If you want to not be hassled during your tail gating and to be out of the parking lot before 12:30, park in the EZ Out lot just off the highway. It's $30-$40 depending on the show, but 100% worth it.

    tailgating was alright, traffic meh, you have to be 25 with two forms of id to buy a beer
    that's if you're out of state, Mass ID's are OK, have to be 21 obviously though.

    That is so very kind of you, fine sir! I will be going this year just don't know the details yet. Some hometown people may want to head up as well. We will work it all out but plan on going. I don't care too much about getting there early for Mansfield to be honest. The only thing that's going to matter is if it's an amazing summer day. Then the traffic will be a nightmare!

    You're going away from cape cod though, so it won't be too bad.

    Why do people think they bumped it down to one show?? Lack of ticket sales? I feel like it's always like 90% full there

    Most excited I've been for a tour in a long time. This really opens up a world of possibilities if the band commits to making it as great as it can be.

    definitely pay the 30 bucks or so for better parking. you will be sitting in your car for 1 hr+ otherwise after the show is over

    For anyone who's planning on going the camping route, I recommend checking out Normandy Farms Campground. http://www.normandyfarms.com/ I have camped there for the past two summers for shows and it a is a great spot that's only 15 minutes from the venue. The prices are reasonable, it's clean and it has a resort-like feel with lots of amenities. There were quite a few tenters around us last year who were going to the show too, so it made it a pretty good experience.

    Looks like the "Open Air Reserved Seats" are priced as lawn seats. Finally, pricing that makes sense for those crappy seats

    This is a huge relief. I got stuck with them a few years ago and had to pay reserved pricing. Requested tickets to 7 shows this morning. Ohhhh my poor bank account...

    It was nowhere near full. The side-rear sections of reserved had huge chunks of empty seats about halfway through the show when I looked back. Made me a little sad to see it really.
