We're entitled to more because we've been, um... Pumping money into this band for numerous years... If there's one thing in the world that in fact DOES grant you an entitlement to something, it's having supported that thing financially for longer than other people. Get over ourselves?!?! Get the fuck over yourself, you douches.
I've put several thousand of dollars into this band over the years (if not tens of thousands) through tickets, WH fees, albums, etc... The one thing that should be provided to me by them/management is an upper hand over people who have not supported them in the same tax bracket as I have.
I have a hard time seeing this working out in the long run, because I think there's going to be fights/drug and alcohol abuse/general obnoxious behavior in these GA areas that will encourage DMB and management to get rid of it, hopefully after only this year's tour.
It's not right that people have been paying shit tons of money to this band for years upon years to reach this point where they can get good seats, and now they're getting pushed back. That's completely unfair.
Brian, I'm sorry about Hershey. For a place that has great shows almost annually in spite of the design, this rule change is almost a death sentance for it as a die-hard fan concert. I've been to Hershey more than any other venue to see this band, and this is terrible, terrible news. You should take a weekend vacation and travel somewhere else... I don't think Hershey is worth it with this rule in place.

Damn, dont think Ive seen you this fired up about,w ell, about anything on here.
Yeah, I really enjoy Hershey. Mainly because of its proximity to my house, and therefore, my bed, but we still usually get pretty good shows there (2005 and 2009 notwitstanding). Especially considering its a glorified football field with a stage at the end.
But this has just destroyed any chance of scoring a decent seat. Im not a Warehouse member so I would go through them anyway, but you can generally get 4-8 reserved seats by calling the Giant Center BO the day they go on sale. Now? Who the fuck cares--Ill just get whatever is left.
Finally, this year I have about 12-15 friends that actually want to go to the concert (mainly because Zac Brown is opening--that's central PA for ya) and we're all gonna have to slam in together and hope for a decent, um, spot. Having to choose between tailgating and getting a shitty spot is just awful in every possible way. Its not like there are alternatives. Its $80 GA, or its not worth going at all.
I realize this is specific to Hershey, but Hershey still counts and they should have evaluated each venue on a case-by-case basis before implementing a broad-based rule like this.
