Official Meadows Music Center in Hartford Thread

[Kyle#41_7985]

I didn't see one of these made up yet. So who's comin with me?

[brydro]

I will be there my man! Is it true no more red roof?

[FunkyNewGod]

I am requesting for this show.

:)

[Kyle#41_7985]

So many good memories of the Red Roof. Maybe they finally got sick of drunk people partying and singing all night long.

[Martial14]

I should be there this summer!! I missed it last summer because I was back at school by the time the guys came. I can't wait!!

[letsburnoneb]

I will be there my man! Is it true no more red roof?
i've heard nothing of this.. when did that happen

i'll be at the meadows regardless of the RR...

[Fooltothink55]

I will be there of course.

[wolfdisney]

I'll be there as well!!!

[watchtower41]

6 straight years and still going strong....you bet your bottom dollar, I dont miss a Meadows show. Hit my #100th there last year, the memories will long outlast the dirty bathroom sink in the middle of Hartford. After last years "tweener" shows, the band will come back with that Meadows force and energy we all live for.

The Red Roof will live in infamy, weve never stayed there, always opted for the more convienent and roomy, Super 8. Ahhh July 16 and 17th....wish they came tomorrow, though it was nice to pass through over the winter to catch the freinds tour.... Good times out there in Conneticut.

[Kyle#41_7985]

Connecticut doesn't get as much fame as many of the other states. But we must be doin something right cuz DMB, Dave and Friends, and Dave and Tim always make sure to stop here. Long live CT!!

[gugaistheman726]

my dads company built meadows way back. so i consider it part of the family.

[bohazo]

I will be there without a doubt-beer in hand.

[BustedJeff]

It's filthy, the crowd sucks and it smells like feet.

I'll be there both nights. :)

[Kyle#41_7985]

It's filthy, the crowd sucks and it smells like feet.

I'll be there both nights. :)

I'll be there barefooted with my pet pig. Maybe some mud wrestlin is in order. Or maybe some arm wrastlin'

[twosteppn36]

im makin the trip to hartford this year for the first time....any pointers or tips i should know about?

[Lcsulla]

Red Roof is a dump. Crown Plaza is where it's at. Be there rockin with the crew once again! Shows have to be better than last year, they couldn't possibly be worse.

[loogs91]

i hit my first 3 CT shows in the last 6 months.

here come 2 more :)

[Kyle#41_7985]

which of yall were at the meadows shows last year? Cuz I couldn't go. It looked like the first night was good but the second night was ruined by all those everyday songs in a row. I grimaced when I saw the setlist that night.

[loogs91]

no, night 2 was better. night one was ok, but a weak encore didnt do alot. but night 2 was great except for that little ED run, hearing recently in the encore totally surprised me and made the show for me. not to mention ASTB=>warehouse

[BustedJeff]

Both nights stunk. There was no energy whatsoever the first night. There were people sleeping in their seats. It was pathetic. They only woke up for Tripping Billies. Night two wasn't as bad, but the run of drab songs at the end and the short, sleepy Two Step really killed the crowds enthuism. The only redeming part of the second night was the nice Recently/Stay encore. The band really seemed like they didn't feel like playing those two shows, and it was very apparant. They even tossed Lover Lay Down from the the second night. Too bad. I left both shows feeling slightly unfulfilled.

[Kyle#41_7985]

With Hartford towards the beginning of the tour this year the guys should still be fresh and Dave's voice should be still on. It sounds like the guys were kinda stale by the time they got to the meadows last year. Meadows 2002 (second night especially) was very satisfying so I don't doubt that the guys will make up for it this year.

[Lcsulla]

Yeah, last years meadows shows were two of the worst shows I have ever been to. If it wasn't for 7-29-01 they would be #1 and #2 stinkers but that SPAC show took the cake!

course, I have NEVER left hartford dissapointed outside of last year, and that's starting with 9-2-95 so I am optimistic for this year, plus it's my b-day so even if it sucks I will have fun!

[Kyle#41_7985]

I was reading the Darien Lake thread and they had a lot of info of what to do and what not to do when going to the concert. I've only been to the meadows once so I don't have a lot to add. But, do any of you meadows veterans have any tips for parking, when to arrive, security issues, etc.?

[twosteppn36]

anyone have any camping info?

[Lcsulla]

Dude, coming from Brookfield, leave at like 1 or 2 or the traffic on the 84/91 interchange is a nightmare. I have been making the exact same trek since 95 and I learned in 99 that a hotel room is where it's at if you're doing both nights (Before 99 Hartford wasn't really sold out of crazy for DMB). Your car is safe, you don't have to drive, no traffic, and a good nights sleep between nights. There's quite a few of us from snobtown, CT that annually go up, plus a ton of 'community' people who meet us up there every year. It's a good time.

[BEST4T1]

I will be there both nights. I agree that 2nd night was best last year and my seats were great. I hope that I can do as well this year.

Please discourage lackluster yuppies from going if they are just going to sit there like zombies and take up space. Thanks! ;)

[Kyle#41_7985]

how much does it cost to get a decent hotel room that's pretty close?

