Red Rocks 5/28-29/2016

I guess I'll cross post my post from the other RR thread here as well...

I'll agree with everything capefan said, with the HUGE exception of j2glive.  One of the owners (Gary) is a major A-hole of the most epic proportions. I would not recommend their services to anyone. Make alternate plans!  As you can see capefan joined the forum just to pimp this service. Consider this a Jacket forum PSA.


...for a good laugh, here's a fun clip of said A-hole getting punked on April Fools by a local Denver radio station, after he apparently threw a fit in DIA.

Is there where the roll call early entry line will form?  This is really cool.  Thanks for posting!

For sure! It will be my first time there too. 37 days!

...and I just discovered the Giants are Denver this weekend.  This trip just got even better! 

[JacketJayhawk]

Went to the MMJ show last Aug. at RR but sat in Reserved. Going with a group that has reserved seats and me and buddy have GA (non-role call) . I have a digital membership only.

With that said, I will be in the 2nd wave of GA entries behind Roll Call members, so curious to know what time I will have to be in there and how accommodating GA seat savers are if I want to get up for a beer or wait in line for a poster?...

My plan is to avoid the worst case scenario, sitting on the very top GA section by being in line before gates open BUT on the flipside, I know I will be tempted to tailgate with my friends who have reserved seats and ultimately want to maximize tailgate time with them and other fellow Jacket-Heads.

So my RR newb question is, what experience does anyone have with GA at RR, especially non-roll call members. What time to wait in line to get in lower bowl area? (Rows: 20-25) is fine with me... If its just me saving my seat and my buddies...can I expect to keep my seats if I need to get up from them for a brief beer run etc.? - I know this is a subjective question...just after waiting since I got these tix on the pre-sale and wanting everything to go as smooth as possible!

Driving from KC (Craft brews, Altitude Golfing, MMJ at RR x 2) = BEST MEMORIAL DAY EVER

I think some folks are going Friday if you're interested.

Can some one remind me is the poster that comes with VIP the same as the show posters?

[JDUB]

There were two different posters for the Vegas VIP experience but if I'm not mistaken this is only the second show from CID Entertainment with the VIP package

Interesting. I know that thre was also a different VIP poster for Ween a few months ago in Denver. Those I think were also CID packages. I wonder it they just produce a separate poster.

[AlwxanderD10]

I remember reading that the details for the vip  package said it would include one poster. So I guess this implies there will not be a different poster for each night? This doesn't really answer your question, but take it as you will.

I took that as 1 poster per each VIP package per night. So if you got two VIP's each person gets a poster.  I'd bet there will be different posters for each night. There were two different ones in 12.

I'm curious if the cid poster will be the same ones as at the merch tables. My gut says yes but who knows if they commissioned their own?

The only difference between Vegas VIP and Vegas "regular" poster was the color..... same exact size, graphics, etc.  And I think it was just the background color (red VIP and white "regular") that varied.  There was no difference between night 1 and night 2 poster.  In other words, the regular was identical with both dates and same colors regardless of whether it was purchased night 1 or 2.  That said, Red Rocks this year could definitely be different.

Any update on this?  I'm definitely up for catching a ball game...

Unfortunately C and I aren't arriving into Denver until Saturday afternoon. Whirlwind 48 hour trip, so we'll likely hit up the Sunday game. Wish we could make into town on Friday but no dice.  Hopefully I can buy you a beer on this trip Maggie, still grateful for your help with the N1 terminal 5 poster! Still framed on our wall!

I'm sure you guys are on it, but the rooftop area seats look to be the best place in Coors field for a group of partygoers to get together.

Still on the fence on going GA or reserved.   In 2012 me and wife did GA and got great seats for night 1.  We got there right around when the gates opened.  And we were like 10-15 rows up.  Will it be about the same or would we need to get there earlier?

In 2012 i got there about 1 hour 45 minutes early and ended up in the 4th row center.  Last year I got there right before early entry doors time, and i ended up in the 16th row but off to the right.  They had roped off a very big chunk of the left-middle section this time which really dug into the prime seat availability.  I would highly advise getting there earlier this time if you want a prime spot.

[Jenfarr]

So if doors are at 6:30, Roll Call entry should be around 6PM?  So if we get there say between 3-4PM we should be okay? I just don't want to spend my whole day there, since it is our first trip to CO.
