[greppson]

i'm a jan 99 member and still haven't gotten seats as good as any of those.:(

[Rob D]

[unccrombie]

should've taken up the offer when i made it a few months ago...
what kinda offer was that? sweet-ba-jee-beez

[greppson]

well, i thought i would do better than what i did. and being a second month member, i thought they would work out better for mansfield at least.

[Rob D]

^^no worries. maybe next tour...

[Crumbo]

^^no worries. maybe next tour...

are both of your chicago tix spoken for?

[Rob D]

all of them are spoken for, but i'm willing to work some deals w/ my extra gorge tickets to get a decent pair of night 3's.

[greppson]

^^no worries. maybe next tour...
just don't order tickets for shows i am going to! :lol

[Crumbo]

[Rob D]

Rob, what are your night 2s for the Gorge?

[raven rr]

Oh Rob my sister thanks you too! I am on the phone with her and she is flipping out!

now that i know how great my seats are for blossom, i don't think i want to go with the girl i was originally going to take. she's not as much of a dmb fan as some of my other friends. she is kind of a sloot though. dilemma dilemma dilemma!!!

EDIT: i have no idea how the quote got in my reply.

:goat

[Mickey Carson]

I definitely need to buy a time machine so I can go back to December '98 and buy 3 memberships :)

:lol My friends and I say sloot too! How funny! I like your little avatar phrase too. Rob D DOES = greatness :thumbsup. Take someone who will appreciate the good seats for sure.

[raven rr]

what i need to do is find a sloot who will appreciate the great seats. then appreciate me taking her! :) :) :)

[JanelleM]

Exactly. You don't want to lose the slooty part, just gain an appreciation for the music part. Tell you what, being the nice girl that I am...I'll save you the trouble and be your date for the show.

[raven rr]

:bounce
that would work out nicely! you'd appreciate the good seats, you're going into the show knowing what you have to do after the show :evil , and you're hot!
sounds like a good deal to me!

[Rob D]

whoa, whoa, whoa...i'm not taking sloppy seconds and i believe blossom is before gorge....you'll have to wait til winter tour

[raven rr]

whoa, whoa, whoa...i'm not taking sloppy seconds and i believe blossom is before gorge....you'll have to wait til winter tour

she's worth waiting for..... but i don't think it counts as sloppy seconds if there's a 2 month gap inbetween. then again i don't know the rules.

[JanelleM]

Hahahaha you guys crack me up. Yeah what are the rules? :lol

Well I owe Rob big time so you might have to wait, Rich ;)

[raven rr]

Hahahaha you guys crack me up. Yeah what are the rules? :lol

Well I owe Rob big time so you might have to wait, Rich ;)

i'll take the Christmas time seconds..... i'll just need Rob to hook me up with greats seats again so i have a reason for you to let me get those seconds:) :p

[JanelleM]

i'll take the Christmas time seconds..... i'll just need Rob to hook me up with greats seats again so i have a reason for you to let me get those seconds:) :p
See how it all works out? Then everybody is happy ;)

[unccrombie]

[raven rr]

:thumbsup

so rob got you all tickets? aren't you all lucky


we sure are!

[JanelleM]

Now that our little transaction is finished thanks again sweetie. I appreciate what you did for me...I have never had good seats to a show and it never bothered me. I love going for the atmosphere and the music and the friends, but this time will be special thanks to you :)

[JanelleM]

Still love you Rob...:) Let me know what I can do.

[ModestMouse2003]

I don't even know this dude and he sounds like the shiznit. hhmmm, maube some time in the future, i'll be able to work out a stellar trade with him.

edit: what are you looking to trade for those night 1's? just curious

[Rob D]

talking about gorge?

[bbrianblaze]

*repeating my praise publicly...*

:thumbsup to Rob!!!

[BrahmaBull]

Who is Rob D?