[BEST4T1]

100 bucks

[twosteppn36]

can you give recommendations to what hotels are good and shit like that...id appreciate it...thanks

[Kyle#41_7985]

hmm...I don't know if I can spare 100 bucks after buying tickets to 3 or 4 shows. Maybe my parents will put me and my bro up. Maybe they'll buy us beer too!!

[BEST4T1]

Don't go to the Hilton downtown. Go to a Hampton Inn or Courtyard Marriott up 91. Why don't you all decide what hotel you want to stay in an all stay there (negotiate a group rate). You will be less hassled outside Hartford anyway....

[twosteppn36]

kyle....get 5 people to stay in the room....$20 a person....

[BEST4T1]

Now you are thinking!!!!

[Kyle#41_7985]

hmmm....I figured on ordering through the warehouse for tickets so I figured that I wouldn't be bringing more than just the person I went with. But, I guess I could still go with a bunch of peeps even if we're not sitting together. Yeah, us Ants should get something together.

[Kyle#41_7985]

good idea, I'm game

[twosteppn36]

i get em through warehouse most of the time...but a whole bunch of people go together...we just sit in different places...its the best way to do it

[bluewater1963]

what was that thing i heard bout no RR, they aint gonna let people there this year?

[bluewater1963]

I dont think DMB will continue at the meadows much longer, each year its getting more and more rowdier (exscuse the spelling)

[Kyle#41_7985]

I had some friends that went to Red Roof a couple times. After a night at the meadows filled with stupid drunk people I don't want them coming in my room to party after a long day. I'd rather chill with some people in a semi quiet and then get at least some sleep to get me through the next day.

[Kyle#41_7985]

I dont think DMB will continue at the meadows much longer, each year its getting more and more rowdier (exscuse the spelling)

most places are rowdy and always will be. Even if they do stop going to the meadows we'll have plenty of other places to see them. I doubt they'll stop though, they've been playing at the meadows forever.

[twosteppn36]

people being rowdy and all that has nothin to do with the band though....if they dont want it rowdy...then the security and venue needs to be more strict about everything

[bluewater1963]

yeah, it was pretty strick last year, my friend i went down with got picked up in the paddy wagon b4 the show.. was stuck waiting till 6am for him at HPD.

[Lcsulla]

Crown Plaza, exit 50. Def the place to be. We met Warren there at the bar in 01

[roachie1012]

I should be there this summer!! I missed it last summer because I was back at school by the time the guys came. I can't wait!!

Same thing happened to me! I had already bought the tickets and everything cause when I bought them I didn't know where I was going to school yet. It really sucked. But I'll definately be at both shows this summer!

-I was at 7-26-02 too!

[bkat73]

i'll be there both nights for sure! can't wait. i think its the 7th year in a row hitting up the meadows...always a good time.

[bohazo]

I dont think DMB will continue at the meadows much longer, each year its getting more and more rowdier (exscuse the spelling)

I disagree-with each passing year the Police seem to cramp down a little harder and I don't think there will ever be riots again (thank God)-at least that was my eperience last year.

[patrickdrip]

Allright i got two choices concerning these two shows.

1.) Go to both and sleep in my car the night between. (Coming from Long Island, can't afford a hotel room, let alone the two tickets)

2.) Choose just one of the shows and drive there and back in one day.

[@WarWithTheMoon]

I love the Meadows shows, always fun. I think this year will be the first year I'm going both nights, can't wait.

[letsburnoneb]

im makin the trip to hartford this year for the first time....any pointers or tips i should know about?
you should be ready for the most insane tailgaiting you have ever seen... hartford is notorious for it. the meadows is also a great venue... good sound, lots of hardcore fans. plus, it's the one venue that dmb has played the most shows at, aside from trax and the floodzone

[BenfromCT]

so is red roof just shutting down for the weekend?

[Lcsulla]

Red Roof doesn't exist anymore.

[brydro]

Yeah the red roof....good memories...but time to move on...Last yr these damn people kept singing this stupid song until about 6 am LMAO! ALL NIGHT LONG...THEY WOKE UP AND STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN...

[droseh41]

I'm gonna be there. :D

[neenee]

Ahhhh, dave at the meadows. It will be the highlight of this, and every, summer for me. Whats better than parking at the Gold Club, six hours of tailgating with friends and stangers a like as you trek leisurely though the Expo Center parking lot, buying a redonculous amount of jello shots for like 5 dollars, and then finally sharing an awesome concert with a few thousand of your closest friends? I love it.

[Kalika623]

ok...now i feel dumb. didn't see this thread...started my own. but I'll be there. as I am every summer when they come to good ol' reliable Meadows. We must be some damn good fans for him to keep wanting to return :angel WOOHOO DAVE!

[twosteppn36]

I'm gonna be there. :D




ooooooooh no ;)

[bartender1]

ive never been to either and i have a question i belong to warehouse now for 2 goin on three years in october now if i get tickets to them how is it there do i only stand in lawn and not get a seat like how does it work does everyone run like in central park and gorge to stand somewhere if someone can help id appreciate it thanx alot and how do u go on about getting lawn seats

[droseh41]

ooooooooh no ;)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know its gonna be the best show just cause I'M gonna be there.

