God, I still can't believe I have seats for N2. After seeing the photos it's pretty obvious that any seat is a good seat in this place!

    Any seat is a good place, but outside of Sections 40, 1, 2 and 3 you just can't beat rocking out in the balcony when you have friends all in a group up there. It's so awesome, the view, the audio/sonics, just awesome.

    In 2009 we had 10 people in 6 spots. We had I think Section 7 or something, went up to balcony and offered people beside our friends our tickets to upgrade so we could sit with them, they were thrilled...so were we!

    (Maybe Section 7 would have been better by ourselves, but when you can sit with friends in a group it was worth trading down for)

    This is our plan this year. There's 4 of us going and we have 2 pairs to each night, so unless 1 of the pairs is unbelievable we plan on offering to let people upgrade so we can all sit together.

    Paperless ticketing wins. It's amazing DMB aren't doing it yet, the scalping is atrocious.

    Have a read of this article - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-0...et-battle.html

    63% reduction in StubHub seats for the shows doing paperless than the shows that were not. That's huge!

    Again, let me encourage all of you to politely write to RLM. If John Mayer, Soundgarden, Bruce Springsteen and Miley Cyrus can get great results (I think Radiohead also have done it) then DMB should be doing it too. The only people this doesn't benefit are StubHub, eBay and the secondary ticketing market. (And of course TM/LN who make money from the secondary market as well...but they have to be the ones to start making it right again)

    Well then I'll be the first to "volunteer". I have 2 seats in sec 29, row J, seats 3-4.

    From what I've read in this thread I'm lucky to even score seats, but I'll be going with my wife on the night of our 10th anniversary... I couldn't believe it when they announced the tour dates....ten years to the day that we danced to Lover Lay Down as our first dance! I'm gonna try to get better seats however I can.

    And if someone can sneak a word in to the band...please play LLD

    Sweet, congrats!

    In a few weeks I will start having dreams about going to the shows. It happens to me every summer after I buy tickets. As the date for the show nears I have more and more dreams about being there and meeting the band.

    I camped at Moreau State Park the last two tours with a group of people and It was a great time. Booked a site this year the day the dates were announced.

    We have stayed there the last 3 years of SPAC shows. Great campgrounds!

    I suggest wondering out to the diner just north of Corinth (Mollie's Mason Jar) for breakfast Saturday/Sunday morning.

    So I'm gonna take my car to Monro Muffler on Monday where I purchased my tires last April. They are gonna check my tire tread depth and rotation records. Gonna see if they meet their warrant specs, I'm gonna guess they will find a loop hole. I've only put 16,000 miles on the tires.

    I don't think I've ever gotten into the show and actually wanted to have another beer!

    We have a big seating chart somewhere that actually has all the seats written on it, we used it to show where everyone was sitting for several previous SPAC events.

    Perhaps Matt has it somewhere along with the countdown.

    We have a big seating chart somewhere that actually has all the seats written on it, we used it to show where everyone was sitting for several previous SPAC events.

    Perhaps Matt has it somewhere along with the countdown.
    I honestly need something during the show to hold on to.. its like dave with his guitar, even though hes doesnt play it half the time he still has it on him. Hope they have those tall twisted tea cans again no homo.. I use the can as my microphone

    Exactly! You gotta do it right during tailgating.

    Love having a beer or four during the show. Plenty of opportunities to go grab some with this band now.
