Our meetup point this year will be at the Shop & Save in Imperial, which is about 15 minutes from the venue. (For those of you from out of town - Shop & Save is a grocery store. There's also a Beer Distributor in this plaza). The address is: 600 Market Pl Dr, Oakdale, PA 15071 Here's a map: https://goo.gl/maps/kKyfnfaU9cB2


The caravan will leave from Shop & Save at 3:00 pm. If you need to shop for supplies, please arrive earlier so you have shopping time and we can leave on time.

The maps attached give you directions to where to park if you want to be in the front lots with the main group.



Approach the venue in the second lane from the left.

Bear to the left to end up in the front parking lot:



i.e.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5q...ew?usp=sharing

and: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5q...ew?usp=sharing

We're each going to bring our own food and beverage (of course feel free to bring whatever you'd like to share).

Bought a pit ticket offline. Says Row MO8 which is weird. But it's a pit ticket. What's the difference between the Pit GA and Pit with a row?

I did the same thing. I searched high and low for an answer online and came up empty. Called the venue and TM to try to get an answer. TM told me there is no difference. Apparently it’s how they keep track of ticket counts.

Correct. You might even see section PIT2. All the same at starlake.

Does anyone know the pit procedure for TM tickets at starlake? Where to get wristband? Where to enter the pit?

[TheLastPig]

Not sure if still available but there was a pair of sec 1 row P FS on the warehouse

[HerdDave]

I have a Pit ticket, can anyone tell me what time I need to get in there and how fast to get a rail spot? First.time in the pit. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. That's a long concert to be squished in one spot. Looks like I may have to.limit.my drinking..lol

Can't you buy tickets to skip the line?

[HerdDave]

Also, where do you get pit a armbands and all.that mess.?

[HerdDave]

Also would it be worth the $10 for a fast pass to skip the line to get in? This might help with people who wont spend the $10 to do that and will have to wait in line.

[HerdDave]

Another question, is there some way to find out what the poster will look like the night before?

[blaket18]

Anyone tailgating in the premier lots?

Buy tix to skip the line? What are you talking about?

They have fast pass tickets you can buy so you don't have to wait for the normal lines. $10.

[HerdDave]

What are the odds this concert gets cancelled due to thunderstorms that day? I saw where they postponed the concert the other night due to storms. Man I hope not.

[Kevinbang]

They won't postpone for storms. They postpone for State Of Emergency. I've been to shows that hold the gates back until a storm blows through. This is actually a great scenario, clears the lines. They opened the gates at 7:00 & the opener started at 8:00. There was very little standing & waiting.

I actually did see these for sale on the TM website, as well. I had never heard of it before then. No clue how it supposedly works.

Just looked it up again and it’s called Fast Play Fast Lane.

[wvucarter]

I’m sure this has been asked multiple times but what time do the lots open? And is premiere parking the same
time?

[TheLastPig]

Wow yeah new to me. Is it for concessions and parking only I’m guessing?

[Kevinbang]

They do sell a "Fast Pass". $10. Buy it on the venue section. This line opens with general public. WH get entry prior to Fast Pass

Just found a post gazette article dated May 2 of this year. Apparently it’s a new thing for this summer series. They describe it as:

“Fast Play Fast Lane: Fans can get skip-the-line privileges at all gates, providing early entry courtesy of the PA Lottery’s Fast Play game. Fans showing their PA Lottery Fast Play ticket will gain access to shorter lines.”

[HerdDave]

Yeah just bought a ticket for fast pass. Will see how well it works.

[HerdDave]

Is the gates for parking opening at 4?

[Kevinbang]

From the Fast Pass purchase page.
Use the Fast Play Fast Lane to get in early and skip the line AFTER gates open. Purchase your Fast Lane voucher here or show your Pennsylvania Lottery Fast Play game ticket at the gates. (Must be accompanied by a concert ticket.)

[mandy18]

Yeah, I assume that fast pass thing just gets you through the gates faster. I’ve only timed the gates bad once - security was being asses at the gate the front lot funnels into. They were trying to have the VIP lots go to the back of that mass herd. I ignored them and got in quickly, but there was the potential to be stuck forever. I’ll probably buy a fast pass because I like to play the lottery anyway (I assume it’s also a lottery ticket).
