Official Tweeter, Mansfield MA thread

[AJDMB05]

Didn't see one of these up yet; there wasn't one last year until about the month before.

This was one of the least talked about two night stands last year and both nights turned out to be incredible. Night 1 with Nancies -> Typical -> Two Step, and night 2... nearly everything, Ants opener, #41, Jimi Thing w/ scat, Jane, and Spoon -> Billies encore.

Anyways, discuss. :D I'm going to try to be at both nights personally.

[petelax06]

well ill be going to both night, just like last year. It was amzing then and this year IMO will be better, new songs, hopefully timmy comes out of hiding , and i know that the Davefestival will be on the July 4th break in the region. I cant wait, c all you ants there. :hug

[JTRain]

I'll be attending one show at least, if not both. Can't wait,

[smallwaise]

both nights were great last summer

can't wait, and it's in july this time not in the middle of school

[BustedJeff]

I'm interested in going to these shows if SPAC doesn't show up. How is the venue? I asked in another forum, but nobody responded.

It's about a 3 and a half hour drive, so I'm wondering if it's worth it.

[seekup41nancies]

Had a great time tailgating last year, and the 2 shows were amazing. I will see ya'll there again this yr.

[Kyle#41_7985]

It's about a two and a half hour drive for me so I think I'm gonna just catch one night. Maybe two though, you never know. I've never been to Tweeter before so I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[carlosz1021]

going to one show only. cant afford both. if i had to pick, what do you people think. 1st show or second? In 2 night stands in general is one show better than the other?

[droseh41]

GENERALLY the 2nd night. See: 12-21-02, 9-9-03.

[drty snchz]

completely agree i would guess 90% of the time night 2 is easily better-although i am hitting up night one only

[greppson]

where's the love for mansfield. a cute venue, i've always wanted to see dmb here, but have never been able to. this year though, both nights.:)

[carlosz1021]

i know. you really would think that there are NO DMB fans in the area (or at least none these boards). We usually get decent shows. I remember in 2002 (my first concert) at the fleet it was the first time they played YNK. That was pretty awesome. Night one of last summer's show was unbelievable (ants openner, spoon, STJL, so many others), and D&F show at the fleet was where Waste was first played. I think we will be in for a treat. I'll be there for the second show :multi

[carlosz1021]

i know people will say i am retarded but mansfield has a lot of green areas for camping. If it isnt because it is kind of small, i wouldn't have minded the festival there (then again, I am biased. I am only a 30min train ride away).

[AJDMB05]

19,000 = too small, even for a 2 night festival. I'll venture a guess and say this supposed NYC festival is going to attract many people outside the city. Tweeter sold out really fast last year for a normal show, so a big one would be complicated.

8 days until tickets, and 3 months/2 weeks/a couple days until these shows. :D

[tdowe99]

I plan to be at both shows, and this year I'm gonna do some tailgating.
Hopefully bring a grille.

[greppson]

looks, from my CC charge, that i will be sitting reserved both nights, i hope for a good seat!!:) flying solo because i couldn't find anyone to go with me and i really want to enjoy the boys in this little place.:)

[underdog1924]

I'll be there for both shows...be nice if they announced who was opening.

[AJDMB05]

Well, I'm not getting anyone's hopes up, but the Flecktones are free from 7-2 to 7-25. You never know. They've got OAR (gag), NERD (ugh), and Guster/Mraz (woo!) already so it's not out of the question...

[carlosz1021]

here's to hoping they are going to save the best opening band announcement for this section of the tour :D

[greppson]

rumor on the bridge that liz phair and damien rice will be opening:

[SKbabe]

Tweeter is the best! Your gonna have soooo much fun! I'll see you there!!!!

[AJDMB05]

Another from Warwick? :D nice.

[SweetUpandDown]

Yep... I'll be there too! From Providence tho... although, I do go to school in Warwick.

:)

[dmb41er]

this will be my first year at Mansfield and i cant wait... should be interesting since these shows are so close to the festival... if they do have guest for the festival im sure they will be good ones and hopfully theyll carry over to tweeter:thumbsup

[underdog1924]

Sheesh, they got openers all around us but nothing yet. Galactic till June 30th and the RRFB starts July 10th.

[barefoot]

I went to the show here last year and had a great time. The parking lot is kinda shitty, but the venue itself is really nice. Cant wait.

[SKbabe]

yea!! warwick!!... haha.. are ya going to the ct shows too?!

[AJDMB05]

Nah, I really wish I was, but I'm going to have a hard enough time TicketMaster'ing for Mansfield. Oh well. Maybe I'll see you there. :P

[carlosz1021]

I've never tried to get tickets for DMB at mansfield before through TM. is it really that bad?

[dmb41er]

well too more openers added and still none for us.... hopfully there savin the best for last:thumbsup

[AJDMB05]

It's not really hard but I'm relying on my friend with a slow computer for night 1 and I'm never really sure of myself and I'm putting in for night 2. So yeah.

On another note, openers are all filled except for Tweeter/all August dates.

[AJDMB05]

Well, a couple hours after I say that we get an opener on the par with NERD. *sigh*

[wek24]

not on par.. above par.. great group lots of fun... not even dirrrty south rappers.. like HICK rappers..they from the sticks.. grrrreat opener.. ill be there and ill be happy..

[Rdedeian]

I'll be there both nights of course.

The only time I ever go to this venue cause I just fucking hate the Tweeter Center!

