    Yeah that's the same picture that was on the bands website two days ago and was taken down quickly. Nothing is official until the band puts them back up but again I would bank on all of those being true. Scranton facebook just posted the same picture that has been floating around here for days.

    Exactly why I won't be at Camden, going to PNC and Bethel instead.

    I always get seats with the worst of the Camden douchetards, so skipping it this year.

    Agreed...I've seen every DMB @ Camden show since 2002, but I'll surely be skipping that shit hole this year (I even live 10 minutes away in Cherry Hill). I'll be traveling and going to a place with a much better crowd for sure.

    I advise ya'll to stay away and do the same!

    camden last year may have been my worst concert experience ever...it was so bad my wife said she's never going to a dmb concert again

    -traffic getting in was awful as usual
    -we parked in the lot next to the camden lot...I'm 29, my wife is 27...we weren't allowed to leave the parking lot...Cops set up extra fencing and had German Sheps...when I nicely explained to a cop that I'm 29, not 17, and my friends that were following us had to turn right while we turned left and they are in he next lot, the Cop literally told me to back the fuck up or I could get arrested
    -Cops stalked up and down the lot arresting kids and kicking people out
    -when we were finally allowed to leave the lot, it caused a traffic jam getting in, just a flood of people. I've never gone into a show and couldnt move at the turnstyles..I'm not claustrophobic but I was feeling it a bit
    -and of course, the 50 yr old douche behind us in the stands pees in his cup, then proceeds to spill it

    Camden is easily the worst venue, bu unfortunately its the closest 2 nighter

    Re: **Official Camden 2013 Thread**

    Camden is my home venue and I must say I love the atmosphere there. Maybe it's because I'm from the area and am used to those types of crowds at pretty much any sporting event in Philly. I'm interested to see how this year's shows being on a weekend affects the crowd. I've always been convinced that there are many more young kids on the lawn just there to get trashed when the shows are during the week because they don't have school or anything else going on in the summer. I know that the hardcore fans will go any night of the week but I also think that weeknight shows may deter some of those more casual adult fans. Being a weekend this year, I'm curious to see if the crowd is older due to the fact that they plan ahead and get tickets because they actually want to watch the show. I feel that many of the younger kids snatch up tickets at the last minute because they find out all of their friends are going and it's just an excuse to party - this year there may not be as many tickets left as we get closer to the shows since it's on a weekend. Just a thought.

    On another note, I think these are going to be the only shows I can make it to this summer so let's pray for some killer setlists!!

    Never been to Camden, but I have a bunch of friends I've just met that live around there that want me to come. If I don't get seats, I will know I will leave the show angry because the crowd will piss me off and inevitably the set will be crappy.... is it worth it to gamble and try to get seats for N2?

    Yes, definitely. Camden N2 is usually pretty solid and I would recommend trying to get seats. I usually go lawn N1, seats N2.

    they were forced to be like this n2 last year because on n1 there were so many people there to just tailgate and hang out that the lots looked like a riot zone with all the broken glass everywhere and people throwing things and whatnot...always seem to be good shows here but not the greatest place for a tailgate, which for me is just fine

    Camden last summer was my worst DMB experience ever. A group of 40 something Guidos (I'm 40 so not knocking the old folks, just wanted to explain these weren't teenagers or drunk fratbros) spent the night screaming Mets Suck, throwing popcorn at the crowd, and their sisterwhore Gina kept falling on people in front of her, including me, and yelling how drunk she was. Hope no one ever has to sit near such assholes at a show. This is not my first irritation with the Camden crowd, so I'm done with that place.

    I went to N2 last year and agree the lot was a bit crappy so long as you were already in it and not planning to go anywhere else. I had a friend coming over on the ferry while three of us were already on lot. I poured myself a solo up of beer and made the trek to the ferry since it was easier than telling her how to find us. I'm walking along the river when I come up on two cops standing at their car. They ask me what's in the cup then tell me to throw it out. I find my friend and they won't let us go back to the lot. Tried multiple ways to get into the lot but the cops weren't letting anyone in. Ended up drinking tequila on the side of the road before going in anyway.

    She said other people were shouting "Can't get in the lot! Party's Over." I think the cops didn't want the lot scene to get out of hand with people coming over on the ferry just to party. If we came in in a vehicle and didn't leave to go to another lot you were good.

    Last year was just stupid in the Campbell's lot. Talking with cops there, they say kids were throwing bottles at them which is why they put the lot on lockdown. Once I got back in to just drink and tailgate with friends it was fine. Like a previous poster said. Only way in was in a vehicle. I had to try 5 or 6 cops before one would listen to reason. Didn't realize what was going on and as soon as I parked I b lined it for the closest portopot. Oh well. No more all day tailgate at camden for me. Get there after 6 and park right next to the venue. Cheers

    I like Camden. Haven't had one bad experience there. But I always avoid the shit lots. So that is probably why.-
