They also have those reserved lawn seating sections whatever... so the regular lawn area is fairly smaller ...

Reserved lawn seating is a joke. And such a scam.

What is reserved lawn seating? What sections do I need to avoid there?

Avoid reserved lawn seating.. Years ago the put seats on the front part of the lawn. And charge the same as if you're in a seat in the third row. I go to probably 5-8 shows a summer there and reserved lawn seating is such a scam.

Sections are 9-14 or 8-14 I believe. It's essentially "preferred lawn", just seats in the open air but they charge $20 more than lawn for it.

Does "Preffered Lawn" even fill up? Not sure I've seen a full section up there

So is it actually chairs, like in the rest of the pavilion, just not under cover? Or is it a roped off section of grass, but limited people to keep it more manageable and charge $20 more.

Also, thanks for your help. You are a good soul with kind eyes.

Is it pretty clear what to order when you're going through the Warehouse?

It is uncovered seating and as others have said it is a wasted of money. As far as I can remember it is clear cut what to order through the Warehouse, but I always request pit.

Exactly. It's seated sections just not under cover. There's a wide concrete walkway between it and the actual pavilion, probably about 15 feet. I remember one year when ordering it was listed as Uncovered Pavilion, but another year it was listed as just Pavilion. This year however, it's only $40.50, so same price as Lawn. Looks like they caught on how much of a crock it was to charge $65-75 for it. Any more questions about the venue or the area feel free to ask. Happy to help.

Tickets requested! Anyone know where they draw the line for the $75 reserved seats? That's all I could request 4 of.

Premier parking is $45, wonder if it's worth it.

Excited to check out a new venue though!

My request is in as well. The premier I hear is worth it, but I like to hang out in the parking lot after watching all the lost drunks while the lots empty

$85 SHOULD be just section 2, but I have a feeling they will be sections 1, 2, 3, and Pit

Well, this is a terrific question. I also am wondering about this.

Put your drinks in a red cup and don't act like a jack-ass and you will be fine. If your out of state, bring your passport so you can buy drinks inside.

This. It really depends on the day but cops are usually ok if you're just hanging. I haven't parked in Premiere but it's supposed to be better. The independent lots are much better in terms of tailgating experience IMO. Good call on the passport btw. If you're under 25 from out of state they're super sticklers. State law, so not much they can do.

[Hilly]

At first, I read that and said "Passport? I guess I'm missing the joke." After a quick google search, good lord.

Oh yeah, that's a real thing. Any other questions about the venue or the area?

I've gone every year and I've always parked in the free public lots. The police are definitely harder on young tailgaters. If you look like you could possibly be under 21, they'll keep an eye on you and bust you for drinking. If you're older and being respectful (red cup, not being crazy) you'll be fine. Also, when you first get there, don't immediately pull out the alcohol. Get other stuff set up because the police patrol hard right after you first park. Once you've been there a bit, they don't bother you much. And bring two forms of ID and/or passport if you're from away and you plan on buying alcohol in the venue.

[DMBarsenault]

In my experiences premiere tailgating is a bit more tame obviously than the public lots. Premiere isn't bothered too much by cops either. I hope they treat the Hartford>Mansfield shows as separate shows and we don't get too many repeats. I think the Ct-Ma run will be a good one!

[seekup41nancies]

I put in a premiere parking request as well. Too old for this shit haha.
