Hello All - I am requesting tickets through the warehouse this year for the first time. (Requesting 9 shows total). I understand that seat assignments will not be posted until much later on, but at what point will we know if we got pit, reserved or lawn? Would be nice to at least know this before the public on sale date...?

Thanks!

You will find out if you got confirmed for tickets (and which type) a couple of days before the public on sale date

I'm probably going to try to get off that afternoon (though I get back from a 10 day vacation on the 17th, moved it just for this). I'm not real sure how tailgating would go, NWA and the Amp could be kind of weird about that. The "real" parking lots are for preferred parking folks so we'd just be out in a field and I doubt the venue staff will be out there at that point. I'm not sure how it'd be received with a group of folks prepartying out in the open like that (we'd actually be across the street from the venue). Perhaps we should do some asking...

Otherwise, we can pick a place and just gather there. Grubs, Chuy's, The Big Chill, Bonefish, Carabbas and Theo's are all within walking distance (< 1 mile).

Yea a hangout at a bar is probably our best bet. Northwest Arkansas is pretty stingy when it comes to alcohol outdoors. County just went wet two years ago. I'm going to grubs for a birthday party tomorrow night. I'll ask about reserving a long high top for the night of the show for us around 4 pm if anyone is interested.

Theo's or Grubbs may be the best bet. Chuy's couldn't even handle the crowd before Santana... I'll talk to some of the George's crowd and see if they have any ideas about tailgating. I honestly don't think they have had a performer at the Amp yet that will bring this kind of crowd!

Mmmm, Chuy's so good

Hey I agree on nixing Chuy's. I'm sure it'll be slammed anyway plus the bar area isn't really big or open enough. Although, so far it looks like attendance would be minimal.

I am stoked they are coming to NWA. We have been traveling for years to see DMB and first time it's been so close to home. Great scenery for a badass show. We grabbed a room at the Embassy. Thinking maybe there should be a pre-party at the embassy for all us ants. Walking distance to the AMP and plenty of room for gathering and partying. We can also go across the street to Grubs too.

I'm down for wherever.

We're staying across town, but don't mind driving somewhere before the show.

We'll be staying at my wife's grandparents house in Springdale. Just a 10 min or so drive away. I'll be up for meeting close by!

[kmac666]

There is an awesome brewery - Core. The main brewery is in springdale but they opened up a pretty sweet pub in rogers about 1 mile from the amp. There is also a sweet deck to hang out on. Only negative is they don't serve food - can always order or bring in your own. The crowd in rogers will be a lot of corp types. So our group may just stay down in fayetteville, where a bunch of us live, take a van up. But if you are looking for something in rogers that may not be so obvious, try Core, very solid beer. Watch out for the DB's though.

Got my room reserved at Embassy Suites. We'll probably pre-game there then walk to the AMP.

[labren]

The AMP just announced that Kenny Chesney tickets are going to be sold through TM due to high demand. Wonder if DMB tickets will be done the same way. here is the listing:

[labren]

it now says it is due to "artists considerations."

[slyguy12]

It's ******** awesome to see so many folks excited for an Arkansas show. Looking forward to May.

Looks like it'll be Rogers and then Southaven for me.

See you at both!

Trying out the AR show this year. We usually do TX and have gotten pit through WH the last two years for Dallas. Hope we get something decent this year for this venue.

I hope so too. I put it as my priority show which hopefully will land us good seats.

[labren]

i know some people look for temps and some don't, but the ones for this show showed up on my card about an hour ago.

[aparker507]

^^Nice. Nothing on mine yet. Can't imagine anyone getting declined for this show.

Nothing here either.

[chadizzy1]

I got temps for one series, but the amount is the same for both series so I dunno which one its for.

But don't worry if you don't have them, it really doesn't matter. I've not gotten temps before and got tickets

I'm feel like I'll get tickets. I'm just really hoping to go ahead and land reserved seats, but I'm probably the least senior requestor so I hope there's enough to go around.

[chadizzy1]

I made sure to make this my priority show. It's the one I'm most excited about so it's the one I want the best seats for.

[sig331]

Got my temp for lawn seats

[aparker507]

Got temps today!

[aparker507]

Going to the Needtobreathe/Ben Rector/Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors show in April. Will get some good pics and layout of the venue

[aparker507]

I realize Dmb is probably too big for this kind of thing, but I scored front row center and vip tix to the Needtobreathe show. As a member of their fan club, you immediately get your seat locations and really good front row areas.

Ben Rector, and Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors are opening. My wife and I went to our first Needtobreathe and Ben Rector show back in 2011 at the old AMP. She immediately fell in love with the bands, and Ben Rector's White Dress was our wedding song.

As part of Needtobreathe vip, you get early entrance to the show, a laminate pass, a photo with each Band, and a personally played song. I hope Ben will play us White Dress as I got this for my wife's anniversary gift. Hearing our wedding song played in person with just us by the original guy would be an awesome gift for her.

DMB management , take note of how a fan club should be run.

The show is now on Live Nation, with a CITI pre-sale, didn't think this venue would get it:
