anytime I ended up with Pit and im going with my wife i trade out for seats

i hate the Hartford pit

the few times I went with a friend we stood in the back of the pit near the entrance, which was fineish..you just have to deal with people going in and out of the pit all show

It should be fine, I’m about a half hour northwest of the venue and there has been significant improvement this afternoon. Much worse in southern CT and towards NYC, where most of the shock-photos are still posting from. Will be paying attention to local weather teams of course.

Anyone want 2 pit that has 2 lowers? Would be willing to consider a trade.

Reading reports and looking at models it looks to be ok this weekend.

Can someone refresh my mind on lot times ?

Trying to avoid dirt lot. So I’d imagine the business lots are at their discretion but don’t want to get there too early/too late

[MATTZS]

My intel is stating VIP lot is opening at 3:30

What's the chances of just showing up and getting a VIP lot ticket?

They don't work that way. I don't believe you can buy VIP lot passes at the gate. Maybe one of the other lots, but I'm not sure.

Here's a run down on the mess of traffic for Hartford this Saturday, there is a Yard Goats game at 6:00, the stadium is the same exit as Xfinity coming from 84 E&W and 91N I believe. Taste of Hartford is also going on Saturday, all day. Just some information to plan around. Should be amazing weather though! Going to be a blast!

so how bad will these events impact getting to the venue? Reason why I ask is I'm not able to leave the Boston area until 4 which gets me to Hartford around 6.

[Mikekat]

Coming from Boston I would take 84 West to 91 North and get off at the Meadows exit off 91N (I can't remember off the top of my head). Basically try to scoot around Hartford at that time. It shouldn't be a huge deal. I would rely on GPS with updating too that will know where the backups are if there are any.

[skimsdmb]

They always freak me out with the email saying the show will start at 7:30. But are we thinking it'll be the same as usual with a start time between 8 and 820?

According to setlist FM every show so far this tour has started at 7:45 so I assume that will be the case tomorrow as well.

But I was also wondering the same thing

I was going to say they are usually on time or early.

I would recommend getting on 291 in Manchester going over and getting on 91S. avoiding Hartford at that time. It's a short connector that starts in Manchester 84 and ends at 91. less than 10 minutes to 91 from 84.

Anyone looking to sell a parking pass? Somehow got parking declined through the warehouse and didn’t realize until my tickets came.

[Mikekat]

We're up guys and gals. Good set Friday which scares me a little but they always come out for Hartford. Hoping we get Bartender or something they've tucked away recently. Would love to dodge Satellite Seek Up but feeling they start with those.

The Yard Goats game should have relatively no impact on the commute.

There are a few options here, don't necessarily need to get on 91N, can take the exit 50 Main St exit and bang a right....if there's any Yard Goats traffic, which there really shouldn't be, then this might get a little backed up. Usually you can see the traffic forming. If so, then hop on 91N and get off exit 33 jennings road.

They'll come on around 7:40/7:45ish

I don't think DMB has ever been on time or early for a start time

you can do this, but really if there's any traffic at the 91 interchange downtown, it's going to be a very short wait.

Yeah, bummed about Busted Stuff - hopefully that stays around for SPAC weekend so I can hear it then.

Last nights set really scares me, worried tonight will be a standard dud

Somebody posted that Seek up was crossed out last night so at the very least maybe that makes it a guarantee tonight?

Seek up and Bartender are all I need, they can play the WATM album on loop for all I care if we get those two tunes

Jeff posted his setlist, which had Seek Up. The official setlist had Funny in it's place...so guessing there was a last minute change

Has Carter been throwing sticks after the shows like he used to, or is that still just a thing of the past?

Think that's a thing of the past....it's been quite a few years if I'm not mistaken

Almost everything in this post is incorrect.

I honestly think last nights show sets us up nicely for tonight
Hopefully means we will dodge: Crash, You and Me, Funny, Jimi (been played to death)

Seek Up opener is a go and I’m not mad about it! After Everything and All You Wanted is Tomorrow very likely out of the new tunes (Madman’s Eyes, Monsters, Vein Encore 1 slot). Would be thrilled with 2-3 tour debuts as well

Hopefully continue changing up the encores too. Regardless, Weather is looking stunning—enjoy the show, friends

he hasn't thrown sticks in at least 4-5 years. i think more than that.

[madpiker]

feel pretty bummed I had to cancel this run, but after last nights show I'm a little concerned for yall tonight. never know!
