Most arenas suck compared to amphitheaters. Seeing them is better than not seeing them for me though.

It couldn't have been that bad, to leave during Seek Up.

This. It isn't that bad.

Regardless of the sound quality, I'm not missing a chance to see this band 1.5 hours from home. Booked the Marriott. Hoping I get confirmed for GA Floor.

True story.

[TMoore4075]

Hotel booked at the Westin. AAA had a damn good rate so booked up a junior suite since it's the wife's bday weekend.

This thread is too quiet

Not sure I will have the funds in time for the presale.. considering it is a full arena show, is it a decent bet that half decent tickets will still be avail within a week or so after the public on sale date?

Doubtful. Toronto could sell out Nickleback in an hour.

[BrahmaBull]

Hm, I didnt mean to use a Canadian based band. The point is, terrible acts can sell out Toronto venues very quickly.

[TMoore4075]

There will be plenty of scalpers picking up seats too. So I wouldn't count on getting good seats after next friday. Maybe you can find some I don't want to say no you won't but the odds will be small.

[jeff edwards]

I have to say that it wasn't the ACC that had poor sound back at the 2005 show, it was Butch Taylor's shirt that was really loud and noisy.
I had floors for that show and I thought that was a great fucking show sound to me was fantastic.

[CDN-DMBfan]

Can someone explain how there are already tickets available on stub hub for this show?

[GoldenGate]

Does anyone have any experience with purchasing a Warehouse membership and then requesting tickets during their first year of membership? I was a warehouse member for 4 years back in 2005-2008 and accidentally let my membership lapse. I never really found that the tickets I requested were that great, I would mostly request Darien Lake and Molson Amp but I swear I never got good seats.

I'm now debating signing up again because the ACC GA Floors will most likely NOT be available when the ticketbastard onsale occurs Fri but I'm wondering if anyone has gotten good Molson Amp seats during their first year of membership these days?

I'll let you know next week.

[jamjumpin]

There isn't a groo pit this time I don't think, so it shouldn't be hard to get floor tickets.
If you think of the line up for warehouse at the amphitheatre, it wasn't that big.

[amyd06]

Ok - if you could choose... What would you prefer - GA floor or Tix in the 100's section?

[BrettG19DMBFan]

There is a chance I will have an extra pair of first level reserveds for this show. I plan to unload them at face when the time has come if it does.

Just putting the feelers out there in case it happens.

So do I understand right there will be no seatting at all on the floor - just standing?

Well, depending on company - i'd prefer to stand, but i'll be going with my wife who isn't able to.. so I requested the top price level for seatting (assuming is not on the floor).

I assume everyone will stand up no matter where they are though, at least in the Warehouse seatting area as was the case at Molson..?

Reserved 100's but that's cause I don't want to have to stand for hours first in line and then on the floor. Oh how I miss seats on the floor.

I am REALLY hoping the warehouse doesn't stick me in 111, 110, 116 or 117, next to the stage.. I assume crappy seats for a lot of money?

[BrettG19DMBFan]

i was side stage in either 109 or 110 back in 2005 (they were warehouse tix). i thought it was a cool view and experience. sound wasnt bad, and that perspective was different, but in a good way, to me personally.

[TMoore4075]

How long do we think they wait to give us our seat locations? Usually it's a month or 2 before the show. We're already at that point.

Pretty sure I didn't receive my Molson Ampitheatre tickets until a week before, a few months ago (thus found out where I sat at the same time) ..

Ugh now I am nervous I will be stuck next to the stage and wonder if I should have tried Ticketmaster instead on Friday.

[TMoore4075]

Seat assignments were posted March 30th so almost 2 months before the first first show. So not sure how fast they will be posted but pretty quick by comparison. I'm guessing not this week because it's not 2002 anymore.

DMB doesn't even sell out the Ampihtheater right away usually takes them awhile so I can't see this selling out that quickly.
