oh ok, goodie :D

everything? even the stuff FYE did this summer? or does CC own FYE?

[barefoot]

cc is the:evil

[unccrombie]

yeah, but they're giving me free tickets so i'm not going to bite the hand that feeds me

[brockboi]

well as announced, i'm a little surprised that no DMB songs are going to be covered. when i thought about what these concerts had in store i thought there would be a lot of some devil stuff, some odd ball covers and some DMB songs played by Dave and Tim (maybe while some of the other "friends" took a bit of a break). i'm still going to go to the show, but i would have liked to hear some DMB stuff at the show as well. little upset about that.

[unccrombie]

you will hear dmb, just not dm"b" i wouldn't want to hear that anyways

[brockboi]

i don't quite understand what you're saying? you saying we'll here some DMB songs, just without the whole band??? I thought that's what he said he wasn't going to do? are you talking D&T style DMB songs???

[unccrombie]

yeah i am talking about d&t, its still dmb music either way. would you really want to hear that band play dmb songs? i'll pass and stick to the local cover bands

[brockboi]

i WOULD NOT want to see Dave and Friends play DMB songs as a band. not at all, that just wouldn't be right. i would like to see D&T do some DMB covers, just like on the D&T tour. i don't even know if they are going to do that on this tour according to what DM said in an interview.

[unccrombie]

2 months and counting

[The Sean]

w00t!!!

[unccrombie]

:lol l33t

[unccrombie]

did everyone here straight up die?

[The Sean]

apparently so...

[unccrombie]

yeah really, we need some life in here

[ajfulls11]

I should be there...coming from Watertown....last year at BC was an all around good show....I really like the venue too!!! Should be better this year...being a Saturday and I don't have to make the 4 hour trek back home and work the next day!...I'm the boss so it doesn't really matter anyway..but still....

[The Sean]

woo temp charges

[unccrombie]

all TM for me *crosses fingers* hope you do well

[The Sean]

gonna do that too

Nope, still around -- just waiting for the confirmations to start. Then I guarantee it'll get crazier.

[The Sean]

and then we can all get pissy about how the WH isnt telling us our seat locations

LOL -- as long as I can get em, I'll be happy.

When are they supposed to tell us? The 29th or something? I forget when the lottery ended.

[The Sean]

ordering period stopped on the 20th

[unccrombie]

we should get confirmations from the 29th-31st, that's if all goes well, but let's face it, you can never really trust the WH

[shep@nancies]

Yeah, that's something we've tried to tell the countless folks who've emailed us with WH complaints. We're using my gf's account to get tickets through them, but should it fail, we'll just opt for folks who've got extras, or TM.

I'll be there .. Me and bud are making the drive from east of Tdot. We are actually directly across the pond from Roch. Maybe we should swim over. Might be faster :p :lol

[kasquith]

Yeah - even if Warehouse confirms me, I'll still be playing the Ticketmaster game Saturday morning.

However, it would take a really good Ticketmaster set for me to buy. It's not a huge arena - keep that in mind before you get too greedy. I think last year I had just about the worst seats Warehouse gave out, and they were fine. Unless I can pull something in the first half of the floor or immediate side-stage sections from Ticketmaster, I'll leave them. No matter what Warehouse gives, they won't be too bad.

[unccrombie]

it's official everyone, i have tickets for 12.20 through sources at clear channel, no word on how good they are, but i was told to expect something big. ahhhh worry free for MSG on saturday :D :D

[shep@nancies]

Friend of mine on nancies got charged for the tickets she ordered -- let the games begin!

[ajfulls11]

ACTUAL charges on my CC!!!...

edit: To clarify... I am not sure if you can get into those places being 19 unless you have a good fake. They do not have under 21

There is a bar called Tiki Bobs that I think is 18+ but maybe not...all I know there are always VERY young people there.

Best thing about that place...there are always chicks dancing on the bar. The other week there was a chick with this little skirt on, and a thong :eek: :D

I liked it.

Mike

Tiki Bobs is only 18+ on Thursdays. If your friends are chicks, you might be able to get them in with a fake. If they're dudes, forget about it.

