Merriweather Post Pavilion Roll Call

GREAT work!

I think what you are saying is that you are somehow using the "pick your seat" function to view the different areas and then pasted them all together.

How do you see each section? When I try to buy tickets, my only option is to pick a price and quantity, and then it gives me best seat available.

Yeah, I'll post a bigger image here is a second.

To view each section individually, go to the address below and change the "52" (at the end of the link) to a number between 52 and 88 to view all the different sections. Works like a charm!

QuoteI made it from the 30 or so different ticketing sections they have available for Merriweather on the Ticketfly website. Took me awhile, but it looks nice. Pretty good sales for the first 4 or so hours. BTW, I think the GA tickets are sold out.

Wow pretty cool. Still some open pav seats left.

What does "reserved" mean? The grey ones. How is that different than "sold"? Are those the seats that are sold under the table to the ticket scalpers? :-/

If anyone is interested, I have 2 GA tickets purchased this morning ... I accidentally put 2 pairs into my shopping cart and didn't feel like starting the purchase over again possibly screwing myself out of all of them.

Anyway, pm me....face value, of course...

I'm sure you wont have a problem getting rid of them

Maybe you should start a new topic "two GA for Sale.... " so you get more hits

I think they are the tickets that are reserved for family members/friends and radio stations, etc. Some of those may become available as the concert nears, according to Ticketfly's website.

QuoteMust not be my day...I still keep pulling stuff in the back. MMJ finally comes to my town and I can't get decent seats!

PM me if you have 2 GA you need to get rid of!

you will probably be able to find 2 GA tix for face on here @ some point. however, if you're nervous about waiting, maybe have another look @ that travel package deal. it's down from $499 to $429 for 2 tix (earlier the site said "your choice GA or PAV")

breakdown (rounded up) now looks like:
$429 total (2 ppl) --- $215 per person
$108 tix (2) --- $54 per person
$121.50 room (2 ppl) --- $61 per person
$50 - poster (2) --- $25 per person
$149.50 - pre party (2 ppl) --- $74.76 per person
==================================

I had to jump on this due to computer priviliges where I contract not being able to accept Ticketfly cookies and I really hate bad seats. Anyone know where the Pavilion seats for this are located, nothing on the receit or anything.

I wonder if those are the package seats?

Ah yes, I forgot about those. I'm sure a good deal of those gray seats are for that then.

That's right - the CID package seats are those center pavilion seats, row M and better. (Not all of them) but if you buy the package, have confidence you are getting sweet seats.

mahg33ta · Feb 26, 2010, 07:33 PM

One other point - a guy at CID told me you wouldn't know your exact seat assignment for a few weeks.

QuotePretty sure we are going to see Citizen Cope at 9:30 the night before, anyone going to that?

He used to live in my hood, he is super sweet, enjoy!

Does anyone know how many can fit in the ga pit area at MPP? Do they typically oversell the ga and jam pack everyone in there? I've been there once, years ago,but sat on the lawn and don't think there was a pit for that show.

I've done some ga pits and they all seem to be different. Fords in Tampa was nice and roomy, but the shed in Mass, was crazy packed all the way back,the show I saw there. All are tight up close and on the rail, obviously, but I was just wondering about the rest of the pit.

Just curious what to expect. Trying to decide what tix to keep. We have two ga and two center Pavillion,and told some friends they can take the two that I pass on.

I heard all of your mom's are going to be there.

I'm tackling the same question. Which way are you leaning? I'm not sure which to keep, though having thought about it all day, I think that I'm going to take the GA tickets over the reserved - because I'll be able to be closer to the stage and will be free to move around, not confined to a chair. I don't mind a few sweaty fans next to me, as long as they're not all up "in my business". Let me know what your final decision is.

I'm not sure if it's any help but usually pit tickets are amazing. MAYBE 10 rows worth of space if that. around row HH is where you're completely level with the stage view wise at a lot of venues. anything lower would be sweet but if you ask me a complete cocktease.

I'm leaning towards the pit for the same reasons as you. I don't mind being crowded a bit, but I've been in some real tight pits where you couldn't move,and I'm not into that anymore.

So long as there's some room to move around, I'll be good with that. I'm not really looking to be on the rail.

Hopefully someone here who's been in the pit there will chime in, and give us some idea of what to expect. It doesn't look like it's a real big pit area,so that'll be great, as long as it's not oversold.

I'm re-considering my decision after browsing the web for reviews and pictures. Seems like the pit is pretty small and somewhat crammed. The reserved seating is elevated and seems to have a much better overall view (though not as close to the stage, obviously). Also, the sound would probably be much better in the reserved areas, as the speakers wouldn't be directly above your head (I think the "sweet spot" for the sound would be near center row AA, as that is where the sound board is). Here are some comments/pictures/videos I found online...

"the pit at merriweather is medium-sized - not huge like at nissan pavilion, but i've seen smaller. when there are seats in the pit, they put in 10 rows."

""The pit is kinda small but, not a lot of space to jump around in wife had two crack ribs after the show cause of amount people in one area."

Finally, here is a video filmed from the pit, giving you a good idea how big (or small) it really is...