[tdowe99]

How come you hate it? I've only been there twice, and I thought it was cool. I could see from the back section.

[AJDMB05]

*pelvic thrusts*

Night 1 = Section 10, Row L (with 2 friends, so three is tough to get close, but open air isn't bad)

BUT

Night 2 = Section 3, Row V

15th row. Can't get too much closer than that online.

I <3 TM.

[carlosz1021]

thats awesome. I pulled nothing up even close to that

[AJDMB05]

Y'know something, I paid 2.50 for TICKET FAST.

I don't have the tickets yet.

This is neither fast, nor ticket. Much less TicketFast. Last year I had tickets in my hand literally 5 minutes after I bought them. It's been over 5 hours. Anyone else having this problem?

(P.S: I had them sent to a hotmail account. Screwed?)

[greppson]

come on warehouse, HOOK ME UP!

i ordered a single for each night, so hopefully they hook me up with some good seats.:)

[dmb41er]

could anyone thats been to mansfield tell me how close the lawn section is? and if its pretty far back is it easy to buy inside tix from scalpers at the show.... i have lawn for both nights and ive never been to tweeter mass... thanks

[carlosz1021]

i have sat in section 11 row 1 before (which is not under the roof). I thought that wasn't THAT bad.
My guess is that if you are near the front of the lawn, it should not be too bad. just dont get stuck all the way in the back.

[incrediblyevil]

i got section 11 row h, i've only been inside the pavillion so how are the seats in open air?

i did the same thing...and had them sent to a hotmail account....i had 3 orders, and out of the 3 only got an email for one of them so far, and that came like 1 hour after ordering....but today i got 2 more emails saying that i did order tickets and my email w/ the attachment will be coming soon, sooo i'm hoping it does.

by the way, i'm very very excited for these shows, i didn't get to see the band last year, so it's been almost 2 years! ahh...and my seats are in sec 1 for both nights, which i can't complain about...even so, i still hate ticketmaster.

[AJDMB05]

Yeah, I sent an email to customer service yesterday, and they said they'll have them sent out in 24 hours, and to add customersupport@ticketmaster.com to the list of safe email addresses so it doesn't get filtered (Options > Junk Email > Safe List).

*crosses fingers* I really don't want to have to call them and request another email to send the tickets to...

[athenatrojans35]

Hey everybody i have sec.5 row E, does anyone know how close that is to the stage/about how many rows back it is?

I have lawn tickets. My view is going to suck hard, isn't it?

i really have no idea, but something i would keep in mind is that the tweeter center in mansfield is not really near a big city. so its kind of isolated. dunno if many scalpers make their way there.
this is just me speculating. don't hold me to it. i don't have tickets yet. i am def. going to try to get my hands on tickets beforehand.

[RetardedMonkey]

My Seats (Via Ticketmaster):

oh you suck. how the hell did you get such good seats via TM.

[RetardedMonkey]

oh you suck. how the hell did you get such good seats via TM.

I was going for a single ticket each night (and started with the second show first...so I'd have a better ticket the last night). I was pretty happy with what I got. Should be a great two night stand. Last years 2 night stand was one of the best of the summer IMO.

yeah it was. i was there for the first night. or second one. i don't remember. it was the ants opener, spoon, STJL, #41. great concert.

[AJDMB05]

Whoa, get the fuck out of here... haha. Doesn't get much better than that. For the people who haven't been to Tweeter, you won't realize that sections 1 and 3 start with Row F. So Row P is 11th row and row K is SIXTH row. Congrats, those are beyond choice seats. :D

'cept... I assume you mean 7/6 and 7/7, right?

Yeah, they start with row F, but that's still after the pit (not that I'm complaining...I'm extremely happy with my seats:)). And yeah, I meant 7/6, and 7/7. My bad! :p

[dmb41er]

so far since there is no festival yet this will be the countdown to my first show of the summer

cant wait:thumbsup

[warriors1226]

good shit....i should be within the first 10 rows for night 1, who knows about night 2

heyyy.. howd you get your seats already.. mine aren't up on the warehouse yet!!!

[greppson]

he probably bought them through ticketmaster.;)

[tdowe99]

Yes, Adam gets his tickets through TicketBastard, and he gets damn lucky every time. But his luck will run out one day! :)

[AJDMB05]

I rule. What can I say. 25th row or so last year. Side stage about 10 rows back at D&F Providence. 15th row this year, and those seats of 3 aren't bad either, it'll be nice to actually be under the stars.

[dmb41er]

mansfield:cool:

[Rdedeian]

I got a pair of tickets from a buddy of mine who works for a ticket agent.

Well the tickets I got are directly from Clear Channel and are totally different from what the ticketmaster tickets look like.


Does anyone else have these tickets, I got them for friends and don't want them to show up the day of the show to find out the tickets are legit

[Rdedeian]

There white and red with Clear Channel down one of the sides.


I'm just curious to see if anyone else happens to have these tixs

[tdowe99]

Night 1: Section 12, Row F
Night 2: Section 12, Row F

Hmm, did WH get lazy for my seats? :confused:

[carlosz1021]

yeah baby. i just got me some tickets.

[warriors1226]

[FrozenGopher]

Never been to Mansfield but going to the shows in July. Does anyone know how the view is from the outer edges of sections 1 & 3? Hard to tell from the seating chart if you'd have a good view or not. Any help would be appreciated.

