noon is a great time, but we have to check in to the hotel. Hopefully we'll be there between 1 and 2? Gotta see when check in is!

Gotta get out that grass skirt!!

Go down a day early!

just booked hotel for sat, we'll be there sat afternoon!

Ok, so I've never tailgated before 2:30. My sister reminded me that we'd have to pace ourselves with the gate opening at 12. Anyone know anything about pacing? Exactly how do you pace yourself at a Buffett concert? Any suggestions ?

Drink plenty of WATER. It helps keep you hydrated.

We're just happy that we get to grill lunch and supper. And with 8 hours of Tail-gaiting, no need to tap the retirement fund to drink inside the concert.

Noon? 3pm?
When?

That may be a question for the ages. Or.....we will know when it happens? The venue isn't going to confirm anything for a bit I would guess.

3pm is still not bad....

Noon or three... only time will tell.
I do know this, we are one day closer!!

If you haven't tailgated for over 8 hours in your life, then you are truley missing out on a great time with friends and family...we have arrived at 8am for an 7:30pm football game several times...and at noon for the Raleigh July 4th Buffet show several years back.

Pace yourself, but most importantly, don't run out of anything you need...cause you can't leave to go get more!

Was that the monsoon concert with Little Feat?

Well, 12:00 I have to pace....3:00 I won't have to worry!

Yes that was the monsoon concert!!
What a show!!

I was at the last Buffett concert at VZ and was involved with overtaking the back of the movie theater lot until the lots opened up. I am taking my mom and my grandmother to this concert - they have been bugging me for a few years to take them. So we get to induct some additional 'Buffett Virgins'. They are aware of the grass skirt requirement. hehehe
Is it confirmed about the gates opening at 12? Also, how do I go about getting one of the parking passes? I went on ticketmaster and do not see them. Are they really worth it? I'm not on here much, but do poke my nose in every once in a while. Can't wait for June!

hey there parrtnole!!
Cocotel here.
I had to call 704-522-6500 to get my pass.
Yes it is worth it!!
From reading previous posts here looks like a few from BN already have parking passes and are planning on hooking up in the lot.
It's worth the $22.05!!
Look forward to seeing you there!!

Hey Cocotel! Thanks so much for the tip! I'll give them a call Monday. Should be a great party! Are you going to be there?

I will be there!!
Staying at the Fairfield in the night before.
PM me as we draw closer. It would be great for all us BNr's to hook up in the lot!!
Look forward to meeting you and many others!!

I heard a rumor that pre concert gathering is not allowed at the Verizon Wireless in NC does anyone know if this is true or not?

Thanks

That doesn't seem to be information most of us are getting, both when calling the venue and other sources. Where did you hear this?
