I’d really love to get a group at a Pavillion or something this summer, if it’s safe to do so, to watch the Drive in the week SPAC was supposed to be.

Calm down bud. Maybe I’ll restore some order while I’m at it.

Better than nothing, I guess

I hope things are such that we can safely do concerts next year. Once that's clear we'll get back in the game for tix...for both shows.

Stay safe all. We'll miss Saratoga this year, lovely city in my favorite state.

There's a section 13 single for N1 available on ticketmaster right now.

Eight years ago at SPAC... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlcsHcPRnU4

Reliving this one right now. Also of note, today's the anniversary of Live Trax 38. In case you're looking for some tunes, make it a SPAC Monday!

Is the lawn really as bad as some say it is?

Its a bad lawn, compared to other lawns. Is it doable in a worst case scenario? I guess. I personally wouldn't consider it an option until the very last minute (like 8:00 pm day of).

Are those tickets readily available at 8pm day of show? I may indeed need to know this, because i have PIT for N2, and if i'm driving all that way, I'm going to both shows, but would REALLLLLLY prefer to not sit on the lawn if avoidable.

Those tickets will absolutely still be there. There are usually TM drops for N1 inside seats day of.

So not worth it to travel to and be on the lawn. I might try to get lucky with the WH lotto for 22 cause I'm not paying those prices on TM

You can get a decent feel for it at about 2:15 and 4:00 of this video (not my video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YMBgjbPAd8

It is usually jammed packed. The further back you go, the more comfortable you'll be but your line of sight to the stage will decrease dramatically.

I've done it before. If I had to choose skipping Spac or going lawn, I'd go lawn. If you can find reserves for one night, then I think it makes dealing with the lawn the other night much easier.

[daveshookme]

If you find the right spot on the lawn, with a group of friends and not surrounded by asshats, I think the lawn is awesome. When everybody's into the show and in sync with each other it's really quite something.

I've done the lawn multiple, multiple times. Have never hated it.

[cry_minarets458]

I have never let the lawn at spac deter me from going. I think my last three shows at spac, i was lawn, in various places each time. it's just about having fun. I always try to get a seat, but it's hard to get seats with friends, so we usually just go lawn. more fun, easier, can make it what you want it to be.


edit: whole point of my post was to say hi and saw the recent lawn talk hi spac

[dontdrink36]

Thanks guys. My concert buddies are my fiance and our 7 year old son. She hates being in the middle of unorganized large groups. That video doesnt look like a good time for her. I may do a request for SPAC 22 and if I get incredibly lucky then ho or I might try to go solo and meet up with some of you fine people. But the trip to SPAC is too expensive to put my fiance in that lawn where she would be miserable.

Getting 3 reserve seats together is near impossible unless you have a connection or pay a premium.

I'm well aware how difficult it is to get seats. I'd hate to leave my son out of the trip but that be the only option for getting seats.

I really want to do SPAC. It's the only big DMB venue I havent been to besides Red Rocks.

[Cscottrun]

Can any Saratoga locals speak to how it is up there in town? Contemplating a trip up with some friends but we don't want to come up if 3/4 of the restaurants are closed (outdoor seating is fine). Down here on Long Island pretty much every restaurant has added some form of outdoor seating. Is it the same up there?

Last I saw they had streets shut down on weekends for expanded outdoor dining, but even without that they're allowing dining on sidewalks. I haven't been up there yet this summer (was supposed to be up there, you know, next weekend) but I have no doubt they're doing the most they can. Albany's been shutting down sidewalks and closing off parking lanes when possible. Saratoga should be different from normal, but at least suitable.

I'll second this - because Myrtle Beach is apparently a Petri dish, and now I'm looking for options on how to get out of town for a few days here in Pittsburgh...

I really, really want to get a group of us together at a SPAC pavilion together next week for the Drive In. Doesn't really look like it's happening.... yet.

[Bearclaw_]

So, super bummed but can't make it to SPAC in 2021.

Have pavilion seats, 1 each night.

Friday, 7/9/21 - Warehouse ticket, section 9, row LL
Saturday, 7/10/21 - ticketmaster, Sec 13, Row KK, Seat 9

Warehouse obviously won't send out the tickets until next year and ticketmaster hasn't reprinted (not a digital ticket, some new crappy mini hardcopy) them yet.

SO, this is insanely early and who knows what next year is like, but anyone that is interested, PM me. First come, first serve, face value. I figure I'll just mark you down and we'll figure out the payment/ticket next summer.
