I'm thinking about requesting the Premium Package for this show since there's no pit. Anyone do it last year that would recommend it?

    We took the Rocks off Party Bus last year, tickets were purchased on their website but it was listed on LiveNation/ticketbastards. The ride was great, it was byob, it had a bathroom but it was hot as hell in there, they played great tunes, and the MC did some trivia and gave away free beer. the bus left from the Hammerstein Ballroom on 34th street around 5:30 (I think) and we got there in plenty of time to see the first set. And coming home was great as well. The cost was 50 bucks (I think). Here is the website http://rocksoff.com/bustrips hopefully they do it again this year.

    Good info, thanks. Maybe taking my mini-me, so while it sounds awesome, was it an adult-only type environment? Not that my son doesn't see or hear a ton living in the city, just don't want some drunk ass puking next to him on the way home.

    Nobody was puking or anything like that. Ages were all over the place, not many college kids though. The bus was pretty quiet coming home, a lot of people crashed.

    That being said I have a 7 year old and I would NOT bring him. If he was a teenager I would think about it and sit up front, the rowdy crew were in the back.

    Good information. Think I may stick to public transportation if I hit up this show. Not that public transportation doesn't offer the same rowdy crowd.

    I snagged a 12th row single day of the show last year. I wouldn't do premium unless it's your only show or you just have the $$$$

    I would not take this bus just based on the way the advertise it. Also heard stories of Unreliability in the past. Never taken it though since I live in weehawken.

    They ban alcohol sales/consumption on the trains for DMB shows and most country shows. That being said, I brought on beer and the conductor said I could do whatever I wanted. I also don't look like a COMPLETE degenerate.

    Yeah. Super bummed about that. I'm not sure how I'm going to go with my wife AND son. And lawn is not an option for either one of them.

    Edit: I doubt I'll have any luck picking up three tickets through the public on sale AND it is damn near impossible to get three tickets on the secondary market (as I've tried before).

    The past two years I've requested 4 tickets to each show through WH and have gotten section 204 & 201. Not too bad.

    I just looked at the PNC schedule through google.. and if you look through it they list Dave Matthews Band on Wednesday, June 10th and then again on Tuesday, October 6th...

    This is obviously a mistake.. but quite weird.

    That would be nice. WH tickets are getting tougher and tougher to get, let alone decent seats if you even get confirmed.

    if WH gives you 400s, you need to call them up and completely chew them out. if you're not mean enough to do that, i'll do it for you Ben.
