TONS of information in the Facebook group, lots of hotel feedback and discussion if you want to read more.

I've been to all the big venues and done the Gorge multiple times. I've also traveled around the Caribbean and it was the best trip of my life.

I just bought a house 2 weeks ago that is in major need of repairs and endless projects, so I'm not sure I'm buying during the presale but we probably will. We are 99% in, just waiting on another contractor estimate to see what we are in for house wise....

    Very on the fence about this.

    From what I've read here, it seems like the entire venue is basically one huge GA PIT...is that correct?

    If so, I think it will be awesome for obvious reasons, but VERY worried to pay that kind of money and have my 5 ft tall girlfriend not being able to see a thing

    This is correct. You're standing just on the flat beach - there are no screens. I'm 5'6, so I understand the struggle. But it's also D&T... I don't know how much there is to really see. She can certainly hear it all. Trust me, I hate not being able to see. She will have to maneuver herself around, or stand back a bit where you an actually see over those who are tall.

    From the moment you went through customs and exited the airport, drivers were there with Dave & Tim signs to direct you to your shuttle where cold beers were waiting. You got to ride to the resort with other fans.

    Upon arrival they dropped you off at the CID check in area (again, just for DTRM attendees). They greeted you with champagne and passed cocktails and chilled towels. DMB music playing, made the entire check in process hassle free. Fans were all excited to be there, grabbing their tote bags and custom room keys and meeting up with friends. Concierges were onsite to make dinner reservations, they had chair massages, snacks, etc - all just in the mass check in area. It really felt like no detail was overlooked. I've worked in events and experiences (travel and events) for over 10 years and it was all very well done and top notch.

    To give you an idea I think CID told me they had over 250 staffers on site just focused on guest experience (not part of the venue crew).

    Each building area had a designated CID concierge to assist with anything you needed.

    (This was all at the Barcelo, the main host resort, I can't speak for the experience at other resorts). Everything was branded DTRM - custom room keys, signage everywhere. Custom maps and booklets. They had a tequila tasting with little glass branded glasses.

    Barcelo staff was walking around handing out cold waters, assisting and interacting with attendees.

    Each day by the main pool at Barcelo they had the openers perform during the day.

    When you arrived at the shows each night they had a whole decorated village set up, greeted with drinks as soon as you walked in, waiters walked around during the shows brining you drinks. They had a photo op experience on the beach and dressed performers walking around prior to the show. They had a homemade churro stand within the venue, and a whole outdoor dining area with different food stations - tacos, taquitos, nachos, vegetarian options,


    If you have ever been fortunate to attend a large corporate sales meeting or destination meeting for work (think Hawaii, Costa Rica, etc) it was on par or on that level of an event.

    Post show they handed out pizza as you were leaving and directed you to post show food and entertainment set up each night.


    Most of you reading this probably feel like eh, doesn't sound worth it, or big deal, but anyone that attended last year will tell you how pampered you felt and how you didn't feel like you had to worry about a THING.

    It was just unlike any other concert experience you could imagine.

    Which, is what CID presents does - they are a concert experience company.

    This was not FYRE festival lol. This was well organized and executed.

    what a sell you did joined the FB group, thanks for setting that up!

    Is all of the dmb Family there? If so that is a big red flag.

    Honestly I would consider it for dMb but no chance for D+T.

    I will say that MidwestGirl had a very convincing experience post.

    ^^^^ what Lexie said!

    There were lots of fanatics but plenty of middle of the road diehards and then surprisingly a LOT of casual fans. People that aren't on ants or in the DMB Facebook groups and have only been to a small handful of shows....

    I'm still dumbfounded when I think about all the people (hundreds?) that spent thousands for this trip and sat in line the entire weekend to get up front.

    People can do what they want with their money and time, but that was crazy to me.

    Wow. I don't even know how to react to that. Insanely moronic.

    We strolled in pretty late - between 6-7:30pm? Always got a great spot on the beach with plenty of room and easy in/out for bathroom breaks. No desire to be up front or center middle

    To pay that much money and not sleep in a bed, enjoy the beach, pool and endless drinks just so you can be 10feet closer to an artist you've likely already seen 20+ times at minimum, you have to be certifiably insane.

    Not for me, But I guess because of their self imposed sharpie system, they created a line down the beach and moved beach chairs to create a line. The barcelo staff actually waited on them bringing them drinks and water, and the line was right by the main party pool so people came down to the pool while waiting in line I guess?

    I've never done a pit line or even tried for rail (no interest), however mid day it didn't look as bad as it sounds. They were well taken care of and enjoying the beach and pool.

    By 3-4pm the line was all the way down the beach and more chaotic so those people further down were just standing in line. The people up front had sort of made their own community and party it seemed like.

    I went over there multiple times and told them they were all crazy and took some photos and video of their "line" earlier in the day and went back to the pool to our party.

    I guess my point is for those that love to wait in line for rail or whatever, I would imagine this scenario would be better than at gorge or alpine.

    Still not something I'm ever going to do. What a waste of a day.

    Yeah the tailgate/day drinking/party is half of the fun of shows. Put it on a beach with endless drinks and it's only amplified.
    To miss out on that after dropping 2k at least is just bananas.

    That's the railtards for ya.

    They have their own disgusting subculture.

    They hilariously thinks the band likes seeing their faces at every show because "my enthusiasm and vibes". And the band makes fun of them.

    I wouldn't risk bringing marijuana on a plane and certainly wouldn't drive. Good to know about the cigars.

    Look, it's only overpriced if you can't afford it.

    Aside from the resort and resort food, which is better than portrayed, the concert experience is unlike anything I've ever been a part of.

    You walk in to the concert, and there are sandcastles and mariachi bands and Aztecan dancers, etc. Since its all you can drink they will literally fill up any size cup with as much/little liquor as you want. There are servers walking around the entire show with drinks on trays, and you literally do not even need to move to continue getting hammered. Also, throughout the show, INSIDE THE SHOW, there is a full buffet in addition to several taco bars. They have a team of mexicans cleaning the porta potty's continuously and spraying your hands with sanitizer and handing out paper towels. Did I mention this is on the beach on the ocean?

    Talk about it's a waste of money and overpriced all you want. If you don't care for D&T that's another thing. Realize though that a better concert experience does not exist. I couldn't imagine a better vacation in the middle of January

    At a regular show I'm a back of the pit kind of guy. I like having pit tickets but I'm not going to rush to get in line.

    Well the first few times I got pit I did but it was a small venue and the line wasn't that long and probably only waited on it for an less then an hour but it was worth it because it was pretty cool to be that close up to the band.

    But I would never wait that long like the people at the Mexico show to be close

    The barcelo grounds and the venue they build are beautiful. They must own half the beach down there, it's massive and so calm and clear.

    Well said on the experience. It's unlike any other concert experience.
