We will be having a party bus from the Kansas City BBQ in San Diego down to Chula Vista. Should be about 10 of us going. Show number 41 for me. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am. Is there any presale???? We have a staff meeting at 9am that morning and don't want to miss the rush right at 10am for the good seats.

Live Nation just released tickets in the upper half of level 300 (except for the middle section) for $36 + Fees. This is the same price as the lawn, except you're a little closer, you have a seat, and you can tailgate longer). If you are looking for a decent value, get 'em while the selection is good.

We are coming out to this show from Dallas Tx. We throw a huge tailgate in Frisco every year. What’s the tailgating in California like? When do gates open for tailgating?
Some of it's magic......

Live Nation will not confirm lot opening time until a few days prior. Most of the shows at this venue have a lot opening time of 4pm. Because our show is on a Saturday, hopefully it will be way earlier. The parking is free but you are parked in the dirt. Motorhomes are on the pavement on the South side of the venue. This area will eventually open to regular vehicles too, but usually not right away. There is also preferred parking closer to the entrance for $30 (I paid $20 through the phone app). This is paved and in a great location...but doesn't fill as fast due to the cost, so the tailgating festivities take awhile to fully get going.

All level 300 seats are now available for $36.00 + Fees. Most of them used to be $136 but Live Nation lowered them yesterday. Back in 2004, I paid $66.00 to sit in this section....so now 13 years later, they are selling for $36. Huge bargain!

Looking forward to my 30th show! Hope to see all of you there!

Here's all the information from Live Nation regarding the show...wish the lot was opening earlier that 4pm. I think me and the family will go spend some morning and early afternoon time either at a park or at Imperial Beach for the 1st "tailgate", then head on over to the lot around 3 or so to wait to get in for the second "tailgate". Not going to waste all day hoping the lot will open early, they've been pretty strict in the last few years and I don't want to spend the time driving in circles with my patience growing thin.

You're welcome! Since it's my 30th show, we are making fish tacos this year at the tailgate and skipping the Tommy's...but we did bring some to the last Irvine show last year. Yes, please stop by and say hi...it's been a long time...would love to see you!

Anyone heard the latest on when Mattress Firm will open up the parking lots? I know the "standard party line" is 4 pm, but of course it being a Saturday we're all opening for something earlier. Gracias.