Not going to celebrate though until I get the official confirmation

Tonic & Karma will turn away people based on what they are wearing too. The bouncer at Tonic wasn't going to let me in one night over the summer b/c I had sandals on, had jeans on but he apparently had a problem w/ it - of course he still let me in. They've done that a few times to people I know "you really should wear blah, but I'll let you in this time."

They do have people spinning sometimes on weekends though so its kinda cool for that. Otherwise the place kinda sucks. Lots of tools frequent that bar thinking they're like cool New Yorkers in an NYC bar. If you want an upscale bar, I'd recommend Pearl, much much nicer, or Lola Bistro on Monroe.

[Gater1848]

Awesome! I got a charge on my Credit Card too.

I'll be making the long drive from Cincinnati!

See you ants on 12/20!

[The Sean]

now for the seat locations.... give them *shakes fist*

and i wanna know where my WH package is

I wouldn't mind sitting here one bit:

And just for those curious...I was in section 222 last year with absolutely no complaints...this arena is a great venue.

Nothing quite like being able to catch a show within 5 miles of your house.

[brockboi]

6 ticket max through ticketmaster. is that normal for US shows b/c in Canada it's usually 4 for anything big.

[unccrombie]

its normally 4 for the floor and 6 for the tiers i believe, and 4 for within the aphitheatre

[barefoot]

watching Dave and sleeping in your own bed:)

[gregory311]

I just hope ticketmaster doesn't screw me.

Never seen Dave Matthews or DMB in Rochester... hope something cool happens.

[shep@nancies]

I'll put it up here again for those who are interested:

RochFest site: http://www.somethingfoodrelated.net/rochfest

Off the main page of it, there's a link to a Yahoo! group if folks are interested in who else is going, and crap like that. I know at least a few of us are shooting to have dinner at the Dino without the rush of going to a show (on Friday night).

[kasquith]

Well - got tickets, got a hotel booked. I must say, it feels good. Now it's just a matter of counting down the days.

[SeekUp125]

Confirmed. I'll still see what I can get through TM Saturday.

[DMBMike36]

[The Sean]

confirmed

[silent]

Confirmed.

[chrrie]

confirmed for this year, sat in 214 last year, awesome awesome awesome. i was worried about the distance, but it was right in the middle, and it's not like sitting on the lawn or somewhere with 5,000 other people obstructing your view.

im glad i don't have to go through tm though, because it's always a mad dash at 10:00am and it's stressful just looking at the statusbar while it moves 1% every 5 minutes.
and, you have a better chance of getting the extra good seats the day of the show, but that's always a risk too...

[unccrombie]

haha, glad you all got confirmed, you all find out locations a week before, right?

[twosteppn36]

last series we didnt even find out the seats until they shipped the tickets

[brockboi]

Twosteppn: you have the best icon ever

[twosteppn36]

lol...thanks....theres one with him dancin too

[barefoot]

myself and three others that I know if confirmed:)

[nringelstetter]

confirmed. i was a little worried b/c i knew i got 3/4 based on my pre-confrimation credit card charges. but like i thought, that 1 was msg. no big deal - that was for a friend. now its just a matter of seats, but that will be by seniority, so my 13,xxx number will come in handy:)

can't wait, gonna be fun. any rochester people going to see john mayer this saturday?

[unccrombie]

you sure it's being done by seniority?

[JRemy511]

confirmed

[nringelstetter]

it was for the summer. they didn't say otherwise like they did for d&t. i'm pretty confident in saying that seating (not tickets in the door) is done by seniority.

Yeah I was there in March also. It could be a misprint. It just says that they're selling it there on Doughty's site.

[unccrombie]

how'd everyone do with ticketmaster?

[brockboi]

horrible, couldn't get any...details to follow. anyone have 2 extra's?

[JRemy511]

haha, read the "Blue cross tix" thread for info on ticketmaster results

[unccrombie]

i may, keep in touch, i'm talking with someone via email right now

[unccrombie]

well im trying to keep all the blue cross talk to the BC thread, but that didnt work

[JRemy511]

that's cool. I just got on after i landed my ticket and was like "hey, a ticket thread...cool" but maybe if we combined the ticket thread with the origional thread we can catch up the the allstate thread ;-)

[brockboi]

so here's the deal. ticketmaster had my wrong credit card info since i've moved recently. so i try and put in the new info and it wouldn't accept my new info. so 10 mins later it finally does. than when i try and search for new tickets you know the stupid f'n thing that says "type in this word to make sure..." and you have a word that is kinda blocked out, but you can make it out and you type it in. well every single f'n time i type in the word it said "word did not match". holy shit i was losin it! so when i did get the word thing to work it was sold out and i didn't get tickets. there is my story so if anyone has 2 extra's let me know please.

