Re: **Official Tampa/West Palm Swing 2019 Thread**

So, Tampa Pit. I hear it's big. But do they oversell it or is there some breathing room?

Does the warehouse line usually get walked into the pit in the order everyone showed up, or is it a mad dash from the gate?

Any other pit tips or experiences people can share about Tampa specifically?

First time in the pit at this venue.

    Huge pit. Plenty of breathing room. I usually head in a few minutes before they come on and chill towards the back. I'm not a rail guy so no idea about that. But it's definitely a great, laid back pit experience.

    You’ll have space.

    As for the line... that was kind of a shit show last year. For one, some douchebag stole the pit wristbands. Don’t remember how they worked around that but I think everyone had to get re-banded.

    The other thing that happens is the LN staff will, at first, have no idea that there are people with non-WH pits and will tell ALL pit people to get in the same WH line.

    Then like 15 minutes before gates, there will be a huge commotion and they’ll announce that that line is only for WH pits. Then they make everyone who waited in that line with LN pits go to the back of the LN line.

    What I found last year, was that the majority of the early entry WH folks went straight for the merch and beer because the pit was still pretty fucking empty when they let regular tickets in as I was still able to get a spot 2 rows back in front of Dave.

    Great tailgating scene. We get there when the lot opens up. Gummy Worms, Picklebacks, beer pong.

    Tampa has been the best show I attended in both 2016 and 2018! The venue is great too. 2015 was close but WPB beat it that year. Last year, WPB was a huge let down night 2 with all the repeats but I love that trip so I'll continue to do it.

    Instant Ticketing when, Live Nation had no seats for months and I had to get 3rd party tickets because I was denied Saturday & Sunday.




    Neat.

    Probably against my better judgement but I passed on pits for both nights in WPB. I just have too much damn fun on that lawn with my shoes off.

    Instant tickets come from a separate pool. Keep an eye on TM, N2 will still have a drop for the Section 1 outside aisle lowers. They say "partial view" but that is strictly because of the angle. I've had those seats several times and I love them. You get a nice breeze and easy access to get drinks and run to the restroom.

    Scored a N2 pit pair on instants, pretty stoked. Happened to be looking at my phone the moment the email came in.

    I never knew that. I thought it was one pool. So many got denied so I jumped on reasonable priced tickets in the uppers. Shame I didn't know there would have been instant seats.

    Luckily the tickets for both nights were from WH members. I got uppers would have liked lowers. I am being a princess about it.

    Never feed the scalpers.

    oh trust me, you're not being a princess about it

    WPB has VIP seating where rich kids bring their dates and don't give a fuck about the show. So people pay VIP and Platinum prices without question. Lowers are extremely difficult to obtain, but can be had.

    It is the only place where I am regularly asked to sit down.

    I try to stay downtown so I can just walk to the bars at night.

    Avoid the Hilton by the airport at all costs. It’s been shut down multiple times over the past few years for bed bugs and roaches. They just can’t seem to get rid of them.
