***Official Hershey 2010 Thread***

[RyanMcKay]

Hey, I've already posted this in the ticketexchange forum, but does anybody have an extra front GA that they are looking to get rid of?

never mind! Thanks

[dre2142]

You can tell Dave is coming to Hershey. Just checked AccuWeathers forecast for the 9th and they're calling for rain. Sounds about right, but hopefully it changes by then. :BANG On a side note, where is the tailgate? I'm staying at Hershey Campground, anyone else?


lol...more than two weeks out...its summer time man. Chance of rain/thunderstorms practically every day of the summer around here

[dre2142]

wow! that's dumb...rethinking going now :lol i dont wanna be in the middle of 6-8k people


Total seating capacity for concerts is 30k.

Seating capacity for football/soccer setup is 16k. That leaves 14k on the floor

6 sections arent even used for the DMB shows, so theyre probably getting 10k in the grandstands.

That being said, If I remember correctly they only sold less than 20k tickets last year....its not as bad as ya think on the floor

[BeckySwi]

Isnt the stage like 10 feet high?



someone wrote in an earlier that post that they lowered the stage and have been doing a lot of renovations on it.

[hmich176]

The stage is definitely lower than what it was in the past. I was at the Phish show at the stadium and it was easy to see from up front.

[Andrew101]

What time are people getting there for the WH line? I have work until 12-1 and a 4 hour drive :( (I think my speed may change that though ;) )

[pathetic]

i was wondering this as well...driving from Long Island...leaving early in the morning though

[pathetic]

says a 4hr drive. so about 3.5 prob.

[Beebz]

Excited for the show. Not excited for the drunk mob pushing to the front that will be upfront GA. I think its going to be a complete clusterfuck that night.

[dre2142]

they stop selling beer at 830 btw. lol.

[Andrew101]

i was wondering this as well...driving from Long Island...leaving early in the morning though

Yeah. I mean i dont know much about the doors, still waiting for the tickets. But im freaking excited!:bounce

[WCJTR1279]

yes they do which sucks :lol

[WCJTR1279]

Wow the set is going to suck balls calling it now!! dont even think its worth going after CAmden and Alpine no way it can top that.


it has not been the best set in years, was in 04 you never know might get a great show! and who cares if other shows top it, i knwo i dont care thats the first of 6 shows ill be going to in a week lol

[breckbrew]

for the folks driving in from out of town, I would try to be in the Hershey area by around 3-3:30. After that, especially after 4, the Harrisburg/Hershey area gets pretty blocked up with traffic.

We will be eating and drinking at Arooga's. Best wings in the area. Beer is served ice cold. LaBatts and 10 other brands on tap. 12 min from Hershey Park.

[dre2142]

:lol

:confused fill me in




:multi:multi


I too will be in the front GA, and if anyone crammed in near me even thinks to "blaze up", I will politely ask them not to, and if they continue to do so, I will hit it out of there hands and stomp on it:thumbsup Some of us want to remember the show...sorry that's a crime (and yes it is a crime to smoke weed so dnt make a smartass comment about how its perfectly fine).

.....No, the people who want to remember the show are the ones who do not smoke...Thts why they dont do it, in no way was tht comment supposed to come off as a "second-hand" kinda comment. It's illegal and a burden to those who want to not be bothered by douchebags that think theyre cool. Dont try to say there is no argument here, because easily there is:lol

Gotta admit, that was kinda funny:lol but seriously, if you can't be curteous to the people around you and their wishes, then you'll face the consequences...lots and lots of cops around:rolleyes

No, this is not what I am saying at all, I am not worried about "contact high", its gonna bother me either way, get over it.:lol

Sweet dude, grow up:thumbsup Can't wait to smack the blunt right outta ur hands :lol

Haha, because you know me right??:lol You always have somethng clever to say when it comes to me and a situation not concerning you. I'm glad you find it necessary to do that.:thumbsup



This is different, this will be a jampacked clusterfuck of people, breathing down your neck, if your doing something illegal and pissing people off around you, something will be done. The tanked guy is perfectly fine, because hes not breaking a law. Sweet buddy:thumbsup

[pathetic]

:multi:multi

blololol this brahhhh with be slappin a lot of bluntzzz i guess :lol

contact high and not remembering the show hahaha thanks for the laugh :lol :lol omg this stuff is great...i love it

just booked twin grove campgrounds for friday night :thumbsup tried hershey park campgrounds and lickdale, and they were both booked...

