What should i expect at a Dave Matthews Band Concert?

Question

How long should i get there before the show? I have lawn seats/tickets and i would like to be pretty close.

Will there be a lot of people smoking weed?

Opening act: Black Crowes

Overall i was wandering what i should expect. I know its going to be a blast

Answer 1

Expect an awesome concert.....if you are a Dave fan.  Lawn tickets?  You probably will only get to see the big screens, so it really will not matter what time you get there.  Also, once the music starts playing, your"seat" will no longer be.  People will be dancingand moving around quite abit.  Weed, I smelled it at the concert I went to, but it was way to crowded to pinpoint "one" person or group.

Go and ENJOY!

First of all, being on the lawn does not mean you will be close, you will have 7,000 people in front of you in the pavilion even if you are in the front of the lawn. If you want to be at the front of the lawn you have to be in the venue right when doors open, usually at 5:00pm, that means expect to be in line at the doors at least 90 minutes ahead of time, otherwise lawn is first come first serve, you get a spot where you can find one. You can get inside at any point, but expect to get in there right away if you want to be at the front of the lawn.
