[DmBand801]

can we have a rain-free day this time so I can enjoy the park prior to the show?

[dh4645]

probably only going to this one.

usually go to both nights at starlake and then hershey a month later.

now it's hershey friday and pnc saturday. WTF?

i'll still be hungover saturday morning...no way in hell am i leaving early and driving 3-4 hrs to tailgate at pnc

[DMBROX24]

Tickets go on sale so early this year. :thumbsdow

[dh4645]

Tickets go on sale so early this year. :thumbsdow

yeah i see

whos this zac brown band?

[cotton#36]

NO way im going to this show this year.

[Lch5027]

I second this comment.

Also, I feel like every year we talk on here about how shitty the GA area is behind the reserved field. Now we're going to be talking about how shitty the front GA area is going to be this year. I can see it now..riots an hour before the show because so many people are jockeying for position front and center :BANG

[Sleepr56]

I may make my Hersehy return this year, after 4 years :lol

[DMBzilla]

I will be nowhere near Hershey, Pennsylvania on July 9, because as much as the venue already sucks it's going to suck that much more with a full GA field. What a joke.

[Jadorsey34]

I will be there as always, GA or not. I cant miss hershey. This will be my 10th dmb show at hershey. Its tradition:thumbsup

[Jeff31b]

Hellllllllllooooo.....:multi:bounce:multi

[dswinograd23]

i agree with you 100% a full ga field really sucks. this one little change completly changes my opinion on the entire venue!

[zep_1]

Ok, so lemme get this straight... the whole field is GA right?!

Who's dumb idea was this GA thing, why have people been members of the warehouse for so long to get this crap, give me a break, This turns everything that I loved about Dave ticketing into everything I hate about all other ticketing, I don't want to fight all night just to see a good show from good seats. I would go to Burgettstown but I don't even see that on the list this year, was so looking forward to seeing the Zac Brown band too...

How is the Scranton venue, I've never been there... might be this year though.

[whiteysax]

yeah i see

whos this zac brown band?
Zac Brown Band sings that country/rock song "Chicken Fried"... they also do a kick ass cover of "Devil Went Down To Georgia". They're a southern rock/country group. Our fiddle player has played with them before... I'm sorry I'm gonna miss that group!

[whiteysax]

Unless we have some strange scheduling fluke, looks like this will be 2 years in a row I miss Hershey :(

[dh4645]

oh yeah, i dont care for that

i used to listen to country 15 yrs ago in high school.

[dh4645]

...WTF is the deal with everything being GA? bunch of shit

[wedge914]

I think I will skip Hershey this year since PNC Park is the day after. Don't really care to drive halfway across the state and back, not this year anyway.

[dh4645]

I think I will skip Hershey this year since PNC Park is the day after. Don't really care to drive halfway across the state and back, not this year anyway.

we still might do both.

[nathan.davidson]

I think I might do the grandstands this year, i don't really want to deal with the GA section.

[RiotAct]

Alright, ALRIGHT, I guess I'll go again this year.

[whiteysax]

I think I might do the grandstands this year, i don't really want to deal with the GA section.
why would you have ever dealt with GA in the past? Grandstands is where it's at

[mfine]

why would you have ever dealt with GA in the past? Grandstands is where it's at

im a fan of the grandstands as long as its the first 2 sections. other than that i would rather give GA a try. i gotta get 4 tickets so i might get 2 tickets in each and then go from there

[karmaboi79]

my first PA show...wish it was at PNC but Hershey will do...

[RiotAct]

can we have a rain-free day this time so I can enjoy the park prior to the show?

No. Unacceptable.

[DMBzilla]

I hope this show sells terribly based on the entire floor being GA.

[spoot388]

i MIGHT do hershey. whats it like sitting in the stands? can you see the entire stage well or is parts of it blocked by various stuff? would it be best to get the very first section or the 2nd or 3rd where the angle is less but you're farther away?

[whiteysax]

no obstructed view but you are at an angle... looking at a 45 degree angle... but you're elevated above the field and have room to yourself. you'd only be obstructed if you're ALL the way next to the stage (first section, end of the row)... but i've been to hershey 7 times and prefer the grandstands... reserved field wasn't bad either

what would be the best section to get for the stands?

seems like the first sections are kinda meh, but like section 7 would be alright. would you say thats the equivalent to like being off to the sides of the 200s at a pavilion? i've done reserve field twice and was fine (im also tall). but i hate the idea of GA. so if i go, i'd definitely be getting stands.


