that I could find near the venue. I have however found a place that serves something like 200 beers!:thumbsup Place is named Gollem... My travel mate has also informed me that Amsterdam is not a very large city so we should be just fine!

As for the standing out issue, I dont think any of us Dave heads will have trouble finding each other :)

[minarets4]

I don't think I'll have much time before the show to hang out with some of you guys, but I'll put in my input anyways. Since Paradiso is closest to the Leidesplein (I think that's spelled right), which is a sort of square with bars and such, I think the best place to meet would be the Bulldog. It is one of the rather famous coffeeshops in Amsterdam (with several locations citywide), and is easy to spot once in the square. It is right near the big Burger King, and the sign in pretty easy to spot. Having been inside this place numerous times when I stayed at the Uptown Flying Pig, I can say that it is a really cool place, and was once a police station. Hope this is a start...

website is www.bulldog.nl

[TwoStepJeff]

ah ha there we go.. Someone with some Amsterdam experience helpin us out! Its a shame you cany join us Minarets.

Told ya I couldnt do much from lil old Pullman:shrug haha

hat tip to ya Minarets:thumbsup

[direwolf41]

I have to respectfully disagree about the Bulldog. I have been to Amsterdam a couple of times and can tell with certainty that the Bulldog Palace situated in Leidesplein is a tourist trap. Their drink prices are ridiculous and their herb selection is also substandard and overpriced. While it is is a great idea to meet at a place near the Leidseplein as that is where the Paradiso is, in my opinion a better place for us to go would be De Rokerij. It is about a five minute walk from the concert venue and has a full bar with a large lounge area in the back. They are much more reasonably priced and have a amazing strains. Also located near the Paradiso are a Hard Rock Cafe and a large casino in case anyone wants to do some gambling. But again, these two places are also very expensive and tend to consist of mostly tourists. Just my two cents. I can't wait for this trip! :)

[TwoStepJeff]

Well i am gonna leave it to you Amsterdam Vets ;) Just know that I will be right there with ya guys... This trip is going to be simply amazing! Cant wait to party with you guys.. it'll be like going on a blind date that your best mate set you up on:bounce

More than understandable. I just wanted to throw something out there, and I knew it would be some place people could find easy that would be close to Paradiso. Amsterdam has so many wonderful places to offer, it's hard to pick just one place to meet. I have been to De Rokerij, and it is quite nice. I still think the Grasshopper is the more touristy and overrated. If I remember correctly, the Dampkring is not that far a walk.....

[whntjon]

Trying to decide where to stay in Amsterdam. Any suggestions other than Bulldog or Flying Pig? Hostels? Hotels? Anyone looking for 2 people to split a hotel room? Just seeing what's out there.

[TwoStepJeff]

Wish I could help ya friend but this poor college kid is staying at the Flying Pig.. I really didnt examine the other choices just because i am running on such a tight travel budget.

might want to chek out this link... it may give you some ideas

http://www.wcities.com/en/cat/23/12/category.html

it breaks hotels down into prices and neighborhoods!

hope it helps

[mconsler]

I really want to hit the Grey Area before the show but I think it is quite a ways away from what I can tell from my maps.

[TwoStepJeff]

I think you planned it out right you could certainly do both. Amsterdam isnt the biggest city so as long as ya wanna walk stoned... or drunk which may be a great experience haha ya might as well do both.

I cant smoke before shows, I get to dumbed down and cant enjoy myself like i normally would. Shame I know

[mconsler]

I love to smoke but I was kind of thinking the same. This is going to be such a great show not sure I want to get to f'd up before hand or during. Ive been to a few shows I can't even rember I don't want this one on that list.

[TwoStepJeff]

I was like that night 1 at the Gorge this year which I learned after getting the show that it was a great one. This show is more than likely going to be the best show I have seen to this point. Buuuuuut that won't stop me from enjoying some of Amsterdam's finest ale haha... did i see in an earlier post that you are staying at the Bulldog?

[mconsler]

Yea staying at the BD. Why not I guess... I have heard mixed reviews but its only 4 days how bad can it be?

