    This will be my first year going to WPB. The wife really likes the beach, and wanted to go, so we added it on to our list. Really looking forward to it!

    Nice. First year at WPB as well. Have family in Ft Lauderdale, so makes it pretty convenient.

    I haven't stayed there before . Its close to the beach so it should be pretty good. Stayed at the PGA resort one year. It was very nice. They had a DMB cover band by the pool.

    We are coming from Dallas to do the two night stand at WPB for the first time. How is the venue, pit tailgate, etc.? Is it hard to get pit tickets via the citi pre sale? Looking forward to it.

    venue is nice, standard amphitheater with a larger than normal VIP area to accommodate the Trump Jr.'s.

    tailgates can be fun but you're usually dodging heavy rains and thunderstorms, last years shows started late.

    Pit is one of smallest on tour, almost impossible to get a ticket.

    This is the only venue I actually love the lawn at. The roof is raised and the sound carries in the heat. Always a beautiful sunset, a very fun crowd, etc. Great sightline. I've sat there several times and it was fantastic.

    I booked the Best Western in town based on the rumor. I love getting free personal rooms from accruing all those hotel points for business trips.

    Heading back down this year! Had a great time in 2013. Spent a lot of time in the area as a kid when my grandparents were around.

    Ended up booking the Hilton Garden Inn (West Palm Beach Airport) instead of the Fairfield. Used my HHonors and got a pretty good deal on the room.

    Making my first trip to WPB this year, staying on the beach at Hilton Singer Island....anybody else?

    Is it wise to request tix for WPB through Warehouse or is it usually uppers?
