    Earth Wind and Fire are playing summerfest the next day and 6/29 is an open date for them. That’d be a fun guest!

    It's a fine place. However, there are multiple seats with obstructed views and the outside sections fan out pretty wide which make for poor viewing angles. It had some renovations in the last couple of years that made it a bit better, but it's a below average amphitheatre. The SummerFest security are pretty good about keeping people from sneaking into the pit. It's a pretty small pit though and feels cramped (in my experience). The crowd is usually pretty meh for DMB Summerfest shows. Many many tickets are corporate handouts so there are incredibly casual fans throughout. A good many of the seats don't fill in until several songs into the set because so many of the attendees are not the typical diehard DMB fans.

    Others probably have different takes.

    Anyone have any tips on a good place to park that is easy to get out after the show? Haven't been to Summerfest in many years.

    Is there anything within walking distance of the venue that would be of interest? Dining, shopping, etc.

    Is there any elevation towards back of PIT? What about the "front "floor" sections? Or is it pretty much flat?

    Flat, but lots of room. Last year we were off the the side towards the back. Had plenty of room and a great view.

    The venue is directly east of the Thrid Ward (Milwaukee "neighborhood"). Lots of upscale apartments and awesome food etc. Its certainly walkable, we do it all the time. Street parking is available, but harder to come by as you get closer to show time. There are also a lot of parking lots that offer parking for a price.

    There are TONS of restaurants/things to do there day of/pre show. You can also explore outside the Third Ward.

    What are you into? What time are you planning to arrive/start your day?

    I will absolutely point you in the right direction.

    There is some shopping in the third ward. Mostly boutique style shops. Nearest "shopping" area would be Bayshore mall or Mayfair in Wauwatosa.

    I can certainly give you more info on places to eat/drink/sight see etc. if you need

    I think we're good. The Third Ward sounds like the place to check out. Thanks for the help!

    I'm surprised by how many tickets are still available for the show on Ticketmaster. Last I looked, it seemed that half the seats were still available.

    This will be my first time seeing DMB at Summerfest (and first time at Summerfest). Anyone have tips about how Pit works? How early do people start lining up? Is it set up so that it’s possible to get a poster and a good spot? I’ll take any and all suggestions. Can’t wait.

    Looking to swap seats for something more near the isle.... currently have sec 104 row FF - middle of row.

    Seats don't need to be the same section but something comparable. Ideally just looking to be near a isle.

    Doors at 6 for everyone. I believe Warehous early entry is after Warehouse First entry. Somewhere around 545.
