is the smallest venue on the tour... capacity 1800
i didnt want to mention that until the 10c sales were over
i have never been there but i have seen it on TV... if you are interested it was the venue for comedian Lewis Black's last HBO special "Red, White, and Screwed"... check it out if you get a chance, Lewis Black is hilarious and it will give you some nice shots of the beautiful theater
I live in DC and saw Ben Harper at the Warner last year (had great tx by the way, ORCH-mid row). At one point during the show the band stopped playing, Ben unplugged and walked up to the mic. He did this amazing acapella for like 10min. Amazing! The place was silent, you could have heard a pin drop!!
things were different then
all is different now
I've tried to explain
somehow
I got the Renaissance M Street Hotel near Dupont Circle for $70 on priceline. It's near Georgetown/Foggy Bottom Metro Station. Anyone know if the Metro Rail is easy to navigate to Warner Theatre?

Sigh. I almost don't feel like answering this, as a lifetime local and PJ fan since '91. My friend and I got locked out of both nights in the pre-sale (she has a really low 10c number, not that that mattered). I didn't even pull up a single TicketMaster ticket for either night today. I ended up buying us two balcony seats from StubHub for a small fortune. I won't feel over the trauma until they arrive and are as promised.
Warner Theater is one block from Metro Center, in the midst of downtown. Regarding hotels, don't feel you need one right at the venue, there are great sections of town close by, and Dupont Circle is awesome. Metro will be running until 3 AM Saturday, and midnight on Sunday. There are a lot of bogus Metro sites, the real one is http://www.wmata.com/
how did you get the grand hyatt for $139.00 ? i checked hotels.com and the rate was like $300
I went on tripadvisor.com on Wednesday night (after I got my 10C tix), and looked at all of the offers. Everything was coming up as $139 per night. I actually ended up going to the Hyatt Grand's website, and they also had a summer getaway price of $139 per night (with a 50% off coupon for breakfast, although their breakfasts are probably so overpriced that even half off is still too much), so I booked through them. Maybe it depends on the day of the week that you try these sites. Good luck!
Julienova, thanks for the info! I too have paid a small fortune to see Pearl Jam and know the feeling of seeing that credit card bill butwho knows when you'll ever get the chance to see him solo again so it's worth the $$$.
Thanks again!

Red line to Metro Center. It's a couple blocks away
**Actually, Orange line. Foggy Bottom is along the orange line, Metro Center should be 4 or so stops away
I agree with an earlier post, you need not stay in D.C.
Try Arlington, VA. It is right across the Potomac with Orange Line Metro Service to all of DC.
The Hilton Garden Inn is about 2 blocks from a Metro stop, you would then take the train for 5 minutes tops. There rate, with AAA discount, is $119 a night.
Enjoy the show and beautiful theatre.

You're welcome! That's how I feel about $$$ as well. I'm psyched, just biting my nails until I have the tickets in hand. One time I bought two tickets from StubHub, and only one arrived. The seller swore he sent me two. Please let me have enough good Karma for that not to happen twice. Enjoy your visit!
Hey, has anyone been to the Warner Theater recently? I got tix through TC, thank God, and got an email with instructions and the last one says "10. No cameras of any kind, including cell phone cameras, will be allowed into the venue."
So, that rules out all cell phones basically. Are they really that strict, or do they just make you turn them off? I can totally see turning your phone off during the show, but not being able to carry your phone all night?
Thanks, I can't wait for the show, gonna be an unbelievable experience.
Regarding Camden Yards - the MARC doesn't run on weekends. You can try Amtrak and then a cab.
Good call. Though you are probably better off renting a car for the day at that point if there are two people you need to get up there and back. Between metro, amtrak, cabs back and forth for two you are looking at around $100.

From what I have read, the cell phone rule is pretty well enforced. I don't think there is a problem carrying it in, but they watch for people trying to take pics and such. Just keep it in your pocket and turned OFF, you should be good to go.

Thanks Vedderman23, that is what I was hoping for, I just hope I don't get to the door and they try and make me take my iPhone back home. I can't imagine they wouldn't let you bring them in. See you there!
