halesdd .. i'd call artist arena or whoever the powers that be. there is a 2 ticket limit so if you got 4 they could foreseeably cancel your order b/c of multiple orders? just call .. better safe than sorry and most likely you won't get saddled with 2 extras (since 2 is the max).

RE: the pit @ alpharetta .. it's good but bigger than you might think? i was there last july for phish. liked that venue ALOT  :thumbsup:

Yeah,  good point.  I can perhaps call them and see if I can work something out.

I don't think general admission is the pit.  Looks like they will take out the seats for the Orchestra seats.  It will be a rather large pit.

Normally yes, it's pretty small.

Brooke,

Thanks for the advise.  They were kind enough to cancel off the reserved seat pair (or so I hope they process it correctly).   Shew!  Learned my lesson.  Now as Jim James says at the end of Black Metal:  Oh one, two, three.  Let's rock!

I ordered 2 sets of 2 as well.  2 GA and 2 in seats.  I called them and they told me it would be fine.  Hopefully the guy knew what he was talking about.

I agree - it's a GREAT venue.

I see that the order is not longer in my order status in my account so it must have been taken care of.  I do wish we had reserved seats ahead of time but either way, Im satisfied.

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.

Sorry, I already cancelled the order through ticket arena.

Is there any good tailgaiting that is done at this location?  Would love to toss back several before the show starts.

I dont know why rollcall said 2 ticket max per order, you are def allowed 4 per transaction. If you try to get 5, it won't allow you and says the max is 4 per transaction.

I have lived in ATL for around 3 years now but i have never been to this venue.  I hear that its incredible.  I was in between getting pit tickets or reserved but i went with reserved section 102 row C.  I kinda wish i went with pit tickets now but im wondering if anyone knows how close the reserve section is to the stage?  I'm just trying to figure out how big the pit is and if i fucked up getting reserved seating.  the closer i dance the victory dance the better!!

I saw Band of Horses their recently and the parking is in a big field next to the venue.  Lots of tailgating to be had.  Excellent venue

br00ke

yes to the orchestra seats being taken out for larger GA pit .. at least when i went for phish

RE: pre-show lot scene .. definitely. large fields that you park in. i remember drunkenly peeing in the surrounding woods  ;D

spartanjames

I haven't  been to a show there where they took out the seats - do they pack it in GA or was it good? 

I like General Admission except when it's so crowded you can't move an inch.

As Brooke said, they take out orch 1,2 and 3 and that whole area is the Pit. It's a good size pit but not too big.Holds 2,000 maybe a little more depending on how many people they want to cram in there. The reserved sect's 101-105 are pretty close and the lawn isn't that far away either. Beautiful little venue.

Here's a link to some venue pics:

The pit for Phish was pretty crowded but there was definitely room to move, especially towards the back and sides.

there is a two ticket limit PER TRANSACTION.  You can buy as many as you want.   Also the GA tix available through roll call are pit tix (in front of the stage).......the lawn tix are easy to get so you wouldnt need roll call to get them.

also, i have always hated this venue....although i dislike most big venues.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Lakewood? This Amp is pretty new and far from a big venue,imo.

It only holds 12,000, which is kind of on the small side for Amps. Next to the St. Augustine,Fl. Amp, Alpharetta is the smallest one I've ever been to.

First post on this forum! I will definitely be there, I try to catch all the ATL or deep south shows.  Im a huge mmj (as you all are im sure) but look forward to networking with some people going to the same shows as me.  Anyone going to hangout this weekend or wakarusa? I'll be at both!   ;D

Here's a picture that should give you an idea of the pit size, and how close the reserved seats are to the stage.

You can just about see the front of the stage  on the left of the pic.
