    Past few years Ive been like 2 rows behind the "lower" seats, forget the exact row. I don't think I have ever used my actual WH confirmed seats for DTE. I usually find better ones on the boards.

    I understand that. To me it just goes to show how messed up the system is when there are better one's out there.

    2012 is when the seats from the WH here started going downhill and that was VIP. I've said 100 times, I get why the pit is there. I don't like it but I get it. The VIP stuff is 100% a money grab. Now they are charging $115 and the seats aren't as good. It's getting harder for me to justify it. I'll still have a blast when I go I'm sure but getting close to me calling it quits. If seats were where they were in 2009 or 2010 it might be different but they are charging me more for worse seats....

    I joined the Warehouse in 2012 and was wondering about this... I always go for Pavilion and so far I do get tickets but the seats are double letter and pretty far back. I think the closest I've gotten was in the middle somewhere. Most of the time we're in the last 20 rows.

    I'm curious to see if the year off will cause any issues with people no longer participating in warehouse OR if the prcie increase stops people from requesting "just to see what they get'

    And it stinks if that is the one show you want or can afford to attend. It has been discussed MANY times but warehouse could really provide an awesome experience to it's fans. They just seem to refused to make adjustments to the system.

    It is the only show I can afford to go to every year if I want to have more than one vacation to go to lol

    I always think, maybe this is the year that we get close enough to not need the monitors.

    Same, the pricing and (always) having this show on a week night is suddenly making me more apprehensive about this show than I ever have been. I get it's always a fun time but when you're spending $100+ on tickets (plus $11 beers, etc) the music better be upper echelon and it's not really there anymore in my opinion. Plus, I imagine a lot of new songs will make the set this year. If those "new" songs are Shotgun, Sugar Will, etc then I'm suddenly more excited but if we're talking about abortions like Samurai Cop, Bismarck, Be Yourself being played every night...boy...we're in trouble. But again, it definitely comes down to pricing and seat location.

    This is the first time for DMB that we are heading into the onsale and I'm not even trying to pull up something. If the secondary market is kind, see you guys there. If it's overblown, I guess there's always next year...

    Ended up with 3 reserved tickets in the $115 level which is what I requested... Curious to see where exactly those will end up being.

    The quality of the show and the quality of the album could be a determining factor if I want to go again next year. This declined stuff so many people are seeing is pathetic.

    Wow, I guess I have nothing to bitch about. Confirmed but as suspected I got uppers. Curious to hear from my buddy with a 98 account if he got confirmed.

    I'm guessing there are a record number of season ticket holders this year at Pine Knob, otherwise all the declines don't make sense.

    I'm thinking a lot more later members got approved and go through on the initial request. Hopefully seated by seniority will be good for us.

    There seem to be more declines across the board, every venue.

    I'm thinking the WH is just getting a smaller allotment.

    Was confirmed for 4 x 115$ tickets... It sucks seeing so many declined for this show... I thought it was one of the easier to get tickets for.

    Yes, I agree that the pre-sale sucked. I was only able to get lawn right after the sale hit. I was lucky to get PIt for Gorge N3 only to realize that I need N2 tix... grr