Serving the wings on top of the fries is really why I like Aroogas. Wing sauce covering the fries = :babe

ISO: cheap hershey ticket:evil

[mlobster78]

So since there seem to be a lot of Ants camping at the Hershey Campground, I am thinking we all should have a big gathering at the campground. We are coming up Thursday afternoon and staying until Saturday. I would be up for partying Thursday night and Friday after the show if we can get something organized. Maybe we should figure out where we all are (which lot #) and take a look at the campground map and find a central spot. We have a camper so I would be up for people coming over to us.

Mike - Lot #4 (pretty central spot)

Let's do this!

I have a ton of beer and hard stuff, and maybe we can slap the bag of Twisted Tea as well! :freak

you can also email me @ mlobster78@yahoo.com

That Aroogas has the worst weekend crowd ever. The one on 39 is much better.

Although I once saw a guy so wasted there when it was Kokomos that he was sitting on one of the stools where the pool tables are, stood up, instantly blacked out, fell, and smashed his skull on the oak bar runner that encircled the entire area. It was one of the funniest things Ive ever seen.

they stop selling beer at 830 btw. lol.

What? I know I got beer later than that last year.

Im coming into Hershey on the backside, as I wont be getting up there until 4 or 5ish.
Avoiding harrisburg area as much as I can

Taking the Hershey Highway up the backside, eh?

[DancingGreppies]

That's why we are going to the Rt.22 Arooga's. No crowd. Just a DMB crowd and ice cold beer. 12 min from the park.

[mfine]

got my warehouse tickets yesterday. a little over a week to go!

Lol... Nice response... But seriously what campground

[Waters8211]

Hey guys, I have a pair of Hershey Park GA Front Field Tickets for Friday July 9th that I need to sale. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to attend the show. These are Hard Tickets and I am trying to sell them for Face Value plus fees. I will be away from my computer so please call me at (864) 420-1435 if interested. Thanks.

[jiggajm18]

Wow someone is actually thereatening to rough up someone that smokes near him/her? That's ridiculous

[pathetic]

twin grove campground about 30min away

yahhh...sounds like a real brahhh

[jiggajm18]

I mean, I'm not saying I wish it was a smokefest at shows. In fact, I think I've smoked at maybe 2 of the 27 shows I've gone to.

But let's be realistic. The problem at dmb shows is unarguably the drinking, not the smoking. That's not even debatable

And to argue that people shouldn't smoke pot because its technically 'illegal' is just ridiculous - a large amount of the drinking (especially the heavy drinking) is done by underagers

[dre2142]

What? I know I got beer later than that last year.





Mustve been on the other side of the stadium, because the side I was on was totally closed down. May have been 845, but it was definately before 9pm.

[dayswonder]

i just checked Hershey's website, they are selling tickets in section 30 as best available...

there is going to be a shitload of people

[breckbrew]

Hershey somehow already has 5 stars in the tour central listing. Someone's predicting a great show.

this is true. i love the people stumbling around, starting fights, pissing in the pit, screaming while dave's talking(public intoxication???) and then telling me it's illegal to smoke pot :lol

ive been to 36 shows and prob smoked at almost every one of them and the ones that i cant remember are the ones that i got really drunk at.

if the smoke bothers someone, that's totally different, i'll find a different spot or just squat down...

One week! Hope this years show is better than last

[dmbdrmr321]

Has anyone ever met the band at the hotel in Hershey? I'm reading all these stories about people meeting them in Camden. I can't imagine they'd stay at the Hotel Hershey, it seems so close, but I don't think there is much else close by (the lodge maybe)? I'm staying at the hotel, is anyone else? Not trying to be a stalker here, and I don't expect anyone to post any detailed info on the board, but I'm certainly curious.

[Andrew101]

If camden n2 is the show of what would come, i cant wait for my only band show of the tour.

[pathetic]

i hope they dont treat hershey like a n1 of a 2 night stand

[RiotAct]

why yes DMB; I will take tonight's set at Hershey, thank you very much.

They usually stay at the Harrisburg Hilton.

[gravedigger dan]

just got back from 2 nights of camden and real pumped for Hershey, especially if they bring out some gems at alpine

[paramedic7d]

any chance there is someone looking to get onto GA Front and exchange for reserved seats? Or the chance I will be able to sell four GA front seats without a problem?

