    If you guys had to pick between Hollywood Bowl or Shoreline, what would you choose and why? We're looking at back of the pavilion/lawn seats. Thanks for any help/advice you can provide.

    The issue is the Hollywood Bowl is deceptively enormous and elevated. I would say it is as wide as a full stadium. So picture yourself in the upper stands behind one endzone looking at a band playing on the ground behind the other endzone, then add even more elevation and that's about what you are looking at. I'm pretty sure there are pictures on the HB website showing the view from up there.

    Shoreline I was at in 2007 so it could easily have changed but it is a pavilion like any other with the downside being it feels like a steep slope. I'm not sure about Lawn there.

    I have seen many shows at the Hollywood Bowl and find that at the back of the venue, there is this weird phasing thing thing that happens with the sound. Frequencies kind of drop out and then come back in. I haven’t noticed it so much closer up. My theory is that it is wind, but I can’t say that it is that for certain.

    I have never heard this sort of thing at any other venue.

    Don't do lawn at Shoreline. The views, where they actually exist, are terrible.

    Hopefully thread comes back to life.

    BATSON instagram. Says he's guesting with DMB at The Bowl for his bday. Will this bring the tour closer to a new awesome level? Or hinder the quality of the show?

    I think it will be Batson slamming on a piano key while Dave sings When I'm Weary.

    I might go to this show. Depends on what happens with me and work.

    Debating on driving in from PHX or flying.

    I am honestly intrigued by this. while I don't think he was the best fit for the band a a producer the man is talented with everything he does including playing instruments. If the band is willing to let loose, Mark can more then hang.

    I’ll be there! Hopefully we get a strong set. 2012 set for AFTW was pretty horrible.

    Mark Batson is guesting on some songs because the 11th is his birthday, so that’ll be cool to see. Hopefully he guests on non-Stand Up songs though.

    Anyone know the best way to get tickets for this show? My husband, brother and I are making a vacation out of it but don’t have tickets yet. I was hoping there’d be more on the boards but no dice. Not sure why? Had no problem snagging tickets for Deer Creek this way...

    More tickets will probably pop up closer to the show date. However, being the only show in Southern California it's going to be a tough ticket to get. The LA market is a haven for scalpers and inflated ticket prices due to shows for big acts selling out quickly. Good luck!

    Gov't Mule has a show in LA on the 11th, strong possibility of Warren guesting with DMB on the 10th.

    You can absolutely tailgate at HB! Take one of the shuttles to the bowl (Ventura/Lankershim, Hollywood/Highland, LA Zoo). Bring what ever you want with you in a bag. There are multiple picnic areas that allow alcohol right outside the HB entrance. What’s awesome is you can sit out there and drink your own booze for cheap and listen to the “house music” and opening act. Head inside once the opening act finishes and you are good to go! While, yes, you cant drink at your car, get there early and take the shuttle to the venue and hang out and “picnic”. Such an awesome way to spend time before the show!!!

    So, I’m a silly little man. I thought waiting would be a good idea, I may have made a tactical error. Oh well, I either go and drive 9 hours round trip or I don’t and I...don’t...

    vividseats.com is a legit ticket re-selling website; they are the "official resale marketplace" of football & basketball for the college that I went to (University of Utah). I actually just used vividseats to buy tickets to a college football game in a couple of weeks, and I just got the tickets e-mailed to me yesterday. Hopefully your seller will come through!

    This is GREAT info! It'll be my first time there, and will definitely take advantage of the picnic areas. My AirBnB says it's within walking distance to the Bowl, but good to know about shuttles too. Thanks!

I actually just used vividseats to buy tickets to a college football game in a couple of weeks, and I just got the tickets e-mailed to me yesterday. Hopefully your seller will come through!
    Thank you,
    Email I'd feel more comfortable but I'm getting them mailed to me (sent out) by the 3rd. I paid 100 extra for two tickets for a sorta surcharge and just feel totally ripped. With the reviews and the outrageous price (never bought tickets to LA venue as I moved here recently they are nearly 3 times the price of Midwest tickets. I feel slightly[I] better.
