Premium Tickets for Bend, OR show

This is the reply that I got from the Warehouse when I asked if there would be a dedicated, roped off section for premium ticket holders for the Bend, OR GA show. I assumed incorrectly that for my extra money it would get me a roped off/barrier/gated standing section for premium ticket holders closer to the stage. If this was a reserved, seating show, I would assume I would have pretty decent seats for the extra money. For this GA show, now I have to stand in line with all the other Warehouse members to get close up to the stage and I just paid extra money for a poster and camel back! I am assuming that everyone that has premium tickets for the Berkley shows are in the same situation as this is a GA show too. I wish the Warehouse would have posted that there was NO plan to have a dedicated viewing area for premium ticket holders for the GA shows; that it was merchandise only that you were getting for the extra money. The main reason most of us buy premium tickets is to get closer to the stage, not for concert merchandise.

We are sorry that you feel misled. We stated the following about the Bend, OR Premium Ticket Packages in the Event Listing on the Tour Dates page.

Each package includes:
One Premium Reserved Seat or General Admission Standing Ticket
Early entry into the venue through a dedicated Warehouse line (subject to venue restrictions)
One exclusive merchandise item
One exclusive, numbered screen printed show poster
One collectible souvenir Premium laminate
Onsite Concierge / gift pickup
**Minimum/Maximum purchase 2 packages per event**

We would have stated that there was a designated viewing area in the event listing if that was the plan. Members with Warehouse GA tickets will be able to enter prior to the general public just prior to door time to secure a closer viewing spot.

    i get where you're coming from...but there's no special GA section for WH members at any venue, so technically you have to stand in line at every other venue to get "close to the stage"

    so I don't think they're in the wrong for not doing one at bend

    why did you assume there would be a roped off area?

    Sounds like they are treating Bend just like an "All Pit" event. Premium Ticket Package GA Pit plus all the other items. No reserved spot in pit, you just fight it out with everyone else. You do get the early entry though.

    Its certainly not like the Premium Ticket Package Reserved pavilion seating.
