THE DETROIT DOUBLE WHAMMY

[mgobugsy]

We will be at both shows (as well as Raleigh, Charlotte, and Vegas).

Does anyone know door times?  The site says 7pm for the show and indicates doors are generally an hour earlier.  Does that put Roll Call early entry at 5:45 or 6:45???

I hope someone tapes this! Also I'd love to meet up with folks before the shows.

unfortunately, i've never seen a single taper at any of their detroit shows =/

I stood near a taper at the Fillmore show in 2008, but it never surfaced.  I'd like to think that someday it will appear!

I'd like to know this too. Wondering when the opener gets on/off and when MMJ goes on. Thanks!

So, I've only been to the Fillmore once. It was a few years ago and I don't really remember anything. I know it's tiered in different sections of GA, but are there seats on the floor, with a pit in front? Or is it all just floor?

Also, I'm not in Roll Call or anything so how does that work? Fan club members get in like 30 minutes early right? So you pretty much have to be in Roll Call to get super close?

It's a great venue. No seats or pit – all floor. I've had some of my best concert experiences in the first row of the second tier of GA, just a couple steps up from the main floor and the sound is better. Still super close, yet not as crowded. Plus, quicker access to the bar! Highly recommended.

Thanks! Will they have different wristbands for different sections or what? Just wondering how they keep people sectioned correctly. I'll be on the upper balcony Tuesday, and floor Wednesday. Is it even possible for a non-Roll Call member to get up front?

Anyone have an extra signed poster I can buy?  I got the soundcheck ticket but missed out on the poster unfortunately.  Can't wait to party in the D. 

[RobRoy286]

Tomorrow!

The GA floor is all one section. You can stand where ever you want.

WAY TOO PUMPED FOR THIS! Undoubtedly the highlight of my MMJ itinerary this summer.

I'll be hauling ass from Toronto to make this soundcheck. Praying I get there on time!

Still waiting early entry info.......

June 16 & 17 - Detroit, MI - The Fillmore
Box Office Hours: Opens at 12pm
Arrival for First Entry (30 Mins before doors): 6pm
Early Entry Door Time (15 Mins before doors): 6:45pm
Public Door Time: 7pm
Show Time: 8pm
Roll Call Location: The box office is located directly in front of the building. The Early Entry line will be located directly to the right of the box office.

Shouldn't that be 6:30 for Arrival for First Entry???

[RobRoy286]

Does that mean Hiss Golden Messenger starts at 8?

[oistheone]

Or shortly after.

Imagine MMJ goes on sometime around 9. Calling the box office tomorrow will get us an exact stage time for the boys.

[mgobugsy]

I am walking over to pick up tix shortly after Noon.  I will ask there as well.

[RobRoy286]

Thanks! I'll be on the balcony tonight, hope the crowd's all right up there.

[mgobugsy]

I walked to the box office (2.5 miles).  Box office opens at Noon.  Early entry indicates tix can be picked up at the box office.  BUT, tickets won't get there until after 3pm.......

Also, for those coming in from downtown, the venue is on Woodward Ave.  It is a massive eight lane road, but it is undergoing a massive reconstruction project.  Don't come in via Woodward.  Approach the venue from the west (lots of surface parking there anyway).

See y'all later.

Have fun to all those that are going tonight and tomorrow, can't wait to hear the reports!

Ahhh shit I forgot to ask the box office what time MMJ went on while I was there.

Anyone get the lowdown on start time???
