This venue is awesome. Not a bad seat in the house. So glad we are making the 3 hour drive from Nashville to go.
Who else is hitting the southern trifecta of Pelham/Charlotte/Atlanta?

Driving down from beautiful huntsvegas for this one!!!

I'll be in Atlanta but won't know until the week of the show whether or not I can make it. Hoping to cross Alabama off my list of states I've seen the band in....

I remember this cool little dirt road by the venue that seems like an awesome place to tailgate. The dirt road is close to a few restaurants and the hotel.

The venue it's self is awesome. It's a really clean well maintained venue. Out of the 7 venues I have seen dmb at this is number 2.

[schwaca]

Already have full temp charges for 2 100 level ticekts. This is definitely the fastest this has ever happened.

One cool thing about the venue is it is right off of Hwy 31 which runs for miles and miles with plenty of restaurants on both sides. I had some work done on my jeep near the venue last week and I spent the day cruising up and down 31 in my wife's car. Plenty of stores and places to eat. The Galleria isn't too far away.

What is number 1? Funny enough, I put Pelham near the bottom...no pit or lawn...just a theater setup and it's small and with a lackluster tailgating scene. I thought Tuscaloosa was much better last year. Orange Beach too.

Number one is Charlotte NC for me( haven't been to spac, gorge, red rocks, alpine, deer creek.) so Charlotte is my number 1.

I don't like the pit so that's one thing that makes me rate Pelham high. Imo the tailgating Was better at oak mountain then Tuscaloosa. I can't speak for orange beach because I haven't been there. Their is just something I like about oak mountain.

Charlotte is pretty sweet. Have to agree with that. Although I like that Oak Mountain is all seats and not pit or lawn. It makes it unique.

Same for me

[tyler3440]

Anybody recommend a good restaurant in the Pelham area. Last time I ate at dreamland in Tuscaloosa.

[riklite]

My temps have been removed and the transaction has been completed and money taken out of my account for the full amount. I opted out of any other tickets other than premium. I think I'm good!

[dontdrink36]

^what bank did you use? I've had temps for Pelham and ATL lowers holding for over a week. It's still processing, though. Hope it goes permanent soon. I'm using Bank of America

I used my PayPal debit card.

[schwaca]

Perm charges for 200 level after they showed back up on my card initially at 100 level price last night. Had already had one round of temp charges go away so was hoping that the second time they showed up meant 100 level

Good deal! I know people say to wait until confirmations but I'm going to go ahead and celebrate anyway. I requested pit for last year, was charged the exact same way, and got them.

I've been a member for a couple of years. I think I joined in July of 2014. Last year, I only requested 2 pits for Tuscaloosa and I got it. This year, I only requested 2 premium packages (opted out of any other tickets) for Pelham and it looks like I got them. So needless to say, Tuscaloosa last year and Pelham this year were my priority shows.

[riklite]

What has people's experience been with premiums for Pelham? What's the best seats you got or worst seats you got? Is it better to use the Warehouse line or the VIP parking entrance? Where do you pick up your package? I've never done premium before so just wondering what to expect.

Premium at Pelham is an unbelievable experience. There is no pit so you'll have a very very good seat to yourself. If you make it in the first 3 rows security will let you leave your seat and make a very tiny "mini pit" right in front of the stage that was like 2 rows deep. (at least they did last time) They will stand in the aisles and ensure others don't creep down.

You won't have to worry at all about getting in the venue early since all seats are assigned so just have fun tailgating and go in when you want. Picking up the gifts was super easy and again, since you'll have an assigned seat you won't have to just carry it around everywhere you go...

Consider yourself lucky for getting premiums to pelham. Its a really good DMB experience.

[pzamps210]

Just trying to keep up with premium confirms and join dates. (This is how they determine seat locations right?) Help me update as you hear of other people getting confirmed!

Thanks for the info! I was lucky enough to snag 2nd row for STP in Pelham back in 2008 so I know about the mini pit. It was an awesome show for sure. I've only been in WH a couple of years so I won't hold my breath on being in the first 3 rows but first 10 rows would be nice. I was just wondering how far back and to the sides do premium seats get.

Cant speak to the how far to the side but I've never heard of a premium seat farther than 10 rows back. we should be golden