[Chrisspike]

just sagged tix to this exceptional once a year diamond in the rough ;). Hows the tailgate scene going to look?

looks like tailgating is going to be decent this year because it might actually not rain for the 4th year in a row. as long as you dont go crazy cops should leave you alone no problem

[Andrew101]

Is there going to be an Ants Tailgate? Im trying to do my best to get there early, but I also want to be pretty close to the stage. I have WH Fronts.

[Chrisspike]

On WH it sounded as though there was going to be a joint (as in together!) tailgating effort. Did that pan out?

[RyanMcKay]

same question about ants tailgate. I have GA fronts (warehouse) but would love to eat drink and meet some people

Pretty sure those are GA Front... mine's a WH ticket, and it says "GAF3" for the section.

[sleepoutside86]

is there anything semi official goin on via wh/ants for tailgate cuz im hitting hershey alone this year

[gonz085]

Im not too happy that it appears WH members will be able to get into the GA pit before others, b/c my buddy and I are planning on being there bright and early to make sure we get front and center, but oh well.

I truly believe we are going to get a show of the same caliber as the one in '04. Alpine will be over, and they have that one night stand in between in NY where they can get rid of some of the normal rotation songs and some of the BW ones. Here's to hoping that happens.

[tonisz]

Thanks RiotAct! Yes, it was confirmed they are front. can't wait!

[vaultr12]

I need one wh ga front for my sister it's her first show and she has to sit with me so I need one

So is there literally going to be a GA front and GA back? I dont see that happening how would they split it up?

Not really, but you know.

My apologies for not backreadin. Can anyone tell me any truth to the rumor that WH GA Floor tickets are bein let in early?? If this is true...does anyone know what time that would be? Haven't been to Hershey since 2004...and that was a hell of a show!! Lookin forward to a great show!! Thanks!

Well...even if you arent going crazy, theyll walk by and ID. So if youre underage, keep an eye out for them when theyre walking around and be sure to not have a drink in your hand. Also be careful about the undercover cops walking around.

[dre2142]

So is there literally going to be a GA front and GA back? I dont see that happening how would they split it up?

The same way they usually split the seated front with the general admission "lawn" in the back- with an aisle in between and gates.

[adrock500]

Anyone know what the Zac Brown Band setlists were for the past 2 nights at Alpine. Really looking forward to seeing this band live.

hop we get something like Alpine N2 2010 set, and a SPAC N2 2009 encore.


why an Alpine N2 set instead of Camden n2? camden had the much more solid set. and how about just a repeat of Hershey 08's encore?

[KWeb110]

I will gladly take anyone of OSW, SG, or DIDO at Hershey. I'm just hoping for a good run of songs to go with the 5 or 6 BW's we'll get.

Also, when anyone gets set details on the WH GA tickets and when/where we get in early, posting it would be sweet. Have heard about 10 different things in the last two weeks.

Even years are good years in Hershey!

[dball2]

Well well well...it just wouldn't be Hershey if it didn't rain! The forecast now is calling for scattered thunderstorms and a high of 89. WTF is it with Hershey and rain?! Although, the last two years it rained during the tailgate and the weather was great during the show...it cooled it off and it felt great outside.

On a more pleasant note...I just got back from vacation and and waaaaaay too far back in the thread now to catch up. Any word yet on a big tailgate?

[dball2]

ps: not asking anybody to feel bad for me about being behind since I was just on vacation.

[crashintonickdm]

only 30% chance. thats not that bad.

and if rain = JTR during the setlist, I'll deal with it!

[JohnnyTsunami]

yeah it did just pour out of nowhere last year :lol

[phillyfan1028]

i know this may have been asnwered already, but whats the deal with ga? on the venue map it says theres to ga sections, front lawn and back lawn. do you need to get special tickets to get in the front, or is it first come first serve?

there are front tickets and rear tickets

[crashintonickdm]

so the old "lawn" from years past is now 75 dollars and GA pit rear?

[dre2142]

I thought the rears were still 41

[crashintonickdm]

GA and GA pit are different. no?

if there is a rear GA pit, where is it? im confused as hell.

[dre2142]

1st row in each section is A or AA? I forget and Im second guessing myself now since Ive read both.

[dre2142]

GA and GA pit are different. no?

There is no pit.

General Admission Front Field for $70+, and General Admission Rear Field for $41.

[dre2142]

1st row in each section is A or AA? I forget and Im second guessing myself now since Ive read both.

