Alpharetta, GA 8/20

[classicrocker623]

So I took a job with Teach for America and I'm moving to Alabama in August.  Obviously the first thought I had was, "When is the Jacket coming to the South??"

I have met some of you good folk at shows in the Northeast over the past couple years and I'm pumped to meet some forum members from the South.  So who's planning on hitting this show??

I was planning on coming down for this show, but am passing to go to Boston.

You'll LOVE this venue! Only holds maybe 12,000, a couple of years old, great sound/sightlines throughout the whole place. Definitely try to get in the pit. Nice and small, maybe 2,000. Even the lawn is close, as there is only one level of reserved seats.   

Look into staying at the Alpharetta Marriott. Get the Verizon Amp package. Includes shuttle for two-to/from venue and buffet breakfast for two. Real nice hotel and buffet is pretty damn good too. I think it's $119.00 a night for the Amp package.

Enjoy the show.

ooooh lala. I just might have to do this! Thanks for the tip.

Me and my amiga will be driving from Birmgham for this one. Pretty pumped that it's one of the last shows on this portion of the announced dates since we'll get to see the circuital tunes in more of a pre-pubescent stage rather than as slimy new-borns.

There are cheaper rooms/hotels in Alpharetta, but for the money this package is a great deal. I stayed there last year for Phish and staying there again next month for them again.

It works for me because I can have a couple of drinks and not worry about driving. If you're like me and don't want to drive, this is a great way to go.Cabs are about $20.00 each way, so you'll save that, and the breakfast buffet is $20.00 per. You'll definitely save some $ with this package.

Man, just writing this has me reconsidering Boston.  :-\ I know after going there again next month, I'm going to want to go back for MMJ. ;) I love this venue, and I'm sure all of you will too.

I plan to be there!! Hope I can get presale tickets.  New to using the Roll Call membership presale process so I hope it is smooth sailing.

Me too, only after having ordered general admission tickets the first time, went back realized my mistake and had to order again to get pit seats.  Which now I am five rows back!!  Damn it!!!  Now I have an extra pair of tickets for General Admission.  Hope I can move those.  Damn it, Damn it, Damn it!!  Oh well, learn from your mistakes I guess.

How do you get that your 5 rows back?
My order just says GA(pit) - to me that would be first come first serve, no?

[Nikkogino]

I got pit tickets too.  I sat back at the last MMJ show I went to (in Chastain).  I will not do that again....I have to be up in the very front for the Jacket.

I think he originally got pit tix but wanted to sit, so by the time he went back to get seats, they were already in row E.   --- I hope he  knows that the General Admission (Pit) are as close to the stage as you can get.

Well, now I dont know what the hell I did.  I was thinking that reserved seating was what we wanted as the best available.  Now I am seeing general admission is what is closest to the stage.  Hell if I know.  Either way, Im stuck with a pair of tickets that I don't need.

Yeah, general admission pit is the closest.  I don't think roll call will let you get bad seats.  I thought we were only allowed to get 2 tickets...how did it let you get 4?

Yup, that's exactly what happend.  Damn it.  I rushed through the process thinking it was assigned seating, not thinking they would put their fan club in General Admission.  My dumbass mistake.

That sucks....maybe you can bring 3 friends and you can switch off between pit and seats.  Or you can sell them and just meet the people you sell them to at the gates.

[EasyRyder]

Anyone who has been to the venue know how big the pit is??

It looks teeny weeny

Yeah.  Sucks that we can't get the tickets in advance instead of having to pick them up at will call otherwise I wouldnt be as worried cause I could just sell them in advance.  I would certainly do it at face value but I guess there fear is that some people would exploit this process by getting the presale tickets and selling them at a mark-up.  They should include someway you can cancel your order though.  Oh well, I'll work something out.
