Can't say I'm shocked at this point one bit.

I heard of someone paying $1900 for a PIT wristband day of n1.

I’ve been going to SPAC for over 20+ years never ever been in the PIT, let alone for for face value tickets.

I now have TONS of first hand experience! Bike shared all over town and to and from the shows all weekend. You may have heard my bike bell ding as I passed by. Bonus...the bike share app I downloaded works in my hometown too!

Pro tip: Do not leave your phone in your pocket when you ride.

Mine fell out, was run over (90% sure by Dave's tour bus ), and turned into the hotel by a fellow fan. Had to spend a couple hours driving down to Albany and back to make a swap at the Apple store but just a minor inconvenience over the course of a great weekend.

Forget who mentioned the Livenation seat delivery but let me just say...THANK YOU! I will likely use it more in the future but my test run SPAC N2 was great. Beer and pizza delivered to my seat in a matter of minutes. Needless to say the people around me were also blown away that this was even possible.

For the price those people paid Dave should have pulled out all the stops

Wonder if he just doesn’t want to get full band up to speed or add more songs into rotation

He probably doesn't. That'd take more work. He doesn't want to be pushed by Lillywhite in the studio to make better albums. He took 1 single take to record the trainwreck TGIY. He seems intent on limiting the % of the catalog that gets played.

It's not great.

It shouldn't be this way. Sure, not every show has to be crazy , off the chain, but C'mon....


Reality is mediocre stuff is passed off as great now for DMB.

Call them on mediocrity and you're the asshole.

Mission Asshole accepted.

What is this sorcery?? Available at all livenation venues??

I’ve been going to SPAC for over 20+ years never ever been in the PIT, let alone for for face value tickets.

My wife joined the WH in Sept or so of last year to get tix for the Fall tour. She put in for Pit for:

-- Hartford
-- SPAC N1
-- SPAC N2

She got SPAC N2. We got the rail with some great folks around us and it was incredible. I was right in front of the small speaker stack just between Buddy and Tim, with my wife just to left. We've never heard Dave's voice so clearly in and amphitheater before. We also picked up Carter's IEM a bit here and there.

We now want Pits for every show, knowing that not every pit or group within said pit will be as amicable as we experienced. Still trying for a pair for Bristow. We are, however, also realists and doubt we'll ever be so lucky again. It won't stop us from trying though.

I told you how to get pits for Bristow but you're just not trying to hear me, Bromeo! HMPF!!!

cant wait to hear N2!

[Cozmic135]

Has anyone seen the Buddy selfie from N1? I'm trying to hunt this down because I think we or some of our group might* be in it... I might not have been over far enough but I know JoeM jumped up for it in the video I watched this morning which means Marc, Edly, Cheryl, James, Burkey or Terra could also be in it.

[Cozmic135]

Leg 2 of my roadtrip has been planned!

Vegas --> Zion to hike Angel's Landing --> Horseshoe Bend --> Page --> Antelope Canyon --> Monument Valley --> Grand Canyon North Rim -- Kanab --> Valley of Fire -- Vegas.

Now, I'm working on Leg 1. WHOOOOOP. So excited!

It’s not hard to get pit for shows that aren’t spac or dte. But pit is miserable for other shows! Not the same experience at all. Did pit 3/5 shows last week and each one was a completely different experience.

Can’t believe no one has posted it in the fam or responded to my requests for it!!

Been slacking at work for the the past two days...no one was dropping a pair when I could get to them. Happened during my commute and dinner yesterday. We've upgraded to the better seats in 103, but that's probably where we'll stay.

That's what we assumed as well. It's really only SPAC that we'd want to Pit going forward, which essentially means we won't ever again...as we want WH pits.

It was an awesome experience. We have no complaints. We were so into the show, we failed to do an in show set of selfies for our "scrapbook".

S'all good though.
-- Getting JTR again was awesome.
-- Dave's voice sounded very good.
-- Jeff and Tim are monsters.
-- Buddy's a lot of fun.
-- Carter is obviously either a god or an alien.
-- Fonz is the most solid and grooving melodic foundation one could ever hope for.
-- Rashwan keeps growing one me.

Still an amazing band.

When I connected to the SPAC venue free WiFi I was immediately redirected to this webpage (https://www.livenation.com/wifi/?venue=KovZpaFP3e) which offered the option of seat delivery. There were choices from a simple candy bar all the way to full bottles of wine. They asked for my id to confirm age before handing my beer over. Prices appeared to be the same as the venue stand prices. Using the web link you might be able to browse the menu right now, it worked for me.

Note: I could not figure out how to use the Live Nation App to get seat delivery. I used the web browser to complete my order.

You have a show/ rail crush right now, you'll get over it.

SPAC pits are extremely brutal to obtain.

We are well aware of both of these things, but it was a completely different experience than Hartford...we were worried after CT. We’d do SPAC WH pits again in a nanosecond despite that.

You’ll note that we are under no illusion that it’ll ever happen again...

I had LN pits each night and had rail right in front of the horns both nights.

Did you also have WH lawns to get early entry?
