So, this link:
says:
WEDS 10th OCT: DENVER Broomfield 1st Bank Center on sale August 3rd 10am
and then links here:
which says tickets are on sale August 10th at 10am.
Ticketmaster doesn't even list the Denver show yet.
So, does anybody know if a presale is happening on Aug. 3rd, and if so, where? If it's Aug. 10th, fine, I just don't want to miss out and discover the show sold out a week earlier. [:eek]
Turns out you can buy them on presale today.

No clue. I've flown through and driven through there but never actually gone out there. Maybe somebody local will have some suggestions.
If you have a few hours, a trip to Mt. Evans is pretty damn interesting. You drive up a "road" carved into the side of the mountain, which ends about 100 ft or so shy of the actual summit...make an easy hike to the top, then you can tell all your friends you've been to the top of a 14,000 foot mountain...ooooh...except I forget...by October the road will probably be closed...
too bad...there's lots of interesting scenery on that drive...
Drive out to Golden and take the Coors brewery tour...the tour itself sucks...but the three free beers are your reward...and if they still have the recipe from before prohibition to sample, it's pretty good...for a Coors product....

Just bought me tix. Looking forward to the 12 hour drive. not looking forward to telling Wifey that we are going. Perhaps take someone else. This is the third time that I have purchased tickets for New Order but I have yet to see them due to circumstances out of my control. Hoping that my ship does not get sunk for the third time!![[:(]](/emoticons/frown.gif){kind=small}
Hope to meet you all there. Call me The Stranded Viking

You could give me a lift on the way ![[hi]](/emoticons/hi.gif){kind=small}
But seriously, I thought of driving, too (9 hours) and then I checked airline tickets: it's practically the same price considering gas and meal breaks, if not cheaper to fly. So I think I will get on airplane.

Renting a car would be cheaper (=$19).
Skyride bus from airport to Boulder. Mountain Sun Brew Pub in Boulder then bus to venue. Or split rental fee

Sounds like a good plan.
I met with people from New Belgian Brewery who I will be working with on Sunday for Urban Assault Ride. It was his suggestion. There is a bus from Boulder to the venue and back. Skyride resumes operations from Boulder to the airport at 330 am for those that want to get home asap.

Ideally, I'd prefer to fly back home early next morning (job, etc.). Got no airplane tickets yet. It's a good idea to rent a car to get around and split.
Keep in touch and PM me. Plane tix jumped $20 from last week. Got 2 round trippers for $380
I bought plane tickets last week. Haven't sorted out hotel yet, any suggestions on where to stay?

What timer is your flight in and out? Thinking about Boulder unless something decent and thrifty near venue. Must be near booze!😈
Getting in Wednesday around 4PM, leaving Thursday around 5PM. Haven't decided if I'm going to rent a car yet.
Booked a place near the U of Colorado in Boulder. Near bus line. Have to leave venue and get on bus at 1052pm, not a problem hope there is a pub nearby for the wait b/c NO will only play 15 tracks or so. Americas Best Value Inn and Suites, $78 with tax, yeah, I am cheap and considering that this room is for a few hours of sleep, I don't care. Looking forward to raiding college bars after the show.
Can someone post up a pre-gig meet?
A bar near the venue, either someone who knows the area or whoever gets their early!
From looking at Google there's only one bar within walking distance of the venue. Aloft Broomfield.