[rhuss]

yeah i got screwed ... nothing ... need 2 please

[brockboi]

for anyone who has two extra e-mail me at curtissnider@hotmail.com or you can msn messenger me at the same e-mail addy.

i may have 2 extra, not sure yet

[The Sean]

ive got 4 tickets right now. 2 from TM and 2 from WH. when i find out which set is better, i will sell the lesser of the 2. my TM seats are pretty good so i'll probably end up getting rid of them. but im not doing it yet. but to let you know, there are tickets out there.

[unccrombie]

where are your TM's? i know rhuss was looking for some

yes yes i need a pair please :D

[The Sean]

well im not gonna put them up yet. i'll wait till i see what my WH is

[twostep66]

well, i'll definitely be there...section 111

[unccrombie]

if rhuss doesn't have a pair by then, i may need them for my cousin chris and his daughter, so if you still have them by then, keep me in mind as well

[rhuss]

does anyone know what the first sections are going to be? sect 31, 32, & 33?

i am asking because for mayer supposedly they had sections 21, 22, & 23. and the stage definatly looked smaller.

[unccrombie]

last year it seemed like they had sections 2-3-4-5 and a small 6 & 7, as for last year the floor seemed awful close to the stage, not like the pictures from bluecross' website

[rhuss]

last year i was: Section 31 Row B which was 2nd row. so there was no section 21, 22, & 23.

so it looked exactly like this last year as far as up front goes:
http://www.bluecrossarena.com/endstage_map.htm

[unccrombie]

hmmm, i didnt think there was that much of a gap. my guess is it'd be the same. i think they'd sell more tickets to mayer if the floor was bigger, that could be an explination

[fatty7999]

who got good tix from TM?? whos closer than 207?

[The Sean]

im in 255

[brockboi]

well as you all know i didn't get tickets through TM, but when i first got on i had section 73, but i couldn't get the tickets b/c of the credit card thing. i believe it was 73, i know it was in the 70's b/c i looked at the seating plan and it wasn't on there.

[unccrombie]

73 is back left of the floor, very last section

[dmbnick4]

i was in section 62 last year which was awsome, but this year i got section 72..now does anyone know if im going to have the sound booth in my way, because last year when i turned around there was the sound booth..soo im a little worried

That's werid -- I was told they were being sold there.

If it's all TM outlets, then Lakeshore -- or alternativemusic.com on Park, whichever -- should be selling them. Although parking's a bitch in that area. :)

I was thinking about trying to be there around 200-300 just to eat, drink & talk with some other people. anyone else up for that? these are just my plans so far.

these are my plans...it would be great if some people could join us.

so ... the more and more I think about this - the more I am thinking about going to the Dino - it is close right??? I have never been there - but have heard great things about it. Plus, my lil sis who is 18 will be with me, so I wanna go somewhere where she can go (and possibly booze :))

I was thinking that we all (ants / boards people) should wear something - so that we know who each other are - I was thinking MARDI GRAS beads ... who else is interested ... that way we will b able to say - so u post, and not have people like "HUH"

I am down for the Mardi Gras beads (but ain't showing my boobies in the cold) HAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[The Sean]

so i'm gonna try for instants tomorrow. if i get them then i will have 6 tickets to this show. :D crazy

Dude - it's not that big of an arena! For the effort and money you are going to spend, why not go to another show instead of trying to get a few rows closer for Rochester?

No offense! I've played the same game before, but getting WH, TM and Instants is a bit excessive. Let someone else have tickets.

[The Sean]

in the end im only paying for one ticket. i will sell all the other tickets. and the friend im going with is paying for themself

dude - no crap on the boozing - I was saying my sis is 18 - legal age down in the states is 21 - so I wanna go somewhere where I can pass her booze to drink ... HAHAHAHA

I am soo impressed with all the booby stuff ... so what about the beads??? That will be a way for everyone to recognize everyone like I said.

