    If you factor in set, crowd, performance and venue, it's at the top of the heap. Chillest crowd on the tour. Love this stop.

    It should for this show! But only within the tier you get approved for.

    Also, 3 posts in 16 years!

    Don’t believe so, unless something has changed in the last two years.

    There’s a hospital and a bunch of stores within close proximity to the venue, so I’m kind of surprised there’s no hotel actually. Princess Anne Rd is a pretty major thoroughfare.

    Pumped about my confirmed lowers for this one. Set it as my priority show since it will be my 50th show.

    Warehouse member since 2000. Requested and confirmed for 2x$115 reserve. Well, confirmed before Warehouse ticketing went down for maintenance.

    See you all at the show.

    Hi all Never been to this venue and just got confirmed PIT tickets. Is the PIT seats or standing? The ampitheater website looks like it seats, but my confirmation says "GA PIT STANDING". And if it is standing - how early should we arrive?

    Any response is greatly appreciated

    Pit is the orchestra section with the seats removed. You will be standing.

    Planning on this to be #50 for me as well, though I may try to squeeze in a Camden or two in June.

    1) Depends how close you want to be. Rail? you'll have to get there around noon and stand in line for the doors to open. If you're cool with some hang-out space near the back of the pit you can get there at any time, really

    2) Posters are fine in the pit but it can get a little crowded in the front. might be a bit of a hassle

    3) Bathroom depends where you are and if you're with a group of people that will let you back in. closer to the front you are, harder it will be

    Got confirmed for lowers. Can't wait. Making it a beach trip from WV. Last VB show I went to was one of favorites of all time in 2015. Lovely ladies were there. Plus he sang VA Naked in the Rain and it had been raining that day. One of my favorite places to be.

    This is now gone, but if anyone is interested in trading a pit for a good single lower, I have one of those: Section 102 Row H. If you want to trade for a good seat, I'll take your sweaty pit tic!

    The only real option is to do Uber. There is no public transportation in the area. I would suggest to go to the Finn McCools bar across the street. They have a free shuttle bus so you can have some drinks and food before and avoid traffic.

    I haven’t seen anything mentioned regarding opening acts this tour. Are there any this year? Saw Norah Jones open for them many years ago in Va Beach she was a pleasant surprise.

    It's been years since they've had an opener anywhere except the Gorge.