[twosteppn36]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know its gonna be the best show just cause I'M gonna be there.




You're right....it wont have anything to do with the music, as long as my twin is at the same show i am.... :multi

[bbrianblaze]

I'll be there!! Hopefully both nights!

Kind ant, you need punctuation help.




ps people usually show up early enough to 'secure' a spot with a blanket... no CP-type rush!

[droseh41]

You're right....it wont have anything to do with the music, as long as my twin is at the same show i am.... :multi
:thumbsup Damn right.

[gr8tkingrat]

Hey all,

Im hoping to make both shows.

Got a fair bit of organising to do firs though. I'll be travelling all the way from birmingham, UK. Pretty mad i know but i just gotta do it! Never seen DMB live or done this kinda thing before but you know, what the hell!? Im a student... there is no better time to be in debt in your life!

Im thinking, flying to NY (JFK, or newark possibly?) then getting a bus (a greyhound i think?!? whatever that is!) up to hartford. Then good old walking to the show!

Only bummer is that i am not a warehouse member...so i damn sure hope i can get tickets online...maybe from ticketmaster (or ticketbastard as you guys sometimes rather worryingly call it!)

Tom

[scotty12]

Are many Canadians coming up??
Given a choice, would you hit this show or Camden?

[jimithing1221]

i'll be there for both nights, hopefully not on the lawn--last years lawn was terrible.

[Kyle#41_7985]

:lol :lol You park at the Gold Club? :lol :lol The sad thing is that I've actually been there before. How long a walk is it from the Gold Club to the Meadows?

[bartender1]

Fellow ants i requested both shows now a question im gonna be staying overnight wit my friend we wanna know where can we stay closest and nicest place to the venue prefferably

[neenee]

:lol :lol You park at the Gold Club? :lol :lol The sad thing is that I've actually been there before. How long a walk is it from the Gold Club to the Meadows?
Haha, its not too far at all...And its so much easier to get out of after the show. Plus its just so sketched out back there, its funny. And like i said, i enojy getting there early and walking through the expo lots. Theres usually tons of ppl i know going, and even ppl i dont, that we hang with for a while, and then they'll join us in the walk...A good time is had by all.

[twostep66]

how does the warehouse usually do in the seating department? close? far? law? if any veterans can let me know it'd be appreciated.

[Kyle#41_7985]

I was a first year member last year and I got lawn for the first night, I didn't request the second night. I'm hoping for better this year.

[scotty12]

For night 2 I put in a request for 2 tickets, reserved only.
As it turns out, I think there may be a third who would like to enjoy the evening.
Would anyone recommend trading for 3 lawn seats (I've heard its pointless to request 3 reserved seats together, they only come in even numbered blocks) or should I try and get three reserved seats somewhere?
Thanks

[droseh41]

My brother got accepted for Reserved night 1...doesn't really mean anything cause I still have to get tickets through ticketmaster. His friend that we were depending on for the 3rd and 4th tickets got declined. Oh well.

[Kyle#41_7985]

I got confirmed for lawn seats for both nights. Hopefully ticketmaster can hook me up. If anyone is selling reserved seats for either night I'll certainly buy them from ya. MetsKnicks55@yahoo.com or PM me.

[bohazo]

I got denied for both nights (wanted reserved), not really sure how that happened. I thought I would at least get one night. Anybody knwo generally how quick these sell out on tickets.com?

[Neighbor Bill]

About 10 minutes, both shows. If you get through. They always seem to get bogged down and I have high speed cable.

Better bet is go to the Oakdale that morning, they'll be doing a lottery for line order. You an also get tickets.com tickets at Strawberry locations.

The Meadows box office isn't open this early in the season.

[bartender1]

Ok Heres the deal I am part of warehouse now for two years. My stupid friend decided she was gonna give me her credit card and I would request two nights for hartford. Where we were gonna sleep over and one night for camden. The thing is she gave me her maxed out credit card and I got declined to all three. Now if anyone can please im looking to buy two tickets to hartford and two tickets to camden one night camden two nights hartford please ants find it in your hearts if not then ill hopefully get ticketmaster even if you have one of those three nights its better then none thank you so much for your time.

[Kyle#41_7985]

hey guys, I'm definitely goin to both nights. I know a bunch of parties already that are gonna go down. I probably won't be staying overnight cuz I live about 50 minutes away or so but we should definitely get some preconcert action going. Can't wait for this.

[somedevil22]

does anyone have 2 extra reserved tickets for either night 1 or 2 doesnt matter.
Thanks

[birdman1650]

got reserved first night....hell yea

[Hobe12]

is there a train station near the venue? how many people does it hold?

i got tix...hope i will be able to get myself there

[MinookaMac]

I am coming up from PA....I got a room for Saturday night at the hilton garden inn for 39.00..If anyone has good tickets(i didn't get mine yet) I would buy them for face and extend the courtesy and get you a room for the same price. Just putting it out there....Anyways never went to hartford really looking forward to it..I am doing the hartford, hershey, burrgetstown.stops this year.. Can't wait couldn't see 1 show 1 SHOW!!!last summer Serious withdraw....peace

[Kyle#41_7985]

what locations u guys got? I got lawn both nights through warehouse but I got a pair of tickets in section 400 for the first night from ticketmaster. I've just got lawn for the second night. The lawn seats I had first the first night were warehouse preferred, too bad I'm selling them so I can't see what this preferred seating is like.