[TwoStepJeff]

I heard the same about the Flying Pig... I am there three nights before heading to Copenhagen and for me all i really need is a place to lay my head. The other nights i will be much too f'd up to really care. That and I am a senior and college at dont have 70 euro a night to spend on some place to sleep haha;)

[mconsler]

Yea its a place to crash, I sleep real deep when I have a good buz going. As long as I dont get nothing stolen it will be cool. My brother in law who is coming along thinks its kinda weird the dorm type room Im ok with it. Done lots of camping etc in my day.

Yea Im a senior in college too kind of... I'm going back to finish my BA this is actually my last week of online classes

[TwoStepJeff]

Niiiiice congrats on almost being finished! I have another semester to finish before I enter the real world. I will certainly try to delay entry as long as I possibly can! Which school do you go to? i go to Washington State

as for the dorm style. I did that last April when I went to Hawaii to see the Kokua Festival and it was actually a lot of fun. Met a to of people from Europe and Austrailia. Just try and sleep with your stuff with you or you can lock it up from what i have heard

[mconsler]

Cool, I think it will be fun. Yea definetly delay it if you can, married with kids here so definetly have slowed down the parting etc the last few years but things like this come up and you just have to go... I told my wife the day the announced it, I'm going you can come along if you want or not. She really not into smoking partying etc so she decided to stay at home with the kid which is cool. Its going to be a great time.

[whntjon]

My Warehouse tickets have section and row listed. I thought this was a GA standing/sitting show? Anyone know what's up?

[minarets4]

My Warehouse tickets have section and row listed. I thought this was a GA standing/sitting show? Anyone know what's up?

A lot of times management use section and row numbers for standing only shows to keep track of how many tickets are sold or to show the order in which tickets are printed. I'm positive the Paradiso show is standing, but if you have Warehouse tickets hopefully you will be able to get in line first. Envious....

[TwoStepJeff]

Yeah this show is for sure a GA standing room only show. I havent even seen my tickets yet. The European WH is holding them at willcall. but yes we also get in earlier :) cheers WH

[whntjon]

Thanks for the help guys. I still can't believe I pulled Instants for the show!
I'm booking a place to stay this week, probably at Bulldog or Flying Pig. Can't wait to kick it in Amsterdam with fellow ants! It'll be here before we know it!

Jon

Yeah this show is for sure a GA standing room only show. I havent even seen my tickets yet. The European WH is holding them at willcall. but yes we also get in earlier :) cheers WH

[TwoStepJeff]

I have to echo what Jon said.. i am stoked to hang out with me fellow ants.. My friend i am going with thinks I am crazy for wanting to meet up with fello ants:eek... jsut doesnt get it does she haha

[mconsler]

My Warehouse tickets have section and row listed. I thought this was a GA standing/sitting show? Anyone know what's up?

How did you get WHS tix? I though only European members could get?

[TwoStepJeff]

WH issued a limited amount of tickets to american members.. much more difficult from what I have heard. My best friend lives in England and she even had trouble with her European WH membership.

tickets on eBay are insane. and i am worried that after all the effort in procuring a ticket - i'll be chillin' with the same loud, obnoxious (but now more stoned) Americans from home.

oh well. if i can't find one - amsterdam isn't such a shabby place to hang out for a few days :)

Well first that sucks you cant get a ticket. This show will be crazy good. As for the obnoxious Americans, I think it is par for the course if you live in a city like Amsterdam. Plus if you got one, it is a GA show so you can sit next to whomever you like.

With that said, I really really really hope this show is not like some of the recent D&T shows which are a shame to listen to at points

It will be good I think Dave will have lots of stories to tell since he oonce lived there.

[TwoStepJeff]

well i was speaking more of the disrespectful fans who turn Dave speak into a chance to yell out songs they want to hear. I cant wait for the man to preach to the Amsterdam masses haha:hump

[crushondave]

Preach to masses, exactly. I guess I'm just a little worried about what he said in the UK last time. I mean, WH tried to prevent Americans from even getting these tickets...says a lot.

[TwoStepJeff]

Well i think part of the limiting american warehouse tickets is to get more europeans into Dave Matthews's music. Luckily my closest friend lives in Europe and was able to get tickets through European Warehouse..