[AJDMB05]

After this year I'll be able to write a book on the view from the outer limits of the front-side sections. Last year I sat in Section 3, Row EE, about 22-25 rows back and 2 seats from the outer aisle. The sound was incredible, but the view of the stage was slightly limited. I couldn't see the stage and I couldn't see Butch. This year I'm in the same section, only slightly farther inside, and 10 rows up. I'm assuming the angle to the stage is sharper, and I still won't be able to see much of Boyd's side, since they stack equipment on that side a lot.

[macleodad]

Anywhere down in sections 1-3 is really good. It's a great place to see a show... even the lawn is pretty good. I sat in what they used to call the Gold Circle (which is about the 20th row) back on 8/31/95 and it was amazing. Then I have sat in section 9 and section 13 and the lawn for a bunch plus other bands. All in all, a great place to see a show. The traffic sucks getting out of there though. I suggest bringing a habachi and grilling up some food after the show, because otherwise you end up sitting in your car for well over an hour before you leave the lot.

Have a good time! I'll be there night two!
Andy

[AJDMB05]

Premier parking worked great for me. It's $30, but I was home in an hour and a half from the end of the show, and I live in central Rhode Island. Downside? I had to go to class the next day on nearly no sleep.

[warriors1226]

yeah i hope the view and such will be good in section 9...i have to tape, so hopefully i can move up :)

[j_wyse]

I was there for second night, awsome show! Got just released tickets a week before.
This time I got them thru Clear Channel, TM didn't have 3 together.
Going first night this year, should be warmer than last Sept. Better tailgating,
bringing a guitar this time too!!

It was last year, cant wait for this yr. SPAC is getting hyped up a lot right now, and I dont blame them. Tailgating rocks at the Tweeter Center, and I hope to see ya'll out there :)

[AJDMB05]

I don't know about last year getting the best shows. With a little better placement in the setlist and a little less voice problems from Dave, maybe. You can't ignore some of the earlier two night stands before they stopped playing stuff like YNK, Minarets, Dreaming Tree, Last Stop, etc.

For all intents and purposes... 2 monthish left :D

I am so excited, Columbus next month, Mansfield after that....

[Hench]

Ahh mansfield...never seen dave there, but saw radiohead's opening night there last year on the "lawn" (dirt). Amazing show, but that's neither here nor there. Saw green day there the summer before with seats, and that was a good time too.

Only problem is, I'm in boston without a car. Does anyone know if there's a train/bus/some other form of trans. that goes down to tweeter for shows?

[AJDMB05]

I love seeing this thread bumped. 6 weeks from tomorrow :)

I don't think there's any sort of public transportation that goes to the venue, it's a little remote. The lot is pure hell if you're not fast after the show, so if there was public transportation in and out that would avoid the use of a car, I think more people would use it. The best thing I can suggest is research busses in the area and see which can get you closest to the venue (I know there's hotels in the very immediate area) and just walk from there.

[daveguitar512]

i'm in the same boat as hench. i'm coming from marthas vineyard, ma. i can take the boat either to providence (quonset point) or to oak bluffs, ma. but from there i cant figure out how to get to mansfield. also i'll be staying in mansfield or thereabouts, ive got tickets to both shows. wheres everybody staying?

[Explicitrydes]

Alright I just got the days off from work now so I'm def going to these shows. I've never been to this place before so any suggestions would definitely help. My biggest concerns right now are how is the lawn? Do I really want to go after inside tix? Also how about camping near by? I'd rather not spring for the hotel if I can sleep under the stars somewhere close by. Also how it the partying? Any comments on these or any other subjects would be greatly appreciated.

[AJDMB05]

Personally, I live an hour away and my friends and I are just going to hang out for all of Tuesday/Wednesday and drive up to the shows at night from Rhode Island.

The lawn has been pushed back a lot to accomodate open air seating. So if you're on the lawn, get used to looking at the screens, because the overhang of the pavillion makes it a narrow field of vision to the stage. No idea how the sound is, but the people on the lawn are so chill that it'll possibly make up for the distance to the stage. :thumbsup Massachusetts DMB fans.

Camping, I have no idea, I never really considered Great Woods the camping kind of venue, it's no Deer Creek or Alpine or Gorge.

The lot is awesome, the people are all so great. You have your small share of drunken assholes, but it's a big lot, and when the sun is setting, there's nothing like walking through the lot and hearing all the tunes blast and the grills firing up and OH MY GOD IT HAS TO BE JULY RIGHT NOW.

[ScottieMorra]

Me and my buddy are camping in Foxboro. All of the sites we check in Mansfield are already booked. Apparently we only have a 5 or 10 minute drive (no traffic of course) to the campgrounds, so that doesn't suck. We'll be there bright and early on the 6th to get the party started. :)

you can take the commuter rail down to mansfield. Last year i took the commuter rail, then someone met us there and gave us a ride to the tweeter center (5min ride). This time i am probably just gonna take a cab. should not be more than $10.
hope that helps.

Hi All -
Anyone know the name of the closest hotel to Tweeter -
coming from NY and going to both shows & need a close hotel to stay at =
Anything within walking distance??
Thanks!! :)

[Sniper15]

If i have lawn seats and want a good view how early should i get there?

[Hench]

If i have lawn seats and want a good view how early should i get there?The "lawn" at tweeter is wayyyyy back. When I saw radiohead last summer, I got there 10 minutes before they took the stage, and I got as good a view as I was getting

[Sniper15]

So the lawn really sucks hard?