[He4ther]

OK so I thought I would only request night 2 because I am feeling old and tired from going both nights every year but the feeling of wanting to go to night one is creeping up inside of me. How could I not go to both shows? I am wondering if I request one single seat night one on the boards if I will get it. OK I am Sec 800 Row BBB night two by the way, 3rd year WH member.

[@WarWithTheMoon]

I got 600 DDD for the first night, and lawn for the second. Anyone know how good these will be, I've only had pavilion once and don't remember what the numbers were so I'm hoping these are still good.

[Fooltothink55]

Those are upper pavillion...near the back. Any seat in there is good in my opinion.

[halloween21]

I got section 100 row F night one and still looking for night 2s woohoo

[MKnight1254]

i have section 800 row dd for night 1 and lawn for the second. im going to try to get seats for the second night through instant ticketing though

[wolfdisney]

how does the warehouse usually do in the seating department? close? far? law? if any veterans can let me know it'd be appreciated.
The Warehouse seems to get worse each year, they have only so many up close tickets, because Connecticut has a Ticket Club for most shows at most of the Venues (Meadows,Oakdale,Mohegan sun etc..) so they get dibs on the tickets first
I joined it one year a few years ago and got better seats than the Warehouse
But they raised the cost from like 100 to over 200 for the year, so i quit it


EDIT:I'll be at both shows only one pair from warehouse though,declined for other, but got from Tickets.com for other night

[bohazo]

I was thinking of joining that club but it seemed like a lot when I only see DMB. But you did get good seats though, huh?

Someone where I work is in this and hooks me up with tickets every year. Last year I got 4 lawn (that was what I wanted) and this year I got section 800 row ff. Not the greatest but still worth not having to fight on tickets.com IMHO.

[patrickdrip]

It seems like warehouse really isn't worth joining anymore. There's so many members now that i got better seats through TM then i did threw Warehouse. Allthough there is allways a chance for anyone when they do the seats by lottery.

[droseh41]

So my brother, 2nd year warehouse member, got section 100 row H. 11th row!

[BustedJeff]

I'm somewhere in the 700's...better than nothing I guess. I forget where I am the second night.

[cavecricket34]

Hey guys, I'm looking for hotels in the surrounding areas since everything in Hartford seems to be booked. Are there any places I'd want to avoid? I'm a little worried after calling and talking to the people at the Days Inn in New Britain. :confused:

[FunkyNewGod]

I just found out I am going. I have Section 800 Row RR. What kind of seats are they? I have never been to hartford before.

[bbrianblaze]

Hmmm, it's really time for me to find some Night1 (7/16) Meadows tix...

:rolleyes:




ps Section 800, row RR is kinda far back and off to the right (looking out from the stage)... BUT you're under cover for a great night!!! Better than what I have for Night1 so far....

[ChrisV784]

First night I got Section 200 Row S (Tickets.com)
Second night (My birthday) Section: Orch Row C (also Tickets.com) I lucked out this year. I'm so excited.

[Hench]

Anyone need night 1 lawn tix?

[Hench]

You still hittin the strip club on yer birthday chris? I sold my night 2 tix, but maybe if anyone has a spare I'll shoot into town for it

[ChrisV784]

of course i'm going to the strip club. its right there. ants get together at the gold club after night 2!! woohoooo!

[tblincoe]

of course i'm going to the strip club. its right there. ants get together at the gold club after night 2!! woohoooo!

damn dude im definitely down for that

[snyddogg430]

OK guys I've got a question. My friend and I are making the trip to Hartford most likely. He's got Warehouse tickets for sec. 100 row 6. He said that Hartford's seating goes all the way to the side of the stage. Since the tix are from Warehouse, we don't know which seats are our's. On the side of 100 towards the 200 section, the seats are great, but my question is how are they if we are towards the stage side? It seems that our view might totally suck if its from the absolute side of the stage. If anybody knows anything about how the view is from these seats, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

[stunnersal]

If you are in the corner of the stage you might have an obstructed view...

OK thanks for the info.

[jimithing1221]

Hey Guys. I haven't posted much in the Meadows thread, but I'm here. I have a question. Night one, the show starts at 8, so the band will be on at 9. Just thought this was weird because don't a lot of cities have curfews? If they go on at 9, the'll be done at like 11:15, then encore will be done around 11:45 we'll say. I remember when DMB played at Folsom Field they played past curfew and had to pay a hefty fine. Just curious about this. Night one the band will be on at 9? Night two they'll be on at 8:05 (which is usually means around 8:20). Just wondering if anyone heard why they are starting late, and if noise curfex exists in Hartford?

