    In 2020/21, I was confirmed for Uppers and didnt want to hassle with TM or the refund process, so i hung on to my seats. My Uppers were section 36, just for reference.

    I'd be open to that - DM me once seats are out and we can see if you like what I get.

    I just looked - my upper pavilion tickets back in September were Section 35.

    I have no idea how they allocate things, but in my mind, this is what WH is handing out at Blossom:
    Pit
    10's & Pit = Premium Packages
    20's = Lowers
    30's = Uppers
    Lawn

    Is the PIT excessively small at Blossom?

    The pit is smaller than most at Blossom, regular seats start again in Row H...which puts us at like 8-10 rows worth of space.

    If you go thru the other concerts that are already on sale at blossom, it's tiered pricing. It would be odd for DMB to be different, one would think?

Prior to the advent of the pit, I did get 10s a couple times, but if I wasn't up there, I was usually on the sides in the 20s or 30s. I believe just about all of the middle 20s (23-25) are corporate boxes and other types of comp/VIP seats.

    I have had luck on last minute drops in the mid-20's (like day of show/night before drops)...but save for that, i think you are correct in the corporate ticketing/season tickets.

    Super excited to be finally seeing a show at this venue after all these years. Plus this is my first time ever with “pit passes”

    Any hotel recommendations?

    It depends on how much driving you are comfortable with. Even the hotels that are close, aren't super close. There are a handful of hotels right off of route 8 on Steels Corners. If you are able to venture out a little farther, fairlawn has some decent hotels, there is the Sheraton suites in Cuyahoga Falls, and some other randome hotels around.

    Just snagged a Premier Parking Pass on the presale--$61.80 after fees (worth it though!). The presale itself looked like a joke--lawn seats and platinum tickets. Who is actually paying $700+ for a seat in the 10's sections? Makes no sense to me.

    Exactly. I saw two sets of pits momentarily flash, but could never cart them. Otherwise, nothing but lawn.

    Got uppers and a parking pass in the presale. See you all there! May be the only show we do this year. Totally skunked on SPAC.

    The venue is in a weird area between suburbs, rural-ish areas, and a national park. There are probably quite a few typical Best Western / Hampton Inn-type places not too far away, but nothing particularly different or special. There may be some interesting AirBnBs around, if you want to go that route.

    Not sure where you're coming from, but if you want to include the Rock Hall as part of the trip, Rockside Road in Independence is a massive sprawled street of hotels and restaurants and is more or less equidistant between the two.

    Wife and I are camping at Herritage Farms via hipcamp. We have tent camped here before and it is beautiful! Plus it is only $35 and 5 minutes from the venue.

    I’m coming from central Ohio. So about two hours away. I’m guessing I won’t be drinking a lot since I’ll be in the pit. So I’m trying to decide if I just want to drive home or not.

    If I’m having to get into a car to get to the hotel I might as well just head home.

    I'm in Pittsburgh - I've probably gone to blossom 7/8 times - I've only stayed up there once - 2 hours is just too easy to get home and sleep in my own bed - so I just keep the drinking to a minimum / before the show when I go here.

    Same here. I live 15 minutes from Blossom, but i go to shows in Pittsburgh and Columbus all the time (we're going to John Mayer tomorrow night in Pittsburgh). I have never stayed in a hotel--it is just so hard to justify dropping the money on it when it's only mildly inconvenient to drive home (my big drinking days are behind me).

    I've done an up and back to Columbus which is another hour away - like cut out of work early - drive to the show - have some drinks and dinner, watch said show, hike it to the car as they're playing Ants, and boom, i'm at my desk at 8am. I won't say I don't have a few too many drinks once in a while at shows I'm not driving home from (Like N1 of a two night stand...), but I don't NEED that - being sober and seeing a show is A-OK with me if it means not losing another vacation day and spending $200 on a hotel room to do so.

    Is there any way to get premier parking at Blossom without buying a ticket? Can't find any tickets other than lawn but want premier.

    lol... what a joke




    Only lawns available!? Pit did come up for about 30 seconds for me but was getting the typical error code and then when I was able to "get them" they were "changed" to platinum's.

    I've been going to Blossom since 2003 and never been shut out. I don't understand it. Fucking livenation with their waiting room then que thing. I was on at 9:48 and got into the waiting room. Took me 7 minutes to get in. Bullshit.

    It was terrible. Once I was in, I saw pit for face but of course those didn't stick.

    I'm ISO 3 anywhere in the pavilion.
