There wasn't even an option for pits on the app. My wife pulled 2 pits of our laptop. WTF!

    Did anyone see lower level @ Bonnner (Section 1-6) pop up? Im trying to remember if that lower level was even there last year or if it was all GA standing.. Just remember it being huge.

    Ok, Kansas - I grabbed up two lowers for Bonner Springs - what is there do it around the area? Any hotels we should try to avoid, etc?

    There is the legends near by which has hotels, bars restaurants and a casino. Kansas City is about 20 minutes or so east of the venue. We usually have a group that meets in shawnee at a bar then cab to up there

    Rogers, AR got skipped this year and I'm passing on Little Rock (ewww). So Bonner Springs it is! Thought about Wichita, but it's a little further and I saw them last time (got Sweet Dreams of Wichita).
    Got reserved seats in Section 3, last row. Any pointers on decent places to stay in the area or should I just head back to KC?

    I nabbed 2 pit tickets for Bonner Springs, about 4 hrs after the public sale started. I splurged, probably foolishly, for some VIP passes also, just to see what goes on in those little tents. Sooo excited!

    Legends would definitely be the place to have some drinks or do something before the show. Also, there's a Dave & Busters at Legends. That's always fun.

    If you want to travel into the city and enjoy drinking beer, I'd suggest a Boulevard brewery tour (you have to schedule ahead of time, they fill up quickly).

    Another fun thing to do in the city is BreakoutKC. You have to solve a puzzle and break out of a room within an hour or something. I haven't done it myself but I've heard nothing but good things.

    Thanks! Done the Boulevard tour and BreakoutKC. Both are awesome. I booked our hotel at The Legends and will probably try to hit The Yardhouse and the casino at the speedway.

    Yeah I did-not care for the pit last year at sandstone. Loved it in chicago a couple years back though. I originally pulled some decent tickets in section 3 - Row W i think when they went on sale but it said I had 5 minutes so opened a new window to see if I could get anything better. (I forgot a bunch of the lower seats had been removed for the pit so that row didnt sound all that great at first..) After a few minutes I couldnt (the last tickets i pulled were somewhere in section5...) ... so I went back to the original browser window and quickly went though the check out process only to find that the tickets I had pulled in the second browser window got purchased... Oh well they still arent terrible.

    Section 5, Row Z - 11 or 12 rows back - seats 10-12 i think.. boyd side.

    Most my time has been trolling the gorge thread.. Any other KC people making the trek? At this point going solo so hoping to find some people to pregame with during the day out there..

    JFYI, at Bonner Springs, it looks as though TM recently added a couple of dozen seats for sale in lower level Sec. 5. Pretty good seats!

    We haven't received our tickets yet either. Our order details do say 10-14 days for USPS standard mail delivery, but it has now been a whole month.

    I have not gotten my TM tickets but hope I do today. Got 2 pit and 4 lower level seats via Citi presale (in addition to my 2 WH pits). Was paranoid I over ordered and would get refunded or some shlt. Had to hook some friends up via TM drop.

    And yes going to both shows; Wichita and Bonner. Went to Wichita last time DMB was here and was not impressed by arena whatsoever (sound and the large wall on one side - strange no seats there) but it is Wichita, not Kansas City (not that Kansas City is like NYC or anything). We have huge tailgate at Bonner every year. Will post more as date nears. Bottomless bomb shots, grilling (byo meat), and washers / close to port a potty. We park off State Avenue (non-premier) and drive to the far right (just under the huge "Kansas Agricultural Museum" sign. Come join us. We had canopies last year and fans due to the heat. We come prepared! Park off of State Avenue and NOT in gravel lot off K-7 - TRUST ME - you want to park behind the stage, not the gravel lot behind lawn.

    Peace and crossing fingers my TM tickets are in my mailbox when I get home. : )

    Got my TM tickets in the mail yesterday. Just went through public on-sale and did the select a seat. Got the first row behind the VIP boxes in Sec. 11, right on the aisle next to soundboard. Pretty stoked, that's exactly where I like to be. Was up in section 4 last year with the folding chairs and it was awful. I did read they are doing some renovations, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing the new place given it was in pretty rough condition last year.

    I'm going to try my hardest not to look at the setlist from Cville so I am not spoiled at all for Wichita. It still counts as the tour opener in my book anyway.

    I'm going to Wichita, what's the scene like their? Tailgating? Bars? What's up? Any get togethers? I'm coming solo from Nebraska. I'll be staying @ the Fairfield near Old Towne, I guess. Let's get together. I'd like to meet some old school peeps.

    Thanks

    There's a downtown bar area, a really good local brewery right by the venue in Old Town.

    No tailgating scene as downtown. Can get pretty congested before and after shows by arena.

    Unsure of pre-show gatherings. I know I may grab some beers with wifey at Lou's Charcuteria (heard to ignore fancy name) lol.

    Drive safe and see you in a month!
