Merriweather Post Pavilion Travel Package

[gideons]

Love how MMJ is doing a travel package, but $500 (250 a person) is too steep for me, especially since my friends and I are 20, and open bar means nothing to us.....I like to see my favorite bands sober

Anyone know when and where tickets will go on regular sale? Ticketmaster doesn't have em listed. I know this has already been raised, but I'm trying to get an answer. I hope MMJ does GA for this place because the venue does offer it. Driving from Hartwick College,just want to see the Jacket with a good view since it will be a bit of a drive.

hope I didn't come off snobby :)

Hey gideons!  Here's a list of all the show dates and on-sale dates; Merriweather goes on sale February 19.

I'm also hoping for GA!  See you there  :)

[kydiddle]

Oooof. That's a good idea, but too pricey for me! :) It's nice for the out of towners, but luckily I can stay with friends nearby.

I vote for pre-concert tailgating. Wooooooooooooooo.

*since the 'Roo lineup does not include MMJ, I am focusing all my energy on these tour dates*  :D :D :D

[ALady]

I was wondering about that actually - is Merriweather a tailgating kind of place, or a meet-at-a-nearby-bar kind of place?

I'm down for either   :)

Tailgating definitely and as for any bars, it's kind of a hike to/from the pavilion. I know there are some locals on the board, so please correct me if you have any suggestions.

Oh, yeah and I'm down for anything, too. In fact I'm so excited my head might burst... :)

The package actually looks like a bit of a rip off...unless I am missing something??   I looked up the hotel and a double is like $120.  I guess it's the appeal of the guaranteed reserved tix?  But still....seems a little steep for the average fan.....
Would also like to know more about the scene, whether it's tailgating or local pub kinda place??
Either way, I cant wait!!!

I know that tix go onsale next Firday.  Is there a presale?  

Ok, lots of questions....that's enough for now....  ::) ::) ::)

I hope there is a presale. Yikes! Where are you coming from?

I havent been to Merriweather, but my assumption would be that its slightly outside of a fairly big town/city.

aka - Tailgating would be the best option.

And even if it wasnt, a venue as big as Merriweather has to have a huge amount of parking so I figure the tailgating will be good times

Presale?!

Tix go on sale tomorrow my friend

Cranford, NJ!  How bout you?   If there was a presale when/how would we be notified?

REALLY??????????  I thought it was the 19th ???

What? Tomorrow? I thought it was 19th!!! (Did all this snow put me in a time warp and I missed a week???)

NJ...that's not too bad. I am coming from Hershey, PA.

If there is a pre-sale, they should put up the password on the board here. Keep checking back.

And yeah, I am not too familiar with the ins and outs of Columbia, but I've been to MPP a few times and it is in a commuter town, basically. MPP is literally right off the highway and there is a big shopping mall and some other places nearby. The pavilion is in the woods and I know some people knock it, but I like the venue. The one restaurant I went to near the place was UBER expensive. I'm grabbing a case of Blue Moon and putting it in my trunk. :) I'll share!

Ok, I think I have been in a time warp as well, though I have seen the 19th as the date....
Blue Moon in the trunk sounds superb!!!  What a great way to ring in spring ;)  
Ok, hopefully we will find out if presale tix are available tomorrow....

If both of you both think its the 19th, Im probably wrong and youre right

I just want the tix in my hands and showtime to start  ;D

Ditto. I'm starting to daydream about the boys on stage and feeling their music against my skin. Lord I can't wait.

not sure I understand the hate for this package deal.  500bucks really isn't that much money for a weekend away.  not sure about the location but it's cool the jacket is making different options available.  it's also kinda cool they've got a pre-party for the fans setup as well.  either way, get used to the high prices.  It seems highly unlikely MMJ will ever be 25bucks a ticket again.  Promotional shit like this is only the beginning, no need to bitch about it.  I'm sure whoever ends up going with the package will have a great time, not sure what's the harm.  

unless this is setup by ticketbastard/livenation and they're just milking the money from our precious little super fan tits.  that seems unlikely though.  have fun at the show you whiny bitches.   ;)

[ALady]

No, $500 isn't a lot for a weekend away...but for the cost of the $240 pre-party, you could probably hit up another date on the tour.

S'all I'm saying   ;)

I hear ya.  The Jacket needs to get paid though.  They're so ballin now they can set you up with a hotel and party if you want.  Hopefully when they're making millions they'll give us a breakdown that's a little more workable.  It's an interesting idea.  at least it's not a motel 6 or something.

[capt. scotty]

I dont know how much $$$ you make selling your mexican brick weed in D-town, Sticky Icky, but $500 (okay, $250/per person) for one night sounds like a lot to me
