Totally agree. if you don't mind driving, Clifton Park is a great place to save some $$ on a hotel. The area has plenty going on, just not as walk-able as Saratoga is. I HIGHLY recommend J&S Watkins (its in Clifton Park) if you like cheesecake.

    Just booked this thanks! Was at Comfort Inn for $200/night so this is MUCH better.

    Curious, how many people here with WH accounts set one of the SPAC nights to their priority? I stopped doing this a few years ago and switched to Hartford. I now almost always get Hartford pits. 2 years ago I managed to get confirmed for a pair of reserves for each night of SPAC (they were shitty shitty seats, but nonetheless inside) without using my priority on SPAC. Is priority worth it for SPAC? My oldest WH account is only 2010.

    People say priority is useless, no idea. Last year I set Gorge N3 pit for priority and got it.

    I used priority on SPAC and got pit. I just got really lucky - I had very good seats my first time there.

    I just figured most people probably use their priority on spac so it’s not even worth it.

    10,000?!?

    I figure that 2/3rds of the world's population is online trying for SPAC tickets at 10 AM of the public onsale date.

    I usually use it but don't have much luck. Got pit one year but other than that I am usually stuck in the last few rows for one night and declined the other.

    If everyone uses it, doesn't that mean you kind of have to as well to keep the same odds?

    I do SPAC n1 as priority as that's usually random seating IF you get selected for tix.

    I wouldn't join WH just for SPAC.
    I also don't feel priority has much impact at SPAC.
    The demand is so high you just have to be lucky as hell and I feel like you wasted money and a chance for better tix at another venue.

    the whole new select your tickets bullshit, instead of just getting tickets carted is gonna be an entirely new level of frustration and anger. It's fucking stupid.

    The warehouse gets less and less tickets each year

    Hundreds request with no intention of going

    Trading season gets fucking ridiculous (last row of balcony N2 for trade of Gorge pits only )

    The premium ticket pool keeps expanding

    Platinum seating fucks the entire pool up

    Yeah well with the new waiting room, my usual livenation ticket strategy is shot out the window.

    Probably end up doing lawn now at SPAC.

    Hey there everyone,

    My brother and I are determined to get to SPAC this year. I've been researching and learning much from the threads. I'm researching the best way to go about successfully getting SPAC tickets, lawn or pavilion. I'll obviously put in my WH requests when the time comes (wouldn't hurt). If that fails, I've seen people suggest using ticket forums for potential offers. I've also seen people use the facebook group, DMB Ticket Swap, for SPAC tickets. Are there any other avenues I have not mentioned? Any advice is appreciated, thanks group!

    You won't have any issue getting lawn tickets. Its the pavilion that is tough to get. Sounds like you got your bases covered.

    You won't have any issue getting lawn tickets. Its the pavilion that is tough to get. Sounds like you got your bases covered.
    Thank you for the quick reply. I see, so the pavilion is the difficult part. Let's say we want to buy pavilion tickets only, what would be the smartest step-by-step process?

I'm researching the best way to go about successfully getting SPAC tickets, lawn or pavilion. I'll obviously put in my WH requests when the time comes (wouldn't hurt). If that fails, I've seen people suggest using ticket forums for potential offers. I've also seen people use the facebook group, DMB Ticket Swap, for SPAC tickets. Are there any other avenues I have not mentioned? Any advice is appreciated, thanks group!
    Get a citicard. For the past several years, citi card members get presale access through ticketmaster a few days before the general public. It's still difficult to get tickets, but at least it's an extra chance. This is what I always do:

    1. WH Request.
    2. Citi Presale
    3. Ticketmaster public sale.
    4. Warehouse ticket exchange, cashortrade.org, ant's ticket exchange, and DMB ticket facebook groups.
    5. Always check ticketmaster when you have some extra time. Sometimes you can catch a ticket drop.
    6. Beg in this thread.
    7. Be on alert for the warehouse instant ticket email.
    8. If you still don't have tickets the day or two before the shows, stalk ticketmaster because there will be ticket drops.