I called- in the Grandstand, the 1st 6 rows are AA through EE. So row A is actually 6 rows up.

Im in Section 6, row W, so Im 28 rows up.

[crashintonickdm]

There is no pit.

General Admission Front Field for $70+, and General Admission Rear Field for $41.

ah, okay. i always knew the GA behind thte SBD was 40. i just thought the section in front of thte SBD was chopped into 2 parts.

[dball2]

ah, okay. i always knew the GA behind thte SBD was 40. i just thought the section in front of thte SBD was chopped into 2 parts.

Typically (I don't know if this is changed for the DMB show this year or all concerts at Hershey), the front half of the field is actual seats, and the back half (behind the SBD) is/was GA. This year it is just 2 GA's, front and rear.

We will probably get hello again somewhere in there and cornbread

[dball2]

just finalized my plans for Hershey, but realized I'm going to need a hotel for the night. Any suggestions on a place thats cheap and within 20 minutes or so.. would prefer to avoid Harrisburg I'm thinking.

There are hotels in New Cumberland that would probably be pretty cheap. They are about 20 minutes or so from Hershey (minus traffic).

[gonz085]

songs I would like to hear in hershey:

The Stone
Drive In, Drive Out
Say Goodbye
Busted Stuff
Pig
One Sweet World
Digging A Ditch
I'll Back You Up
Break For It
Seek Up
Nancies
Warehouse
Blue Water (partial)
Proudest Monkey
Cry Freedom
So Right
Kit Kat Jam

I know that's pretty much a show's worth of songs (songs they won't all play in one show) but I'd like to see 7-8 of those pop up.

oh, and Good Good Time as a dream wish.

[KWeb110]

^^^ you should add JTR to that list for me since it has missed both of us at SPAC and Camden!

[JRod4781]

Coming from Philly... what time do they start letting people in to tailgate? Was hoping to leave at 8 AM and get there to start tailgating at 10 AM. Thoughts?

[gonz085]

^^^ you should add JTR to that list for me since it has missed both of us at SPAC and Camden!

ah, so true. thank you for that addition.

I do think we'll get a banging show tho.

[DMBzilla]

If I end up making the trip, I'd like to see JTR, Say Goodbye, What Would You Say, Halloween, Break for It, Blue Water, DIDO, One Sweet World, I'll Back You Up and Sweet Up & Down, plus a solid tour debut or two like GGT, Typical or The Dreaming Tree.

something good is bound to pop up and hershey is due a good show.

[DMBzilla]

I support this 100%. I would love to see Fool to Think. It's great live, and it would be even better with Tim.

My only reservation about going is if they view it as a no-name venue and play the show accordingly, which has definitely happened in the past. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of the Alpine debuts make an appearance, as well as one or two bustouts, and that's making my decision really hard.

[blackslip]

Had tickets to Hershey last year but never made it. Thought I had an assigned floor seats, but this year it looks like all GA. Has something changed or has it always been like this? How does that work out, everyone standing, crowded, big area? Sorry if this has been discussed, long thread to back read.

[blackslip]

Found it. Wow, all GA this year. Yuck.

[dre2142]

Coming from Philly... what time do they start letting people in to tailgate? Was hoping to leave at 8 AM and get there to start tailgating at 10 AM. Thoughts?

Its an amusement park, so the lots open 1st thing in the morning.

This is the bands first show since alpine. I cant figure out if thats a good thing in terms of getting things like Say Goodbye or OSW played.

Or if they will come in just looking to cruise thru and not play anything special

[JohnnyTsunami]

Its really alot better than seats at the front. As long as youre willing to get in early and get close, then its all worth it

[dayswonder]

i would assume a good thing, i would have no idea why they would only want to play them once since they took all of that time brush the dust off of them

they have to know people really want to hear them, isnt that why the played them?

but you know how it goes

[KWeb110]

If it wasn't for the Pit and front GA's this year, I never would be able to get so close without WH membership or hundreds of dollars to spend at Ebay/Stubhub.

However, I do like having seats to come back to after a mid-set pee break. Will be tough at Hershey for people who wait in line and go in early, but due to a small bladder have to end up in the back of the section.

And I bet youll end up chilling near the back of the section anyways....lots of elbow room, space, etc, and youll still be close.

you're trying to talk logically about DMB playing songs. :lol


have you noticed the lack of plays for The Last Stop over the years? you think its because nobody wants to hear it? they know what people want to hear and they (dave) don't care. there will be some amazing songs that have already debuted played less than 5 times this year.

