honestly, that\'s really not that bad of a price.

the 2-night package works out to $375 a ticket. really not all that of an expensive way for a corporation to schmooze some clients.. i\'d also imagine that there\'d be some normal DMB fans who would get a group together to go in on it as well. i mean, you get to watch the show from your own party room, with all-you-can-drink all night long. i\'m not about to jump at it, but i don\'t think it\'s too astronomical..

if i had a lot of money i would go for it.. that would be an insane party, and no i havent seen dave in about 5-6 years. i still think people are ridiculous for hating on their music in this scene, i know he doesnt always bring the best crowd but he has written some great stuff and i like his unique voice. Before These Crowded Streets = top-notch shit.

gordo - dmb central park 2003 still stands as the best concert i\'ve ever been to in my life. and i had been on a 5-year dmb (concert) hiatus at the time, and haven\'t seen them since.

I respect Dave, but when you want to put an album out but your "people" tell you it\'s "too dark" so you don\'t, I dont\' like that, release the music you want to release.  Oh yeah and starting riots at a DMB show practically the quintisential smoke a joint have a glass of wine sit by the fire with your girl/guy music, and people are starting riots???? I just don\'t get it. (it was only in Hartford though so what\'s that tell you?(and twice at that))

But really it just caught me off guard to see any show for $10,000, yeah all in all it\'s not too bad, but I rarely spend $20 on a show let alone 300 some odd dollars.

I think the most I ever spent to see a show was roughly $150 (might have been more or less it was awhile ago) for DBB new years VIP tickets in Bridgeport. That was a great fuckin night though. Watchin The Boot from the side of the stage at midnight AWESOME!

For that price, it should include first (and maybe second) pick of the DMB groupie litter...

And it always amazes me that the fans at every GWAR show that I have been to have been ten times nicer than the fans at a given DMB show.

metal fans are some of the most down to earth people out there. I was always amazed by that working at the meadows. If you take away the occasional drunken brawl, all the want to do is walk in, party it up head bang and thrash around, then leave. Very mellow crowd.

I never understood the dmb riots, and they happen in at least four different years while I was up there. :sigh:

With the suite tix you\'ve got it.  Just mosey on over to the nosebleed seats with a couple of extra stubs, and bring back whoever you want.  Seat upgrade + unlimited booze + live DMB = in their pants before setbreak.  I was gonna say that $375 per ticket is pretty much fair market value for all-inclusive luxury box seats, but now that Drew brings up the booty factor I\'d say it\'s actually a good value.
