never... you'll have to wait until you physically get the tickets. It'll be sort of like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

That's how 10-Club is with Pearl Jam member seats.

You have no idea where your seats are until the day of the show. They also lottery off 1st, 5th, and 10th row seats in this 10-Club system that everyone is eligible for.

I have my fingers crossed for sick seats when I get to Buffalo next Monday!! :multi :multi

that sounds like a good system...the WH should take some pointers from this 10-club :thumbsup

i'm saying we will know seat locations on the day they ship.

Hey I was thinking about getting a vip ticket via the website. If i did would anybody want to pick up my ticket for 120? i may try to sell it on ebay . . .

i would love to buy a VIP ticket for $120 :lol

seriously tho...if you are selling a normal single i will take it. mandy has been lookin everywhere for a ticket.

[Jeff31b]

Hey I was thinking about getting a vip ticket via the website. If i did would anybody want to pick up my ticket for 120? i may try to sell it on ebay . . .

There would be A LOT of people looking for a single. :thumbsup Please don't resort to Ebay and dig into scalper world.

[10-31]

I know. I mean I could easily get it for like 300 or so hundred on ebay. Ive seen a single selling for 600$ but here it goes to good hands. It all depends on If I get a 1250$ vip ticket . . . . .


If I did scalp it would help offset the 1250 dollars for a CHANCE to meet dave . .. . .

[kfpoling]

i could sell all three tickets i have for D&T and that would pay for a VIP ticket....


but I would rather give the other two tickets to some good people who cant afford to pay hundreds :)

[10-31]

eggsactly. but if i pay for those tickets my pockets are gonna hurt for awhile.


but it is tax deductible.. . .. . .

[Brohan_Santana]

I wanted to see if anyone had any pre-DAR plans yet. I know some people talked about going to Exchange Saloon (http://www.theexchangesaloon.com/) before the show for a drink or two.

I made a quick map on Google, this has to be one of the closest taverns to DAR.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

This is definitely not some fruufee kinda place so it's perfect place to warm up those vocal chords before the show!

[10-31]

Oh. so where are yall gonna be before the show? any set plans yet? I think espn zone is close on penn avenue. otherwise a-mo is maybe 15-20$ cab ride away . . . . g-town is closer . . . ..

Getting pumped! Never seen D&T before but always wanted to. I will be in ORCH row O. See you all at The Exchange before!

Anyone know if there is an opener?

[hoggdogg]

are the tickets shipping next week? I thought I read somewhere they were going out the 10th... I guess we'll at least know our seats when they show up at our door, eh...

[mooseank1]

maybe just maybe because its the end of the week before they get shipped out they'll give us a sweet weekend gift with our seating assignments. i know we'll have the tix in our hand soon but it would still just be nice to know for funzies

[Sleepr56]

According to the WH site, May 10th is the ship date :cool

[crazyDMBfan]

I don't think we will know the seat locations until the tickets are delivered...which I'm fine with. I don't care where my seats are, it doesn't change anything and it will be impossible for anyone to upgrade. It's almost like waiting for Christmas. :-)

So the Xchange is where its at for pre game???? first time to DC so not familiar with the surrounding watering holes...holy shit 13 days

I believe that is the consensus thus far.. if you check out that map it its only a 7ish minute walk from DAR. Never been there but I hear it's fun.

[hoggdogg]

Take it for what it is, but every time I have been to the Exchange, the service was HORRIBLE!!!
Last time I went down for a show at the DAR, I waited 65 min for my food and was only able to get 1 beer. And they werent even busy.


There are LOTS of other places between where most people will park and the venue... you may be better off going elsewhere.

Most of the times I've been there it's been fine - granted it was with a kickball team and we were obviously pumping a lot of money into their registers. I think if you don't go in expecting a meal and just want some drinks - it'll do the job!

There are so many opportunities for rarities to pop up, I am so fuckin excited.. to be inside this building is enough.

people sit...or people SHOULD sit.

been to one other d&t...its a lot more chill type of event than full band...if you smoke you will be golden if not its still a great time....there will be less played tunes (SD particular) and probably a couple stories.

i can't wait to get my tickets this week!!

[jas230314]

If there was a show that monkey man would ever be teased or played at, it would be this one! Full band would be less likely because they all have to learn it. Dave probably remembers the chords, if nothing else.

