The excitement is already building!

Just booked the Red Roof Inn. Close to the venue, like four miles. Just not the most glamorous. It'll do for a night. Seems like they had plenty of rooms.

Someone pointed out a different pricing structure for another venue, in another thread so I thought I would check out Mansfield.

I dont ever remember sections 4-8 being the same price as PIT and 1-3 and then the uncovered seats being the next tier. I'm gonna look around for some older seating charts and see if they changed it.

Contemplating staying the night so I’m not hiking it back up to Chelmsford after sitting in traffic for god knows how long.

This is one of the venues where VIP parking or paying for parking in the lot right outside the venue are well worth it. Was on the highway in less than 10 mins the last time.

As posted in the Hartford thread...

Last year was a first Mansford/Hartfield b2b and we're looking forward to it again in 2019. VItR and SDL in MA and then Captain, SoL, and BBB in CT...two excellent and underrated shows from the summer. Again, can't wait to get back!

Yep I’ll be getting the VIP parking this year for sure.

Yeah, we bought the premium/VIP parking last year and got out within 10-15 minutes...to drive to our hotel in Hartford for the next show.

nice, another Friday. I remember the days they'd play Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Mansfield. Friday works better for sure.

I should really include parking info for Mansfield in my sig when I start this thread :lol Every year its the main topic of discussion

Re: *** Official Mansfield 2019 ***
 
Unless we hit Camden, this will be our first 2019 show...very much looking forward. Terrible food at the venue though, just awful.

Re: *** Official Mansfield 2019 ***
 
Today’s the day! Much excitement! This will be my first show of the year followed by SPAC. Hoping for pit in Mansfield which I hope to have way better of a chance of getting over SPAC which I totally realize is highly unlikely.

Request is in! Now the wait

Re: *** Official Mansfield 2019 ***
 
I've never seen a show @ Mansfield; Camden is the home turf for me. But I have a buddy who lives in NH that wants to hit the Mansfield show since they are stopping by Gilford. I requested 2 pit tix. Is it hard to get pit at Mansfield?

It's a decent sized pit, so its not impossible. I did it for the first time last year after requesting tickets the past 5 years (6 with this year). I have a newer account (2014).

Its all a crap shoot, but good luck! Double your chances if you can by both requesting. Pits are an easy off load if you both get them.

Posted this in teh Hartford thread, but have the same Q for Mansfield:

How has the draw been from WH requests? Keeping expectations low, but I was wondering what others experienced.

I think you have to take into consideration that there's no NH/ME stops this tour. That will probably have an impact on the number of WH requests for Mansfield... and maybe even Hartford to a lesser extent.

I may be wrong, but I believe they've built up a new plaza and hotel by the Jake and Joe's restaurant nearby. Have no idea what's in it but it's walking distance to Jake/Joe's and a 5 minute drive to Xfinity Center. I'm pretty sure there's a new hotel there too. It was a rundown area before with outdated stores, but looks nice now.

There's a Hampton Inn with a Starbucks next door. Looks like one of the better places to stay in the area.

Is there a Pizzeria Uno's in that plaza too?

I don't think so, but there is a Moe's Southwest Grill there.

Mansfield doesn't have a cavernous Hartford style pit does it?

I think SPAC is one of the only pits I'd ever be comfortable in and we all know how hard it is to score those. I always want the option to sit, although I rarely ever do as a DMB show. Even w/ the tunes I'm not interested in, it's time for a a water and a snack...so I'm walking, without fear of losing my place.

I enjoyed Mansfield's pit last year. I didn't feel like it was too crowded. Reasonable size. People around me were great. We had some last minute pushy Patty's, but they were not tolerated in my area.

I had to bump this thread as Mansfield was such a great show last year...

We got the only So Damn Lucky, one of two VItR, a great LIOG, the longest Typical of the tour, Jeff was on fire at these two dates...great show and solid set overall. Very looking forward to going back this summer...as long as we get confirmed.

Totally agree, also, that Typical was the longest by the band ever. That we know of at least.

Confirmed for lowers, although that’s the entire pavilion now so we will see how good they actually are

We got the uppers, which is where we were last year...uncovered seats. Great show, so looking forward to the New England back-to-back again!

See you all there!

Section 13 Row H...can't find last year's stubs...wait found the locs in our Cashortrade deal, section 10 row f. Now we'll be more centered with a more left leaning view.

Can't wait for our first DMB of 2019!!!
