Hey, the Baltimore, MD show at 1st Mariner Arena is only 5 days from now but I haven't seen any threads or posts from anyone ...

Who's going? My 19 year old daughter, Michelle and I will be there (section 2, row P)! And we're planning on getting there early for the busses (crossing fingers!)!

Please post if you're going and if you're coming early and where you'll be sitting! Let's get some excitement going for this show!

I was planning on going but my brother surprised me with Mets/Nationals baseball tickets in DC the same day. I'll be so close but so far away! I hope you find people that are going!

Hey Suze, bumping your thread so more people will see it. I wish I were going!

i'm going... but i'm going with a friend and sitting in an upper level side view section cause he wouldn't want to be all up in the crazy crowd.

this will be my 6th show in 2 weeks... i'm not going early or staying after. but i'm still excited. i still get excited every show.

I would have liked to consider it - but it's hard being a week night and I have meetings at work the next day. If it was a weekend night - I would have loved to attend.

Everyone who is going - enjoy.

Awww, Jenney ... girl you KNOW I wish you were going too ... and sitting with me!!!

I had bought a ticket to go but not sure if I will be able to because I don't have a ride to get home. If I do manage to find a way then I will attend.

Me my mom and dad are going (section 114 row m) thanks to ALL the word nerds who pulled their money together to get me the seats after all the handicapped seats were "Sold out" you all are my heroes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suze - I have been thinking the same thing. I tried to start a thread awhile back but it just seems like no one is excited about this show. That makes me sad

Anyway - I am going. I only live like a mile from the arena so I want to be there early. I don't know anyone who is going. Maybe we could meet up and wait for the buses?? That would be pretty neat. How early were you planning? I took the day off work so I could go as early as I wanted. I am sitting in section 101 row B.

I am so excited! I know there have to be other people just as excited (right?).

Shoshana

Shoshana, I'M excited!!!!

Yes, we can definitely meet up! Michelle and I plan on getting there around 11:00 to 11:30 ... I took the day off too! In fact, I'm on Cookcation next Tuesday through Friday, since I'm going to both Baltimore and DC

Cookcation - that is awesome. I busted up laughing and my dog looked at me like I was a crazy person

11-11:30 is kinda what I was thinking too. That seems to be what all the people who have met them have said. We'll have to figure something out to meet up. I don't know anyone who is a DC fan and my boyfriend looks at me like I am nuts if I even mention him. Oh well. This board is an outlet

Shoshana

WOW, SIXTH show?!?! Lucky you! Were you able to meet David at the other five? Which shows did you go to?

I'm determing if I'm crazy enough to buy tickets for another show. LOL

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!!

I broke down and did it last week!

lol you are an instigator!

ok, so what does it mean if there is a AA? for example, AA section 103?

Hmmmm ... sometimes double letter rows are in the front of the single letter rows ... but sometimes they're behind them. Depends on the venue. Sooo, I think you would have to call 1st Mariner to find out for sure.

But ... I just checked Tickemaster and there is a seat in section 2, row O ... section 2 in B'more starts with row J ... so that's 6th row! The row in front of me!

I will be there. My sister and I are going. I took the day off work and am coming down the night before and staying in a hotel. I'm planning on getting there sometime around 11 AM.

AHHHH! You are such a bad influence! Totally just bought those...lol

First Mariner doesn't seem to have a seating chart for the Idol tour. Anyone have a clue what seating this would be comparable to?

Their main concert one- just keep in mind that there is a catwalk in section 2, so the front row is J (thanks for finding that out Suze). You could also call and check with someone at the box office.

Me Me!! I'm going! I wasn't going to take the whole day off, but now I'm re-thinking it. When will I ever have a chance again!

I'm bring my 2 girls with me. Ages 9 and 4, so I'm not sure they'd want to hang out all day in the sun waiting for them. If not, I'll definitely be there by 5:30 or so.

I'm in the 200's section, close to the stage. I've gotta remember to get some earplugs for my girls.

I have 2 tickets to the Baltimore show that I need to sell.
Section 101, Row F, Seat 4 & 5.
Selling for face value.

Please pm me if you are interested. Thanks!