EDIT - what section would give me a view like this video? i'd be content with that again.

the angle in that video would be comparable to section 8 at hershey... here's an idea of what you're looking at... this is a picture i got from the front row of section 25 (same as 8 but other side of the stage)

[dmb131]

No way I am going back here! haha...this venue sucks!

[dh4645]

why is GA $75?
that is crazy?
that's more than i paid for actual seat in previous years.

[dre2142]

crazy prices. ill be there

[Beebz]

Hersheypark Stadium, Hershey PA July 9

Dont get arrested this year.

[Beebz]

Also, with the entire field being GA--the front will be closer, more expensive GA, but still GA--anyone who wants the best seats should consider grandstand. Sections 7 and 26 are probably your best bet. You avoid the extreme angles but can still get close.

[karmaboi79]

Does this show usually sell out quick?

[Beebz]

Does this show usually sell out quick?

The good seats do, yeah.

Not sure why theyre doing it that way this year. Really sucks. I hate the side....audio is horrible in the grandstands. No matter where you are.

Maybe Ill be skipping this show this year

[mfine]

what are the prices of the tickets? im seeing 75 for GA but thats it

[smokew11]

i didnt realize it was GA front field too, that blows...i dont want to skip it but i may just do grandstands this time...damn, i had such great seats last yr too

[smokew11]

btw, are GA sections going to be roped off for WH'ers prior to the show, a la lawn?

[dh4645]

what are the prices of the tickets? im seeing 75 for GA but thats it

i think $75 for front GA (where A- D seats were before) and then $$ less for the rear GA (probably where the section started before)...not sure how much

and probably $75 for the grandstand seats along the side.

bunch of BS if u ask me.

if u r thinking the front GA is just where a-d were and then the next ga were it usually is what is going to be in between those two?

[dh4645]

idk, i dont work at hershey

maybe the back ga will be closer.

[nathan.davidson]

Dont get arrested this year.

hey now, i wasn't the one getting arrested. I used my smarts and ran :haha

[whiteysax]

Not sure why theyre doing it that way this year. Really sucks. I hate the side....audio is horrible in the grandstands. No matter where you are.

i never had a problem with the audio in the grandstands... only in the GA field

[Jeff31b]

i never had a problem with the audio in the grandstands... only in the GA field

Whitey! What shows are you doing?

[Andrew101]

Ughh. If the line to get in is going to start so early, the Tailgate is going to blow :(

[Beebz]

Not sure why theyre doing it that way this year. Really sucks. I hate the side....audio is horrible in the grandstands. No matter where you are.

Yeah, its the only one I attend each year, so I doubt Ill skip it. I was in 7 last year, AA, and it was fine. I could make out every mediocre song in the setlist last year with crystal clarity. :lol

hey now, i wasn't the one getting arrested. I used my smarts and ran :haha

Just messing with ya.

[DancingGreppies]

At last years show Dave said ' were going to slow it down and then fizzle out' yeah the whole show fizzled out compared to '08. Now, if your upfront in GA and have to piss you will never get back to your original place. At a cost of $75.00. One more thing, Dave will be at Alpine putting on two great shows ( he loves it there) and then Hershey. I have a feeling this show will fizzle out too.

[DMBROX24]

Now their is absolutely no point to go to Giant Center Box Office feb 12th nd stand in line like I have done previous years. This was probably the dumbest decision ever made. Good thing my rents are moving to Virginia, can any1 tell me if the Virginia Beach show is worth going to??

[smokew11]

va beach is a nice venue, and the last 2 years have featured great shows...plus its 15 mins from the beach and theres a ton of motels/hotels within 5 mins of the venue

[hmich176]

can we have a rain-free day this time so I can enjoy the park prior to the show?

Rain-free or not, I'll be sure that you don't enjoy the park, as I will be working there. I'll figure out who you are and...do you ride roller coasters? If so, I'll be sure to e-stop one of the ones you are riding. :)

[nathan.davidson]

Just messing with ya.

It's cool, are you coming back this year?

