    Do they mail Warehouse tix or will call pickup?

    I'm not in the warehouse, but my buddy is, could he get me a pair of tix?
    Mail 2 weeks before the show.
    Thank you

    Strange tour this year.  No Cleveland,  Pittsburg or Virginia Beach.  These are staples for 25 years.  Im bummed by no Virginia Beach.  I hate going to Bristow. 
    I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they like Bristow.  The traffic in & out of that place is just god awful.

    Yes

    There is a box that let's you opt out of other options.
    Bummer. It seems like you can't opt out of reserved seating, only Lawns. Unless I'm missing something.

    It's the worst.. and last year we had the flood that delayed the show by almost 2 hours.  Cars were overtaken by water in the parking lot.  The county was conducting rescue operations... in a parking lot!! It was crazy.

    Yeah.. and unless you have good tenure,  you can back on the second section.

    Double Bummer! Had I known I wouldn't have bothered with putting in a request. It's funny, I never joined the Warehouse because I didn't like the lottery aspect and ending up with seats you don't want. However I let optimism get the better of me for this tour announcement. Oh well, I'll either sell at face or gift someone if I can get pit tix sorted.

    You can usually request only GA. That's what I have historically done.  And then if I lose,  i buy day of the show. 

    The other option is instant ticketing.  Sometime in the few weeks after the result of the lottery,  you will get an email saying there are instant tickets available.  It's usually all sections.  If you work in front of a computer,  you're usually golden.  It's first come first serve. Last tour I won GA for bristow,  and got GA for VA beach and Tampa through instant ticketing.

    Isn’t that venue right next to a shopping center?

    no, it's way out in the country.  Only two lane roads in and out.  You might be thinking of Merriweather Post, which is on the other side DC, in MD. That's sort of in the middle of an urban area.

    Didn't a bunch of people miss the show because staff told people the show was going to be cancelled given the situation?

    Yes that's exactly what happened.  They were telling people it was cancelled when it wasn't.  I actually got a call from teh Warehouse a few days later.  They asked me about my experience and what I saw, etc.  Then they asked if I wanted a refund.. I was like SURE.  So 4 tickets refunded.  It was super cool of them.

    I've put in for the Gorge by the way.
    You ever do a Gorge trip?  I'd like to one day.  But when we drove from Seattle to Missoula for the PJ stuff last summer, we went through there and it was just so friggin' desolate.  I mean the venue was beautiful and green, but other than that it was terrible.  Are you camping?

    I have been to the Gorge every year since 2009 (except two years ago when they didn't play).

    We love going. We don't camp. We stay in Wenatchee where we have our little routine established.

    It's kind of like a spiritual cleanse for us.

    Are you from Seattle?

    Yup that is the one I am thinking of. I saw pj there in 2000 and then bristow in 2003.  
    I am really into Dave right now, I might try to head to a show for the first time in 12 years.
