I think Forest Hills was the first to sell out. And it was within 24 hours too. It might've been within only a few hours now that I remember it.

    Yes, MSG is a destination venue so I'm not even counting that.

    It's a mix of a the NYC crowd, the SIRIUS XM livestream and a new venue. Go in expecting not much and maybe we leave with something special. Regardless, if the weather anywhere close to what it's projected currently, it'll be a great night.

    Wayyyy too early to project the weather at this point, but it looks like it's a sure thing that it'll be cool. Rain is another question tbd

    HA! From a financial standpoint, I should cut the show. From a mental health standpoint, we're getting out of dodge and going to NY. No expectations for the show, high expectations to get away.

    Wilmington (both nights) and Forest Hills were both marked as sellouts on the WH within 24 hours of public sales starting. There's an argument to be made for Wilmington being the tougher ticket since it's a much smaller venue and there weren't alternate options in driving distance, but if FH wasn't the toughest, it was certainly close to it (I still haven't sniffed a whiff of pit or floor).

    Correct but you are aware FH is not a LN venue, right?

    Go on WH, people have them. Ant's isn't a good site for tickets, if you ask me. Furthermore, people should be paying to access a fan clubs ticket inventory.

    rather not drive there, especially on a fri evening in summer... probably best taking the lirr and giving yourself some time

    Sound should be great regardless of where you are. It's a compact little stadium - very similar to Charleston if Charleston had been built 100 years ago. The main difference is whether you want a center stage view that's further away (602) or a side view that's closer (902).

    Pre-book your parking if you are driving.

    If you're not driving, I'm assuming you go Amtrak into Penn Station, and then you would take either the LIRR or the E subway into Forest Hills from there.

    I'm looking at places to get something to eat before the show, Rove looks good

    Really hope we get Bartender, I haven't seen it full band in 13 years

    Getting to FH is just such a pain in the ass, unless you live close to a subway line or maybe LIRR

    Otherwise, not worth the hassle.

    Ths sound is very subpar, drink/ food options are pretty brutal, lines always long

    If you can put all that aside, the history and ambiance of the stadium is cool

    I was fortunate enough to get an Airbnb within a 10 minute walk to the stadium (with parking!). Plan on a noon arrival then lunch and dranks. I always ask the locals here for recommendations after doing some research, and so far have picked The Taphouse and Forest Hills Station House. Hit me up with other ideas if these aren't wise choices. I'm a simple guy - good beers and a burger will suit me fine.

    Can't wait to kick off my summer!

    Show time is 7:00pm (not 7:30pm) and since that likely means they're working with a 10:00pm curfew I wouldn't expect them to dilly-dally too long before hitting the stage.

    Dear Warehouse Member,

    Please note that the tickets you received from Dave Matthews Band Warehouse Ticketing for the Forest Hills Stadium show on June 9th displays an incorrect showtime. The correct time for the band to hit the stage should be listed as 7:00 pm and is listed correctly on the Warehouse website. Please adjust your travel plans accordingly so that you do not miss the start of the show. We apologize for this error and the inconvenience.

    Cheers,

    The Warehouse Crew

    This venue is in the middle of a residential neighborhood and is not parking-friendly. If you're driving, I strongly recommend securing your parking in advance at a garage in the area as there is no guarantee there will be space available if you just show up on show day. You'll also have to deal with NYC rush hour on a Friday if you drive. Things will likely be a lot less stressful for you if you take Metro-North into Grand Central and then the LIRR to Forest Hills from there.

If you're driving, I strongly recommend securing your parking in advance at a garage in the area as there is no guarantee there will be space available if you just show up on show day. You'll also have to deal with NYC rush hour on a Friday if you drive. Things will likely be a lot less stressful for you if you take Metro-North into Grand Central and then the LIRR to Forest Hills from there.
    Cool thanks