I think we should either get a couple signs, or a small chant going (respectfully) to get Dave to at least address it. I know, i know, let them play what they want... but how freaking awesome would it be to have the bragging rights that we heard the first and probably last MONKEY MAN tease/live performance.

I'm listening to track #10 of the LWS right now.

[jas230314]

anyone going to the reception should mention it to Dave and Tim. If they hear about it from a few people there, then at the show, they will do or say something for sure.

Stone was an INCREDIBLE opener in Vegas - - but I agree that Proudest Monkey would be pretty darn cool. But probably midway in the show as he will have a good story to tell before playing it. Maybe Cry Freedom for an opener?

most d&t shows as of recently are around 2 hours...give or take, so anywhere from 1:50-2:30...but 2 and a half is pushing it...i'd just expect around 2.
as far as a late dinner maybe someone else can give you some advice there on eating after 10:30

[crazyDMBfan]

Just spoke to the warehouse to inform them about the tracking number link error. The web link was going to UPS as opposed to FedEx. They will NOT be releasing seat assignments, so we have to wait until Wednesday to get the locations.

The information I got from the Jane Goodall Inst. regarding the VIP meet-n-greet tickets for the show stated the show was to be at least 3 hrs long in length... not sure if that is 100% factual, or just a way to get people to buy $2500 a piece charity tix, so take it for what it is.

thanks for the heads up... trust me i want the show to be as long as possible but this is a mini vacation for me, so i am planning on making every night a late one

i've checked a few places around the area... most restaurants close between 9 and 10 on thursdays.. ugh

time to keep on searching for a late night place.... i'm gonna need a nice stiff drink and some good food to calm my nerves after this show HA

any locals? thanks

[jjr4884]

The information I got from the Jane Goodall Inst. regarding the VIP meet-n-greet tickets for the show stated the show was to be at least 3 hrs long in length... not sure if that is 100% factual, or just a way to get people to buy $2500 a piece charity tix, so take it for what it is.

Cant wait! :bounce
the show itself? or the entire night including the meet-n-greet...

Hello Kim,

The reception promises to be a rare chance to mingle with Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds and Dr. Jane Goodall for 1 ½ hours. It begins at 6:00 pm and goes until the concert starts at 7:30 pm. Just yesterday we saw the space at DAR Constitution Hall…reception attendees will enter through a private entry and will be able to enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks while chatting with Dr. Goodall, Dave and Tim. There will be some brief remarks during the reception from Dr. Goodall and probably Dave Matthews. Most likely we will have a singed book by Jane available for all reception attendees. There should be a photo opportunity also. Close to 7:30 pm attendees will be escorted to the concert and take their seats in the first seven rows. After brief remarks by Jane, Tim and Dave, the concert will begin and will last at least 3 hours.

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for your interest and I’ll look for you at the reception and concert on May 20th.

Not sure about the immediate surrounding area for food/drink but RFD in Chinatown should be open relatively late. Would be a cheap cab ride. I believe they serve food late too. DC's largest beer selection (300+ bottles and a lot of taps).

[Jigga9JayZ]

if it does last 3 hours this will be awesome. thanks for the info...i was just basing it off of the last couple years of d&t shows.

reading that makes me wish i had a couple grand to blow on the meet and greet.. grrrr.


and its a bummer we aren't getting assignments...guess i will have to wait until wednesday

I would be surprised if the show is in fact 3 hours, not like I will complain if it does (although I will be awefully tired Friday at work , but well worth it).

I will be waiting anxiously for my tickets to arrive to see where I am sitting... this is such a small venue, I will be happy with wherever I am :D

yea i'd say a 2 and a half would be likely if they claim around 3....but the longer the better IMO.

i'm glad its a small venue or i might be upset with the back seats the WH is sure to give me :D

[jas230314]

i have tickets that I got through stubhub as a christmas gift - but i have to say, after looking on ebay and stubhub, there are almost NO tickets available (nor have there been) for the orchestra section at all. All tickets that have been sold have been in the tier.

Coming from someone who wont benefit from this, I really think the warehouse people will be mid to back orchestra. meet and greet people will probably have front sections. But I would put money on you guys being on the floor - why else would the warehouse literally not tell you where you were sitting?