I missed what he said about the UK... what did he say?

i.e. VEGAS!! What a shitty crowd. Dave told them to shut the fuck up and sit down with no response. I hope the 'Dam will not be a repeat. Yes I'm American,from Alabama to boot, but me and my buddy know how to act a Dave show. Look forward to seeing you guys in a few short weeks!

Jon

[TwoStepJeff]

yeah or the Wiltern Theater... it just sucks cause it is such an intimate moment and there are people who are just disrespectful not only to us but Dave.

Jon I am right there with ya my friend. Whats unfortunate is that other people arent the same way oh well. I just need to sing and clap. Even with a couple beers in me :hump

[whntjon]

Singing and clapping are good!

[mconsler]

I wont be screamig no stupid stuff, I just want to enjoy the show at a very intimate venue, this will be the best show ever.

[TwoStepJeff]

agreed:thumbsup wish i could have club in hand to replicate this:twak... bad stoned drunk people bad:twak

edit: smoking pot is not bad dont get me wrong, just well sometimes we forget

[TwoStepJeff]

glad someone can agree with me. I mean this show like we have been saying is going to be incredible. Possibly one of the best Dave Matthews experiences I have ever had well that might be second to meeting him in a Safeway in Seattle haha:bounce... So I just hope we can all take a review of the Amsterdam Etiquette thread that was started a while back to just be courteous to the 1500 of us who will be there

[minarets4]

all take a review of the Amsterdam Etiquette thread that was started a while back to just be courteous to the 1500 of us who will be there

[TwoStepJeff]

ohhhhh yeah... its Copenhagen that is 1500 :p sorry about that haha... sorry for the confusion boys and girls

[mconsler]

[TwoStepJeff]

I cant wait. Snowed in here today listening to Dave....

YEah i bet you are. The Snow Gods for sure gave upstate NY the big middle finger and said here you go! haha not a bad way to spend the day tho IMO

I leave in 7 days for Maastricht.... I paid a pretty penny for my ticket. Almost 300 junior bacon cheeseburgers, but this is a once in a lifetime event. My girlfriend just doesnt get it:ugh Either way we are all gonna have a blast. Update on a meeting spot and time???????? Im probably riding train in from Maastricht to spend the whole day. Its about a 2hr ride.... Was gonna drive, but ill probably be in what we like to call "rare form". :lol :D

See you there.

x2. Though I may have a couple drinks before hand. Best time I had at a concert was the Blossom last year. I drank nothing but water and attended the show by myself. I just eat up the atmosphere and all of the different types of people surrounding me, and we all share this one common love for music.....

[TwoStepJeff]

yeah I could not agree with you guys more than I do. I love getting a couple drinks and just doing what we do haha. My friends want to smoke pot and I wanna be clear as a bell. can't wait to soak up the atmoshpere with you guys!

On another note.. Have we gotten on a first name basis yet??

I'm Jeff

I hope it's not like that also.

And I fear that this show will be one of the worst (hoping not) I think the mixture of available drugs and our fellow Americans could be a recipe for disaster.. Here's to hoping!

Thanks for looking out for me bro!
I be arriving in the Dam Thursday,and i actually hav a mate or 2 living there.One of them is coming back tomarrow to dublin for the Dave show,so i'll ask him to go to the Venue and see what Bars are around that are good.

If this helps maybe with the Pre/post show Activites:)

[ylojakt]

Count me in as one of the 1200 who has a ticket (wow!). I exchanged emails with Mike a few weeks about meeting. I'm getting there on Friday afternoon. I'm seeing the Paris show on the 6th, so it'll interesting to compare with Amsterdam. I can't make the 10am "crawl", but would like to meet later in the day. I know the Paradiso is near Leidseplein square. But since I've never been to Amsterdam, so don't know any specific cafes/bars. Maybe meet in front of Paradiso sometime in the afternoon and go find something from there?

[PTP1999]

Am travelling from Devon UK with my wife to pick up my friend and fellow WH member from Southampton and then we're flying to the Dam to meet a friend that's flying in from Austria. So unbelievably excited about seeing Dave & Tim together, hope that the combination of good smoke and mellow vibes will discourage people from shouting out.

