We weren't able to get tickets to Nissan, but would like to come and tailgate. (Hopefully, we might get tickets in the parking lot, but if we don't, we'll keep partying in the parking lot and listen on Sirius).

I was wondering what the tailgating is like? Are they strict on having alcohol? Will we be able to set up the tiki bar and margarita ball without being hassled? Would like to know what to expect before we drive the 8 or 9 hours there and find out we can't party like we planned.

This will be my 11th show at Nissan and though the Great Woods crowd would disagree, I don't think there's a better tailgate anywhere.
As stated earlier, keep your drinks in a Solo cup and you should be fine. There have been instances where the Prince William County police want to see tickets before letting you in the lot however. Don't know if that will be the case this year.

The Calypso Nuts always perform towards the front of the parking lot near the port-o-potties. That is not a bad place to hang out for a while. It is in the shade, and they have good/free/live music. Finding a place to set up camp together is very hard unless all the vehicles arrive at the same time. The parking crew can be a pain in the a$$.

I checked my order and according to TicketMaster, my tickets have been printed. What I find funny is the next line. It says "Your tickets were shipped via standard Canada Post mail. Items shipped in this way will arrive at least 48 hours prior to the event."

Great. My tickets are going through Canada. Maybe they can bring me some beer when they show up.

Turned out I was logged into ticketmaster.ca, not ticketmaster.com. Oops. Looks like the will go standard US mail.

Thanks LZ! I'm really looking forward to seeing the two drunk girls in the orchestra that flash the jumbotron cameraman every year. I seem to remember someone calling one of them a "freaky Morticia Adams-looking chick"

Good times!

Will be at Nissan this year...that is if I'm still alive after Pittsburgh and Camden--thats a lot of traveling and a lot of partying for one week--hopefully the concept of moderation is working in my mind that week

I'm in, picked up two tickets for the show! I have off Thursday and Friday, so I'll be ready to get down. It'll be nice to put a face with some names.

Fins Up!

If anyone knows of a group getting a charter bus this year, we have a group of 26 willing to fill the empty seats. We usually go with the WAPHC but they are unsure as to if they are going to bus it this year. PM me if you have any info.

I'll be there. I'm in the process of a transaction. We'll be in section 201. Anyone else around there?

All I ask is that Jimmy plays Coconut Telegraph this year.

I'm right here in front of my screen. (If'n you turn your cam on you can see me.)

But if anybody needs an extra -- you know -- well just see my post on the Ticket Exchange. (I'm willing to deal.)

Mango Mike's in Alexandria has run a bus to the Nissan show in the past. Not sure if its on their calendar yet. Check out the web site:

I'll be the drunk one saying "boy it's hot out here".

PS. I'll be sitting/standing in the lawn. From the section that separates the lawn from the seats, I'll probably be about 20 steps up and 5 steps to the right. It's *sort of* the center of the lawn. Counting steps, or "triangulating" as my friends and I like to call it, is the only way we've been able to not get lost among the sea of people in the lawn. Also standing near incredibly tall or obnoxious people helps but that has it's drawbacks.