[stunnersal]

OK thanks for the info.
No problem!!! :thumbsup

Go hartford!! :thumbsup

[onid_41]

im looking forward to some great shows this year at the meadows, it'll be my 4th year here and every show seems to get better and better, look forward to seeing all you guys there

[Bartender2424]

[taylorstone]

[bbrianblaze]

EVERYONE used to stay at the Red Roof... about .2 mi away from the Meadows... walking distance. I'd guess it's booked by now but who knows.. :ugh:

[He4ther]

I am in sec 700 night 2, but I want to go night one also. Is anyone going alone that needs someone to go with? I'll go with you night one, you come with me night two. Reserved only though...

Also, I live 20 minutes from the Meadows and we can crash at my house...

[He4ther]

Hey I recognize your name - who are you going with night one?

[maks155]

exactly 1 month till night 1

[He4ther]

exactly 1 month till night 1

300 J is a nice location. Yes, one month. I get butterflies thinking about it. OK, I told myself being a single mother that I have priorities, and going to as many dmb shows as possible should not be one. (Saving for college should) BUT now I feel the need to go to BOTH hartford shows. How did I ever think I would be able to resist this? I need to find a seat for night one. I know if I just show up there will be tickets for sale there, but I really want to go with someone. It seems everyone on here has a buddy or a bunch of friends to go with every summer, so what is up with me always being alone??? Can anyone help a girl out?

[onid_41]

hey is anyone else staying at the hilton garden inn at south hartford, i wanna see if theres gonna be a lot of people there goin to the concert, i dont want to be staying at a boring hotel

Are you looking for a romantic prospect, or just a warm body that can carry halfway intelligent conversation?

[He4ther]

Are you looking for a romantic prospect, or just a warm body that can carry halfway intelligent conversation?

Not really looking for a romantic prospect, so I guess I will go with the second one. :-)

[onid_41]

i love the meadows :thumbsup

[crushme8602]

its about time someone started a Hartford thread;-)

[maks155]

question about seating:
im in section 300 row j for night 1
j is the tenth letter in the alphabet- but i hear there are four rows of orchestra seating, so am i technically in the 14th row? or are the orchestra seats letters A-D therefore putting me in the 10th row
either way i dont care- im pumped- this will be the closest ive ever sat

[bowhatsaround]

Last i heard Red Roof is booked!! :thumbsup

Yup...I got in there thursday night-Sunday...can't wait cause saturday in my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WarWithTheMoon]

These concerts are gonan be crazy.

[sonicdmb41]

MEADOWS ROCKS.....good place to see a show, good sound, good tailgating before the show. Security has gotten alot tighter since the JACKASSES rioted in 1999. I will be there both nights this year.

The only section with "ORCH" seats is section 200 (the middle section) and there are only 3 rows in ORCH (A,B,C) Section 300 starts with A.

[onid_41]

what are some hotels ya'll are stayin at :cool:

[jmh488]

hey ill be there, first time to meadows too, and i got 11th row from the stage the second night..wohoo

[Footsteps]

So what's the deal with a curfew in Hartford. I think it's mostly commercial stuff around there so maybe there isn't one. I know when I saw Pearl Jam in Mansfield last summer they got fined because they went past 11pm.

[bjp03]

royal crowne plaza baby. 100 bucks for a sweet ass room, dont have to wake up the next morning and fight the i84 traffic. the only way to go. and yes i agree last years shows were weak. the stretch of something like 4 or 5 everyday songs in a row made it a snooze fest. had a sweet ass gig and watchtower intro though.

[DevilishAliya]

hey ill be there, first time to meadows too, and i got 11th row from the stage the second night..wohoo
first time for me too!! :bounce and its getting closer and closer everyday

[Moose6868]

:lol

[halloween21]

ive been here before and thought it wasn't anything special...SPAC kicks this places ass but I got 6th row for night one so Im hoping it will be better

[cmdace18]

hey guys .. ive been trying to do some research, and it hasnt gone well - i have section 300, row G for both nights .... the 1st night i have seats 315, 316 - the last two seats in that aisle - and the 2nd night i have 305, 306 -


on the detailed seating chart, row G dies into the stage, and I think starting at Row I is where the wall starts ......was wondering if the view is obstructed, or if the rows behind me against the wall are the obstructed ones .. anyone help me out? thanks!!

[onid_41]

personally id rather sit in the lawn...fun times there

[bjp03]

unfortunately anything on the extreme left and right in the second tier is pretty much blocked by speaker stacks. its kind of a luck of the draw depending on where your seats are.

[cmdace18]

2nd tier? as in 400 500 600 700 and 800 middle sections?

[bohazo]

Does anyone know how many seats there are in a row? For Friday I have section 800 seats 823 and 825. Anybody know if those will be obstructed? Thanks.

[babaman4]

Hey, i got lawn tickets for nite 2 at hartford. I know its kinda late, but does anyone know a way i can get reserved seats (other than ebay). I tried getting them on tickets.com the minute they went on sale, but they were sold out before i could get anything.

[bbrianblaze]

keeeeep checking back here (ticket exchange)...

Good luck!

[ziggyosk]

I have extra reserved night 2's lemme know if you want them.

[onid_41]

theres always people scalping

[bjp03]

heres to hoping they dont burn themselves out on nancies before they get here so i can finally see a full band performance instead of that tease that dave gave us a couple years ago...