Hey, I'm going to the Baltimore show with my 12yo daughter & her friend. We're both excited, counting the days! We are planning on getting there between 11-12 for the buses, hoping for autographs and pics!!! We are in sec 112, row BB. I hope they are not too far, never been there before. We're coming from PA, only about 1 hour drive.

fOUR MORE DAYS!!!!!

So glad we've got some excitement going now!!!

its not coming fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*taps foot impatiently* want to see David now!

Suze, I'm putting you in charge of making sure David knows our team is going to be out there on Thursday

I will do my best, you can believe that!

Hey ... Thursday is DC, Jess ... this is the B'more thread!

Hehe, I know..but you're seeing him in Baltimore

*smacks foreahead* duh! blonde moment!

Hey, aren't you coming to B'more too?

I'm going!!!!!!!

I live in Sykesville, I've been here for 2 days, and I'm still figuring out how to get to the arena.

As in directions or logistics of how to get there?

Awww, how sweet you're bringing your girls! (have 3 daughters myself!) They'll love it! But yeah, depending on their temperament it could be a long day ... come early if you can though!

I am, but I'm not going to be able to come up until later in the day. I feel bad missing more than one session in a week.

I'm a little over an hour away myself ... coming from Northern VA.

Have a safe trip down and I look forward to meeting all of you!

Concet in 3 days...squeee!

Have a question for those of you planning to be there late morning: where exactly are you going to be?

Good question!

When I called the box office last week to ask a seating question, I asked the man who answered about the busses. After we finally established that I was asking about the busses for the performers, he said "Well, we don't tell people about that because often the artist doesn't want people to know." I replied, "Well, in this case, let's assume they do ..."

He laughed and said "They come in on the Hopkins Plaza side"

Sooo, that's where I'm planning on going!

And by the way, any of you Marylanders who want to donate to our Team (see banner below) please feel free, since there is no MD team that I'm aware of ... and we're a pretty cool team so we will take donations from anyone anywhere!!!

Thanks! I did break down and buy a ticket the other night. Not sure if I'm coming down early or not.

Great! Thanks for the info. Does anyone know is there parking at the arena or are there garages near by?
THREE MORE DAYS!!!!!

From their website: Parking:

There are approximately 22,000 parking spaces in the general vicinity, and an 850-car garage attached to the facility on Howard Street for the convenience of patron parking


Suze, you are made of win. Sounds like your guy was helpful. Maybe you could work your charm on the Verizon Center?

There's various garages in the immediate area.

Hey I'll be somewhere near you in the row!

I am off on Tuesday as luck would have it... I just need to find the right excuse to tell hubby why I'm leaving extra early for the concert. He'll never let me live it down otherwise! LOL

Hey guys, thanks for the parking info! We are just about down to 2 DAYS now!!!
I read no MAVID dance tonight. I sure hope we get one!!!

OMG, I am so totally sad and mad about this Mavid development.

I just can NOT understand why they would tell them to stop doing it!!! Seriously, don't they realize how popular it's become? What are they thinking????

From the 8/9 concert thread:


What do you say guys? Up for it?

I'll be there!!!! Only TWO more days!!! YAYYYYYYYY!!!!

As long as I'm not the only one dancing!

I'm curious about something. They have the day off tomorrow, so chances are DC might be whisked away tonight(?). In the instances where they've had a day off, is he usually out in the afternoon the next day, or does he tend to arrive a bit late? Anyone ever track that?

(Still trying to come up with a good excuse for sneaking down there in the afternoon. )

TOTALLY up for it!

But I'm not doin' the Titanic ... maybe cababge patch ... or the sunglasses ... or ballet ...

LOL. You won't be. MJ fans are in on this too. Should def. spread it around before the show as well.

I'm not sure about off days. Maybe some past threads have something about this?



LOL. I think the Titanic may already be covered. There are so many moves to chose from...but I'm def. pulled toward the ballet, since it was the last one they did...

Okay Baltimore ... it's up to us to really be the place where "Please Don't Stop the Mavid" really has a chance to take hold!!!

Bring signs, chant MAVID DANCE before PDSTM and do your own Mavid dance moves in your seat at the place in the show were they've been doing the Mavid dance moves.

LETS DO IT!
