Yes, maybe just day before, I would bet SUN 2/17

It is odd that they didn't give us a confirmation date; they have for past tours

I’m torn on whether or not to request tickets for Camden. Seems like it’s becoming less useful now that good tickets are easier to come by. Why get stuck with tickets you don’t like?

Camden is home turf for me, but I've never been in the pit. I heard today that it's pretty shitty. Camden has a solid lawn anyway so I usually go that route, although the seated area is fine too. I did request pit for Mansfield, though. We will see how that goes...

Does having fewer request have any impact on fulfillment? If I only request one or two shows prioritizing the given venue, will I have a better chance of getting tickets then requesting four or five shows...like they'll be more likely to decline the hot venues and stick you with mediocre seats in the "lesser" venues?

I know it's all supposed to be random selection, but it doesn't always sound consistent. Similarly, assignment (once confirmed) is supposed to be skewed to seniority, or something like that...right?

I don't believe the amount of shows you request has any bearing on your confirmations.

I'm convinced it's all one big crapshoot.

Define too many.

Highly recommend your advice! I opted out of lawn for Camden last year and guess what, got lawn. With no proof, I was stuck with em. Luckily I was able to find a buyer (at a heavy discount though)

Basically this

[TwoStep2888]

ok so I've never requested tickets through WH before, how does this work exactly?

[TwoStep2888]

I'm not looking for pit or anything fancy, I just want to get pavilion seats for me and my dad for Alpine

I HATED the pit last year. Absolutely ruined the show for me. Night 1 I was on the lawn with space and fresh air and better sound loving life. Night 2 show sucked regardless but being squeezed in tightly sweating with a bunch of annoying fans and subpar sound...no thanks

I always skip over pit and request pavilion reserved. Too many Camden pit horror stories.

Wells Fargo pit last month, on the other hand, was great.

Are you new to the WH or a long term member that just never requested?

[dmbolp]

Wildhorse Camping sold out

I've been in WH for a few years now and just haven't requested before

[Zags85]

Just tried out this new virtual waiting room for a Phish on sale. Sort of takes the fun out of refreshing.

Curious if anyone has good tips (multiple tabs with only one show open in the tabs, devices, etc.) or it's really in the hands of random luck now.

[Jsc6545]

Is premium worth it? What does it get you besides the listed items?

$115 ticket
$20 parking pass
$50 poster
~$50 gift?

$235 — what do I get for the other $90? Am I just paying for them to hold my poster aside?

[dmbolp]

$90 gets you a better seat than you would have had otherwise (Pit excluded)

You said you weren't picky about where in the pav you sit, right? If you're fine with uppers than requesting is fine because you'll likely be there. Just make sure you opt out of lawn and use priority for N2 at Alpine.

If you get temp charges it just means you put your cc info in correctly. It doesn't guarantee you've been selected for that level or at all, but it usually results in some sort of confirmation. You will know what level you get confirmed for but not your exact seat location till closer to when they ship the tix.

Ok sounds good, thanks

Where? Would I get guaranteed lowers vs. uppers with a regular request?

[dmbolp]

Correct; Premium Reserves are going to be Lowers

[TwoStep2888]

ok I requested for two Alpine uppers, hope it works

Jus curious, any reason you didn't request lowers?

didn't feel like paying that much, we just want to not do lawn again this year

I might request for Nashville, seems like it could be a tougher ticket. Is Camden worth requesting?

Camden is worth going to because it’s a big stop (2 nighter), it’s my home venue and doesn’t ever get the sets SPAC, Alpine, Deer Creek, or even WPB get- we usually get an interesting N1 and a strong N2 albeit very littered with the predictability; I think one sweet world has opened a show in Camden for 15 straight years. I’ve seen a few of my top shows ever there. It is not a user friendly venue for anything. The parking is awful, the area smells, and it’s unsafe (I’ve been broken into several times and robbed at knife point). If you are going to Camden for a DMB show and are unfamiliar, park at Penns Landing in Philadelphia (or stay in Philadelphia near Penns landing) then take the Ferry over to the amphitheater. It will cost not much for a round trip ticket. You’ll have to wait in line after the show for the ferry ride back but it’s that be waiting on traffic in a dirty high-crime city. They play solid shows there and we usually get a TD; again albeit not anything like at SPAC when Raven and JTR come out of nowhere, but it was Camden that Fool to think came
Off the shelf at and where plastic girl debuted (I’m not sure if that makes worse or not) it’s also a venue where Jimi will always be played.