[tdowe99]

You go to the lawn for the atmosphere, not for the view. You're still going to hear it ok.

[barefoot]

Yea they have another seated area that isnt covered, so its kinda where the lawn should be. Its sold out, so lawn is better than nothing.

[AJDMB05]

5 weeks :D 16 days until the tour starts too. :)

[jdmbellen]

tickets for the seats w/o covering infront of the lawn aren't sold out on ticketmaster.

[Hench]

tickets for the seats w/o covering infront of the lawn aren't sold out on ticketmaster.
That's a bummer, cuz I'm thinking of selling my tix :(

[AJDMB05]

As far as dmband.com knows, both nights are sold out, and ticketmaster has some crappy obstructed open air seats still left, singles only. I don't think you'll have a problem selling tickets, especially as the weeks wear on. You might not get face for them though.

[seekup41nancies]

there were mad people selling tix in the lot last yr, and people were getting to the box office EARLY and getting hooked up...

[dmbfrk]

one month :)

[AJDMB05]

Damn! You beat me to it. I <3 this thread.

Speaking of which but not at all, I saw moe. Friday night in Boston. The hardcore moe. fans said it was average or below average, but I had a fucking blast. If you haven't listened to moe., you should. Their concerts are still reasonably priced; $29.50 + a $8.50 service charge from those money-grubbing bastards at ClearChannel. When the service charge is nearly 30% of the actual ticket price, it's time to start making heads roll.

Irregardless, the shows in Mansfield are the next two for my summer concerts. Really hoping for a bust-out or two.

[barefoot]

I KNOW the Mansfield sets are going to be sick. But Columbus is going to be my next concerts. Those are going to be sweet also.

[stunnersal]

I'm still on the fence about going to Mansfield....Hmmmm.... :confused:

[tdowe99]

Dooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt! :p


But be aware, there was a big "Yankees Suck!" chant last year as we were leaving, so don't wear any NYY apparel (like a passenger of ours did... dumbass) :twak

[Hench]

I'm on the fence too...I have tix, but I'm already going to Chicago and Spac...dunno if I wanna bother with Mansfield so soon after Spac...especially being in the middle of the week and all...just seems like too much of a hassle for what'll prob. be pretty much the same show as Saratoga, only a couple days later. I kind of want to save the money...but I'm not sure.

[molo41]

Another Warwick, resident taking the short little drive to Mansfield. I had a BLAST last year. Seeing how I'm leaving the country in September, my last concert for a couple years. Looking forward to seeing you all there

Haha, the odds would be 4,000 : 1 or so. :)

hahaha i am a red sox fan, and i have gotten to see how rude some sox fans can be. i saw a guy get his ass kicked at a red sox and toronto game cause he was wearing a yankees hat. seriously, some of these people are really really rude. just dont get them started (like by wearing a yankees shirt or something. not wearing for a day won't kill you.....wearing it on the other hand like they said might get you your ass kick)

I go every year to a Fenway series with the Yanks, and i've come close but no fights yet... Im not a jerk when it comes to rooting for the Yanks! :D

[tdowe99]

I went to Game 6 of the ALCS last year in NYC, and I was the only Sox fan anywhere in my section. It was kinda scary. :)

There was a one when I saw Springsteen at Fenway, after the show. Now I love the Sox and all, but sometimes the whole Yankees suck thing can just be a bit obnoxious.

[DnTDrNkBLuWater]

Hey im coming in from CT for both nights, first time here....Where is there a good, close, and resonably cheap place to stay near mansfield, any suggestions??? thanks guys

I am camping so I dont know if you are talking about a hotel. Try Orbitz or cheaphotels.com

[taylorstone]

I am planning on attending both nights although I don't have tickets yet. I am not worried for I know I will find sweet seats.

There are hotels all along RT 140 in Foxboro, MA and Mansfield, MA.

there is a red roof inn, a holiday inn, and I think a days in all about 15 minutes from the venue.

Gee I wonder if we will get a Yankee's suck chant at Mansfield. :lol I am a Mets fan so I like them.
Poor Guy.... :lol

[AJDMB05]

*cough* Under 3 weeks. And the freakin' tour is TOMORROW NIGHT. :D :D :D :D :bounce :bounce

[tdowe99]

Rise from the depths (page 4), oh thread!
Anybody else excited about these new songs?

Ok, my friend and I, as well as some RI buds, are going to be jamming in the parking lot with some cheap-o Yamaha guitars. Any other Ants want to share a beer and relax before the show? We probably won't play much DMB, cuz we'll hear the real thing a few hours later.

[jdmbellen]

damn straight you will get a yankees suck chant :)

[seektwothings]

This will be my first time at the Tweeter. How is the parking lot scene and the atmosphere of the venue compared with Deer Creek(originally from Indy)?

[AJDMB05]

Argh. Well, considering I made this thread and I've seen most of the people around the board who replied, I might as well put this here. I'm not at home, I'm posting from a relative's house, because Ants is unaccessible at home. I can get to everything but the forum all of a sudden, started the morning of the 19th. Stuff just hangs until I get a 404 error. I can occasionally get to a thread, but I can't log in and I can't register something new. It's not a problem with my account, and I can get to every other site I normally can get into.

So yeah, if anyone's got any advice or whatnot, let me know. I emailed Matt and he said it's the Google ads, which it isn't, Nancies has them and I can post there fine.