[DMBROX24]

va beach is a nice venue, and the last 2 years have featured great shows...plus its 15 mins from the beach and theres a ton of motels/hotels within 5 mins of the venue

Thanx, its about a 3 hour drive from wher wer moving to. We've done Hershey 2 years in a row now since we live ther, nd with this GA change it probably won't be worth it.

[hmich176]

In any case, I'll be at Hershey, probably working in the park before hand, and then at the concert! I was hoping to go to PNC the next day, but I've opted to go on a cruise in October/November instead. So the only way I'm going to PNC is if I some how come up with some additional money.

[DmBand801]

Rain-free or not, I'll be sure that you don't enjoy the park, as I will be working there. I'll figure out who you are and...do you ride roller coasters? If so, I'll be sure to e-stop one of the ones you are riding. :)

Can't be any worse than last year. I paid $35 for a ticket and didn't ride a single roller coaster because storms were within 30 miles. Weak.

[spoot388]

the angle in that video would be comparable to section 8 at hershey... here's an idea of what you're looking at... this is a picture i got from the front row of section 25 (same as 8 but other side of the stage)

thanks. that does seem very similar. i think i may try for section 7 though, just so its not as harsh of an angle. it would make for a better dvd. :evil i'm thinking i don't want to be in the very first row through, just so no one can directly see the camera.

question about the rows though. do they start at A and have AA, BB, etc at the top or is AA actually row 1 at the bottom? i think it remember hearing AA-EE are the first 5 rows and then A after that, but i just want to make sure.

[hmich176]

Oh, it could be worse. Such as, being on a coaster lift when it starts raining and then the ride breaks down. If you're on a ride like the Great Bear, then you've got track lubricant dripping on you when you're 90 feet above the ground in a thunderstorm.

It sucks even more when I've had to walk up the lift and hang out until maintenance could get the ride running. Sure, I get a ride with a roof, but I'm stuck in the rain anyway.

Spoot, I didn't forget about you for this year, i had 2 tix saved for you.
but unfortunatley I don't have to stand in line at the Giant Center this year. Sorry man.

[dmbgrl22]

Hello Hershey!! Excited to see another show at the venue..hope it does not downpour like it did last year!!!

[dwerlin]

I'll be requesting Hershey tix this year, though I'm staying away from GA...seems like way too much potential for a huge mess, especially due to the size of it at Hershey. Hopefully I can get some decent reserved seats :)

[RiotAct]

Haha, excellent, looks like the chances of scoring GA tickets is pretty good for this venue considering the number of people who are turned off by it, as well as its sheer size.

[dwerlin]

Oh, I certainly don't doubt it, and more power to those that want to deal with GA...though I also don't doubt the chances of having a good time in the GA section will be diminished :) (or at least it would be for me...maybe I'm getting too old).

[arizonalovesyou]

Count me in!!!

[karmaboi79]

what hotels are in the area? Anything cheap?

[Beebz]

It's cool, are you coming back this year?

Im planning on it, although with the weak show last year coupled with this awful GA, its not a lock. I dont like that you essentially have to stand there the entire time or risk losing your spot. No beer, no piss, nothing. That's just a horrific decision.

I had grandstand last year (for free!) in Section 7 row AA, so Im going to shoot for that this year if I go. Ironically enough, Im thinking the good grandstand seats are going to sell out faster than the $75 GA.

[Jeff31b]

Can't believe this will be my first visit to Hershey...

[Lch5027]

Ugh fuck this GA stuff. I'm really on the fence as to whether I want to request grandstand seats or buy the GA's:shrug

[nathan.davidson]

I'm feeling grandstand this year. I've done the GA and I've done the seats, so it's a pretty easy decision. but if it looks like the GA section isn't selling (and based on my Europe GA experience) I might do that

[whiteysax]

what hotels are in the area? Anything cheap?plenty... my first recommendation would be the Econo Lodge in Grantville... 10 min trip down the road to the venue

[hoggdogg]

Ugh fuck this GA stuff. I'm really on the fence as to whether I want to request grandstand seats or buy the GA's:shrug

the grandstands are not bad at all...

[ThememanXX]

Yep, I'll be skipping Hershey for the first time since 2000. GA field is an absolutely terrible decision. Good luck with that, guys. I'll stick to Scranton and Pittsburgh, thank you very much.