[dre2142]

yeah, theyre doing it on purpose to fuck over their fans....

[Beebz]

i hope they dont treat hershey like a n1 of a 2 night stand

This.

I really have no clue what to expect from this. They're coming off Alpine, its a nice long break, they have a good opener in a place they enjoy playing. I cant imagine its going to be too bad. As long as its better than last year, I'll be fine.

They usually stay at the Harrisburg Hilton.

Really? Surprised they travel downtown after the show.

1st row in each section is A or AA? I forget and Im second guessing myself now since Ive read both.

AA.

yeah, theyre doing it on purpose to fuck over their fans....

:lol:lol

[spoot388]

hershey usually gets pretty damn good sets for a 1 nighter. they may be fairly common songs and have high overall rarity rankings, but the sets are still good. definitely will be an enjoyable night.



and i'll be going and i'll be bringing a DMB virgin with me!! im excited. D+T today, Hershey Friday, cousin's wedding Saturday, Bethel Tuesday, Scranton Wednesday. gonna be a fuuuuunn week.

[spoot388]

so where's the best place to park to get out fast? in 06 i was in the park's lot and it took like 2 hours to get back to I-81. in 08 i parked at Wendy's and took back roads through some towns before getting to 81. is there like a back way out from the park's lot onto like Park Blvd so i can get down to 422??

Yeah I mean look at last year. Say goodbye showed up once all of last summer

and only once the year before

For WH members, I got this email from the WH staff....

"You will be allowed entrance one half hour prior to the door times and the gate information will be sent via email next week.

I have GA front tickets for Hershey, I know I am being a little impatient, but when will instructions come out on how to gain early access to the show? I need to plan my work schedule around it and I don’t want to be late . Thanks so much, you guys are the best!

Last year's setlist might have been the worst of the tour. 2005 was the worst in DMB history. The first half of 2008 was atrocious. If anything, Hershey tends to get below-average setlists, 2003 and 2004 excepted.

Also, I opted for emailed tickets and I still havent received them. That normal?

hahaha :hump, if you find out please tell me!! that is the one awful thing about Hershey - the parking lot and trying to get out after. Are plan is to sit back, drink some more in the parking lot after, and except the fact that we won't be leaving the lot for some time.

[spoot388]

well i have a wedding saturday afternoon, so i need to get home so i can sleep. :lol

not lying, park right in town, right on the street across from houlihan's. it's about a mile walk from the venue, but there is no traffic leaving.

[DmBand801]

What section is the best place to sit in the grandstands for sound and view?

[gocubsgo3822]

1. How is the sound?
2. How is the tailgating?
3. Do they have a merch tent outside?
4. Can you just show up and get tickets?
5. Why is buying tickets from them so difficult?

[DMBzilla]

What section is the best place to sit in the grandstands for sound and view?

I sat about 3/4 of the way up in Section 6 for Phish this year, and the sound was pretty awesome. They may have gotten a new PA system there, because I remember the sound being pretty low in the same seats for DMB in '04.

I'm thinking anywhere from Sec 8-Sec 6 would work, but I'm not sure. I've always had field seats at Hershey.

[JAC4565]

I for one am pretty pissed about GA in the front. I am a first yr member of the WH and have always gotten 3rd row center stage. They say WH members will allowed in a half hour early, to what stand in front of the stage, not be able to move because I will loose my spot. The opening band starts at 7 and DMB comes on around 9 til 11, so I will have to stand in one spot from 5:30 til 11. I don't know if it was hershey's idea not to put up seats or DMB's idea but it sucks for those of us who have paid our WH fees all these years for tickets I could have gotten through ticketmaster. I guess after this show I won't be a WH member, there are no benifits to me anymore since Hershey is usually the only show I go to. I'm thinking I will look around the grandstand for decent seats and see if someone will want to trade once I get there, or else just hang in the back of the crowd and try to enjoy the music.

i always park close to the giant center bridge. its a long walk but there are 2 seperate entrances that take you right to the light on hersheypark drive. last year i was home before my neighbors even got out of the parking lot

Its not that packed until DMB gets on stage. Before that youre fine to go to the bathroom/ get drinks etc.

Everyone thinks GA is a bad idea. But once youre actually there so close to the band its really awesome. And Dave really seems to dig it :thumbsup

1st year member and got 3rd row center? Your full of crap.