More or less I'm just checking in to remind everyone that Mansfield is 2 weeks and 2 days away. :D

[carlosz1021]

hello people
i am goign to the first night (taking the commuter rail there and back to boston). I was wondering, does anyone know if cabs usually pass by the highway near the tweeter center. I've been to the tweeter center before to see dave, but had a ride the previous times. The last train leaves from mansfield at 11:55pm and i want to make sure i get there in time. thanks.
carlos

[seekup41nancies]

Traffic is so thick, nothing really passes by, i doubt it but i dont know for sure, good luck and see ya there!

[AJDMB05]

*pssstttt* Guess where we'll be in 2 weeks right now. :)

And guess who got Ants access back... :D

[barefoot]

Cool, Mansfield is going to sneak up on everyone and be the best shows of the tour.

[Razorback]

I've got 2 pavillion tix to the 7/7 show that I'd like to trade for Sox tix on 7/8 or 7/9 if anyone's interested.

[KevinTH5]

hey everybody i just moved to MA from Columbus, OH. I really want to go to these shows but I don't knwo anyone around here really except for my family. My bro isn't into them and his wife would go but it's the middle of the week. Other than that it leaves me to my uncle, aunt, they're kids who are 15, 12 and 10 and my 79 yr. old grandma who I'm living with. So it looks like I'm at a loss. I don't have tickets but plan on scalping. So does anyone live or know of N. Billerica (right by Lowell)? If so I'm looking for some people to hang with on occasion and possibly some people to go to the show with. Thanks!

[jdmbellen]

i wish boston/ma shows got more attention than they do....i'm so excited for these shows its ridiculous. i didn't get to see the band last summer, so its been almost 2 years, it's crazy...i just need these concerts so bad

[Rdedeian]

For 7/7 I'm bringing 4 people from work who never have seen DMB before and its all they have been talking too since April when I first brought up the idea.



The Boston shows I always consider the underdog shows, there never talked about and when they happen everyone is like DAMN!!! Especially after last year's 2 night stint

[Explicitrydes]

Ok so I think I asked this before but with no response. Where is the place to camp in Mansfield? I'm coming from Albany and probably am gonna be by myself. So anyplace that has a party scene would be most helpful. Somebody please give me a hand.

[AJDMB05]

As far as I know, there's no campgrounds in the immediate area. I might be wrong and there might be one 20-30 minutes out of the venue's way, but I can't be sure, I don't even live up there. I might be off base here, but I don't think anyone camps for MA shows.

[firedancer24]

:D Hiya all Mansfield goe'rs..

I'll be there both nights, hopefully meeting up with fellow warehouse'rs.. will be great to meet up with you too. Someone mentioned tying red balloons to the car? Good idea; will look for them. Email @ n2dmb_41@yahoo.com

Coming from Exeter, NH 1st night with hubby staying @ Red Roof, 2nd night bringing 5 friends and coming in limo as no one will want to drive. Gee, why? :) Speaking of limo, anyone ever tailgated out of one? Should be interesting.

Have warehouse tickets 1st night. Hey tdowe99 we are in section 12 too, row F. The 2nd night on the lawn. Chose lawn specifically.. last years group on the lawn at Mansfield rocked. Greatest sets ever! Gotta dance! Had hoped for Warehouse preferred lawn section but no luck. No worries.. have never had a bad spot on the lawn there anyhow.

counting the days..... :p


Attended: 2/11/94 NC, 8/30/96 NC, 9/1/96 NC, 8/29/98 NC, 7/23/02 MA, 9/8/03 MA, 9/9/03 MA

Oh man.. SO PSYCHED :D

A word of advice from shep @ Nancies:
One of the perks of "building yourself an HQ" is that other folks can find you. Helium balloons, a flag, or just a strangely colored tent/tarp is enough to make you "spottable" from farther off. Try to get away from doing the same thing that many other folks do, i.e. "I'll have a red balloon tied to my antenna," mainly because other people usually think of doing the exact same thing. Try something a little more off-the-wall to make yourself easier to spot.

Have a good show. :)

[tdowe99]

Hey tdowe99 we are in section 12 too, row F.

Hell yeah! We'll have to have a little party in the back section. ;)

[KevinTH5]

how is it scalping tickets there? i might have 4 people with me. is it fairly easy to scalp around there? i absolutely need to get tickets since the friends coming with me are coming in from columbus, ohio. i'm sure it's the same with most venues but i just want to be sure.

[firedancer24]

Hey all you Mansfield'ers, so this is what I have found to fly way above me car in the parking lot. (click on the link) 'Proudest Monkey'.. Find him, find me and share a brew. :)

i was wondering the same thing myself. i'll be hopping on the commuter rail from back bay.
i think i'll call the mansfield station to see what it's like. i'm sure, what with the tweeter being right there and all, that there must be some taxis or shuttle or something 'round there.

when i find out, i'll post it.

Anyone going to bring instruments? I'm planning on bringing a guitar and some
hand drums, shakers... Lets jam

[dmuck]

Travelling 10 hours from Canada to catch both nights. Can't wait to hear the new songs. Anyone know of any good post DMB plans either night. Looking forward to doing hardcore tailgaiting. Since we can't bring anything across the border, hopefully we will have no problem finding some music enhancing greenery. Look for the New Brunswick plates if you are in sales.

