The math checks out for three nights.  1st Bank Center holds 6,500.  Red Rocks holds 9,500.  I would love to see two nights at 1st Bank Center, and for the 1st night, package deals to include a small venue, such as Gothic, Ogden, Blue Bird.  Bands will do this for Red Rocks show runs.  Guessing they won't be touring much at the end of the year, so the smaller show is more of a warm up show..  1ST Bank Center is a decent venue, nothing that special about it, and not my ideal location.  Not much to do around the venue, unless you like hanging in the burbs.  There is a new Chuys out there somewhere, so might get on some texmex and margs on before show.
Convenient for those in Boulder and that area, no so much for me (SE Denver).

How easy or hard is it to take the RTD from Denver up into Broomfield? My plan was to find a place to stay downtown and just take that to and from the venue.

It would be via bus, and I cannot speak for the service personally, I pretty much only use light-rail due to what i do and live.... but If i had to guess, there are going to pretty good options up to venue, especially from downtown Denver, possible express/or few stop options.  RTD is a pretty good transit service out here!  I also remember people organizing party buses and other transportation to Red Rocks from other locations in the metro area, guessing that has to be fun as well.  Not sure on here, but very active posts on the facebook group about vans and buses.

We used Bus to Show for the Red Rocks shows, i would check with them to see if they'll provide service to Broomfield. Great time, they let you party on the bus and they have speakers to play whatever music you want and i believe some of the money goes to a good cause! The only rule is "Don't leave anything behind, because these are school buses that actual children use"
Anytime

uber/lyft is your friend. So much easier than driving and parking or taking a bus, and much cheaper than a DUI.

Uber and Lyft are great, and nice friends, but you will be paying a lot of money on NYE for their services.  Also, Friday and Saturday nights, especially during a big event/concert, Uber and Lyft will also be expensive and they will be surplussing, i can guarantee you that..  Guessing Shows will be either Saturday or Sunday, or Friday, Saturday or Sunday.  If you don't have a full crew riding an Uber or Lyft, i'd look into other options unless you like blowing money.

Yeah, I used the CID busses to get to and from RR last year and want to make sure I look at all my options. I will definitely be going to these shows so just trying to save some $$ where I can!

Everything is GA?  And, will the floor have seats or just be open with no seats?

So I just resigned up for Roll Call. I assume I am eligible for tomorrow's presale. But anyone know for sure?

How were you able to sign up? I got an email months ago saying RC packages wouldn't be for sale anymore and all existing memberships would expire at the end of the year.

Interesting I just signed up for a login via the homepage. But I didn't pay like in the past. Not sure if this will qualify for this onsale but I hope it does because I want just one VIP package.

i'm very interested as well.  i let mine expire in March (first time i've let it expire since it began) as there were no Colorado shows on the horizon at that point.  now it seems i'm screwed for pre-sale tix.

It's my understanding only people with an active RC membership will get the presale code sent to their Dashboard. Deluxe members get it at 9:55 and Digital 30 minutes later.

Anyone else not receive an email announcement for this one?
I received emails for the summer tour and OBH 2018, but didn't get anything this morning.
Wonder if it's because my Roll Call expired.  :shocked:
