going to the jungle (i.e. Detroit)!!!!! ok..anyone have CHEAP 2 tix? 

I have 2 sets of 2 tix each that are section 333 (side view of stage) front row upper deck that I am trying to get rid of and would do so at face for a fellow fan. It came  to 162 for 2 tix with fees.

does anyone know which seats should be avoided (for eg. is section P3 Lower level ok (124, 111, 109)? these are the corner/pie lots...is the view obstructed by any chance? (I'm asking b/c I'm thinking they are reasonably priced) TIA

Hey CRD,

The closer to the field the better, ie lower rows.

Also avoid the aisle seats if you can.  Depending on where the entrances to the field seating are, the aisle can get pretty clogged up and obstruct your view.

Those middle rows and middle seats in 109 or 124 look pretty tempting and a decent value in my humble opinion.  Go for it!

I need to get some info from those attending this show; @billsguy, @misfitx77, @ZoSoRose, @Iron MikeyJ, @KURT19, @BigD62, @yourcrazy, @Subtle Signs, @Wagszilla, @Gorthar, @Ghost_Guns, @grubby, @fallingred85, @GoBucky, @GNRchickCLE and anyone else I may have missed.

How many of you are planning on attending my pre-party and how early would you like to start? If you haven't seen the current plan, please see Page 4 and let me know your thoughts.

I'll be off work that day, so I'm good to start as early as anyone else wants to. We've obviously got more than enough music & room to carry an all-day party. I know the gig is just over a month away, but I'm trying to get a rough idea of head count and time so my wife and I can plan accordingly. I'll have local friends/fans there along with some staff members so I already know what their plans are, I just need to know what other forums members are coming and a rough idea of when.

Thanks to anyone who can give me an idea of what to expect!

:lol::lol:I would totally do that! Speaking of you getting in the night before, let me know if you need/want lodging. You're welcome to the same set up you had last time.

I also missed @DanielCT in my original post but I think he's looking at late afternoon, early evening for arrival.

Yeah, that would be awesome if it's no hassle. Thanks so much! :)

Hey @RussTCB

We might be heading down to the Tiger game in the afternoon, depending on the weather.  If that's the case, I'd love to stop by early if you're OPEN FOR BUSINESS!  So somewhere between 4 AM ( @Powerage5)  and 1:00 PM, I have to see that room of yours somehow!

Hahaha, this 4am thing is catching on. I thought I remembered some saying they might go to the Tigers game, so that's one of the reasons I'm interested in starting early. If the game is at 1pm, I'll be more than happy to kick the party off as early as 9am so everyone can hang for a while.

Yes, in the afternoon - my best guess would be 4 o'clock but I'll try to make it earlier. The earlier I can get out work the better. As I said a while back that place is a ghost town after 3:30-4 o'clock, and it shouldn't take too long to get to your place from there.

Earlier the better! I have GA so want a decent spot! Although the pits are tiny so it may not matter

Also, it'll probably be just me. May bring one or two other people depending if my friends are coming to the show

 

Edit- Does anyone else have GA or will be going early? I'd like to car pool if possible cause I don't like driving downtown lol

I'm guessing doors 7pm, show 8pm, AIC 9pm, GNR 10pm? Those details will influence my personal itinerary. 

That said, I look forward to coming by and hanging out with everyone. 

I would guess that'll be the deal, yeah.

Park at the casino in Windsor(it's free) and walk over and take the tunnel bus over. That is what me and my buddy are doing.

Right on. I appreciate you letting me know though. I'm pretty much just trying to get a rough head count at this point.

Looks like my buddy and I will be stopping in at some point during the pre-party.  We appreciate the hospitality.  We are staying through Saturday and going to the Tigers/Indians game Friday night.

Right on. As the show draws closer, I'll shoot a PM to everyone with an address and directions. We're very easy to get to from pretty much anywhere in the area you might be staying and we're about 20 mins from Ford Field for when everyone wants to head down to the show.

Hey @gunsguy The Ford Field site is selling prepaid parking for $25.00 in the deck.

(There might be a service fee added at checkout) Here's the Link:

Ford Field GNR Parking Pass

Awe man sold out :(  Wish I would have noticed that in my excitement to get tix lol

 

Anyone have any other options for parking, or close by and cab or something?  I want vehicle to be safe etc even though its just a minivan, nothing special it is all I got :)