[greppson]

since the thread keeps getting topped: he's one of the many that used their unused requests to help 1st and 2nd year warehouse members with good tickets, thus screwing older 5th ad 6th year members by moving the over, back, to worse seats for any show he isn't attending.

granted the warehouse says nothing against doing this, about getting tickets for people other than yourself--but i don't think most people do it, because there is a chance of getting will called and then only the member who ordered the tickets can pick them up. i understand wanting to help people out, but screwing over hundreds of people by having their seats altered so that someone else can sit in your seats sucks. i've paid my goddamn dues, now i want my goddamned good seats! :violent (for comparison, i joined jan. 13, 1999, roughly a month and a half after the warehouse opened i think, and i'e sat within the first 10 rows once out of 27 shows).

edit: i'm sure rob is a nice guy, never had a problem with him at all. it just sucks, you know? but taking the "i don't care about you, i'm in this for me and i'll do whatever i damn well please attitude" sucks.

[FrankTheTank]

all you guys that got willcalled for rob's requests, yeah just give me your tickets. rob knows what the deal is. 12.6.79. REMOVED

(Though everyones opinion would change too if I was on the other end, but the majority are not. The warehouse has implemented ways for everyone to get a chance to get good seats. No reason to do the warehouses job. Though they could do it better.)

Helping out six other people, trusting them with money, getting the tickets, shipping, keeping in touch with all of us to make sure it's still on is hardly just thinking about himself. He is not gaining anything by doing this.

[BustedJeff]

Who is Rob D?

Good question.

[greppson]

well that is what he said a couple weeks ago in a post was he was going to do whatever he wanted. i never said he was making money or getting anything out of it, i was simply stating he FUCKED OVER other people who have paid their dues in the WH and only ordered tickets for the shows THEY were actually going to.

I understand...and if I was on the other end I am sure I would be pissy. Let me just state for the record that I have sat lawn every DMB show I have gone to so this is a one time deal for me.

Jason...love ya and I am still buying you many beers at Gorge!! Hey did we get campsites booked yet??

[greppson]

you know, if there was a way for it not to screw over people that have paid their time and dues, i would be for it. but the WH has never said anything against it. so, time will tell what they decide to do.:)

haha, just don't get me drunk and take advantage of me. i'm fragile. :lol

i think we are still waiting for getty's to open up... should be in the next week or so though.:)

edit: see you at the gorge, grep ;)

Seriously though Rob is a fun as hell to hang out with at the shows...free suckers (I believe which was started by his good friend), and Dave is always looking and pointing at him at the shows. And usually when he request a song it happens.

Here is a pic of Rob http://bradperkins.typepad.com/photos/dmb/img_0669jpg.jpg with the gang after the Raleigh show. He can tell which one he is if he so inclines.

Look forward to seeing you at this years daddy.

Rob D gets two thumbs up. if i had three thumbs, he'd get three thumbs up!

[JanelleM]

And he's hot too :thumbsup

[raven rr]

just thought i'd top this so all you lucky lottery winners for tampa, chicago, hartford and mansfield can show some love for the notorious R.O.B. D.

[JanelleM]

Yes I am a little scared of the will call situation, but we'll work it out :)

[bbrianblaze]

Rob,
any more info on when the tix should show up in our WH ticket status (for those who were able to work out a "transfer")...??
:D

[raven rr]

i emailed WH and asked them. they said... i'll copy & paste it from the email....

"I haven't heard from Rob yet about his name changes. Even when the name is changed it will not show up on your ticket status page.''

[bbrianblaze]

Whoa, really?!

Ok.

That'll stink... just sitting around waiting for the tix to hopefully be included with any others.... :rolleyes:

[raven rr]

the tix won't be sent with your others. they will be waiting for you at will call.

[bbrianblaze]

:BANG Oh :BANG really. :BANG




So since Rob got will call, any tix he transfered are will call too?!
Kinda stinks!!! :rolleyes:

[JanelleM]

I am pretty sure he is doing the transfer this week...I might be in trouble :(

[raven rr]

:BANG Oh :BANG really. :BANG




So since Rob got will call, any tix he transfered are will call too?!
Kinda stinks!!! :rolleyes:


:ugh:

you're getting AWESOME seats! i think it's worth taking a whole 50 seconds to show someone your ID and have them hand you the tix.

[bbrianblaze]

:ugh:

you're getting AWESOME seats! i think it's worth taking a whole 50 seconds to show someone your ID and have them hand you the tix.


