See yall in the PIT, super pumped for Hartford!!!

[socccerr8]

So I got the $85 reserved seating. My big question is, the warehouse wouldn't give out the upper pavilion triple numbered rows would they? Those tickets are available pretty easily up until the show, Id be pissed if I do.

[grilldanmo]

My wife pulled Hartford AND SPAC N2 Pits.

Holy shit, we've never gotten pits before and now we've got two shows this summer!!!

[steve4134]

Yes they would, 115 price range went up to GG last year so pretty good chance they are triple letter

Hellllo warehouse pits!

[usurpers26]

Once seat assignments get posted, if anyone has some nice lowers (200) let me know - willing to trade 2 x pits. Tix are not nor will ever be for sale.

Shocked I got pit for Hartford, never happened before. I'm sure this has been discussed many times, but what's the pit like in Hartford? Crowded?

Last year was our first Hartford show, we had some uppers (row UU, last row before the walkway split) which were cool. The pit looked HUGE. My wife is short, so I'm worried about her view should we not get the rail (and we're not likely to get the rail). We're trying to figure out whether we'll keep them or trade them for good seats... I'm not that tall either (5' 10") so unless we were closer in the pit it might not be worth it.

There is room off to the sides.

How do you do the pit in Hartford? What's your strategy for positioning and such?

Also, was last year an anomaly as far as the issue with getting everyone into the pit? I read/heard about the complaints related to getting in and some folks missing the better part of the first two songs...

[dahpissah]

I got declined for Hartford, but got pit for Mansfield. First time trying for Hartford too.

Well, Hartford is one of my favorite tailgates, so I don't rush in. I generally show up only a few minutes before show time and kind of just find a place. I'm not the type that needs to be rail or anything like that. I just try to find an open place off to the sides and run with it.

I go in later than most and was still in before the opening song. It was a bit more crowded than usual last year.

Do you think it'll be more even crowded this year with no NH shows?

Can't speak to that, unfortunately. I hope not. I've been in much worse pits.

[Cozmic135]

Hartford Pit last year was crowded! We also missed the first 2 songs waiting in the bracelet line. We never rush in from our tailgate and in all of my years this is the first year I’ve ever missed a song trying to get into the pit. We do go in before the show starts but this past year was just ridiculous.

If you get a spot on the back rail it might be easier for your wife to see. Also nice to lean against and there are little shelves for drinks.

I'm pretty sure this happened in 2016 too! Annoying as FUCK

Night and day pits too

Stay to the left at Hartford for more room

[ccarey23]

I've got 2 Extra Tix to Hatford. Sec 600 face.

[steve4134]

What row ?

[willndmb]

How is the incline at this venue?
Would short people/kids be able to see from lower reserves?

Yea I don't think it will be an issue. My wife and I were first row behind pit in 2016 and she didn't have an issue. She's only 5'2".

[GPK68]

Have a pit pair available, looking for a $115 SPAC n1 pair if anyone is interested.

[socccerr8]

Not mad at all. Ill take saving $30 compared to getting a lower with Warehouse giving me a middle pavilion JJ for Hartford. Prob have to invest that in getting SPAC tickets if Friday isn't successful.

[MOB23]

The warehouse blows. Section 700 LL for the $115 face value tickets

This is not new to 2019. I'm amazed people still request tickets through them.

We got Hartford and SPAC N2 Pits from WH this year. We got ZERO tix from TM/LN...it’s a lottery, but when it pays off it’s preferable to dealing directly w/ TM.

What that don't sound right. I got section 800 Row JJ for $85 off warehouse. I get that your more centered but technically Im 2 rows closer than yours.

[grilldanmo]

Getting antsy (no pun...) to see the band. Hartford will be our second show of the season (Mansfield is #1), but our first pits... Not sure if we'll like the experience, especially in such a huge pit. Staying positive with only marginal concern about the infamous rail assholes...