[dh4645]

arent all of them GA?

[RiotAct]

yeah the GA field is going to be one huge mass of humanity... sections A, B, and C were quite substantial in size, and now they're going to be able to cram even more people in the space where those sections were for some extra $$$.

[smokew11]

casual fans wont pay $95(after fees) for ANY concert ticket...it seems that most of us (at least right now) are saying we wont spend that for GA seating...its gonna be an interesting veiw of an open field in front of the stage from the grand stands ha

[dwerlin]

Just put in my request for Grandstand Reserved seats, good luck to all of you going for GA :)

[guitarplayer102]

i put in a request for best available, but after reading what you guys said about the GA being bad i might just change it to grandstands

[ThememanXX]

i put in a request for best available, but after reading what you guys said about the GA being bad i might just change it to grandstands

Just think about having to line up around 1pm to get a good spot. Then think about not being able to leave that spot for a drink or bathroom break for 6 hours. :shrug

[41 Step]

I'm planning on doing this one. It'll be incredibly surreal going back to the last place I saw Roi though.

[guitarplayer102]

I'm planning on doing this one. It'll be incredibly surreal going back to the last place I saw Roi though.

i never got to see roi play live, my first show was september of 08, we're going to the same dmb shows haha nice

[kcentrury]

the only reason hershey used to be worthwile was bc of the relatively easy access to good seats. with the giant center box office you could score amazing seats. now hershey is off my radar entirely.

[P. Rapunzel]

Yep, I'll be skipping Hershey for the first time since 2000. GA field is an absolutely terrible decision. Good luck with that, guys. I'll stick to Scranton and Pittsburgh, thank you very much.

Yup. Me too. Last year was my 10th anniversary of going to Hershey, and I guess it was my last. I have come to love Hershey because in the past few years I always could count on kick-ass seats in the first 20 rows of the field. I've been in the grandstand twice, and it's not near as good as what I have gotten used to. I guess I've gotten spoiled. Oh, well. Now I'll just stick with Camden. It's closer anyway.

[charlotte2123]

Can someone clear a few things up for me.. I understand that the entire field is GA, does that mean first come first serve? Also, there is a GA (back) and GA (front)..
im asuming (back) is the same as every year, So is front like 1 huge section that covers the old sections A, B, C, D, and E?

[mfine]

Just think about having to line up around 1pm to get a good spot. Then think about not being able to leave that spot for a drink or bathroom break for 6 hours. :shrug

i think that the line will start earlier than 1. i still havent decided to go with ga or grandstand but if i do go with ga i will be in line starting when the hersheypark lots open which is at 10ish i believe.

[whiteysax]

GA = first come first serve, as always. I'm not sure how they'll set up the GA Pit there... would make sense to be at least the front half of B (the equivalent of the orchestra section at a normal amphitheatre) if not A-C

[spoot388]

the entire field is GA, split into front and back. A-E are all GA. theres no actual GA pit, its just the entire field.

[whiteysax]

the entire field is GA, split into front and back. A-E are all GA. theres no actual GA pit, its just the entire field.
so there will be no reserved seating at all?! No wonder so many people are pissed

[charlotte2123]

Whos even going to request this show?, ..requesting hershey now means that if you want a half decent spot, your gona have to stand in a huge line for at the very least 6 hours or so, in whatever weather is present, for a show at the worst venue of the tour.

[Beebz]

When do tix go on sale for this thing?

[spoot388]

so there will be no reserved seating at all?! No wonder so many people are pissed

the only reserve seating is going to be the grandstands. the entire floor is GA split into 2 price levels.

[whiteysax]

the only reserve seating is going to be the grandstands. the entire floor is GA split into 2 price levels.
i still hate missing this show again... but this makes it a little more bearable

[redbird44]

Everyone has to bitch about somethin on here man. Hershey isn't the best venue for sound and shit like that but c'mon it's a great time especially if your campin out too. As for general admission in the front of the stage that kicks ass in my opinion. You don't have to spend a thousand dollars for front row seats anymore, so what if you only see a song or two from the front. Dave said himself concerts are so much better in Europe because he see's people into it and dancin and shit, this is going to make concerts so much more energetic.

dude i completely agree with you, i'd rather have a GA pit where people can move around and dance and have fun, i don't care if i'm at the front or back, whatever haha

