I say if they were separate posts, then each one should count. That's my 2 cents.....

While I know the overwhelming majority have decided against attending Bristow this year, we have decided to go once again. Is anyone staying at the Four Points Sheraton on Vandor Lane? We have found in the past that the pool party there the night before is sometimes more fun than the tailgate at JLL. The manager said last year that they had a DJ scheduled for the tailgate at the hotel by the pool the day of the concert. With the postponement, I can't say wether that happened the day of the show or not.

It's actually not too bad. We stay there every year we go to Bristow. Minus concert traffic, I would say it's about 10 minutes away.

I moonlight as a judge and there should be no doubt. SurfPirate wins that bet. I'll probably forget I said that yet again and will say it over and over until it comes. I'm not only unoriginal, I'm forgetful. At least I'm consistent
I'll try to limit it to once per page.

Maybe you should use certain amount of "days" as your limit.........I think the over/under on page count will be about 10.

I'd have taken the under on that page count assumption, but there's so much banter this early on that I bet it well surpasses that.

I just got around to printing my tickets off at home. Does anyone else's tickets still say that tailgating is prohibited? I thought they eased up on this rule from last year?

Just checked with a friend and her hard tix came yesterday and they don't say that. But folks who bought WMZQ Fest tickets DO say "no tailgating".

Like I said I did the print at home option. Maybe they never got around to taking that message off of the program

I actually think that the software hasn't been changed for "print your tickets". It looks like the hard tickets have been changed and do NOT have "no tailgating" on them. I guess time will tell...........

I called jll today to get it clarifyed and maybe just to rub salt in the wound about their tailgating policy. Needless to say I'm not quite sure I ever actually got an answer. They didn't know why the no tailgating was still on the print at home tickets. The first person I talked to said they has this same question for another show.

Just called JLL again and this time talked to a much nicer individual. They forgot to remove the flag from the ticket fast program saying that tailgating was prohibited. Tailgating is allowed and all ticket sales from this point on will not have message.

Can someone help out a Bristow "newbie". What's the deal with sections 301 and 305. Ticket prices are the same as the lawn? Are these seats bad? Obstructed? Have an opportunity to get 8-together in 305 row "a". Any feed-back would be appreciated.

Honestly never heard of that before (of course, things do change
![battingeyes [smilie=battingeyes.gif]](./images/smilies/battingeyes.gif)
). I'm not aware of any obstructed view seats. You could check on the venue's website (their seating chart) to be sure.
Anyone else heard of this?
