    i'm not too familiar with the area, either
    debating on whether or not i should get a hotel or try and camp.

    either way, it's about an hour away from acadia/bar harbor (which is so so beautiful).. definitely would like to go there on saturday!

    Thinking about going to this show.

    Went to Maine for a week just after Labor Day this past year. Fell in love with it. Acadia is so beautiful. You need to spend atleast 1 solid day there (which we did but wished we had 3-4 days to check it out). Stopped in Bangor on our way up to the lakes region and checked out the giant Paul Bunyan statue

    I'll be there! I'm planning on making the slight trek to Bangor with friends. We're pretty excited that the band will be making a stop in the state.

    I'm so excited to finally be able to see DMB in my state! To all of you considering make the trip... There's no real great camping venues in Bangor. I recommend booking a room now. Prices are reasonable but its summer in Maine so things fill up fast.

    The waterfront is within walking distance to several great restaurants and bars. As for the venue, think of like a Gorge floor seat feel (without the incredible view).

    Hotel room already booked! Being from Fredericton, NB - I must say how awesome it will be not to have to drive 10+ hours to see DMB. This Bangor venue is working out quite nicely for us here in the Maritimes...last year it was Phish, this year DMB...I love it!

    yeah i think a bangor hotel sounds like the best option. you've been to the venue before, i assume?

    Looking forward to the show in Bangor. We usually head to Maine every summer for vacation anyway and Bangor is a great stop. Camping isn't the best in the area but hotels can be found pretty cheap if you're not too concerned about lots of extras. We're planning to go to the Bangor show and then do Mansfield the next day. It's definitely a great addition to the tour - making it easier for Atlantic Canadians to see DMB.

    My friend and I are going to do the same-see them in bangor and then drive down to Mansfield. I think there will be a caravan of fans doing this. Should be interesting.

    Anyone here go to the show in Orono in '95. It'd be cool to hear how that was. It's hard to believe they've only played in the Bangor area once and it was almost 20 years ago.

    Bar Harbor is awesome. Laid back area... great little pubs.

    I'm fortunate to have a bunch of family in the area so I'll have a place to crash. I might take the trip to BH on saturday also. It's too close not to.

    Booked at the Econo Lodge...cheap. Was hoping to book one of the few hotels walking distance but the prices have already gone up and I'm not looking to pay $200 when all I need it for is a place to sleep.

    The Econo Lodge is decent. I'd stay away from the HoJo for anyone that's looking. I've been there before and it's awful.

    Can't believe this. When I became a diehard DMB fan, I was up at school in Orono. I drove to mansfield, bethel woods, and Hartford for shows, and now they play bangor. Now that I moved, and they won't play in South Carolina.

    Newbie here! HI!
    Just joined today basically because of this show. I've been a fan for 20 years, but haven't been to a show in probably 7 years. I'm so excited about this show. My mom lives about 5 miles from this venue!!!!! I've been to many shows there.
    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!!!
