Just decided to add this show. Got a
room at Laquinta as I was hoping to walk to and from show. Thought about staying at casino, but will just hop over there if I have the energy post show. May do some gaming prior.

Never been to venue, any info on merch stand locations?

[AllifromOhio]

Called the casino, $10 ride to/from the casino. You need a wristband.

That's kind of shitty. That's if you're staying there? Or just anybody?

She made it sound weird, she said $10 for people or you had to get a show package if you were staying there. Not sure what that is, she didn't go into detail.

IMO SPAC is the best experience to anywhere I have ever been in the country. STL doesn't come close to that experience. BUT it isn't all bad. The tailgating scene is pretty much non-existent as basically as everything is parking lot. There is a Dave and Busters on the Riverport property that the venue is in and that can be pretty cool to hang out at. If you do choose to drink in the parking lot as long as you're not being crazy you should not have any issues it's just not a great atmosphere. Let me know if you have any more specific questions

Thanks for the info. This will be my first show outside my home venue since the Riverbend '06 fiasco haha (granted I took a break from 2008-2011) but I'm pretty pumped!

Ya when I was looking into booking there I noticed show packages on the website. I think it's basically just a pre show gathering with food drink and includes a shuttle. When I booked and asked about it they said they weren't doing any show packages for the dmb show. Maybe because it's a Sunday? Not sure. But the guy said there will still be a shuttle

[AllifromOhio]

Lady told me there was no place having discounted drinks/gathering for the show. So I don't know what a show package is.

I could have gotten a free room from them but I decided against it. I'd rather go back after the show.

[illinifan]

Tailgate on Main St in St. Charles. MAYBE a ten min drive to venue. I've said it 100 times. Thank me later.

[mHeiser92]

Have a single lower, center section row Q. Would like to trade straight up for a Pit. If anybody would like to have a seat for the night shoot me a pm

It's $10, but they give you a $10 food and drink voucher you can use at the hotel restaurants or bars. Plus the bus drops you off at a special gate. The gate is for the hotel bus only. The hotel has like 10 buses running back in forth. Totally worth it.

There is one right when you walk in, and then one on each side of the seats.

[Brewski77]

Got our tickets guess I'm assuming the seats are all odd numbered ? Got upper seats 63 65 67 and 69

That is correct!

[alpinevally]

Anyone stayed at the Homewood Suites next door? My wife and I have reservations but the reviews sound like the place is a dump (I know it actually is across the street from one too!)

[labren]

got a pair of WH Tickets for sale, section left, row V. that's either the second or third row of uppers. $160.00 and i will fedex them to you.

I'm also curious about this place. We are booked there too. Figured it would be very convenient for the show and it was cheap, but re-thinking it now.

still looking!

[hensleytyler44]

Does anyone know if we can bring signs into the amphitheater? Planning on making a LAST STOP sign if we're allowed to

[AllifromOhio]

They have already played Last Stop a couple of times. I was under the impression signs were for songs they haven't played?

I just want to be sure that I hear it this summer. I'm sure it will be played at Alpine when I'm there but just saying, I will be really bummed if I miss it this summer

Place is a dump. And signs aren't allowed.

[illinifan]

Drury in Maryland Heights is solid and close. Hollywood casino is reasonable some times

Isn't the Homewood the old Wyndham Garden? I mean it's been about 10+ years since I stayed there but it served just fine for one night.

Signs aren't allowed, but they are there every year. I think that most venues are that way, it gives them a right to pull them if they feel like it, but I have seen plenty inside before! Do Em up

[AllifromOhio]

We should try to arrange a meet up at a local establishment before the show since tailgating sucks.

Sounds like a great plan! Someone above has mentioned a place in St Charles, which isn't too far, but would be a drive/UBER/cab. Dave and Busters is right on the Riverport Property as well!

Sorry I just read Illini saying main st in Old St. Charles! I have been there once and he is correct it is a very cool area! Again transportation would be only very minor downfall, but it is close and would be cheap to grab a cab.

Parking on St. Charles will be hard though, right? Like parking there and then cabbing to the venue is a no-go I bet.

Parking at Dave and Busters might be easier if they let us leave our cars there?

[mHeiser92]

I'm staying at the casino. Didn't have any real plans yet but willing to meet up with some people if we get something going?
