If I were a betting man, I would bet against it not happening, but would love if it did...

    Re: ***Official Mansfield 2014 Thread***

    How is the pit here specifically and how is the experience in general? I was able to get a single in section 1 row W, which for all the different shows I've been to is still the closest I've been at Great Woods, but I guess I'm getting a little greedy and looking to move even closer. Is it worth my time to keep looking or is the upgrade pretty marginal from where I'll already be sitting? Thanks for any input!

    How is the lawn in Mansfield? I've been to 4 shows there but never on the lawn.

    its ok... it was a lot better before they put the "open air pavilion in"... Im sure it is a lot of fun if you want to roam and experience the show from a bunch of different places... Its not crazy like the Hartford lawn

    I've never had pit for dmb but have for other shows (mayer, blink 182) definitely no where as crazy as Hartford mostly teens asking for you to buy them beers security is tight up there though

    Ate at the warehouse bar and grille in Boston for dinner and brunch this morning. The drinks are all dmb inspired and song titles. Great food.

    I'm heading there on Friday. I heard about it a while ago and was obviously intrigued.

    Outside of the drink names and name of the bar, no other dmb stuff. Not even the music being played. The apps were awesome as was the warehouse burger. For drinks I went with the good good time, say goodbye, crush, warehouse and gravedigger....

    Anyone have two for Mansfield?

    This tour structure has so many pros and cons to it I'm just now fumbling to figure that this show makes the most sense for me.

    With the double set, they must be attempting to start somewhat early right? Given the firm and fabled 11pm Massachusetts curfew?

    I hope so. I've never seen a venue enforce a curfew like Mansfield does. I've seen them pull the plug on artist, as well as law enforcement usher artist off the stage.

    yeah it was. I was not disappointed with any of my drink selections. The bacon vodka in the warehouse (bloody mary) was different though.

    It is pretty bad, but sometimes they let it slide. It was either 2012 or 2010 DMB went about 6-7 minutes over.

    Anyone with Live Nation pit tickets get an email that tickets have been printed and will be shipped via US mail? I got one the other day, but I thought these tickets are will call so I was confused.

    Input requested, please. I have a string going for not-so-great seats at Mansfield. Oh well. I have been given section 5, row Q seats from the WH. Anyone ever been in that area? Decent seats?

    Sections 1-3 and the first few rows of the next tier are good. Sound is pretty decent throughout it just depends on how close you like to be.

    There is a ticket drop every year about a month or so before the show for sections 1 & 3 (i have never seen section 2). You just have to be on top of it. Last year it happened around midnight. If you don't have tickets yet, just wait it out rather than scooping up something you have to get rid of later.

    I got middle of section 2 the day before the show two years ago through a ticket drop.

    I got the same thing about a month out for the same shows. I remember it was N2 for me. There's always at least one ticket drop for Mansfield. Right now I'm near the soundboard but it's always tempting to upgrade.

    I have extra tickets in section 15 Row E, they are some of the best cheap seats at 56 dollars including fees, you would be close to the parking lot to get out quickly. That can be a pain without premium parking. I would need to add on for shipping since ticketmaster is not letting you transfer tickets for the dave mathews show for some reason. Let me know.

    hmmm i thought i was sending a message to a person and it posted publicly. I read now i'm not supposed to charge shipping so I guess I could send it usps or meet the person at the venue if they are super reliable.

    Shore Shot 1 W is quite a nice ticket if you are anywhere near the outside aisle higher number seats. Even if you are all the way to the side it's still decent, obviously a pit ticket or a section 2 ticket is better but how are you going to upgrade without spending a lot of money?

    Thanks for the input. I'm in seat 6. I read that Live Nation has a policy that you can upgrade your seats one time before the show with the cut off being one week before the show. I've been checking off and on hoping something a little better drops. Plus prices normally crater on Stubhub right before the show.

    That would be neat to be able to upgrade. Do you need to do that over the phone rather than by computer. They should do that for pre-sales and public sales since it seems different tickets are allocated for each. Still a nice seat you have. I think it's a safe bet the show sells out by june so only the sellers on stubhub that price too high and are desperate to sell at the last minute so they don't eat the loss will price anywhere near face value on the best seats even a single. Still worth checking 2 or 3 hours before the show if you don't have tickets but then you won't have time to sell the ticket you have.

    I've never tried it myself. This is what I found on their website: "Don't suffer from seat envy. If you see seats you prefer that are the same price or higher for your event, call 800-653-8000 to exchange the ones you have and just pay the difference, if any. Tickets bought at a Ticketmaster retail location must be exchanged at the same location. One exchange per person, per event.

    We can't refund or exchange tickets for events that are less than 7 days away, and we can't refund or exchange resale ticket purchases for TM+ events.

    Some non-participating venues (and artists, teams, etc.) have a "no refunds or exchanges" policy. But if the event is close and you can't make it, we'll do everything we can to help."

    Interesting, Thanks. I wonder if it would work in a high demand period like at 10:01 the day they go onsale though before someone else scoops them up.
