DaaaaaaAAAAaaAAAVvvVEEEE!!!! <3

lol... didn't see any threads for this venue yet, so I thought I'd start one. The gf and I will be here

Don't see a LiveNation listing for this gig (or Bristow, for that matter)... anyone know if another site is handling the ticketing this year?

    I'll hopefully be there with my GF as well, we are going to sit lawn due to the cost being outrageous for two night in seats and Bristow being the night before.

    Misses to be and I will be making the trek from Bristow to Va beach as well. Thinking of shooting down right after the show Saturday night, checking in late and sleeping in since I hear the tailgating bites. Any suggestions?

    tailgating sucks, but you can party in that park down the road, princess anne or something. as far as the venue goes, same exact thing as nissan.

    edit: only good news is that you arent far from the beach

    I saw Zac Brown here this past fall...It's an alright venue, definitely not my favorite, but it's dmb, I'd see them anywhere, anytime. The tailgating does indeed suck, as others have mentioned. And by it sucks I mean it's nonexistent. Other than that, it should be fun. Va beach is pretty awesome, stay a couple days and you'll have a great time.

    The only thing that would bring ME to the opposite coast - dmb of course. The one and only reason I'll ever be in washington state, haha.

    Little brother in DC = reason to go to the other coast!

    Plus if I did not do this run would have no new venues this year and I am not OK with that. Never happened since I started in 2001.

    will be my 5th show down here...it will be good to be back at the beach for dMb


    as everyone said...most people have bad experiences with the security in the venue.
    if you want to tailgate do it at princess anne...its pretty big and thats what people do every year, just keep your stuff in a solo cup (i have never been harassed in the years i've been there)


    is anyone thinking of doing the travel package thru the WH? the fact that i will be guaranteed a poster is making me think about it (but this venue is not one of the most insane when it comes to posters)

    Saw 5 shows in Va Beach while I was living there, they played some really good shows but the crowds always seem to lack excitement. I would say 2 of the 5 shows I saw the crowd was really into it.

    I'm doing the same thing, minus the Jones Beach show. I live in VA Beach, and there's not much tailgating allowed around here, unless you do it at princess anne. Last time we just kept it low key in the lots with solo cups, and no cops bothered us.

    Live about 2hrs from venue and brother lives in Norfolk, so I'll have a place to crash close to venue. This will be first time at this venue to see Dave and the boys and looking forward to it. Don't care that much about the tailgating, I come to see Dave and not travel for hours, pay $$$ for tickets just to get S-faced.

    I agree about the getting shitfaced, it is pretty nice to walk into the show with a good buzz going however

    Anyone have any recent experiences w/the lot scene? I know the venue lot itself is awful, and has been for years. Like my non-drinking brother and his non-drinking GF being threatened for eating Subway behind their car bad.

    But I went to the show on July 4 a few years back, and they had a nice sized grass lot just outside of the venue's lots...which wasnt regulated. The entire place was under construction...any clue if this still exists?

    Wife will be 5 months preggers when we head to this...and Id rather go here than Nissan/the Lube, but if I cant throw a few down, at all, it aint worth it.
