Possibly going to this show since I will be in Philly that weekend.
Does anyone know if it is an all ages venue?  I looked it up and saw that it's at a casino, and some of their facilities are 21+, yet they don't specify regarding concerts.  Hope someone knows, thanks

Hmm, might have to go to this one too.  Maybe get a room on Friday with a friend and spend Friday night and Saturday losing money.  Make a whole weekend of it.

Three DT shows in 4 nights.  Sounds good!

I'll more than likely be going to this, and will likely at least blow some money at the craps tables beforehand.

This is twenty minutes from the house.  Awaiting ticket sale date too.  If I find out, I'll post.  As for venue, I heard that they are waiting to see how the Lynyrd Skynyrd gig goes on the race track to make a decision.  Think it would suck outside.

I'll definitely be attending this gig wherever it's at. It might actually be kind of cool to see DT outside.

    I didn't even see any info on the Casino's website.

I live only around 20 minutes away, so I definitely plan to go. Though I'll have to find out if it really is a 21-only venue, as I don't want to purchase tickets only to not be let in.

so its finally on ticketmaster, tickets on sale this friday.  the only thing i dont really understand is the layout of the seats...
this is the layout: https://media.ticketmaster.com/tm/en-us/tmimages/venue/maps/phi/42806s_a.gif
it seems as if close to the stage are seats, and ga standing is in the back? seems odd to me, anyone familiar with the venue?

My buddy is a Diamond Club member here.  He said that they are setting it up like the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert.  From his description, I'm gathering a mental picture such as the attached (no commenting....not the fulltime job).

Those with other sources; the stage is at the Results Board, with seating aligned.

Yes, if anyone has the presale password, please do share! I'm almost tempted to spend the $275 I don't have and get a VIP package to avoid all of the stress. (VIP packages for this show go on sale tomorrow at 10AM, btw.)

As someone who has to travel either way, I'd MUCH rather it be outside the city.

Well, I just bit the bullet and bought a VIP package for this show. It's about time I meet these guys in person. I'll figure out a way to pay for it somehow, lol.

Those VIP packages definitely caught my eye as well, but $275 is just too much at the moment. 

    Someday though...

Just returned from the venue.  Computers down and put on a call list.  No promo code yet.  Will return when called and post it asap.

As for setup; would appear that the stage will be at the '50 yard line'.  Infield seats on the track, Grandstand is the bleachers, General Admission is the outdoor and partially covered patio.

Side SNAFU note; hope they play loud.  The track is directly beneath the Philly airport flight path.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try go get "seating" because the General Admission feels kind of far.

Probably the best choice.  Grandstand seating is nice and not too far away.  These seats are built into the concrete risers with plenty of elbow room.

Hitting the Diamond Club before the gig for $2 drinks and meal.

I'll probably go with the infield. Its $10 more but w/e :)

I just hope when you pick "best available", they don't give you seats towards the side which is what happened to me last time.
