Re: *** Official Philadelphia D&T 2017 ***

Do we know if the Ants gathering will be there? Or if one of the guys (Joe, Matt, etc.) will be there? I would love to duplicate a simple Ants gathering at the tailgate.....

    Judging by the comments on the last page, I assume we should have received WH tickets for this in the mail by now?

    All those tickets-received comments were from back in March, so LN/TM. Warehouse doesn't ship the Philly shows until this week

    Ah, got it. Thank you

    I thought WH shipping two months early seemed weird and not like them but admittedly I haven't followed the tours this year at all and thought maybe something changed

    This thread has been relatively dead these past few months so I'm not sure if there are a lot of Ants going to these shows.

    Re: *** Official Philadelphia D&T 2017 ***

    We're going to N2 and staying at the Hilton at 4200 City Ave which is walkable to the show. Trying to figure out if it's better to tailgate or bar hop before the show. But I'm not seeing much in the way or likely bars around the venue. Anyone have suggestions or just tailgate?
    Thanks

    Rec'd my tickets today. Really can't wait for the shows. Should be a blast and the best venue (in my humble opinion) on this tour. This Mann center is pretty remarkable this time of year and there is some history Dave and Tim may look to live up to!

    Getting pumped for this trip! Hoping for some solid shows. a few surprises would be nice (Dodo, Dreaming Tree, Raven, Cry Freedom)but I'm not holding my breathe. Always cool to check out venues you've never been to.

    I can't quite swing the Friday show logistically, so hopefully all of those you mentioned hold off until the Saturday show!...never been to Mann Center either, looks pretty sweet

    You can do whatever you want. They are awesome! Lots are grass/park and it's like a backyard BBQ when you get there. So different than Camden. You may never go back to Hershey after these shows! lol

    putting beer in a cup is always the safest bet but I've had open bottles/cans just sitting by my vehicle and had no problems.

    I have a "funny" story about canopies there. For Phish one time when we pulled up to pay for parking the attendant gave us a parking pass first. Then she turned around to say something to a coworker, then turned back, took our money and gave us a second pass. We kept it. Cut to: I'm putting the canopy up and a different attendant comes over telling me I need second pass for the canopy. I go "oh, I got one right here!" And he was kind of surprised. I don't know if A) He was joking B) he was trying to shake me down for more money or C) if we seriously needed to pay another $20 for the canopy


    LONG story short I have used one in the lots and see other people do it. But it's best to be parked along a tree line as they don't seem to mind if you put one up there. If you're in the middle of the field they're gonna park a car next to you. Also if get there early enough you can almost pick your spot.

    In the Random DMB thread there was some talk of what guests people would like to see at D&T which got me thinking about The Mann shows

    Thinking of Philly local musicians that don't have gigs booked that weekend:

    G.Love
    Amos Lee
    The Roots Picnic is June 3rd which means a ton of musicians could be in town the night before

    When I called the venue last month they told me 1:00. Might want to check to confirm. But that's when I plan on arriving.

    Do you mean have a beer while you wait in line? You can do that. If you mean tailgating like sitting by your car in the parking lot you can do that as well.

    I'm fairly sure it's by the main gate.

    Theoretically, sunrise. It's in a park, so it's open pretty much all day.

    Yes. They are either the same lot or right next to each other. There is a massive statue/fountain/rotary and VIP is right across from that. The main gate is maybe 100 feet away.

    If you want to get into the venue itself easily as opposed to being herded like cattle through the main gate, I highly recommend entering through the entrance at the back of the lawn (there is also parking there).

    AND, if you want to check out the show, but don't have a ticket, you can hang out just outside that rear entrance and still hear the show pretty well.
    The loop here on Georges Hill Dr is the entrance I'm talking about.