Enjoy the show :)

Yessir. I'm not a scalper. Andy's WH account got fucked by his buddie. He got SPAC lawns at WH, sold them at face (4-5 years ago), to a friend of a friend, and that kid scalped them in the lots for more then face. Someone turned the ticket seats in, his account got locked, had to fight WH for awhile to get back to action, but now stuck with Will-Call for all shows

It's hard to define both cheap and close in DC. But have you looked across the water in Virginia (Arlington to be specific)? There are plenty of hotels available in Rosslyn and Courthouse (first two stops into VA and relatively "close" to get to Constitution Hall).

Hilton Garden Inn in Courthouse is like not even 2 blocks from the metro station and has a great bar (Ragtimes) next to it as well. Just looked and cheapest room for the night of the 20th is $219 (before the hit you with taxes of course)

http://www.hiltongardeninn.com/en/gi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=DCAARGI

It's also a dirt cheap cab ride if you don't want to bother with metro.

Courthouse is actually where I live and I'll be using Metro to get there for the concert.

[Jigga9JayZ]

You can stay as far as Montgomery County in Maryland still be "close" by metro. (Bethesda, SilverSpring, Rockville, etc)
TONS of hotels in the area.

[Jigga9JayZ]

yea it does sound too good to be true...but it would be sweet if it was....i'd say seniority based from a 99 account will at least put you in the first 10 rows tho...depending on how/what they do the first 7 rows of VIPs that didn't sell....that could push it back further.

[JohnnyTsunami]

tickets aren't senority based anymore are they? I thought it was all random starting this year?

[meatball41]

I think you're correct. Pretty sure they made that change a few years ago.

[crashintonickdm]

I wonder if there will be tapers?

[Jigga9JayZ]

the seniority has been a debate for this show...most people believe it will be...but others say since its a single night its not.

i'd say it will be seniority based...as far as i know they did not change it to all random either...but i dont keep up on whats going on aaaannnd have been proven wrong already on this forum...lol :lol

Does anyone know what the rules are for the venue as far as cameras go? I heard that P&S cameras were ok, but no video cameras are allowed. Never been to DAR so anyone got any info? Thanks

Last time I was there, they didnt care. It was for a comedy show though.

I think it depends on the performer & the promoter over all...

[mryark]

A few things -

I am willing to bet WH members who requested tickets will be sitting in the ORCH. Trust me on this. There are a few factors, also including that ticket brokers don't have the inventory of ORCH seats and never really had many.

Also, for those who have never been to DAR - it can be a real pain in the ass to get a drink. There are like 3 bars total, and lines get really long. Also, last show I saw there, they stopped serving drinks like 15 minutes into the concert starting. Who knows if they will this time or if they just cut off at a certain time, but its best not to rely on getting many drinks at the venue.

Can't wait!

[warehouseguy]

So, we thinking what, 19-22 songs, or more like 25-29 songs (like 2003 shows)

wow, looks like that's the last row of the orchestra. anybody know if the balcony overhangs? i hope not!

[Ronwhtwrth]

Sec-C row N....Looking at Dar seating chart there is no row N!! What does that mean?

If you look closely at the attached seating chart, row N is actually the last row of the section. Those are actually really outstanding seats. I have attended numerous concerts at DAR and some of the best seats in the house are 2-3 sections from the stage, because at least for some shows, Sections A, B, U and V feel almost like you're on the side of, or almost behind the stage. But there honestly is not a bad seat in the house.

http://www.dar.org/pics/conthall/seatchrtbig.gif

I'm on row N all the way back in Section J, but there isn't a bad seat in the house, right?

How can you complain about ORCH Row T???? Some people are wayyy too greedy :BANG

[Ronwhtwrth]

how do you know that they are center seats? the only thing thats listed for me is ORCH Row B

I meant Orchestra...there really aren't any side view type floor seats there though, as is often the case at big arena shows, etc....for those who haven't been to this venue, I can't stress enough how tiny it is. I had my high school graduation there for God's sakes (many moons ago...DMB was playing frat parties at the time). So glad everyone seems to have fared so well...see you all at the show!

[gromitvt]

there goes the senority out the window member since jan 98 row T

Did you mean you were a member since Jan 99? Just curious since WH didn't form until Dec of 98.