No no no... don't get me wrong... I still GREATLY "appreciate" Rob and it's NOT the time spent at will call... it's the 'waiting until that night to see them in my hands that just stinks a little'.

I am hoping there is some email confirm Rob can send us in case we get BS at will call....

:thumbsup

[Rob D]

i'll do my best...the only thing i can tell you guys is that once i do the transfers, you can call the wh and have them confirm that they are in your name. BUT...i may have worked something out that this all won't matter at all and i'll be mailing you your tickets. we'll see how it goes...

[JanelleM]

Well all is well again and I am very happy knowing I will be sitting second row this year for the first time for sure. Thanks again to Rob, my love, and to Matt who is helping me the rest of the way. See you at the shows!

[raven rr]

i think janelle should use her 5000th post on the Rob D thread

[JanelleM]

Oh fuck my 5000th post!!??!! I forgot and used is somwhere else. Shit, where was it???

[Rob D]

transfers are done. i will be emailing you guys this afternoon once wh confirms that they are completed in their system. i give all the details then.

[bbrianblaze]

I was just gonna hunt this thread down and there it was on page 2... :ugh:

Ok so WHERE is all the love for Rob D. now that people are using the tickets he arranged?! Has anyone had any problems at Will Call?! I plan to come back here to share MANY thanks with Rob after this weekend (WPB)!!!

[Rob D]

we've had no id problems thus far. it basically goes like this:

give id at warehouse will call window
they call over an employee of the venue
they escort you inside the gate, tear or scan your ticket there and then you're free to go. you'll all be money. money, mikey, money.

Really?! Why? Is will call always an escort in??

[raven rr]

Rob D
i was having some pretty nasty cell phone problems yesterday (i have an alltel phone, in alltel pavilion and i couldn't get a damn signal).... i wish we could have met up with you. we walked over to G5 and looked around like a couple of lost drunks, then i tried calling a few times but the calls kept dropping. we ended up going in by 7 to see the opening act. i wish we didn't cus i wasn't impressed at all. but holy fucking 41!!!!!
... and i must say that raleigh has a surplus of gorgeous women!!! my LORD! i kinda wish i was still moving there now!
we decided to drive the 10 hours home after the show instead of staying down there.... i just got in and i'm exhausted!
maybe i'll make my way out to the gorge... i'll buy ya a beer there!

[ddale]

Really?! Why? Is will call always an escort in??
They have been doing that this year with the will-called tickets.

[Rob D]

They have been doing that this year with the will-called tickets.
only warehouse will calls. so you don't turn around and sell them right there. normal will call through ticketmaster doesn't get you escorted in...

[wolfdisney]

Wow Rob your the man for doing that.
Maybe next tour I can get in on it? ;) :D

[ddale]

only warehouse will calls. so you don't turn around and sell them right there. normal will call through ticketmaster doesn't get you escorted in...Right. Thats what I meant.

[ddale]

Wow Rob your the man for doing that.
Maybe next tour I can get in on it? ;) :D
Won't be as easy next year. I spoke with the WH about a month ago and they said they are not going to allow ticket transfers. So you either use your tickets or give them back...if you are will-called.

[wolfdisney]

Bummer :(

[Rob D]

i've already decided not to do any trades/transfers in the future. sorry.

[Pistons87]

Man I wish I would have had my eyes open and taken advantage of this offer. I am going to the cinci show and had to work so unbeleivably hard just to get the last row in the pavillion. Ahhh well at least I am going.. I just can't even imagine what it would be like to see the music being played from good seats. I can only imagine. Hopefully the day will come tho. This band is hobby and my life. Ahh well. Take care everyone!

[bbrianblaze]

i've already decided not to do any trades/transfers in the future. sorry.


Sad. sad. news.




(but I completely understand after what you went through this year...)

I'm just a bit spoiled this summer. All 4 shows essentially are/were lower pav!! And I was NEVER lower pav for a DMB show before (I was lower for a D&T).
:rolleyes:

[bbrianblaze]

Holy un-freaking-believable seats, Batman!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ROB D.!!!

2nd row... 20 or so feet from the band... WPB, N1... :bounce

Just wanted to top this to let Rob know all of his efforts/generosity were extremely appreciated!!!
