Yikes. Maybe I should just sell them and try and get decent pavillion seats then... sigh... was real excited to get in the pit, but not one person seems to have reported a good time there

    Didn't think I was going to get pit tickets, was only temped for another show I'm going to, but was happy to see confirmations for Camden in the end.

    Any predictions for a surprise or two this year?

    I've got Pavilion N1 and Pit N2 although you guys are making me nervous about that now...

    As of now I'm attending solo and maybe staying with some friends in Phila overnight. Anyone up for meeting somewhere in Philly before one of the shows?

    So pit is no good and neither is lawn because of the fans. Maybe that says something about DMB fans.

    I think the lawn says something about the fans, at Camden anyway, but the Pit being so overcrowded that you can't move is an issue with the management at the venue. Luckily I'm a pretty tall guy so I won't have issue seeing over people, but my gf isn't so lucky and it seems unlikely we'd be able to even shift around to get a better view.

    Yup it was bad. My plan was to hang out and chill on the back rail but that was not even possible. It was a shit show. I would advise anyone with pit who is thinking you will have any room what so ever to trade out of it into something perfectly centered in the 100s or 200s.

    Re: **Official Camden 2013 Thread**

    Just decided to get tix for N1. Was thinking about pit but based on what people have said here and the fact that my friend is bringing his fiance with him i figured pit might be a bit much for her. All the way back on the center aisle of 203 Q, but i can try and upgrade if some better seats come along.

    Will wait for N2 tix later i think unless i'm able to find something awesome soon. Not sure if I'm gonna have anybody to go with anyways so I'll be better off finding a single later probably.

    Was worried my summer schedule would prevent me from seeing any shows this year so I'm glad I was able to figure something out.

    Flyers suck **runs away**

    Re: **Official Camden 2013 Thread**

    I haven't been to Camden since 2008, but I remember the sound quality being pretty poor near the front of the lawn. I think the venue's sound systems must be very old or something. I clearly have no idea what I'm talking about, but I've been to other (newer) venues since then which sounded many times better.

    I would imagine the sound is much better in the seated area at Camden simply because of the acoustic advantage of being under cover. (I was only in there once in 2005, but that was my first show so I don't remember enough to form an accurate opinion.)

    Re: **Official Camden 2013 Thread**

    Damnit, I'm pissed. Was able to lock up an upgrade to the three seats I bought yesterday for N1. Would have upgraded from 203 Q to 100 W. Went to process the order and got an error page . Now I'm gonna have to keep an eye on any ticket drops if I want a chance at an upgrade for 3 tickets. Really bummed.

    On the bright side though, was able to get a single for N2 in 103 P. Was pulling a lot of singles in the front corner of 104, but I've had those kinds of seats before and its a bit dissapointing when you can barely see the back of the stage, let alone anybody performing behind the stacks. I think I'll like that location a lot better.

    Alright, amid my previous bitching, was able to find 3 together in 202 K. Is it even worth upgrading to these from the inner aisle of 203Q? Would I be better off waiting for something better?

    I dunno your odds of finding three together closer to the show might be difficult.

    I'm thinking I'll just do it. Saves myself the headache of keeping a constant eye on TM. Its minor, but its a little better i guess.

    Welp, nm. went to process my order again and got an error. This time it said my hold timed out even though I went to process with a minute left. Live Nation, you are not my friend today.

    Unless you like being smashed into 1,000 other people unable to move for 3 hours, I don't think very many people "loved" pit at Camden. Easily the worst, most overcrowded of any venue.

    yeah, as my work has inexplicably blocked ticketmaster and live nation a few months back, i've been using my phone to place the orders. Probably should have downloaded the LN app, wasn't thinking about it. Oh well, sux but not the end of the world.

    You have me concerned now....were you up front, side, back? Are you referrrig to last summer or others? Thought i would give it a shot because my experience at other venues was good. Thanks for the input

    I've never been to Camden and have had good experiences at other venues as well. Most of the feedback I've heard though hasn't been very positive.

    I think part of it will largely depend on how hot of a day it is as well. I was in the pit at Alpine last year and it was 100+ that day. The pit, while crowded was manageable and you had some space to move, but the heat was the worst part. If its a cooler day I'm there's potential that it might not be as bad.

    In end I'm not sure though.

    I was wondering this as well. For some reason LN has removed most if not all of those. Really liked em, no clue why they are gone now.

    Never been in the pit at Camden, but sat 2 rows behind it at N1 in 2010. People looked fucking miserable, and they were packed from the front rail to the back rail with no space in between.

    Haven't been to Camden since my 4 year high school run ending in '09. Heading back with the same rew (plus boyfriends and girlfriends this time) since our annual SPAC trip was ruined by the early tour date this year. So excited to hit up my original home venue again! We're doing Lawn so we can all be together and party it up like we're in high school again, any idea on when the Lawn tickets sell out on LiveNation these days? Back in 06/07/08/09 it seemed like they were gone within a month (especially N2), but I feel like the band is a bit less popular these days, any truth to that? Trying to hold off on buying until we sort out some financial issues.

    I would think Night 2 lawns will sell out before Night 1. But since both shows are on a weekend that may not be the case. You might be right that they aren't as popular anymore (eg 3 night run in 99 at Veterans Stadium, 3 night runs at Camden in 01 and 02)

    There are 12,000 lawn seats to be had for each night. I would think that a month from now you're okay. You might even be okay once June hits.
