Re: ***Official Camden 2016 Thread***

theres plenty of hotels along route 73 that are only a short drive to the closest riverline station, mt laurel and cherry hill are places i would totally recommend staying near. we always drive there and tailgate being as it's my friends and i's home venue. but staying anywhere near highway 73 would put you on the right path for a short train ride over to the veune. hope this helps!

    Thanks so much! Staying in Cherry Hill and tailgating is definitely nice. There's a good chance I'll be staying there again this year, just trying to keep my options open.

    So excited! Once the tour dates come out all that goes through my head until June is "dave....dave....dave....dave...dave".

    Question for Camden veterans: How difficult are pit tickets to get in the TM/LN regular sale? Is it easy like Bristow or is it next to impossible?

    My brother and I have been heading down to Camden the past 3/4 summers. Prior to last year there was absolutely 0 disappointment. Some of the best sets I have ever seen (ie N2 2013). We convinced our buddy to make the journey with us because we had met Dave down there and experienced some amazing shows.

    2015 was slightly different. Yes the shows were not top tier (although N1 with Warren was great and that LIOG still gives me chills when listening to it-Boyd was on point and inside was rocking). The weather was not great (however we tailgated in a warehouse for N2-pretty f'ing awesome). I still saw it as a successful trip.

    Love that they still get the 2 show treatment after being a 3 show stop. Love the venue. Will absolutely be back down this summer.

    I'm not sure I understand all the hating on this show. True, the weather was awful -- and the encore a little bit of a letdown -- but we had covered seats so maybe that was why we otherwise were able to make the best of it. Nothing terribly surprising set list wise but loved the stone, typical, crush, so right, rapunzel, best of whats around. In fact, BOWA might have been one of my favorite versions of it that I have personally seen live.

    Maybe its just because I have been going to shows for nearly 20 years (God I am old), but after experiencing the brutal heat and set list that was Hershey 2005, its hard for me to ever feel robbed again --

    Glad i could help! if you find the lanky college kid with the DMB tanktop on ill buy you a beer!

    First time heading to Camden. What's the tailgate like? How early are you allowed in the lots? Any goofy rules about tailgating that we newbies should know?

    most of us pregame at bars, since we usually stay on the philly side and ferry over. the tailgating scene is pretty standard, the lots are mostly located around warehouses and such, so it's kinda a strange vibe, but still fun.

    Considering making this a weekend along with the Bristow Dead show.

    All I've heard about Camden is the horror stories about the hood. Is it "safe" as long as you actually drive to the venue?

    Would definitely be a lawn weekend, so hopefully it's somewhat tame.

    Marauding bands of thieves roam the streets looking for unsuspecting victims. Beware of wild packs of hungry, rabid dogs. All semblance of society has broken down and there is no rule of law.

    Other than that, lovely venue!

    i've driven in to the shows before...it's sketchy, but as long as you come and go with the regular concert crowd, there's nothing to worry about. safety in numbers.

    No reason to worry about the neighbor"hood"....MAYBE unless you end up exiting with NO other cars, and go the wrong way through a sketchy area. . Immediately surrounding the venue is fine - just jam packed with DMB fans.

    If you're planning to do lawns, try to get as close to the center and front as possible. You get pretty good sight lines and sound IMO, and I've found there are more fans of the band in this general area. If you stray towards the back of the lawn or the extreme sides you find a lot of teenyboppers looking to rage....my guess is they want the easy bathroom access lol.

    Rumor has it that tickets are going to be like double the price because they aren't touring next year. I decided not to renew my WH membership this year so I'm doing through TM. Any idea if the rumors are true?

    Got confirmed for Pit N1 but declined N2.

    Also, if anyone has 1 WH N1 Camden Pit they want to trade for my 1 WH N2 Gilford Pit, let me know! I will be at the Camden and Gilford shows.

    As I understand it, seniority doesn't get you into a section (uppers or lowers), but determines seats once you are in those sections. A '99 acct has the same chance of getting lowers as a new member, but once selected, the '99 acct would get "better" lower seats. At least that's how I think it works.
