So is there tailgating going on or is everyone doing their own thing before the show? I'm so confused (which doesn't take much).
I'm thinking you should plan on going to the Holiday Inn lot 1st, by around noonish or so... then, all of the BNers will caravan to the Tinley lot by 2:00ish or so?
And we will hopefully have a cell list so we can touch base with LonePalm1 and anyone else going direct to the parking lot, and rondezvous somewhere in there. If a spot and time can be predetermined, that will work too!
But I'm just a participant, so take my words with a grain of salt and a lime!
(and tequila should you so desire!)
Is there an admission fee for the Holiday Inn party? Is there anyplace we can see details? Thanks!
Nope - not that I know of. It's just a regular old Holiday Inn parking lot right by the venue, except it's also a convention center, so it's a pretty big parking lot! People who stay there probably start setting up much earlier than noon - canopies, grills, tiki bars - the whole shot. I think I arrived noonish 2 years ago, and there were quite a few groups of people tailgating. There wasn't a band, or if there was, I never saw it.
There was not a band, at least not 2 years ago...there will be this year though!!!!
www.southofdisorderband.com (It says TBD, but I think it is almost confirmed it will be at the HI)....will talk to Steve again to confirm...or Steve, if you are around, fill us in!

So.... BoozeInTheBlender, DrinkinOnAFakeID, Coconut Bra, and Finsupnorth will be there!!!
We are staying at the Motel 6 in Joliet.
Our seats are sec 205 AAA, not sure where yet....
The South of Disorder Band is playing a tailgate party in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn on Saturday morning sometime. I think they may be running shuttles from the hotel to the concert as well....
We are not sure what we are doing Friday yet, but we should be getting in around 5ish on Friday...
WOOO-HOOO!!!!!
Oh my! Turn the party dial up a notch.This will really feel like a phamily reunion especially because we met so many fine pholks at the HI before the show and then tailgating at the lot.Can't wait!
We go WAYYYY back don't we...Can't wait to see you guys again!! Looks like we will be pretty close during the concert also...

when i went 3 years ago, we tailgating a little at the holiday inn lot before hand. we had gotten the cell number of one of the guys working security at tinley and had gotten in touch with him every half hour to bother him to find out if they had opened the parking lot yet. and when he gave us the ok we headed over to the lot there....
but that was 3 years ago... not sure how different it was 2 years ago...

Two years ago, a bunch of people set up and tailgated at the Holiday Inn in the morning and early afternoon... then packed up, drove the mile or so to the venue, unpacked, and set up again, albeit in the rain for a couple hours!
I'm assuming some will do the same this year (hopefully minus the rain)... I'm just not sure who!

do we know what time the lots open now that 'The World' is under new management yet again? I'm staying at the HI and will be in the lot early, but I really would like to get an idea of when the lots open. Two years ago it was about 3:00pm on both Thursday and Saturday...thats a bit late compared to other venues, but I think I was set up in the HI lot by 10:30

in doing some addtional research, I came across this article that I thought was pretty good...its talking about the new owners of the World

beer vendors on the law and in the stands will be an interesting twist

That is interesting! Thanks for sharing the article! This grabbed my attention too:
One of the biggest changes will allow fans with tickets for reserved seating to get a different point of view from two new bars, located stage left and right midway through the pavilion where large flower beds used to be.
"We're creating new VIP-like bars, but they're not for VIPs only," Shaw said.
Each bar will have beer and soda for sale, and can hold 35 people. To give as many fans as possible a piece of the action, amphitheater personnel will regularly shoo fans out and let more in, he said.
Although for me, once I'm inside, I'm by a seat with all eyes on the stage... I just curious what the bars look like... will people be there comingling at the bar during the show???
I couldn't do it!

The claim each deck will hold 35 people...I can see people hanging out there...those flower beds were huge beside/behind sections 101 and 105 so they should be a good spot...
Since I don't have tickets yet, I don't know what I'm going to do, but it sounds like 'The Bank' is trying to improve things...maybe I can trade my hotel rooms at the HI for tickets...

I was out there about a month ago for the Springsteen show, and I did see the bar area they talk about (though for some reason I didn't pay a lot of attention to it). Before that concert, we got an email telling us some of the rules, including what you could bring in---first concert there where I could bring in my own bottle of water (though I am sure that will not apply to Buffett) But I would expect them to beb communicating with ticketholders as the concert approaches.

What about the "beer man - who needs cold beer"? I'd find that very annoying at a concert!

No, though their email (which I no longer have) probably said. But Bruce was an earlier, weekday, much smaller concert. I would expect we would get updates as it gets closer. and certainly nobody coming through the aisles selling beer while Bruce was singing.
When it all comes down to it, the lot will open earlier than for other concerts, but not early enough for some, and the drinks inside will be much too expensive!!!!!
