Questions about Warehouse Upgrades

1. Does Warehouse still come around and upgrade members to better seats?
2. If so, does Bo still do it? I know he was the guy in the late 90's and early 2000's.

Thanks for the help,
Dave

    Most upgrades seem to happen via phone call these days....before the date of the show.

    Re: Questions about Warehouse Upgrades

    I got upgraded in 2008 at Tampa. It was crazy to be, center front row. I was looking for the seats and they stopped my mom and ask her if she was a Warehouse Member, she said that "my daughter is". Any way that night the front row was full of Blondes? I am not sure how they do it every night but it did seem like they were looking for BLondes.....

    That was an amazing night. However, not as good as WPB N2 this year!

    Re: Questions about Warehouse Upgrades

    i will be a 9 year member and have never been upgraded, though i know others who have with less years (don't think they care about years). the others were all upgraded in person, preshow. i never head into a show more than 10 minutes early so this def hampers my chances

    Upgrades are pure luck.
    And luck meaning, how pretty your face is/how large your boobies are.

    I blame my boyfriend for me never getting upgraded. I have sat there dozens of times over the years and watched as young huss after young huss get moved to the front...

    bitter, no.

    Re: Questions about Warehouse Upgrades

    I was upgraded at N2 2003 at Hartford. I was in the venue before the opener had started, (parked in a private lot that made us go in as soon as the doors opened) I saw some dude with a warehouse lanyard talking to a few people, one of them freaked out and ran down to the front row. Me and my girlfriend went up and asked him if he just gave them an upgrade, he said yes if you are a member of the warehouse. I handed him my tickets, he looked up my member # on some form pulled out a wad of tickets handed me two and said here you go, enjoy! I had 5th row Dead center. where I was about 60 rows in the nose bleeds before. Great night! Just shit luck I guess...

    How exactly do you go about getting upgrades? I'm in the WH and I'm interested as to how this is possible to do.

    Try reading the above statements. My guess is you need to arrive early, be in your seats and pray...

    Sounds like you have to get into the venue early and then walk up to some guy in the venue and just ask him for an upgrade. Then he'll have a clipboard confirming you're in the warehouse and then he'll give you an upgrade.

    Re: Questions about Warehouse Upgrades

    I saw someone a few rows ahead of me get upgraded at the Gorge in 2008, they went from the back of the pavilion to the front row (or close). The person had a Warehouse jacket on, checked the tickets, then switched tickets with them and led them to their new seats. This was done during the opening act's set.

    Hopefully, the 'hot blonde' situation won't be a problem for my next DMB show.

    just stand close to one and pretend to know them

    but seriously, from what I've personally seen and heard others say, you have to be there by the time the opener starts, I think they also take your tickets and try to upgrade others with worse tickets. I always say that I want to get there early, but it never works out.