Will keep an eye on this thread and will try and meet up with people beforehand.

SO EXCITED!!!!

side step here a bit....

one thing we all must do is agree on a place to meet before the show for a group picture to post up here on ants. I say in the line outisde Paradiso would be the place. I will bring the camera. I would love the shot anyway.

Fantastic idea! Gotta spread some Amsterdam love to the rest of the Ants community! Count me in! Would this be Scott or Crystal posting...?

[ylojakt]

A group photo is a must. I'm bringing a camera, too. I always sneak one in at DMB shows, so I'm guessing it won't be an issue this time unless there's full body search. Turn off the flash and go into stealth mode. And I'll bring an extra memory card for video clips.

What age groups are we looking at here? I just turned 25. I love meeting new people of all ages. At blossom last year I sat next to a woman in her mid 50s whom was a real estate agent, and she had her mother there with her. They were so nice, and I just love to see all the different types of ants out there that share the same love for this music. Her and her mother were chanting #41.

[maxkosman]

well I know this is a long shot, and I dont mean to clog the boards, but my 21st birthday is the day before the amsterdam show...I'm studying in Prague, and I'm going to be in Amsterdam to celebrate regardless. Obviously, it would be an unforgettable experience if I could my hands on a ticket or two for the show, so if anyone happens to be selling... my e-mail address is mkosman@sas.upenn.edu

[crzynickey]

The Bulldog, come join us...
How close is the Bulldog to the venue, or other activities around?

[brewdog]

See you there: Frankfurt - Brussels - AMSTERDAM - Berlin - Köln

[Jimithingdude]

Hey guys, I'm new to the board! Will be attending 3/10 show from NY by myself. So I was wondering if there are any other people going by themselves that are looking for company or just anyone here in general looking to link up before the show to hang out.

Mike, had to hop on late night to thank you for the link. I was at the bar when you IM'd me haha.. sorry brother!

[aircavmike]

How hard does everyone think it will be to find a ticket outside the venue before the show? anyone have any experiences doing this at the Paradiso?

[JohnnyRock41]

Hey I made it I'm an ant. Amsterdam. Come one, come all to the greatest bud crawl on earth. For those of you DAM virgins You are invited. I'm Johnny and I will be your guide. Saturday 3/10 10 am (or so) Barneys. We will make our way through the city down to Leidseplein (with many coffee breaks in between) before the show. Then off around the corner to the Paradiso for the most excelent Dave Matthews show. A spendid time for all. If anyone will be in the DAM the prior week, Branford Marsalis is at the Concert Gebouw on 3/7, and a great reggae show with Tanya Stephens at the Melkweg 3/9. Will also meet up with ants on Fri nite at the Sattelite Sports Cafe in Leidseplein. Amsterdam come for the music..... stay for the coffee.

Be excellent to each other and party on, dude.

Hi everyone, I've been perusing the ants forums for years and finally caved and became a member (really I just didnt become a member until now out of lazyness)

anyways, I just got my hands on my very own amsterdam march 10th ticket and will be flying in by myself, was wondering if someone could give me a number i could txt msg and meet up with you guys during your coffee crawl as I dont know where anything is and think it would be amazing to meet up with ants from around the world for this show. I'm from Toronto, Canada on exchange for the semester in Scotland and will be landing in Amsterdam around noon. if someone could pm me a cell number to txt msg once i get into town it would be such an amazing experience to do this with you all.


and by the way, the Glasgow show was absolutly amazing!

[DMBScotland]

How is everyone getting from Brussels to Amsterdam? Do you need to book trains in advance or can you just turn up at station - and if so - what station?

Thanks

[samuraiwriter]

From our research it will be fine to just buy a ticket on the day.
But maybe someone else can confirm this.

[bdpjumbi]

Ugh! I just lost on the last tix on eBay. They went for £190 sterling. I guess I will take my chances at the show. If anyone has an extra ticket and can part with it, please let me know. Otherwise, I am at the mercy of the scalpers. :shrug
