To begin with join the Warehouse, the DMB fan club at http://www.warehouse.davematthewsband.com/. They have members only ticketing which will ensure that you get tickets and can give you the possibility of getting good seats, although there really isn’t a bad seat in the house.

The Warehouse ticketing starts in (this is also when they announce their tour schedule) late Feb-early March and allows a few weeks for purchasing. Over the last couple of years there have been two or three shows over a weekend in August or Sept so we normally go up and see all of them.

The Gorge (http://www.hob.com/venues/concerts/gorge/) is about 3 hours east of Seattle in George, Wa in the middle of no where. There is camping but you need to be prepared for an all weekend party, no shade and general mayhem. We actually stay about 1/2 hour east in Moses Lake, WA. It is a little bit nicer to have a room to go back to after every show. Have fun!
