Thanks. Sounds like a pretty good situation. How's the lawn here?

Requests are in! Had nice uppers last year with a great view of the stage towards the center aisle. Just booked a room at the Marriott Courtyard (only a few rooms left)

Been a minute since I've been around these parts. I'm alive and well and ready to see you peeps in Charlotte.

[ajc_1988]

now it's a party! can't wait to see you all again in the lotte of char!

[slygrooves2dmb2]

It's going to be a good time for sure. Bringing my sister and my niece again this year. They had a blast last year.

[morecornbread!!]

Can't wait for this show! Going lawn since it is a nicer amphitheater than Atlanta's (had to choose lawn for one and seats for another, so went seats in Atlanta).
Hoping to get Hello Again or Cry Freedom, but not holding my breath

Any idea of how difficult taxi service is in the area? Not looking to drop me off right at the venue. I think it would be better to find a location that would be a 5/10min walk to the venue.

[ajc_1988]

i've never taxied after the charlotte show, but i do know that getting out of the lots is a shitshow, takes forever unless you leave during the last song.

nice.....And who leaves during the last song?!?!

[ajc_1988]

the past three shows i went to last songs were: ddtw 14, shake me 13, and billies in 12

none of those are worth sitting in traffic for hours, for me at least

[slygrooves2dmb2]

I usually just wait it out. Eat some food, drink a Redbull, and talk about the show with whoever I'm with.

[Screaminreels]

We are trying to figure out the sober driver or catch a cab that would give us a 10/15 min walk to the venue. We would start hoofing it afterwards in a direction that would be easier for a cab to pick us up if it would work out.

[ajc_1988]

uber is also an option, although i suspect they'd have surge pricing or whatever due to the concert

not sure if a cab company will surge pricing, but I looked at a cab company online and based on their rates, it would cost just under $50 for 4 people, one way. 18 min ride that is 16.7 miles from the venue.

Just got hard charges through the Warehouse for 3 $75 reserves. Think I could have done better through ticketmaster. I'm disappointed but it is what it is.

[ajc_1988]

i didn't request through wh for charlotte, but they seem to always stick everyone in section 7, which isn't too bad

[Screaminreels]

Really am struggling with the fact that I am not going to be trying for best available come public sale. Some friends suck lol

[dpduke5173]

Interesting just got hard charges for lowers. Hope that doesn't change. My uppers have been getting better the last couple years. Haven't had lowers at this venue before.

[onthecorner4]

Ive been to Charlotte the last two years. Lawn is by far one of the best places to sit.

[Mateo2k]

Looks like I'll be going here this year? How's this venue? Family friendly?

[ajc_1988]

very. charlotte is an awesome venue.

Glad to hear it. Assumed it was since NC is generally pretty awesome. Looking forward to checking this place out this year.

Traffic can be awful coming in. You're better off taking 485 to exit 33 (inner or outer loop). Take 49 to Harris Houston Rd. Follow that all the way to the end, take a right onto Pavillion Blvd and you're literally right there and skipped the whole traffic line!

Nice tip.

[Screaminreels]

Any idea what time the parking lots typically open for tailgating?

[ajc_1988]

4 or 5 i think

I just googlemaps this, and it def seems to be a good tip. Thanks. Hope I remember come show day lol.

How is the tailgating? I typically go to Hartford (feel like things get pretty crazy there), and SPAC (nice, relaxing tailgate). How would you rate Charlotte?

[slygrooves2dmb2]

Charlotte is great for tailgating. We always have a great time.