You are going to love the venue and the tailgating is good because no one bothers you. Great beer selections in the area also, I know they are not as good as Canada :lol

Saw them last year both nights, seeing them this year both nights. Cant wait, driving all the way from Maine to see them for my 20 somethin show. Hopefully will get to see Dave in the golf cart again. I'll have a camera this time dammit.

I'm hoping Dave comes over in the golfcart and plays some guitar, a'la Mraz Gorge 2002 style.

[dabull420]

Just remember there is officially no alcohol to be comsumed in the parking lots (ya a joke) but if they don't see it they can't hassle you. You have to use a cup no open beers! If ya don't look 21 and acting like an idiot security will hassle ya. All in all an awesome time. Still doesn't compare to Buffett at great woods! They let ya start tailgating like at 2 maybe earlier.

[seekup41nancies]

we started tailgating at 1-2 last yr. It was great :)

[AJDMB05]

The only difference is the Premier parking lot, the one that gets let out first at the end of the night. But it's secluded and sort of fenced in by trees. So that's a no-go for the lot scene. You'll know it when you see it, it's generally all up and down the aisles. The real heart of it all is maybe 50 yards away from the entrance, where most people park. The more people parked the more "scene" there is.

And the party, my friend, is everywhere. :multi :multi :multi :multi :multi

Was basically just going to post that, yah you just be careful boozing no matter what age you are.


I got hassled at Great Woods once for drinking Cherry Coke, the state cop thought it was a beer.

[Alix]

Well I would have bought a cheap one, but we needed something nice anyway so might as well just splurge! :) Beats charcoal too (in ease of use)

speaking of lots ... what time do they officially open?

[Metallinut]

Man am I psyched...these'll be my 7th and 8th shows...first time seeing two in a row. Saw '02 and '03 at Tweeter last year. This year I had Sec. 12 for night 2, but got myself moved up to Sec. 1. Not bad at all. Hey, if there's anyone looking for 4 tix together Wednesday night (7/7) [Sec. 12, Row A seats 37-39] I have them on eBay, but if anyone here wants them let me know ASAP and I'll pull them from eBay. Just face and CC.com charges of course. I'll be there bright and early we can just meet up before the show. But if you want them I need to know NOW so I can stop the eBay auction. Would rather see them go to someone here. If you reply tomorrow [Friday, 7/2] email me at Metallinut_one@yahoo.com. But the auction ends tomorrow [I did a 1 day] so hurry hurry hurry.

These shows are gonna be awesome. And I'm tailgating from 1:00 on both nights so craziness ensues. I was thinking of bringing my guitar, but who knows. See you all there!

[Rdedeian]

Just curious I mentioned it earlier in this thread but does anyone have tickets straight from Clear Channel not ticketmaster, there white with Next Ticketing in the background with black lettering.

My buddies from work have these and they still think there counterfeit, they called the Tweeter Center and everything but still think there not real.

Yeah the four I have for sale are Clear Channel. Only weird thing is that out of the four, one of them has a different font than the other three. The printed serial number on the back is consecutive though, so maybe they came out of a different printer or something. Nice hologram though, so they seem official...

Holy Shit Dont Even Scare Me Like That I Have Cc Tix For This Weekend And Mansfield

[AJDMB05]

It's been 2 days since I posted here, and I have to keep up my throne of having the most posts on this thread. Well, that and there's 4 days left. :)

[blondiegirl1012]

I'm beyond excited. :D

[Metallinut]

Hey so I sold the 4 tickets I had (through antsmarching too!). Now I've got something else to sell.

I've got 1 ticket to Premier parking for Tuesday (7/6) that I don't want to use.

I'm planning on tailgating and the ticket says that the lot opens 3 hours before the show (4:00) and I plan on being there before then. Plus I like hanging out in the lot afterwards [don't have work the next day]
But if you're going and don't want to take forever and a day to get out of the parking lot you can have this for $25 [$5 off face]. Give me a call on my cell (JP) (781) 710-5865 if you want it. I won't be able to check the forum or my mail until after the show. If not I'll just see if I can get rid of it in the line of cars coming in...

[watchtowerman10]

Im from coventry RI and ive been to tweeter a lot and i like it...its a great venue and such, but the parking is a hassle....however i am curious...does ne1 kno if it will be taped....im going to both shows and want a copy of it for my friend who is having his first concert at teh first show.....doesn anyone know if it will be taped and where it will be posted thanks a lot. Also, I am not quite sure how to use the FTP server thing so a B&P would be amazing if it gets taped and released....thanks a lot

[warriors1226]

If anyone has an extra pair in sections 1-6 for night 2 (7/7) I'd be happy to buy them, I'm looking to tape the show and right now I'm in section 15 :-( Night 1 I'm section 1 row X, I'd really like to tape this show...drop me an email at brian.furbush@villanova.edu

I do have 1 ticket for sale in Section 4, Row W

Might not be a great seat but its better than Section 15.

Its yours if you want it.

[Alix]

So I'm assuming from what I've seen that the lots open at 1pm? If so that's awesome ... if not could someone give me an idea of when they might open ... thanks! :)
Sooooooo excited!

Every show this summer will be taped. They're usually released within the week after the show on the SHN server here, even though that's running pretty slow now. Just keep checking AM's downloads section, you'll know it when you see it. Don't ask for it until 2 weeks after the show though, that's a rule no one follows.

[perceivereality]

So, I've never been to a DMB show on the East Coast and I'm going to Tweeter for the second night. Anyone open for a new person to come and chill? I know no one who's going to the show...

