Would like to see this performance with my brother. But I don't see them on the pre-sale or ticketmaster.com list?
Am I too soon? Too late? What are those headlights coming at me.. I can't look away.. help.
Edit: Ok, I found another list that shows 4/14/07 as start of ticket sales. Sorry, brain cramp. Move along, nothing to see here.

I'd go to the ampith..ampathe...err... Riverport (i like that name way better than the changes) on the 14th, they give out line tickets then they draw to see who gets to buy tickets first from the line. It works pretty well, got 2nd row on R30.

Im not overly familiar with the area...I live about 2 hours south of StL, but arent there 2 D&B's? Which one does everyone go to prior to the show? |
The D&B's located at
13857 Riverport Dr
Maryland Heights, MO 63043
is about 1 mile from the venue (14141 riverport is the venue address)
last tour Pix and I showed up about 2:30, but most people filtered in around 3:30-4:00

I didm not realize it was about a 5-6 hour drive for me.

However, unlike the Atlanta area & the venue there, I know absolutely nothing about this venue or the area. So any info from those familiar is welcome...what's the venue like...any good places to eat nearby...is it easily accessible or a traffic nightmare, etc etc.
Thanks!

Your first show, eh? You're going to be absolutely blown away. I guarantee you will enjoy every minute.

First of all, click on THIS LINK to see a hybrid map of the area to follow along. If it loads correctly (fingers crossed), you should see the amphitheater centered at the bottom of the pic. If not, adjust your view accordingly.
Pre-show party - Dave and Busters (the white, rectangular building at the top of the pic, near Hwy 70) is shaping up to be where most of the "board peeps" will be going (not only this forum, but also RushTour and Counterparts). It's especially cool if you have kids coming with you since they have a huge gameroom they can hang out in while the adults get their buzz on at the bar!

Parking & Traffic - This place can be a PITA to get in and out of, but if you've got an extra 20 bucks for VIP parking, it'll be relatively painless. As you can see on the map, Riverport Dr. is the only way in and out of this place. You'll also see the parking lot closer to the venue is a lighter shade of gray than the lots just to the north. The darker lots are the General parking lots and the cost is included in your ticket. That's the good news (first!). The bad news is that when you exit after the show, they funnel you back around to the north (past D&B's) to the Earth City/Maryland Heights Expressway. The hour or more you will spend in this gridlock will be a major buzzkill to the post-show high you'll still be on. If, however, you fork over the cash for the VIP parking (the light gray lot), you'll exit to the south and be on the Expressway literally within minutes.
Security & Venue Staff - While I've seen some minor improvements here and there lately, my biggest complaint about this venue has always been the Gestapo-esque attitude of the security and venue staff. This all stems from the infamous Axl Rose incident/riot in '92. I will say that they seem to be a bit more lax for artists whose primary audience is older adults, but by and large they keep a tight rein on people attempting to enjoy themselves (legally or otherwise). The main thing that'll get you in trouble is tailgating in the parking lot, but even then, the cops are always roving around on their ATVs and pretty much stop things before they get started. Also, if you are one who likes to take "A Passage To Bangkok"

Other Stuff To Do - Since the show is on a Friday night, and if you out-of-towners aren't in any hurry to get outta Dodge, the Cardinals are in town that weekend against the Braves (in addition to visiting Wrigley and Fenway, taking in a home Cards game should be on every diehard's to-do list). Of course, there's also The Arch, Six Flags, Anhueser-Busch Brewery, Forest Park, et al. And if you want a bit of Vegas to your trip, and don't want too journey to far from the Riverport area, Harrah's Casino is a stone's throw from the venue (on that map, near the upper-lefthand corner, right by the Missouri River).
So that's all I know for now. If you have other questions or whatever, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.