I too have a bunch of beads on my door handle ... I think I am going to find some extra cool ones though.

[gregory311]

The Dinosaur has a ton of room in the bar area and also has a decent dining area.

But remember, it's one of the closest joints to BCA, so it's going to be mobbed more than usual.

I am thinking about getting there pretty early and fueling up before the beer doth flow.

J.

[shep@nancies]

Well, there's going to be a few of us who meet up at the bars by Alexander/East first, have a couple, and then hit up the Dino so in case it's too packed, we at least got some elbow room and drinking in previous to the show.

I was thinking something like Monty's Korner for pre-Dino, then Dino for pre-show. It'd be easier to meet up with everyone beforehand.

Rest assured that I am not wearing beads.

However, I should be around the majority of the weekend -- enough so you can meet me well before the show, you can meet a bunch of the folks off nancies, and so on. There'll probably be stuff going on that Friday night; we'll have contact information and whatnot available in December and then we can all figure out how to meet up.

That's a great spot. I've sat in the location (or the equivalent in other arenas) for 3 or 4 shows and they've been the best seats I've ever had.

I'm in Section 107, Row O this time. Not bad.

Praying that there's min. obstruction. If so, We're as close as can be off the floor!

[BDRead17]

Has anyone ever sat in the back part of the floor in Blue Cross? I'm in Section 52, Row B which seems to be the middle-part of the floor...just wondering if anyone who's been there has anything to say.

[JRemy511]

sec 117 row E

[mbrennan5]

I''m also wondering about the back of the floor. My brother has 53, one of the further rows. I got 105 J, which I'm very excited about. Which seats do you think are better?

[DMBMike36]

126 K


I might be selling them or trading them, not sure what i'm doing yet

[RetardedMonkey]

[chrrie]

[The Sean]

my WH seats in sec 116, row E. (1 row closer than last year)
my TM seats in sec 225, row C.
my WH-Instant seats: TBD

[The Sean]

last year i had section 62 (on the floor), single. it was my first show, and i didnt really like it down there. i could only see the monitors because it was near the back. ryan had his seats in sec 116, row F on the aisle, so i went up there, stood in the aisle, and had an awesome time.

I was there for Doughty. crowd was pretty good, show was good, got a nice autograph from him after the show.

we were right side of the stage (mic stand in the air) ... crowd was pretty good around us ... except for the few people that decided it was there right to push there way up to the stage at 9pm when it was already packed ... nice

I really wanted to go. What time did he go on? I thought the website said 8:30, and since I had class till 8:50 I didn't bother.

sounded pretty good on the headphones when listening real quick after the show. there were 2 sets of mics up there so 2 sources should get out. btw i didn't tape, it was naylor and greg m ... i just assisted ... aka 'taper bitch'

also there was a guy video taping from the back corner. not sure what is happening with that.

hey steinauf85---- i know u got some extra ticks. wanna sell two of them???
:D

[The Sean]

i do wanna sell two of them, but not until i know where my instant seat locations are. also theres a complicated situation with me and my friends involving tickets. between 6 people we have 12 tickets, 10 of them from the WH. we might know another couple that wants to go, but then we'll still have extra tickets. when i'm ready to sell tickets i'll make it known on here.

[DMBSW111]

anyone know about these seats....their section 106 and look good from the seat locator on the blue cross website but what i am wondering about...and hopefully someone knows is whether row b would be the second row in that section or where the alphabet would start in the back....i cant really remember from last winter but any help would be greatly appreciuated.

[The Sean]

row B is the second row

[chrrie]

haha rippy and rhuss just keep checking tm, they usuaully put out tickets within a couple weeks of the show...but i admit it's stressful not knowing.

if you're lucky though you can snag some nice ones :)

you got tickets that good for Darien after the real ticket date and a couple weeks before the show? i didn't even know ticketmaster did that. whats the deal?

[The Sean]

it was a Clear Channel promotion. my roommate guessed the password for it (it was unbelievably easy) and we got awesome seats.

