Homecoming 2016
I know it is still a ways off, but does anyone have an idea when the exact dates of Homecoming will be for 2016?
Coming from the West Coast, the further in advance we can book travel, the better the likelihood we will finally make it to the Big Show.
Thanks in advance, really hoping this is the year we get to meet up with you all...

I think you're looking at least November before we get confirmed dates unfortunately. Last year the shows were announced on 12/2.PeterG wrote:I know it is still a ways off, but does anyone have an idea when the exact dates of Homecoming will be for 2016?

Re: Homecoming 2016
Best guess is is mid-February. I wouldn't book anything based on a guess however. They usually announce the dates about 2 months in advance.PeterG wrote:I know it is still a ways off, but does anyone have an idea when the exact dates of Homecoming will be for 2016?

Re: Homecoming 2016
Agreed. Keep an eye on the President's Day weekend fares. If you can, try to fly in on Wednesday and out on Sunday. Yes, I know shows don't start until Thursday. Just trust me on this.brett27295 wrote:Best guess is is mid-February. I wouldn't book anything based on a guess however.

Last two years have both been on Valentines weekend. So best guess would be Feb 11-13. Obviously like others stated above thought these dates are no where close to certain.

Circumstances caused us to miss homecoming last year after a 7 year run. Seeing this early speculation made me smile

No idea but I'll be there. Going to try and get there Wednesday this year. My wife thinks I'm nuts. She already thinks Thursday through Sunday is a lot.

Re: Homecoming 2016
We drove down Wednesday after work this past year after driving down Thursday morning in previous years (except the year we got snowed in and didn't make it until Friday.) I hope this year we can leave Wednesday morning & arrive in the early afternoon.

Re: Homecoming 2016
With the lightning that canceled most of this week's show in Tuscaloosa, my next chance to see DBT is Homecoming. The fall dates were either too far to drive or on dates that interfere with work/life obligations.
The day that the Homecoming dates are announced, I'll be asking for time off work.

Re: Homecoming 2016
I'm fortunate in that I have several customers in GA that I can see so getting there early is easy when combined with work. Lurleen's job is conducive to this as well. We always plan on Wdenesday. It makes that Thursday more fun because you're not exhausted from traveling. On top of that there is always something fun to do with the people on Wednesday night. I'd highly recommend it. We may actually get in Monday or Tuesday this year and make a week of it.

Re: Homecoming 2016
I did Tuesday two years ago (the snow year), and Monday last year. It's the best. A few days to do "regular athens" stuff before all the chaos beings. With my birthday falling on the 11th I love the scheduling and hope it happens again this year.

Re: Homecoming 2016
I support the Monday/Tuesday decision. I know our overseas folks appreciate the heads up so they can begin shopping for the best deals on flights.

Also, it would make you very happy. You should do it in '16.

Re: Homecoming 2016
If all goes according to plan this US resident will be down in Buenos Aires seeing the Stones over Homecoming weekend. The sacrifices we make
If that falls through, I will be arriving in Athens on Wednesday. Homecoming is just too great a weekend to miss.

Megabus still hasn't put up fares for January. I'm checking it daily, just in case.

Re: Homecoming 2016
A fair point! I'm assuming fares for February will come when the fares past January 6th do. I believe those went up a little early to cover the holiday season.brett27295 wrote:Shouldn't you be checking for February?John A Arkansawyer wrote:Megabus still hasn't put up fares for January.
