Lawn or Pavilion?

Hello all,

My wife and I have seen Jimmy for about 11 years running and always enjoy the show (an understatement!). The first 7-8 years we got lawn seats, but since then started to prefer pavilion seats, mostly because of the drunks and such that come with lawn seats (my wife has been knocked down and had beer spilled on her many a times). I always had a blast in the lawn, problems notwithstanding. I'm thinking of going for lawn seats this year instead of pavilion and being with some of our friends, because quite honestly, I think it's boring in the pavilion. My wife vehemently objected when I mentioned this, so now we almost have grounds for divorce (well, not quite).

Is there any easy solution to this problem, or should I be a good hubby and just stick with pavilion seats (assuming I can get them)? Anyone else gone through this?

Cheers!

this is an easy decision... always go pavillion! People always say "but the party is on the lawn". Who cares???? I just partied for 8 hours in the parking lot, once the show starts I want to see and hear the show as close as I can.

If I can't get pavilion seats, I'm staying home.

I am too old to deal with all that stuff on the lawn. Not that peeps don't puke on your shoes in the pavillion, but it is a lot less often!

Pavillion...... I want to see and hear the show.... and just by chance I want to sit for a minute... I can!!

The party in the lot before the show is fine...but I want to have a seat to enjoy the show!

Pavillion
and what everyone else said.
Too old to stand (usually at an angle) for that long.
Gotta have a seat.

Maybe it's just my desire to relive my youth with lawn seats. I'm old enough to not want to do that, however.

I suspect Ticketmaster will help me make my decision, unfortunately.

s*** it up and get pavillion, she'll be happier which means you'll be happier

The party is in the parking lot before the show.

Like Larry, if I can't get pavillion I don't go.

If you really wanna hear the music, enjoy the band and are willing to pay a significant amount more for your ticket: the pavillion.

If you wanna party and be subject to incoming conga lines: the lawn.

Easy...Pavillion! No weather issues, not nearly as many sound issues, and a better view. Plus no issues with people who come last minute and try to squeeze into lawn space right next to your spot!

here too. Belligerent drunks seem to breed on the lawn; there are a lot fewer/square foot in the pavillion seats. Granted, it's harder to dance in the space between the seat rows, but the aggravation factor balances that out nicely.

Definitely pavilion. You can always go to the lawn for a couple of songs w/ your friends.

You all speak as if you have a choice. . .well, I guess we all do if you're willing to pay scalper prices.

I take whatever the ticket gods are willing to bestow upon me.

I've been to over 60 Buffett shows, never paid a scalper and always had pavilion seats. Maybe I'm just unusually lucky.

I love the lawn. Nothing beats having space to stretch out, dance, and enjoy the feel of the grass between your toes.

And every year while in line for tickets I hear people bitterly complaining that if they can't get pavilion seats they aren't going at all. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone angrily stomp away from the window after being told no pavilion seats are avialable. Are you kidding me??