[chrrie]

especially on the day of shows, tm puts out really good seats.

during the summer tour i would always look to see what i could pull up for shows that i knew i couldnt go to. i actually found really good seats for 7/18 dallas show and tried to work out a way i could book a flight in time...
didn't quite work out though, since i'm only 17. ;)

do they normally let people in the arena early...say hypothetically around sound check time?

It certainly wasn't that way last year (letting people in early)..and it was f'king cold outside...I can't even remember the show time last year...but it seems to me they waited as long as possible to open the doors...maybe an hour or hour and a half before the show...

I dunno though..the cold could have gone to my head

[unccrombie]

haha,i was there at 6, show was at...7:30 i think. yes it was freezing, and i didnt wear a coat in...ended up standing on the corner waiting for traffic for 5 minutes, i've learned my lesson

[chrrie]

when is soundcheck time normally?

[unccrombie]

i'd have to imagine 3-5 hours before

you weren't wearing shorts were you...cuz I saw some guys wearing shorts...I hope to god they didn't think that a girl would find that impressive or something....

PS...if you were wearing shorts...then disregard previous sentence.

[The Sean]

couldnt you just stand in the parking garage entrance?

[unccrombie]

i wasn't wearing shorts, the fact that someone would have the cajones in december to do that makes me want to shake his hand

[kasquith]

Show time was 7 last year (well, for the opener) and doors opened at 6.

I wandered around outside the arena all afternoon (I was bored -- I checked into the Crowne Plaza mid afternoon and had nothing to do). Nothing too interesting going down. There was some kind of radio promotion that had a lot of people standing by the main doors with signs. There were a few people hanging around the back by the busses and production vehicles, but I didn't see a single crew member walk in or out, let alone band member.

Definitely no hope of just wandering in for a soundcheck. I cannot imagine that happening anywhere.

I was in both of those areas...I saw Boyd in between the buses...and then listened to the frenzy for the radio station contest (after walking to the front door)...

outdoor, during the first leg and first couple shows of the 2nd there use to be sound check threads all the time

[ajfulls11]

I heard the soundcheck...or part of it from West Point...

it was....Dave, Tim, my friend, myself and two security people...

My friend and I were standing in the door of the highest balcony....once the security saw us...we bounced...they were playing gravedigger although last I checked DMBalmanac said they didn't SC that...

[brockboi]

i've heard two soundchecks as well. darien lake's and toronto's (both this year) and it's pretty interesting, but not something i'd wanna wait hours for. seen it a couple times now and that's all i need. outdoor concerts are the easiest for hearing soundcheck's i don't know how you would at an indoor show since the doors aren't really opened until about an hour before showtime.

[kasquith]

Originally posted by unccrombie

Oh... okay! Well of course! They're outdoor venues. You are standing on the other side of a fence so it's easy to HEAR the soundcheck. As well, a lot "here's what got soundchecked today!" threads come from IEM sources.

You made it sound like it's common for venues to just open their doors and invite people inside to watch the band play :)

around here beads are being used for everything, I think they are even giving them out in Happy Meals. The next thing you knolw there will be a video clip of us saying to the camera " what happens in Rochester stays in Rochester.";)

i was right outside the main doors to get in and heard the soundcheck from #41 on. DMBalmanac is wrong on a few parts of that, for instance, d+t soundchecked the begining of Warehouse and they dont have it up there.


edit: atleast they didn't for a while, i dont know if they do or not now.

[marhoochia]

beads - u know like mardi gras ones ... or plastic lai's (how ever u spell them) so we can identify each other.

we used that at college parties all the time, then when we went out to the bars after - were able to be like, they were there, they were'nt

beads / necklaces = very cool in my book!

[The Sean]

how about this idea:
is there any one section that we can meet while in the arena? we'll just congregate there. it cant be the floor because they check to make sure youve got floor tickets before they let you in there.

no kidding...

Christmas is a hassle anymore...and that is so bad to say...because it should be the time to spend with family and holiday spirit...blah blah...it has turned into people running around
completing last minute shopping...driving here for dinner then making it across town for the inlaws...or the other parent...grandparents...etc...kids screaming because they didn't get the PS2 or xbox game they wanted...wives pissed off at husbands because of the gift they rec'd...

Can't we just have a nice dinner with some wine and relax...

PS...can't wait for Rochester...
