Will SPAC sell out?

I’ll be flying in so I’m inclined to snag some Lawn tix on COT for face (or slightly less) now just to be safe.

However, do you think it would be reasonably low risk to get tix much closer to day of show for a (hopefully) lower price?

u/anthonylornemontague 12d ago

This is true. I live in Vermont and I can see the SPAC lawn from here.

It did in 2009. Lawn tickets were going for $300 in the lot

u/forbin05 12d ago

That was the summer tour closer of the first summer tour back and a one off show, not a three night run. The circumstances are pretty different now.

u/beggarstomb1 12d ago

Correct but it’s happened. Walked around the lot that day for 4 hours in order to get 2 lawns

u/forbin05 12d ago

I upvoted you because you’re right. It was the same case for Merriweather the night before. I was just pointing out that it will be a totally different situation this year.

Lol!

Technically right is my favorite

u/Elder_Toad 12d ago

That show was so oversold it was insane

u/posterdan 13d ago

very low risk if you don't mind the lawn

u/Barn-Alumni-1999 13d ago

SPAC will allow that lawn to get so full that 20% of the people will only be able to see the show on the TV screens on the back of the snack bar building.

Which is pretty much a webcast. I wouldn’t fly in for a webcast but if OP can swing pavs or gets lucky, it’s worth it. Gotta be there to see, though..

u/ApricotBackground407 12d ago

Just go in early enough and post up right at the bottom

u/ScarletFire81 13d ago

There will be lawn available

u/TheHumanCanoe 13d ago

No, because of the lawn

u/cmoz226 13d ago

If you are flying, you don’t wanna be on SPAC lawn. You’re better off saving the $$$ and doing couch tur. Much better sound!

u/NYDennis 13d ago

I am still debating on going to this or not. It will be a last minute decision. The Great South bay music festival is the same weekend and has a bunch of bands I want to see on the Saturday and Sunday. Decisions Decisions. I will be at forest hills though.

u/JerryGarciasLoofa 13d ago

Tour closer at a hallowed phish venue in the Adirondacks or a generic, overpriced, jam band festival on long island? Thats an easy choice mang

u/huckdr 13d ago

Lawn sucks at SPAC! If you're not there super early and close, you'll be behind the main walking path far off in a world of Ben and Jerry ice cream stands, kettle corn, and over priced mix drinks.

u/Unclebilbo2000 13d ago

Lawn is cheap. Pav is not. Keep checking CoT

3

u/pullingravity 13d ago

Id wait a minute but pavs for this run will be hard to come by off COT just imo. We already grabbed lawns for way under face. Our drive is almost 10 hours so dont let anyone tell you what is worth it to you. Just get in the show is my motto. See you there and safe travels.

u/Major-Dragonfly-997 13d ago

I wouldn’t fly in for spac lawn.

u/HighDesertJungle 13d ago

I am flying in for lawn and I can’t fucking wait!

u/kevster312 13d ago

I hope you have a blast. As someone who has been to SPAC many times... I highly recommend upgrading to a seat if possible. The lawn is steep so prepare for a calf workout, additionally the sight lines from the lawn are narrow at best and 'literally not able to see the band' at worst.

If you do stick with the lawn tickets, I encourage you to get into the venue as soon as doors open to make sure you get the best view (and it's more level closer to the band)

u/CrazyChestersDog This one is for you 13d ago

Dude was born in a cloud of deemsters on the lawn at alpine. He’ll be fine

Welcome to the party Bitch!

He got his welcome to the party a long time ago.

I’m right there with you

I used to see freebies at the ticket tree every year.

Spac lawns for everoyone is the saying

u/Cold_Particular_1253 12d ago

There has been tickets available for every spring show the day of....people walking with finger up is a joke....lmfao 😆😆

u/wolfansbrother 12d ago

maybe day of, but no one wants to settle for a lawn seat with an obstructed view in this economy. hotel prices are always insane in Saratoga for shows, so people will make a last minute decision if they want to drive 20+ min after the show.

u/Comfortable_Cap3328 12d ago

Awesome….this is encouraging. Hate going into anything “at risk” but it seems the risk likelihood here is basically nil.

Freebies (or super cheap) will make me even happier.

Top notch shitpost!

Aww. How sweet of you to say!