[redbird44]

Thanks guys I have been following this site for years had an account but forgot what it was, I was never big on writing in forums until recently. Anyway I have been to 17 shows, so it isn't like it is a newcomer opinion I think it is an awesome thing with the GA the way it's going to be. I saw them 6 rows back in camden two years ago and that was a highlight in my life man it's the best. Anyway if you haven't seen it heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fyt6Mh5En4 he talks about the crowds over there compared to here and how people in the states are probably havin fun in the lawn but he can't see that, hence why they are doing this.

yeah definitely, i was on the lawn at camden n1 last year and it was an amazing show but it was too far back, i'm happy there's an opportunity to be a lot closer to the stage for only a bit more money

The reserved seating was less $ compared to the new pricing of GA pit...

[nathan.davidson]

I'm 50/50 on this GA field deal. half of me thinks that it will be sweet because there will be fewer people (since so many are going to the grandstand) so it will be a great time, but the other half doesn't want to deal with all of the roudy, pushy fans. We'll see how it looks. if the GA front is sold out, then I'm definitely sticking with the grandstands, but if it's not... i may venture down to the front

[Andrew101]

I don't want to ruin the tailgate having to fight to get a better spot in the GA, ill prob just stick to the grandstands :-)

[Beebz]

Gonna try again--does anyone know when tickets go on sale?

[S2000 GUY]

Yup. Me too. Last year was my 10th anniversary of going to Hershey, and I guess it was my last. I have come to love Hershey because in the past few years I always could count on kick-ass seats in the first 20 rows of the field. I've been in the grandstand twice, and it's not near as good as what I have gotten used to. I guess I've gotten spoiled. Oh, well. Now I'll just stick with Camden. It's closer anyway.

don't have time to read through all of these but this sums it up, thanks for being so greedy DMB and squeezing as many people into the front area of the stage and forgetting about the WHers that supported you for years. hope nobody gets killed and the injuries are minor.

[DMBROX24]

Gonna try again--does anyone know when tickets go on sale?


Feb. 26th

[S2000 GUY]

Anyway if you haven't seen it heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fyt6Mh5En4 he talks about the crowds over there compared to here and how people in the states are probably havin fun in the lawn but he can't see that, hence why they are doing this.


Kind of a "reach" dude...

[redbird44]

How is that a reach? In that interview he says it himself, that the crowds are crazy in portugul and that was his favorite concert, then talks about how people are probably having a great time in the lawn in the states but up front not much is goin on?

[S2000 GUY]

he says it was the best crowd but not because it was GA and i heard nothing of the people on the lawn that he can't see...

Chick is hot though.

[redbird44]

you're right I am annoyed yet I watched it like 5 times and I showed the wrong interview. I know everyone is spectical but I deff heard him say that before, the same night I guess I saw this interview but I heard him say someting about the crowd up front and I will find it for everyone I appologize I sent a link to the wrong clip though... i'll prove my point eventually.

[S2000 GUY]

sorry dude... you can only be wrong here once, you will be removed from Ants now. :twak :)

[hmich176]

I've heard Dave say something about not seeing too many people move around in the front while he figured there was a big party going on in the lawn. It wouldn't surprise me if the band wanted to move the GA up to the front to see what they can of the fun.

[redbird44]

Alright well I guess I saved my ass.. specially after the 1:20 mark. Told you I heard it somewhere just had the wrong Optimus Alive interview.

Hershey you fucking suck. this year will be the worst year at hershey ever. i've payed my way through warehouse memberships and this is how i'm repaid.

It definitely won't be the worst year ever. Not close. 2005 will ALWAYS be the worst Hershey concert ever, and worst DMB show of all time.

i'm debating whether to select best available or reserved grandstands on the warehouse, do you think it'll be easier to get GA pit or grandstands?

theres no pit. its just GA floor. if thats what you want, you'll get it. but thats dealing with 10,000+ people for the front row.

[mfine]

quick question. i just joined warehouse and requested reserved grandstand. just curious what long time warehouse members think are my realistic chances of getting seats and how will they be?

if you're lined up at the gate to get in you're still going to hear it though. that is, if they soundcheck that day.

