Anyone ever have tickets in section 13 or any of the other open air reserved sections? How is the view?

    You're paying $30 more for a section that used to be lawn. For the money upgrade if possible. I'm stuck with section 13 through Warehouse. Not happy.

    I gave up on getting tickets through Warehouse years ago. I use the Citi presale and have gotten pretty good seats in sections 4 and 5 the past four years. I would be furious if I got stuck with the open air seating after paying for a Warehouse membership. If you aren't in the covered section then you might as well save your money and get tickets in the lawn, just my personal opinion.

    agreed. Mansfield is a good venue but the fact they charge $85 is a disgrace.

    I do love those seats during Warped Tour when I need to take a break, drink a beer and eat some popcorn though.

    Hey all!

    Look forward to seeing some familiar faces and hopefully some new faces as well. I think I'll be tailgating in the main lots with some groups. Might be bringing back the giant, foam, green hat so keep your eyes peeled for the party.

    ISO 2 tickets for Mansfield 6/10/2016

    Me and my wife have been going to DMB in Mansfield for 10+ years. This spring our two teenage kids bought us two tickets - I am tearing up just thinking about it...

    6/10 is our 21st wedding anniversary and we really want to take the kids with us. Tried buying lawn seats to no avail - sold out it appears.

    we have two tickets in section 13 (uppers) - row U

    would love to buy 2 more in the same general vicinity or trade them for 4 lawn - will of course pay for the other 2

    just really want to take in the show with the whole family - it has been years since we took the kids, they are awesome and should be there too

    any help appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Hey All,
    Heading to Mansfield for the first time. Been a Hartford goer for the past 10 plus years. Need a change of scenery....what's the pre show environment like? We got a hotel about 20 minutes from the venue. Anyone use uber to ride in and out? I heard parking and leaving is god awful. Any info would be helpful! Thanks!

    Getting in and out is tough, the way the venue's lots are laid out does a great job of bottle-necking everyone on exit. I bought premier parking this year in hopes that it will spare me the frustration.

    Pre-show environment is good, more laid back than the Hartford crowd. The kids get crazy an hour or two before show time in CT, you won't see as much of that here.

    The police used to be a bit more hard-nosed in years past but they seem to have mellowed the past couple years. Just don't be an idiot and you'll have a great time.

    Can't provide any Uber insight - we drive up (and back) from CT the same night.

    Tailgating is way better in Hartford, especially in the private lots.

    But, I prefer Mansfield. Its a much nicer venue. Once you are inside the facility there is no comparison.

    Getting out is awful in Mansfield, plan on a bout 1-2 hours.

    Hartford is only about 30 mins away for me - so its nice to be home at a good hour, but I look forward to Mansfield way more. Better crowd, better facility

    Make sure you use Solo cups or similar to drink. You can't drink directly from bottles or cans - they will make you dump it out and give you a hard time.

    Last year people were talking about parking across the street from the venue. What is the deal with that? Anybody know?

    You can do that but the lots outside are pretty small and you have to pay. I would recommend getting there early if you want to do that. I have always put up with the traffic. In my opinion its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Everyone has a horror story to tell, but on average I would say it takes about 20-30 minutes to get out of of the lots, especially if you don't wait until the end of the show.

    I just scored a set of Pit Tickets on Ticket Master about an hour ago. I would much rather sit in section 2. If anyone has section 2 and wants to do an even trade let me know.

    Hey ya'll bought tickets today! My first time going to Mansfield and I had a few questions about the venue and everything if ya'll don't mind.

    Got tickets in Section 10, decent view? Does anyone know if it is covered or not? Looking at pictures it seems like there are some seats that aren't, just want to be prepared for weather if need be. I am doing the lawn both nights at SPAC so I wanted to have seats for a night this summer.

    I will be driving down from Boston that day, how is the parking situation? My girlfriend lives walking distance from SPAC so I am somewhat spoiled when it comes to driving in and out of venues lol

    Any other tips to have the best experience possible? Going to SPAC and Gorge this summer, but I couldn't wait and I saw tickets still on Live Nation I had to jump on them. Hoping for an awesome show!

    section 10 is not a covered section. the view is ok at best, sorry.

    The parking situation if you use the free lots is brutal. 1-2 hours min to get out.

    The venue is really good though - clean, great crowd, nice setting

    Welcome to Mansfield! Your view will be OK from section 10 BUT they are open air seats. They used to be lawn about 7-8 years ago but were paved over to make open air seating (more reserved=higher ticket prices for the venue). Plenty of free parking at the venue but it can be a bitch and a half to get out after the show. In saying that, there are lots of pay lots around the venue that charge anywhere from $40-$60. It's TOTALLY worth it IMHO as it makes leaving a million times easier. Plus, you'll have to worry much less about police or security in private lots. Depending on the show and your parking spot neighbors, the free venue lots can be policed pretty heavily, even for people not causing a scene. The person next to me two years ago had to dump out all of their beer because the cop spotted him pouring into a solo cup. He wasn't being rowdy at all. Another thing to note, if you are under 25 bring a passport with you or you will not be served alcohol being from out of state. State law that's pretty strictly enforced at shows. If you have any other questions about the venue or the area feel free to PM me or just ask me on here. Hoping for a killer show! We tend to get sneakily great shows so you should be in for a treat.

    Looking forward to this show as its the start of my shows this year. Anyone going to Hartford on Saturday? Looking for some family to tailgate with both nights.
