    I was hoping this date was gonna be in May again. Made the trip down in 2016 to visit a friend who moved to Charlotte - took him to his first DMB show and he loved it. Hope to do the swing again but mid-summer might make it tougher (and hotter!)

    Anyone got ticket prices on this show? Looking like prices vary for different venues.

    I'll be there! Thankful that it's separate from Atlanta so I can see them at two different points on the tour.

    It's just a matter of if I'm flying solo for it or not.

    Don't know if I'll be able to make this Tuesday night show. I'm pretty upset about it. Haven't missed a Charlotte show since 2006.

    Still on the fence for the first time in years on this Charlotte show...I'll probably still end up going. Always a good time.

    Wish I could make it this year. My school reports back to work the day after the show. I can't take the first day of the year off.

    Over the past 12 years, have attended dozens of shows across the midwest, however we moved to Charlotte last year.



    Looking for feedback on shows at PNC in Charlotte v. Walnut Creek. Do you prefer one over the other?



    Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    So the wife and I relocated to Asheville from Arkansas last year so this will be our first east coast show.

    How's this venue? Parking, tailgate, security?

    My first show was Charlotte in 96 when I was at school. We moved down here in 15 and went that year also but I missed 16. Will be there this summer though!

    I have been to probably 10 shows at each venue; I much much much prefer charlotte. easier venue to get to/get in and out of, have always preferred the crowds at charlotte too. not that the raleigh crowd is bad in any way they just always seem more amped in charlotte.

    I wish that they scheduled the show during a time when college was in session. the energy just intensifies a lot when that is the case.

    Parking is usually easy to get in, not terrible getting out. I recommend hanging out for a while to let the lines trickle out first.

    I've never had the chance to tailgate here, but I'm sure it's run-of-the-mill for most one night shows on the tour. It's on a Tuesday which will hurt it slightly.

    Security is fine. But keep an eye for undercover CMPD patrolling for drugs. Plenty of people have been busted in the past (including me)

    Never been to Raleigh,despite being to every show here in CLT. So here's my two cents -

    A few years ago, we arrived late, but it was a bear getting in there, and we missed the opener the one year we wanted to see them (Amos Lee). We usually get there early to avoid that. During the week, it's not as bad as it would be if it were a weekend show.

    We get Premiere parking. They let that group out before the general lots, which is nice.

    I've been to a few different venues, and this one is pretty good IMO. Good, no hassle tailgating, pretty decent inside amenities / viewing. The acoustics could be better, but they're not terrible.

    DMB has some real gems here over the years. I pretty much just do one show a year anymore... so this is an easy decision for us.. we're local and it's a pretty good venue.

    Charlotte is an awesome venue. The tailgating is awesome. Security doesn't hassle you unless you're being stupid. Leaving the lot can be a nightmare after the show. Charlotte always gets a pretty solid show. I'm sad I won't be able to get to this show this year.

    Side note: I'm also in Asheville. I love this town!

    Yep you’re right. Pretty good venue. And getting out *can* be a nightmare but we usually just wait until traffic starts flowing.

    Asheville is an awesome town. Haven’t been there since then Crystal Garden show back in the summer.

    Got a pair of uppers for this one. Hope to be section 5 or 6 towards the center. Remember those seats having nice sight lines toward the inside aisle.

    Since we are already going to 3 other shows besides this one we did the $49 reserved seating and were approved. I’ve never been that far up at Charlotte...hopefully it will be good.

    it is basically just an assigned seat at the front of the lawn. at that price point I think it's a hell of a deal

    Yeah this is basically premier lawn seats. They’re great because they’re cheap and assigned. I’ve sat there before