[whiteysax]

Whitey! What shows are you doing?
delayed response!!!
I've been riding the "what shows do i go to" rollercoaster this month. Financially I should take a summer off... but that won't happen.
Originally I was going to do Atlanta, Riverbend, Charlotte, Scranton, Camden x2, and maybe Utah.
After realizing I can't keep forking out cash for trips like that I settled on the 2 closest - Atlanta and Riverbend.
Then our lead singer planned our schedule so that we'd have 4th of July weekend off cause he's never been to Alpine and is planning on taking our band RV up there for a weekend party and wants me to go along. So I decided to cut all my shows and just go to Alpine.
Then he told me he's gonna make it a week long DMB pilgrimage and do that Camden x2 then road trip it to Alpine for the weekend. So I'm thinking of adding Camden again.
Then he tells me he has an inside source friend with the Atlanta show and we might be able to score some sort of special passes... so now I wanna add that show again...
then at our show in Louisville last weekend I met someone who has a good friend that works at Riverbend and always scores her and her friends great seats... so I want to add that again.
I may just say "screw it" and figure you only live once... despite owing roughly $3000 in taxes this year, I'm trying to make this work:
Riverbend, Atlanta, Camden x2, Alpine x2
I'm a fool.
Where you gonna be?!

[nathan.davidson]

well Whitey (we jammed at Scranton last year, if you remember), I'll be at Camden and Alpine and Hershey (among many others). so join in the fun!

Anybody know if there are any restrictions on RVs at Hershey? I've been there the last 2 years and haven't noticed anything but how bad the parking situation and restroom facilities are there. Their website is pretty vague. Thanks.

[nathan.davidson]

They will probably have an RV parking area. because the parking lot is the same one that is used for Hersheypark, they will be prepared for that. but it would be worth calling the box office to ask about it.

RVs are directed up to the area right near the stadium actually...along with all of the tour (not the band, but people actually going to the park) buses, school busses, and other RVs. so you will be tailgating by yourself (next to all the old folks that bring their RVs) if thats your plan, lol

[DMBNate23]

Front GA here we come!! We got those and seats the next night at PNC park.

[Beebz]

Got up front GA but Im not sure how happy I am about that. No other choice since there are a bunch of us going, but damn did they fuck Hershey over with that seating change.

[Jadorsey34]

I just kept trying tixs on the site, if i diddnt want it, i would release the tickets until something good came up. It eventually came up sec 27 row AA-which i clarified with the box office is first row.

[rikeman]

I had to wait until today to get my tickets. Went to the arena box office thinking I would do better then buying them on line. She told me the best she could give me was section 8 or 25. I went with 8 to avoid the setting sun in my face. Anyone know what the view is like from section 8?

they should be good seats as long as you are not too far to the edge. i have sat in section 25 before and had a nice view of the stage

Ive been to concerts where its this type of setup...it totally sucks. (Bunch of them at Hershey too) ya cant move anywhere, people are all up on ya, etc.

Hopefully they kept the size of the area in mind when deciding how many tickets to issue down front....but doubtful.

A metric shitton... the GA Front is where all of sections A, B, C, D, and E used to be.

[cotton#36]

i think you only get in early for the ballpark shows but i could be wrong. if you can get in early i would say right after soundcheck which could be any time depending on the usual rain we get :shrug

AHAHA yea the rain is always intense!!! but on the warehouse site it said

For arenas with a GA Floor or stadiums with a GA Field, we are going to offer early entrance to Warehouse members pending no delays with the band’s sound check on the show day. Warehouse members with confirmed tickets for GA Floor/Field will receive an email with instructions and details closer to the show date. Please refer to the Warehouse Ticketing Guidelines and Ticketing FAQs in the Ticketing section. Please direct any questions to whtix@davematthewsband.com.

I think Hershey qualifies as a GA Floor but it says Warehouse will let us know the details so I hope we can get in earlier.. I see it happening

[dre2142]

i dont see it happening at all..dont get ur hopes up. seems like it would be a logistical and personnel nightmare to do this

WHAT? 42 inches next weekend? how large of an area? where did you see that
Channel 27 news did a quick segment on this old guy from the Reading area that supposedly predicted the first two big storms. He is now predicting a 42 inch storm on March 7. Not a weatherman. A guy with a hobby for following the weather. They also said he is of native Indian decent.

there's like 10,000 front GA tickets, another 10,000 "lawn" GA tickets, plus the stands. why would you think it would sell out in 2 days? thats A LOT of tickets.