[Saygoodbye41]

Reading this thread brings back memories at the Meadows.. Good times:) I'll be going to both shows, not sure where I'm sitting because my friend has the tickets, but Hartford is always fun! It's only a few weeks away, wooohooo!!

[@WarWithTheMoon]

So how does the awesome tailgating here compare to other venues?

[uriboarder02]

8th show there for me in the last 6 years...I can't wait. I love going to Hartford (I may be the first person in history to say that). I don't know if it's been resolved, but the red roof inn is no more. It's now a motel 6 and by the time I figured that out, it was sold out. So we'll be livin it up in the crowne plaza. Who else will be there??

[cmdace18]

2 weeks from tomorrow!! (thought id top this)

[droseh41]

Well I just got my instant tickets for night 2...only 3 rows closer than what I had gotten from tickets.com. I hate the Warehouse. Also, I have a question- is there any obstructed view seating? I have a choice to either sit in section 700 row FFF or section 400 row BBB. Which would be better as far as visibility of the stage?

[droseh41]

Top..any info?

[Rdedeian]

I posted this in the ticket part but I'll add it in here.

Anyone knowing of a taper who still is looking for a spot to tape or maybe looking for a better spot to tape for Night One, I have a great opportunity for anyone of them.

I have tickets in Sect 100 Row B, 2nd Row! Seats 101 and 102, I'm going down to both shows by myself (need a nice weekend all to myself) so the other ticket is up to grabs for a taper to tape from there, I will help out with gear or whatever else they need help with. FOR TAPERS ONLY!!!


So if you know of a taper or yourself looking for a spot or an better location, tell them or yourself to email me at Rdedeian@aol.com

I think there is always the possibility of an obstructed view in 400 & 800 so I'd go with the 700's. In 400 you might not see LeRoi or even Fonzi at times. Plus I had some 400's once and even though they were in the center of the section I thought the audio was f'ed up (bad acoustics). It sounded muffled or like we were listening to an echo part of the time. Might've just been bad alll around that night, I'm not sure...
Just my $.02

SPAC's acoustics are not half as good as Meadows. Meadows is notoriously known for one of the best venues for sound in the country. Also the reason why a few bands rehearse for their tour there, including everyone's favorite. Where many people seem to ignore this fact, I get blown away every year from the start of the opening riff. This place was made for this band. Combine that with the amazing sets that dMb has played there, (minus last year) Meadows is by far and away my favorite place to see the band.

[wolfdisney]

The rows in sections 400-800 have 40 seats.
When you enter the venue you enter through the 100 section or 400 section
And if I remember correctly the seats start at 01 there and go to 40, so 401-440 and then 501-540 and so on.
Hope that helps

Does anyone know how many seats there are in a row? For Friday I have section 800 seats 823 and 825. Anybody know if those will be obstructed? Thanks.

[uriboarder02]

what are some hotels ya'll are stayin at :cool:

Crowne Plaza...

the Red Roof (which is now Motel 6) was sold out.

[mdk]

Hey guys. I just have a quick ticket question. I've never been to the Meadows and the seating charts I've seen are blurry and vague. I have seats in Section 100 Seats 101-102. Are these on the inner aisle (next to 200) or on the outside aisle. Thanks in advance.

Inner I believe

[bowhatsaround]

Crowne Plaza...

the Red Roof (which is now Motel 6) was sold out.

I'm at the red roof, and I was smart again...everyone checks in the day of the first show. I check in the night before so I don't have to deal with the line an hour long to check in...also I can get started saterday morning

[mdk]

outside isle .... seats go L ---> R ... seats 1 to 15, or 20, or 27, etc...

I'm somewhat confused by this. If they went left to right, then wouldn't seat 1 be on the inside aisle closer to Section 200?

[halloween21]

I called and have seats 103 104 row F night one right next to you mdk and she said that they are closer to sec 200

[He4ther]

I wanted to go to night one of Hartford but it appears as though I am broke. I will be at night two though, and I keep forgetting my location. I am going to check that now though...Hi Halloween21!!!

[saxman1083]

another ticket question----

I have sect. 700 row FFF. Is this the 6th row of the section or is it way in the back. Are there single lettered rows in the upper sections?

[Holla9]

I'm flirting with the idea of going night 1 . Hows the lawn there ?

i myself prefer lawn. this way you don't really have to deal with security trying to bust you as much, plus you always meet a ton of people on the lawn.


9 more days left!!! i can't wait!! if anyone feels like meeting up for a burger and some beers or whatever else. drop me a pm.

[timg1414]

the lawns not that bad visually. it all depends on where your standing. they've got 3 big screens. one on the left, center and right sides of the lawn.

[onid_41]

i prefer the lawn also, its fun times and everyone is damn cool around you

its gettin closer and closer i can smell it already

You will be in the way back of the pavillion but you should be able to just fine (middle section). I sat there for Weezer and the tickets were very nice.

[bohazo]

So these will be my last two shows of the tour, really hoping for a Stone opener and classic like Seek Up or #41 or Graves or Say Goodbye. Should be some great shows, hopefully they will make up for last year.

[ziggyosk]

Its not too far, but alot farther away than at SPAC if you've ever been there. The meadows seems alot bigger in the pavillion. But it will be better than the lawn, thats for sure.

