    I live in MA and I generally go to Hartford for shows. Last year I went to SPAC and liked it a lot, even though we were on the lawn. But this year I’m considering Gilford over SPAC due to hearing good things about the venue. Is Gilford worth going to over SPAC?

    (Crossposted in the Gilford thread, just trying to get some idea of which venue to choose this year)

    To each their own, but not many venues top SPAC in my opinion. Get pavilion seats and you’ll never think of choosing NH over SPAC again.

    Generally request 2 tickets for both nights in years past and if I’m lucky end up getting at least one night inside. I think I’ll be going solo this year. I’d assume better odds getting a solo inside vs. 2 ? Anyone have any idea about this or is it just a crap shoot per usual

    So I should count on not being able to get into the pavilion? It's that difficult?

    Ticket limit at SPAC this year is 2 for non-lawn. It was 4 last year. Anyone else notice that?

    Its certainly difficult, most people get shut out thru the WH and public sale. It does take some effort and luck.

    You mean SPAC vip tickets, or Premium WH tickets? WH Premium Packages are no different than requesting regular seats in terms of getting selected as far as my experience goes...its just as difficult.

    It was only 2 last year as well for the $115s. I think it's been that way for some time.


    The big change this year is that the axed the lower-priced "uppers" (aka corners and back of the floor and balcony which used to be just $85)

    If you mean SPAC VIP, it can be. There's an area all the way to the back of the venue (behind the lawn) where they have some light food and more premium beverages plus usually live music. It's cool if you haven't done it before, and the seats are nice.
