I'd rather use TM than the WH. The WH requires you to PAY THEM $35 in ADVANCE for only a suggestion of getting good seats, not a promise.

With TM you wait in line and you get the tix IN HAND.
You've never sat close, have you? I will never, ever go back to lawn. I won't even settle for reserved seating outside of the first 20 or so rows. It's a completely different show up there.
Damn straight! Once you get close, being elsewhere will not do!

Exactly. The sound alone is soooo much better under the pavilion...at least thats how it is at Blossom. I will never see DMB @ Blossom on the lawn ever again.

Not when their system goes "oopsie" and the concert is sold out before it recovers.

In nearly a decade that has not happened to me once. And computer errors are thigns that we all deal with on a daily basis and they just, well, they happen.

When there is no other alternative I don't understand why torture ourselves, Ticketbaster is a gestapo monopoly of sorts but I'd rather go to a TM outlet, wait in line and get my tix in hand rather than relying on a half promise from the WH.

Nah, center section five rows back at Foxboro years ago and only about 10-15 rows back at Central Park. I've been there done that, and honestly I like Dave and love DMB's music, but I don't need to see what his hands are doing, you know what I mean?

The concert experience tends to degrade with age and over time, I'd rather be in the lawn having a good time old school with my friends where I can move around and meet people.

Peace,