[Julia21]

Who all is going night one? Looking for WH lawn. But I'm sure I'll be there ( I can still get regular through meadows)
Are we tailgating first?

[He4ther]

I agree. I want 41, LIOG and Say goodbye. Those are my expectations for these 2 shows, please.

graves would be amesome to see! it's one of my fav songs. say goodbye would be nice also. a spoon or minarets would be amazing to see though. but who knows with the boys, they always seems to put on amazing shows at the meadows since it's tied with the gorge for most played venue. can't wait only 8 more days!!!!

[crushme8602]

ok i just noticed the night 2's show starts at 8pm.... and i could have sworn hartford has a venue curfew... anyone know anything about this cause if this is true, dmb gets to play for like an hour!! :(

I thought night 1 started at 8:00, i thought it was just so people could make it there in time for the show but I am going to check the ticket. Perhaps there is no longer a curfew on Saturday nights? I live here and have no clue though.

Checked the ticket, night one starts at 8:00, probably b/c of traffic, not sure what that will mean for the band though.

[TwoStepFF]

I need night 2 tickets badly...ya'll think some will pop up as the week goes on?

[wolfdisney]

The Friday show is at 8 and the Saturday show is at 7 (on tickets and on websites)
So NERD should come on about those times.

I dont know officially that there is a curfew or not, but most shows I've been to at the Meadows were over by 11 at the latest.

[Metallinut]

Sweet...got my 7/16 Lawns...hoping to get 7/17's too. I want ALL of you to look for the couple selling bubbles. We're gonna be selling little things of bubbles...get as many people blowing bubbles in the concert as we can...maybe Dave'll say something about them from the stage...

See you all there!

If she finds cheesy looky idiots wearing flip flops and long sleeved dress shirts with the collars flipped up hot, then yes, there will be a lot of them. I'm going to stereotype a bit and guess she will be playing with her phone all night?

I'm just picking on you. It's all in good fun.

Good to see that some SPAC'ers are going to Hartfords too! Tim it would be great to hear you jam. Any tailgating night one?

[ChrisV784]

I need an extra pavilion seat for night 2 (my b-day) for my girlfriend. anyone have an extra? let me know!!! :)

[onesweetwh1rld]

Any tailgating night one?
I'm tailgating...

I heard mad people in the Hartford area go to the Dave show to party and dont even listen to Dave... is that true? I know I've heard people who go just for the party say that its awesome, but as a real fan is Hartford usually a good show? These will be my first 2 shows, and I put $130 into getting tickets to both nights...

Also, tailgating I was thinking about bringing my guitar and maybe my keyboard... Do other people ever bring stuff to jam with in the parking lot?

[onesweetwh1rld]

One more thing, anybody know anything about will call at the meadows? what I'll have to bring? just ID or what?

it's true that at the meadows a lot of people do just go there to party. After goin to SPAC this year I can say that the people there were a lot better. But I really can't complain about the Meadows cuz the guys usually play great shows (except last years) and the tailgating is very good. And yes, the true fan will get a good show.

Bring your guitar, I haven't seen anybody with a keyboard before.

[onid_41]

Im bringing my guitar and jamming while tailgaiting, its comin up pretty soon!

[Metallinut]

Hey guys,

Really looking forward to going to both of these shows.

What's the parking lot/tailgating situation like? I've been to a lot of shows at the Tweeter Center (Great Woods) in Mansfield, and that lot is off the hook. Plenty of room to hang out and chill? Cost? (Mansfield is free).

Looking forward to seeing you all there. Look for us selling "concert bubbles." It'll make the show crazy I guarantee.

[maks155]

when do the hartford shows start? the ticket says 8:00. is that when the band comes onstage or the opener comes onstage? im assuming the opener is on at 7, because i can't see the band coming out at 9.

hey,

i lived in WH for over ten years, nice to see someone from there on the boards. How old are you? It is possible that I know you. As for your questions, people used to go to the shows just to party but ever since the riots they nhave cracked down and you have to show your tickets to get in the lot and they clear the lots at 6:00 or 7:00. Hartford usually gets some of the best shows of the tour although last years were pretty weak, I think Dave was sick or something. I would bring the guitar, never seen someone with a keyboard before...

[Kyle#41_7985]

I'm feelin some LIOG action at the meadows this year. I just hope Carter's wrist is feelin better by the time Friday rolls around.

[sonicdmb41]

I am almost feeling a Seek -Up opener on one of the nights ...now that would be sweet. Bring your guitar and keyboards and jam out , the lot scene is very good. :thumbsup

[chris41]

I have been to the meadows the past 3 years, definetly a great concert, im goin to both this year. What are the odds of hearing #41 this year. Ive been to a bunch of shows and have yet to hear it. Hopefully he will make these two shows extra special to make up for last years concerts their. Maybe dave will go crazy with alittle Halloween.

Definety bring your guitar, I konw i will be bringing mine...see u all there!

[say_goodbye19]

I'm going to both nights, and after seeing the boys last night at hershey, they are definitely on! Where's everyone sitting? I think I have 5th row on the right side or something for the first night, is anyone near there? I've been going to ct for years, it's one of my favorite venues, and definitely the best ive been to for tailgating.

