This too

DMB is such a popular and hard to get ticket I bet a lot go to season ticket holders

Most venues have live nation vip tickets. You have to get them through a live nation rep

That's also where you get the private box seats from.

For those who were worried, I told you it would be up there.

Parking built into the price of the ticket. If you look at the prices they say 81 and we know the price is 85.

Just pulled 4 RTC row X in the citi presale. First time I was able to get 4 in single letters through the presale so pretty pumped about that.

[AllifromOhio]

Nothing in the presale.

[TMoore4075]

This system is getting more and more fucked up man.

[MidwestGirl]

Husband pulled row Y and row Z in RTC 5

[asamouel]

Pulled 4 in row I at 10:20. Just canceled the 4 I had in row X so go get them if you need them.

[MidwestGirl]

My husband is STILL pulling Row Y if anyone is looking for single letter.

He already bought a pair so we've reached the ticket limit for our household.

Maybe someone else can help?

[MidwestGirl]

They are still coming up... Row Y

[Cobo]

Someone please help!

[TMoore4075]

No Citi Card here bud, or I would. Sorry.

[Cobo]

I know you would, thanks Tim.

[Cobo]

I've checked! Ally from Ohio is on this for me. Faith will be rewarded !

[AllifromOhio]

Still trying. I pulled a pair for Cobo but we didn't make up our minds fast enough and they timed out and aren't available now.

That's right.. which makes me wonder why I always see people buying parking passes for the show when we don't pay any extra at the gate to get in. I had the VIP package once and I don't remember any special magical lot that got me out of there any quicker.

The VIP lot is up by the box office and unless you are out before the crowd, it doesn't matter. The only "benefit" of the VIP lot is close to the entrance. But if you are in the front half of the pavilion, it'll take you forever to get out of there anyways. The only way to beat the crowds out of the lots is to leave before the show is over. I left during Shake Me last year and still had to wait a little in the lots but not too bad.

[galgould]

Yea same here. I start walking during the first song of the encore (unless it's amazing) and still end up waiting a bit.


Well my luck was awful this year... First time in 6 years I've been completely denied from the warehouse (priority selection; only show I requested); I don't have a Citi card; and my only class on Friday is from 12:00-1:30pm lol

I don't think I've never seen tickets for ANY show go on sale at noon, it's usually 10am. Looks like I might have to rely on the boards for the first time ever

[TMoore4075]

Yeah 12 sounded new to me. I remember when it used to be Saturday and not Friday.

[Cobo]

Alli was extremely generous in trying to help me but it didn't work out. Going forward, if you guys see some good pairs pop up, let me know.

As for getting out of the venue, it has NEVER been an issue for me and we've stayed until the last note a couple times. I think it has to do with where you park more than anything. We go by the first row in the island and position ourselves for an easy out. If you're on the grassy knoll, forget about it.

I'm glad I've gotten really good at picking out songs before they are played. When Dave busted out the 12 string in 2014 we knew Grey Street was coming so we high tailed it out of there. Same thing in 2015 when we saw Tim grab the flying V, we knew Shake Me was coming. Very speedy exists those years!

[MW104]

Still ISO 1 pit... 2 ideal, but 1 will suffice.

Will pay for premium wh pkg if someone decides they can no longer absorb that cost.

I can also offer Poster Framing Services to sweeten any deal.

I remember that too, and employees would pull tickets for themselves before they would let us in.

[tazdmb]

I know someone with extra DTE pits, but they want SPAC lowers in return. They are not selling the extras.