Harrisburg has never gotten more than 30 inches of snow before. I don't really see getting 42 inches.

i think the 42 inches is total for the winter. last week i heard we have about 32 or something like that, but usually get another 6-8 in march which would bring us close to the average snowfall for a winter, which is 42 inches. its not getting 3-4 feet of snow in one storm.

hell, a few years ago bufallo got like 7 FEET in a week. but considering we're like 10 inches from the average snowfall, which itself is 42 inches, i'd be willing to bet thats what the prediction was. not 42 more inches of snow, but 42 total.

[jas230314]

the 42 inch snow storm on march 7 is just from the farmers almanac.

thats it, no genius predicting shit. Its just something Ben franklin made up 200 years ago

[dayswonder]

"Some people have been talking about a storm that Lester G. Moyer of Exeter Township, Berks County, has predicted for March 7.

The 65-year-old uses the phases of the moon and other calculations to produce the weather predictions for his almanac, Moyer's Almanac. He learned his hobby while growing up on a farm."

Its not even the Ben Franklin version, just some dude in berks county pa

Total seating capacity for concerts is 30k.

Seating capacity for football/soccer setup is 16k. That leaves 14k on the floor, not 20k.

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

But he was asking everyone except dre2142, so I guess my answer isnt needed.

5th hershey show for me! good thing im in college right now and dont need to find a job at the moment ;). this snow does need to go for golf. everytime i past the course or see golf on tv i get more antsy

[JTR&PIG]

got my tickets will see you all at hershey this year!

[Beebz]

ill probaby near all of you with this new GA thing. i just pulled 10 GA front section seats, amazing how that hasnt sold out yet.

because no one wants to pay 80 bucks to stand and get pushed for four hours.

[JTR&PIG]

so I had a question was it confirmed that warehouse members will get in earlier than everyone else before the show?

[dayswonder]

apparently at baseball stadiums and Hershey are the only places where warehouse members are going to be allowed in first

what time..i have no idea

i guess that will put a little damper on tailgating, it would also be hard to get a beer inside when you have to stand there and hold your spot

Ah...so you were asking everyone in this thread EXCEPT me?

Thanks for the clarification. Idiot.

I wasn't asking you how you take the manner of my comments, I was asking a question about the seating. You took it in a new direction.

Good try though. Idiot:thumbsup

Good try? Youre the idiot for posting a snide, sarcastic remark to someone that replied to you and has a good enough guess as anyone.

I completely understand that seeing as I have sat in Sec. A the past 2 years...Numerical answer would have sufficed.

Dick response, plain and simple and I called you out on it. Cry about it.

Take my comments how you want, nobody was asking you to critique what comments "seemingly come off as". If you think you're right, so be it. I dnt accept that, you're getting nowhere. Starting a bitch fit on Ants is not my intention, yet, here you are....Sounds like someones crying about my comments. Hypocrite:thumbsup

[dayswonder]

i think we need another thread entitled "hurt feelings, who cares"

anyone have anything fun to say about hershey?

[karmaboi79]

Just found out our seats(TM) section 26 row W? I've never been to Hershey, so im not sure, but the section looks decent, not too thrilled about row W....any insight from the veterans?

[dayswonder]

im in section 26 im row O

the sections start with double letters at the bottom then move to single letters towards the top
i believe there are only 30 rows per section

ive sat in the stands before, even a one or two sections back and it wasnt to bad

considering the circumstances for this year, im very happy

their all turf field should do well to limit the amount of mud :thumbsup

plenty of ways to avoid it.

Turnpike to harrisburg east, then 283 to the middletown/hummelstown exit, and that will take ya right to hersheypark drive

or keep going on 283 and come in on the backside of hershey

[dre2142]

I dont remember there being any grass anywhere...Im pretty sure the entire front half is covered for events like this. there is no mud to deal with.

well im not drinking because I have to work in pittsburgh at 9 am the next morning plus I have to drive back. So chilling isn't the thing. I want to get there eat a sandwich drink 1 beer and then go in. I assume we will have to watch the stupid opening band first

[JTR&PIG]