Now that is what I am saying, hopefully they will. I am really hoping they either open with Stone or Seek Up. (am I a bit redundant yet) :lol :lol

Either way I think they will be very solid!

[xxhurley19xx]

I've been in WH for about 6 or 7 years now... I'm 16 (17 in October) and my AIM is onesweetwh1lrd... Although nobody ever IMs me from these boards :confused: ...I went to Hall for a year, but have been at private school ever since :( ...

Never met anybody in WH who was into trading and stuff, do you play any music?

[onid_41]

I have been to the meadows the past 3 years, definetly a great concert, im goin to both this year. What are the odds of hearing #41 this year. Ive been to a bunch of shows and have yet to hear it. Hopefully he will make these two shows extra special to make up for last years concerts their. Maybe dave will go crazy with alittle Halloween.

Definety bring your guitar, I konw i will be bringing mine...see u all there!i wanna hear #41 too buddy! :multi see you there!

[wolfdisney]

4 More Days!!!! :bounce
I feel Seek Up and 41 :)

[rickyh24]

did anyone ever find anything out about the curfew??? if nerd goes on around 8 im guessing dave will around 9 then play till 11 on saturday??

[Julia21]

Can you count the minutes. I wish BrahmaBull or unccrombie would help us out. They did such a good job with phone list/count down and seating charts for SPAC. Anyone else have that capability?
Anyway lets keep this thread on top!!! SEEK UP has to be played!! :bounce

[Metallinut]

These'll be my 9th and 10th shows. I still have never seen Say Goodbye live. Let's go!

And don't forget to look for the couple selling concert bubbles! :cool:

Huh? What did they do?

<clearly wasn't part of the SPAC fun....

[bbrianblaze]

Hey that's kinda weird... cuz I'm pretty sure these will be my 9th and 10th shows too!!

:thumbsup


Edit: unless I screwed up my "Shows Attended" info... :lol :freak

[MistreatedLewis]

Didn't think I was going to any shows this summer. Now I'm making it to night 2. Rock on!

Can't wait to hear the new stuff live. Hoping for a Jimi Thing, Don't Burn the Pig, and long Recently as well. So Right, The Dreaming Tree, and #41 would be sweet surprises, but I'm not kidding myself...

[wolfdisney]

If you call this # 860-548-7370 for the Meadows, they will give you all info.
I called, and the lady said that there is a curfew of 11, she said in the past they have extended it past that on Friday and Saturdays, but she doesnt know for sure what they are doing this year yet, said she will have all the paperwork on Wed or Thursday as far as exact times
And for Friday NERD will be on at 7 as the ticket states the start time is and 8 for Saturday (usually approx start times, but they wont be on before that)

[Julia21]

<clearly wasn't part of the SPAC fun....


You missed the fun!! They had a website with a password protected phone list and a seating chart of who was where. totally cool. the bubbles sound like fun, maybe I'll bring some just in case I don't find you guys. So I missed most of the Jam session at SPAC. :BANG

Can we try to meet in the jai lai parking lot? PM me if you have a cell maybe I can get a list together and e-mail it to those interested unless someone has a better Idea :D

[Chaykak]

#41'll be played one day or the other :thumbsup Wish I could go, I'll be away T_T

[Metallinut]

[He4ther]

Halloween21, did you get tix for night 2?

[halloween21]

[He4ther]

yea I got night twos

You should update your signature...Am I going to have the pleasure of you & whoever else playing your guitar(s)??? When are you planning to get to Hartford? I plan on taking a half day that day, and like I said 100 times, I live about 20 minutes from the Meadows, on a good traffic day.

[ziggyosk]

I'm tailgating...

I heard mad people in the Hartford area go to the Dave show to party and dont even listen to Dave... is that true? I know I've heard people who go just for the party say that its awesome, but as a real fan is Hartford usually a good show? These will be my first 2 shows, and I put $130 into getting tickets to both nights...

Also, tailgating I was thinking about bringing my guitar and maybe my keyboard... Do other people ever bring stuff to jam with in the parking lot?
It is true that alot of people only show up to party, which sucks. After attending SPAC you do notice a difference in the fans. It shouldn't be too bad though. Ive been 3 years in a row now, and at least inside its pretty good.

Hiya!
Didn't get to meet you at SPAC are you going to night one?
Tailgating before?
I'm in WH lawn hope to meet up with some real fans and enjoy the show.
Bringing bubbles to show my support! :rolleyes:

[bbrianblaze]

Thought this was stern of the Htfd parking facilities... last year you had to show tickets in order to park in their lots. Honestly I cannot remember what you did if you had "will call"... But I guess they are either trying to crack down on picking up scalped tickets there, tailgating with no intentions of attending the concert, both or some other BS....

:rolleyes:

I agree, for the first time this year, I went somewhere other than the Meadows (SPAC), and what a difference in atmosphere. I will always go to SPAC now, just because of that. Of course, I will still go to the Meadows because it is so close, but not for the tailgating...

[stunnersal]

ahhhhh Hartford here i come..... :monkey :monkey
