Warehouse Fan Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Warehouse is the official fan association for Dave Matthews Band. Founded on December 4th, 1998, Warehouse gives fan early access to concert tickets, exclusive CDs and merchandise to its members. The current fee for membership is $35 per year, up from the original price of $30.

Warehouse is run by Musictoday, a Charlottesville, Virginia-based company run by DMB manager Coran Capshaw. The success of the Warehouse led to Musictoday running similar online fan clubs for other major artists. Musictoday was recently acquired by major concert promoter Live Nation.

[edit] Distribution of Tickets

The primary perk of a Warehouse membership is the ability for fans to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Fans enter a lottery to enter for this ability, and are usually informed if they got tickets from Warehouse before the general on-sale date through Ticketmaster, or other outlets.

  • For the Dave Matthews Band tours from 1999-2001, the allotment of tickets was provided to fans via a lottery, weighted toward seniority. Members who joined in the Warehouse's earlier years got better seat locations than newer members.
  • In 2002, with the band playing more smaller venues, and to attempt to sign up new members, Warehouse adopted a new "random seniority" method. Seniority now only applies to the ticket allotment of some concerts, and not others. Fans are not told in advance which shows will utilize the seniority method, until the pre-sale has been completed and the non-refundable tickets have been paid for.
  • In 2003, Seniority was not in effect for the Warehouse distribution of tickets for the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds acoustic tour.
  • Later that year, when Dave Matthews Band played a free concert at Central Park in New York, New York, tickets were given to all Warehouse members that requested them, only charging them for postage via FedEx or UPS. Outside of the Warehouse allotment, few tickets were available to the general public.

[edit] Warehouse Fan Club Releases

Starting in 2000, Warehouse club members received an annual gift package including a exclusive Warehouse CD, which is exclusive to club members and not sold in stores. All of the CDs except for one (see 2001) are Warehouse 5 volumes and contain five live tracks from various tours. In 2003, the first Warehouse 8 volume was released and distributed to those who had been members for three years or more. The Warehouse 8 releases have three additional tracks than the Warehouse 5, totaling eight tracks, hence its name.
