are warehouse tickets worth it?

Unread post by dumoulip » Wed Aug 20, 2003 8:33 am

Hi All,

I'm new here, a big fan of Dave and the boys and have seen them live 5 times at different venues. I was wondering if anyone here has benefitted from Warehouse (fan club) tickets and could give me an appreciation of how good they actually are. I am debating whether to join or not. It would also help if you managed to get warehouse tickets for canadian shows since those are the ones I am most likely to attend.

thanks!

it's a tough call reallly...i'm in my fourth year so by seniority i get some pretty good seats 'most' of the time....chances are if you are a member for 2 or 3 years you'll get incredible seats for at least one show and decent seats for the rest....but there have been many different experiences....first year members is really just luck of the draw...not sure the the percentage of good seats they make available for newbies

I was a first year member this year, and quite impressed with my row 40 first night Gorge seats. Just had GA the second night. It was worth it to avoid all the fuss of online ticket sales and stress of getting the best seats. I guess I'd rather take it easy because I'm going to the show no matter what. The $35 saves me time and stress I suppose.

I am a first year member and I got section 4 row D to my show. I would say a warehouse membership is worth it. Besides it's only 20 bucks a year, and you're way more likely to get tickets to a show.

I got horrible tickets to this years ATL show through the warehouse. Last section, row ZZ. Thanks alot warehouse. I don't think I will renew this year I think I can do better on my own. I did however enjoy the Ben and Jerry Coupons and the Warehouse CD that came with the membership.

I'm a first year member and got shitty seats too. Anywhere you ask, it is gonna be split 50/50 of good/bad seats. If you join, don't expect to get good seats, then you cant go wrong.

thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the feedback. Keep it coming if you have other such experiences you'd like to share. So far, it seems like a toss up with maybe some favoritism going to seniority... interesting... :)

one more thing guys, as per warehouse policies, can one member buy a pair of tickets or are you stuck with only one? the website mentions only one membership per person.

and also....like mentioned above.... it beats waking up on a saturday morning at 9-10am and having to go online or get on the phone 'in hopes' of getting tix...when with the warehouse you have like a week to enter the lottery and you're 'pretty much' gauranteed to get at least one of the show you request....i personally think the WH is worth is ..but that's just my opinion

I joined the Warehouse 3 months after it opened.....I have YET to get AMAZING seats. I've gotten good seats....but never amazing seats. But it does beat giving my money to Ticketbastard

I have been a member for one year this October. I have only requested tickets once so far, and got STIFFED on three shows (no tickets at all) but I rest assured that my day will come.
