My question is... is it worth it for me to join the warehouse to get awesome seats to this show or would I be better off waiting for them to go on sale to the general public? How many tickets can I purchase if I do become a member? I've searched around but seem to get mixed answers. TIA!!!
Being in the warehouse does not guarantee good seats...or seats at all. It's a lottery system (warehouse membership seniority plays into this lottery sometimes). # of tickets varies from year to year. It used to be 2 per a show, but it's increased to 4. Is it worth it? Everyone will give you a different answer. I've been a member for a while and I think yes. But I also got my best seats last year through live nation and then sold my Warehouse pair. Kind of a crap shoot sometimes.

I'm looking forward to seeing the band back in Maine.

    I would join warehouse if I were you.

    You are pretty much guaranteed seats - I have never not gotten them - and you'll know by the 7th of Feb. what you have so you could always just buy more/different seats when they go on sale to the public.

    Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the premium packages aren't offered to the public.


    Not sure selling Warehouse tickets is allowed though...


    Have fun!

    You can sell Warehouse tickets for face value only.

    The Charles Inn is located right down town. Next to a bunch of great pubs. Ipanema's is next door which is a great place and Paddy Murphy's is one of my favorites, which is right across the street. They both usually have local musicians on the weekends. One of my favorites is Chris Ross... hopefully some of you can check him out while you're there
    I've never actually stayed at the Charles but it's a great location!

    Great location but the hotel itself is pretty poor. Think 2-3 star joint.

    Fireside Inn is a bit better. There isn't much else close by (walking distance) besides the casino hotel.

    Saw Phish at this venue this past summer and it was a pretty great little spot. Everything is close by - lots of great little pubs and a great atmosphere around the town.

    Awesome to have some great acts coming closer to the Maritimes.

    For anyone who is not planning on partying too hard, last summer I had a hotel out by Bangor Mall that was pretty cheap, drove into downtown and parked on the opposite side of town as the venue (an easy 10-15 minute walk). This was great post-show as I was able to walk to my vehicle and was back in my hotel room 20 minutes after the show was over. (though, if I were to do it again I would make sure that I didn't have a big drive planned the next morning so that I could take advantage of the post-show pub scene)

    Just wanted to throw this out there. If anyone has any questions about the venue or Bangor feel free to PM me. I work for the promoter/venue and would be glad to help out if you need anything.
    Looking forward to a great show!

    I'm a Maine girl - (from The County) and an Army wife. We are stationed in New York at West Point now. We flew to Alpine last year and saw Bethel, too. I CANNOT wait for this Bangor show (we are driving 8 hours to get there for it)! We are staying at the Casino hotel there (for two nights, so we can hit the poker tables). We fly to Washington state for all the Gorge shows, too!

    This show is going to be great - what's better than seeing DMB in the great State of Maine?!

    I haven't seen another Fire Dancer sticker in Fredericton other than mine! I'll be on the lookout now though

    I'll be there in Bangor FORSUREEE, my eyes popped out of my head when the tour dates were leaked and saw Bangor there...what an awesome surprise. I think they will do well there at that venue and with doing Mansfield the next day. I just put in for 2 pit tickets through the Warehouse and debating on what to do for Mansfield.

    Lets keep this thread going guys See ya there!

    I'm a native Mainer, but not super familiar with the Bangor area. Any suggestions on top lake/pond areas around here to rent a house/camp? I was thinking Belgrade would be a fun spot to rent a lake house for this weekend, but it's a bit of a hike from the venue.

    Let me know if you have any other solid recco's - looking forward to finally seeing Dave in Vacationland!

    Keep an eye out for a black Honda CRV with 5 DMB stickers (3 fire dancers) in Fredericton, thats me. Also have a red fire dancer on my backpack.
    I was planning another lengthy trip, thinking SPAC this year but this great venue came up, only 3-4hrs away. WOW, thank you DMB.
    Hoping for PIT tickets too. Yippee
    I will be taking at least 5 DMB virgins this year. I usually only get one newbie accompanying me per year.
    Last year flew out of Bangor to Philly for the Camden show. This year my Philly friend is flying into Bangor.
    Yipee

    Very excited I won't need to leave Maine for the first time - wasn't living here in 96 when they came to Portland. I'm thinking warehouse requests will be lower for this show so I better get my pit!

    The sea dog is the brewery right around the corner from the show. There are a bunch of great bars down town too.

    Me too. I haven't been up to this venue before. It seems like the casino is close to the venue. Is it?

    The Casino and the Fireside inn are right beside it, there is a local pizza place on the corner and a great bar called the Pour house right near too, we have had a blast a few different times on this little stretch of road.

    If any New Brunswickers want to car pool I might be down with that. The show is too far away time wise to plan anything yet but always an option (I'm in the Moncton area)

    Since so many eastern Canadians are coming to this show...on the off chance that one in particular will see this thread.
    In 2006, a friend and I went to a show in Toronto. Leaving the venue, we gave a guy and his parents from eastern Canada a ride back to their hotel. They had gotten stuck - no taxis. I only remember that they had a camp on a lake in Fort Kent where my friends family also had a camp. I don't remember your name or where you were actually from, just wondering if this fellow fan is still around.

    It's been a while since I've been on this board... We're so excited too that we won't have to travel too far to see a show, although we are still going to travel to Mansfield the next day. Just hoping to get the time off!

    We went to see Ray Lamontagne/Brandie Carlyle a few years back at this venue and stayed at the Casino, it was great experience all around! Didn't have to pay any additional parking and it was just 5 minutes walk to the venue. One suggestion I would make would be to bring a sweater to the venue because it being close to the water, it got cool as soon as the sun went down. Thankfully a staff member at the gate let my fiance out and back in the venue so he could go and get us jackets at the hotel. We were very lucky!

    Looking forward to meeting some of you there!
