    We will be in Des Moines early walking around bar hopping before the show. There are six of us in my group going so we could meet up at some point.

    does anybody know, with this being an arena show with GA floor tickets, are there rows of chairs lined up or is it truly a wide open GA floor?

    I moved recently, but last I heard they had UberX and UberXL. Can be a little inconsistent getting one at 2am, but still doable.

    I'm not sure if anyone is looking to move to the floor, but I have two floor tickets that i may be willing to trade for some good reserved. If not no big deal, my old legs will make it though the whole show.

    Why you contact the venue, can you find out where the WH entrance will be.

    Thanks!

    Driving in from central Illinois and excited for the show. Any good recommendations for microbreweries in the area?

    Raccoon River Brewery and Court Avenue Brewery are probably the two closest things you'll find downtown for Microbreweries.

    Exile Brewery was just recently established, but I enjoy their beer. It's not super close to the venue but it's still downtown.

    Is anyone actually planning a meet up before the show? I'll be with a group staying at the embassy suites. Also, if anyone is looking for discounted rates at Hilton hotels I can help.

    Tickets just came! Getting real excited for this show.

    I was planning on a bar or two before the show. Quick google and I found a nice sports bar about 3 blocks away from the arena. It's called Johnny's Hall of Fame.

    Would you mind giving everyone some bar recommendations around the venue? Or any other locals / natives have some good recommendations?

    By the way your tickets came last week!

    Lots of bars to check out on Court Ave. Something for everyone.

    The tailgate sounds like something I may check out. If the drinks are going to be stadium price at the tailgate however I may just opt for a bar nearby.

    Good morning everyone. Just got some bad news and hoping someone can help me out. I live in Chicago now and a big work meeting just came up and I won't be able to make this one anymore (luckily still have Alpine).

    I bought 1 floor online and it is will call only. Anyone know of anyway I can get this without being there in person? I don't want to see the ticket just go to waste. Any help is appreciated.

    I used to work at the box office. We would handle these situations on an event to event basis. Ed Sheeran for example was no name changes and original credit card must be present. Period.

    My best advice would be just to give the box office a call soon with a new name and they may be able to print it, write a different name on the envelope, and that's it.

    Concerts are where the policies get inconsistent so I can't make promises that they will actually do anything about it.

    Is it a WH ticket? Call them. Otherwise call the office and I'm sure you can just change the will call name. Things like this happen.

    Honestly, most of the staff probalby won't know until the day of. The lobby is on the south end of the arena so that's where I will check first.

    I used to drive for them part time and they always send out email when there is a big name at Wells Fargo. Im sure they will do the same for this. Depending on where you are staying (downtown or not) most everything will be within walking distance...

    Raccoon River Brewery is now closed. It was one of the best though! I would recommend Court Avenue Brew. If its not you thing, at least your on Court Avenue with many other options!