[JohnnyTsunami]

08 member sec R row G but only the 4th row in the section cause its tiered. Sooo Pumped!

Ya i ment 99 jan 25 and i wasnt complaining i just stated it wasnt senority since people who joined later are closer.

[ComeNDnceWithMe]

how do you know that they are center seats? the only thing thats listed for me is ORCH Row B

Yours are row B, right-center or left-center. There are two "center" sections, then an "outer" section on each side of the two "center" sections.

I think the consensus is Exchange Saloon. I posted this awhile back (below). I believe our group is getting there sometime between 4-5.

Ants-

I wanted to see if anyone had any pre-DAR plans yet. I know some people talked about going to Exchange Saloon (http://www.theexchangesaloon.com/) before the show for a drink or two.

I made a quick map on Google, this has to be one of the closest taverns to DAR. gmap (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=113370844870545514941.000485d9ab427f34d76dd)

i'm hoping if i can talk to someone at the bar and saying we have a group of 50+ looking for somewhere to go they'll give us some kind of special. worked in vegas for us

i can't wait.

I go to the Exchange pretty frequently, I can ask for specials since we have a group coming, but I'm not sure they'll be able to offer what is not already listed on the Thursday specials. I'll request that we get outdoor seating for you smokers out there (no smoking indoors in DC).

Outdoor seating would be awesome

Congrats WH members on your amazing seats! Defintely explains why they held back on seat announcements. We are part of the VIP group and some of you have comparable seats to ours! That's fabulous!

Hi. This is Dan here with your AccuView Weather forecast. Our forecast for Thursday, May 20th is scattered showers (40% chance) with a high of 79 and a low of 62. I'll keep you posted throughout the week in hopes that our Ants "tailgate" doesn't get moved indoors. :bounce

VIP group? Do you mean you are one of the people that paid the $1,250 to get the meet and greet or do you have some kind of VIP connection through Dave/Red Light?

And what specials do they have at The Exchange on Thurs? haha

Nope, we paid the $1,250 per and a good part of it is the combination of my being a huge Dave and Tim fan and my husband being psyched (as I am too) to meet Jane Goodall. We are also contemplating a trip to Africa with the Jane Goodall Institue, in which case the contribution also goes towards that end.

That's fair. I'm a huge Dave and Tim fan but the reason they are even doing this show is to celebrate 50 years of Jane Goodall's pioneering research on chimpanees in Gombe, Tanzania. So let's all be happy that Dave and Tim admire Jane and her work.

Haha I was just kidding. :hug

Well, I had HEARD of Jane Goodall before this concert was announced, but I'll be honest -- I didn't know she was a primate researcher until after.

And I'll admit it helped convince my husband on the VIP deal when he knew he'd meet Jane, whereas I'd have been content with meeting Dave and Tim. He's the science guy, I'm the musician, -- we are gonna have a blast!

I'll be right there with you! What seats did you end up getting?

[jas230314]

for fucks sake guys, thats just insane

congratulations, I am pumped to be in the last row, in the tier.

[crazyDMBfan]

orch hh, eh

Hey girl, I've been following your updates about where you've sat at some of the shows you've been to in the past, including 3rd row for Vegas. You were able to get 3 tickets to arguably the hardest show to get tickets to this tour. I know that you also have some Pitt tickets for this tour. Please be thankful for the tickets that you're always able to get! It'll be a good good time if you're first row or last row. Sorry for venting a little, but you've really been blessed at getting really close seats. I've been following the band around for 12 years and haven't sat as close as you nor have I met Dave yet.

:thumbsup great post

[jas230314]

ebay has so few tickets for this show but since yesterday after WH seating was found out, suddenly 3 pairs of orchestra seats have popped up, all of which listed for at least triple what they are worth.

It is a real shame that even warehouse members, with just over a week til the show, still want to scalp their tickets. I wish I knew how to report them.

[CRASHintoNATE]

Orchestra Row M. No complaints here, the WH has really come through for me this time! 8 days!!! :bounce

[aircavmike]

Ya i ment 99 jan 25 and i wasnt complaining i just stated it wasnt senority since people who joined later are closer.


it was senority based. It's just how the WH filled the seats in, no different than any other senority based show.

[Sleepr56]

I want it to be Thursday the 20th, tomorrow :D