Cool beans.
Kristel

[Alix]

Getting even closer (I'm also excited that I only have a 4 day week!) :D

So 1pm is the gate open time right?

[PerfectStorm]

Only two more days! I'm so excited!!!! :bounce

this thread may top 200 :lol

[AJDMB05]

Hmmmm. I do believe we're next? :)

[tdowe99]

Hell fucking yeah, Adam.

Ok people, so how are we going to know each other in the lot? Are we doing an inflatable monkey thing? Red balloons?

[bohazo]

I managed to get 14 row from WH for night 2, really looking forward to this but I have to work the next day which is going to be a struggle.

:freak

:lol

:D

[perceivereality]

but I have to work the next day which is going to be a struggle.


Me too. I work at a political science summer camp for high school students in New Haven, CT and the day after night 2 we are going into NYC. Imagine 300 students in NYC for the first time.

[redsoxiluv]

So everyone seems to say parking at the Tweeter Center is a nightmare. How long do you estimate it takes to get out after the show? An hour or so?

Wednesday will be my first official DMB show (saw D&F at the FleetCenter last year, but that doesn't count...)! I've been waiting for this moment for so long...can't believe it's almost here!

[cmdace18]

hey boys and girls .... i just got 16th row for the 2nd night .....holla!

[cmdace18]

I'm comming from Central Connecticut .. any suggestions on roads, and/or where to park - the safest, not looking to party bc im driving 2+ hours ea. way

[carlosz1021]

oh man. so i had tickets lined up, got the tickets in the mail, and they are not what he had promised. I wanted night one (cause i can't make it night 2) and they are night 2 and worse seats. I am so pissed. i am hoping it is all a misunderstanding and he just sent me the wrong tickets. I have been looking forward to this concert like crazy since the dates got announced. Still don't know how i am going to get back from the tweeter to the commuter rail in time to make the last train but i'll cross that bridge when i get there.
the boys have had quite a break, so hopefully they can pull out some awesome songs. either way i am sure it will be great. hopefully see you all there tomorrow!!!

[greppson]

my sig has my seats for both nights. i'll be flying solo for both these shows... driving down from vt both days, then back to nh for the night and an early morning drive to vt and half days of work both days...

tues:
work 8-12
12-2 travel to home in NH and get new driver's license
3-6ish/7ish get to mansfield and park
11-1ish drive back to nh

wed:
6am-8am drive back to vt
8-12pm work
12-maybe 2? take a nap or head to mansfield to beat some traffic(depending on how night 1 was)

[airr233]

Sometimes parking isn't that bad and sometimes it is, if you are in a rush and want to leave in a hurry, you can pay 30 bucks for premier parking and they let these cars out first.

[Alix]

so is the gate open at 1pm or 3pm ... don't want to get there too early ... or too late ... anybody anybody - just and idea would be great ... THAnKS! :)

[tdowe99]

We're getting there at 3ish on Night 1.

[AJDMB05]

How long are you guys going to be tailgating for anyway? I'm probably not going to make it up there until after 6 because my friends aren't as into the whole lot scene like I am.

[MRGreySt.YNK]

That sucks Adam.

[barefoot]

we are leaving around 6 am and should get there around 12. We have to set up our campsite and then probably will mosey down there around 3

[AJDMB05]

That sucks Adam.
Kind of yeah, but I only have a few people to meet. You can only eat burgers and play guitar in the lot for so long before it gets old. ;) Plus none of my friends are interested in the opener, myself included. I can maybe get them to leave earlier.

Psst. I'm going to go all "little kid around Christmas time" on this thread. 30 hours give or take. :)

[perceivereality]

So, I know nothing about Mansfield...I've never been there before and this is only the third or fourth time I've been in the Northeast...Could someone talk to me about the venue and kinda what to expect?

Cool beans.
Kristel

[barefoot]

Expect a great show in a beautiful venue. I am pretty sure you will hear a Yankees suck chant also. This is one of the more underated venues IMO. Luckily I got great seats both nights.

[johndav18]

yeah it is a very nice venue and ya definately can't rule out the yankee's suck chant...

ps yankee's suck :)

[tdowe99]

Indeed they do. :p

[ziggyosk]

yeah it is a very nice venue and ya definately can't rule out the yankee's suck chant...

ps yankee's suck :)
All in favor say aye, "AYE!"

[Alix]

Why do the gates open later for the Tweeter Center than they do for most of the other venues? Is it because of their "strict" alcohol policy?

Guess we'll get there around 2:30-3pm

[redsoxiluv]

yeah it is a very nice venue and ya definately can't rule out the yankee's suck chant...

ps yankee's suck :)
So true...but hopefully no baseball rumor chants at this show. People in my section at D&F started the "we got A-rod" chant, since on 12.16 the deal looked likely, and tricked us into believing we'd missed some breaking trade story...but we all know how that one turned out :mad:

[BustedJeff]

So how's the parking situation at the Tweeter center? Is it somewhat organized, or should I expect waiting 3 hours to get out? Our hotel is only like 2 or 3 miles away.

[bohazo]

So how's the parking situation at the Tweeter center? Is it somewhat organized, or should I expect waiting 3 hours to get out? Our hotel is only like 2 or 3 miles away.

Parking is a mess, plan on waiting for awhile after the show. I live 1.5 hours away and I am not expecting to be home before 2:00 am.

Where are your seats?