Careful with signs.

At Huntington (only other GA show so far) they didnt let signs in, making people throw them away before they entered. Some people had them, but they were smaller and could fit into your pocket folded up.

Thats what I'm doing to be safe.

depending on where you park in the lot, it can take a while to get back onto the road. last year we got right up by the stadium and were on the road in about 15 minutes. once you're on the road it usually runs pretty smoothly.

[DMBzilla]

I've found that if you can get a spot anywhere in the area I've outlined in red (which you can get to if you just keep heading toward the stadium through the lot, regardless of where the idiots try to direct you), you can take the yellow path -- behind the stage and to the left -- and get out pretty quick (i.e. less than 15 minutes). Did it for Phish and it worked like a charm.

That being said, you still have to book it to the car. :lol

First time to Hershey. A few questions about camping at the Hershey campground.

1) all we could get was overflow...how is it? Is it as nuts as Lee's in SPAC?

2) how early should I get there and claim a spot?

3) is there a best place to park at the venue that allows the best shot out?

4) how hard is to get back to the campground after the show? Any advice?

Gonna be a scorcher....hopefully both the weather and the show!

[dre2142]

Yeah really. How do you "normally" have 3rd row when its your FIRST year in the WH. :lol

Out of the 13 shows I've been to, last year at Hershey was the longest I've ever waited to get out of the damned parking lot and back onto an actual road... and I'm a Darien Lake veteran :eek

We always park across the street in front of Milton Hershey. its all grass lots, and you can duck out quick to Route 39 and then home.

you are on crack.

First one had a Dancing Nancies and a STJL. Second one had LIOG, Grey Street, and Baby Blue. Last one featured Gregg Allman on Melissa, BB, Nancies, Grey Street, and Rapunzel.

There wasnt one interesting/rare/unique song in the entire setlist. #41 and Seek Up were the only things I could call a highlight. We got Everyday, Bayou, Spacebread, a shitty encore (You and Me, Watchtower), and eight total BW songs. It got 3.5 stars in Tour Central. It wasn't very good, man, I dunno. Other than 2005, last year was the only time Id been disappointed with a DMB show.

1st year member and got 3rd row center? Your full of crap.
This third year member got row 46 last year.

Maybe I wrote that wrong, I meant I've been a member of the WH since the first year, actually the first few days, so yes I've pretty much had the same seats at hershey every year. Always 3rd row, center stage, right in front of Dave, so you can understand why I'm so upset about them having GA at this show. My tickets are a little confusing tho, they say GAF1, Row 001, Seats 31 and 32....If it's really GA why would they say row 1 and have seats assigned? Guess I will find out when I get there. Enjoy the show!

As a lawn veteran, GA tickets always have a row and seat assigned to them, it's how they keep track of how many they have sold. It's still just all GA.

really? so you're not trying to get in early? what time do you think you're getting there? im planning to get to the campsite friday around 2, then setting up and heading over after an hour or so...

[dre2142]

Ive been to a bunch of shows there that have General Admission floor...its really not going to be that big of a deal. Even standing in the back of the pack will give you a good view of the stage and youll be pretty damn close

[coasterboy69]

[jgibb]

So excited!!

[DMBzilla]

DMB is due for another great show at Hershey. Last year was pretty bad (I didn't go and had no qualms missing it), and with some of the debuts at Alpine, as well as Blue Water again and LIOG at CMAC, this could be a very nice setlist this time around.

[pugowner]

If anybody is in the area early, come check out Bad Boys Toys. Best selection of pipes and herbal incense in the area. www.facebook.com/badboystoys.
My friend owns the place and he has great stuff.:leroi

[philokalia]

I too am rather pumped for the show. I bought the cheapest tickets again this year. Last year I ended up right at the front of GA. Im getting there hopefully around two or threeish.

does anyone think there will be a huge line consisting of regular general admission people?

this is only my second show ever.
i was lucky to get seek up last year.

[philokalia]

lol. i tweeted him and asked for Still water => blue water.
lets see if THAT happens.
haha

[mfine]

Went to lunch downtown and saw the tour buses. No one there except crew members

[dmbfan524]

Now if we can only get a full band blue water at Hershey. LIOG would be nice too.

Also, 93.5 WTPA, harrisburg radio station, is giving away tickets tomorrow morning during their morning show. I'm pretty sure you can listen online. For what its worth to those still looking for tickets.
