Great - thanks for the info! My friend also booked a room a few hours ago. Can't wait to lounge by the pool and drink some brewskies

    I can confirm this. My first show was Hartford lawn when I was 15 and there was tons of nonsense going on everywhere. I had a group of people that I stuck with and you will be alright if you do that. If people are raging next to you, just move somewhere else. Its a pretty big area.

    Hartford lawn is awesome, but not for 2 nights. I've hit the lawn since I was 16 in 2007. I'll still do lawn... plenty of normal 20-25 year olds out there.

    Quick question for the veterans. I've been to Hartford the past couple of years but always by my lawn seats the moment they go on sale. This year, since I am requesting both nights of SPAC and Jones Beach, I was thinking about holding off and buying lawn seats for Hartford N2 through ticketmaster a few weeks before the show. My question is: Does N2 usually sell out? Will I have a problem getting lawn seats if I wait?

    How difficult a ticket will N2 be for reserved seating?

    I never usually wait too long, but you should be fine getting lawns up to 2-3 weeks before the show. It should sell out, but not too fast.

    Public sale, nothing great I don't think.

    You should be able to find something on here, though. It's what I have been doing a past couple years.

    Yay Hartford both nights requested. Mansfield N1 trying out the VIP package and N2 taking my 11yr old niece to her 2nd show.

    last time was in 2003. Pavillion or bust.

    Wife and I are talking about going somewhere else this year in addition or instead of Hartford. That said, can't imagine not being there for both nights in June. It's tradition.

    and 2010 was the only N1 night one we've missed in 10 years other than 2008 when son was born week before. Gave tix to my brother. Wife could have crossed JTR, KKJ and BS off her list and I could have gotten my first BS. And Break for It debuted. Tough night to watch that set.

    Hartford lawn is great. Three of my four shows there in the lawn. All great experiences. The "shit show" is overblown. The only disaster I ever saw there was at tom petty ... the dmb crowd is usually awesome. And im 32. Ill be doing one night lawn one reserved.

    The shit show is often on the way to the venue and at certain spots in the lawn; it's there, but you may very well avoid it. I hit the lawn until '01 then said that was it, if you can afford it I'd take the ease of a seat and better sound plus you can really mosey on up to the lawn if you want.

    Yeah, that's what makes me worry about lawn. Yes, it can be avoided, but I am sure that I would feel compelled to get involved if it happened near me. That's usually why I try to stay to the outside or the top of the lawn.