[BustedJeff]

Parking is a mess, plan on waiting for awhile after the show. I live 1.5 hours away and I am not expecting to be home before 2:00 am.

I'm at work now, so I honestly don't know where our seats are. They're not lawn, so that's all I was concerned about. No more lawns for me after having to stand next to the peeing girls at Camden last year.

Is the Tweeter Center in the middle of nowhere (like Hershey) or IN the city (like the Meadows)? I'm debating getting a cab there and just walking (if it's in the city).

I still have no clue what to expect in Mansfield. Never been there. City? Town? Ghetto? Big field?

[tdowe99]

Middle of nowhere.

I don't remember how long it took to get out last year, but it wasn't too long. I was home by midnight, and I'm right in Boston.

[BustedJeff]

How about Mansfield itself? Is it a somewhat developed area, or is it a barren village?

I need to plan ahead with bringing food if there are no food establishments nearby.

Mansfield is nice, I would compare it to Saratoga (although not as wealthy). The venue is on a long road like route 50 in Saratoga although a little less busy (at least where we went in last year). The venue is kind of in a wooded area not as much as SPAC but certainly not in the middle of a city like the Meadows. The town is nice, not ghetto at all and provides a nice setting for a venue and is really easy to get to. Last year when I went I was very pleasantly surprised and am happy to be going back. There are however some really obnoxious people there so watch out for that. The tailgating scene is really kind of sad though-especially compared to the Meadows.

The venue itself is kind of odd because they have seats on the "lawn" and the lawn is really small. I thought the accoustics last year were very good as well, especially under the roof.

I would bring food, I don't remeber seeing any type of food establishments in the area but we also didn't look for any.

Sounds good. Thanks for the info.

Good thing I'm fond of microwave soup and raviolli.

Parking is a crapshoot, you could get out early (I live nearly an hour away and I was home around midnight with an end time of 10:45) or you could sit there for an hour. There's premier parking, but it's sort of expensive and not worth it unless you really need to get out of there to get somewhere the following morning.

[BustedJeff]

An hour? That's nothing. At Camden, it took nearly 3 hours to get out.

Isn't premier parking like 15 bucks or something? May be worth it if I'm feeling impatient tomorrow.

[tdowe99]

Just drive semi-agressively and you'll do fine.

premier parking is 30 bucks.

[SWEET_Z]

Took me 1:15 to get out of there last year. I think it's because the far left lot is behind the premier parking area and they keep letting them out and nobody from the back. Pretty crummy set-up they have.

[watchtowerman10]

All I can say is that i think a acapella w/ acoustic guitar sin-a-long should occur in the p-lot on the first night at least....show some nice love to dmb.....singing n shit.....also yankees do suck an amazing amount....aw naw...jeter hurt his chin...now he cant rest a-rod's sack on it....

[johndav18]

remember where u parked i lost my car last year and didn't end up getting out till 1230 :-(

[warriors1226]

I can't wait...I just scored 12th row, possibly 8th row tickets...this is going to fucking ROCK!!

[carlosz1021]

yup. i got screwed over. so now i don't have tickets for tomorrow and have a pair i don't need for wed. i am selling them so if you are interested in a pair they are yours for face (so $114 i think). they are section 8, row L. email me if you are interested at carlosz1021@yahoo.com. I will be there tomorrow (prob scalp tickets) so we can exchange then. thanks. later.

[warriors1226]

what happened with tix? You can def. sell them easily, post on boards, plus there are tons of pairs available right now...

[barefoot]

Alright people I am on my way to Mansfield, have a safe journey all. I am 5th row center tonight so if you see a big ogre dancing all around its me. :)

I've always thought the tailgating was much more fun at Mansfield. People there seem to have an all around good time each year. I go to the meadows each year as well and it's a great time some years but it's almost like some bizarre competition to see who can gain the most party status pre-show instead of people who go to just have fun. Not to mention I feel a lot more at ease leaving my car in any parking lot other than the lots in Hartford.

[greppson]

yeah, crazy 2 days. but when you've wanted to see dmb at mansfield since 99(though they didn't play there 99, 00, or 01... you MAKE it work.:)

[AJDMB05]

:lol :lol.. I came close to sigging that. I can only imagine that, living close to Connecticut. Sounds like (some) Phish fans and their bizarre competition where the more shows you go to the cooler you are because you have more stats.

Seriously, Mansfield is a very cool town. For those of you who don't know what to expect, it's nothing out of the ordinary. I've never been through the main part of town, the ampitheater is basically right off the highway. As said before, the venue is basically self-contained, and removed from the town. You'll see when you get there.

Oh, and we should be there in TEN FUCKIN' HOURS. Now bounce for me, my message board bouncing slaves to show my extreme jubilation!

*raises arms*

You can get a camera in no problem.... My wife always seems to get hers in. Just be careful when taking pitures. The will take your memory card or battery.

First time in Mansfield. Is there a charge for parking?

[cmdace18]

Hey guys - I'll be heading to Mansfield tomrrow from Central Connecticut (cheshire) - I bought the premier parking pass to save me trouble - which is the best way for me to go, considering ill be leaving around 2pm? 84 or 95 up through providence? I'm not worried about parking and leaving, bc I know I'll be all set with that .... thanks and any extra details would be sweet ..


OHhh. .what is the deal with purchasing alcohol with an out of state license? the website says that you have to be 25 or older and have a credit card ... and 21 and older can have a Mass state license .... I'm 23 .. am i screwed or what?
