What if people have tickets at will call? Do they not get in cause they don't have a ticket to show? I'm not sure they really do that... just wondering if anyone has had any experience??
It will be fine, we ALL will get in..this is year 14 for me out there!
Everyone tailgates
Every Year people freak out about having to pay person to get in
Every Year people here 'rumors' about you cannot get in without a ticket
- - what about those who pick up at will call? - -
Every Year the lot is not opening until 4pm and EVERY Year it opens anywhere from noon to 2pm....
We have some time before the lot Nazis do damage

Hey everybody, newcomer to the boards here. Pittsburgh will be my first show. Four of us are coming down from Erie. I've been a casual fan for a while, but this is the first time scheduling worked out and we were actually able to get tickets. We're really looking forward to the show. I've been to numerous shows over the years at Starlake. Always, great atmosphere and tailgate.
Oh, and I have heard the same rumor about tailgating before other shows I have been to, it seems like every year. I have never had any problems there. I have been with people who had tickets and others who didn't. It will be fine, I wouldn't worry about it.

I have never been asked to show a ticket either. Maybe you can buy a parking pass and just show that...... tell them you are meeting the person holding your tickets inside. I got the premier parking pass online at livenation.com, thanks to murPH.
Every year someone says that you cant get into the lot without a ticket.......

Hi alaura! I hear ya! We had a few nice days last week, but now we're back to "Still Winter".
(It's an old joke, but the saying goes - the four seasons in Ohio are Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction!
![upsidedown [smilie=upsidedown.gif]](./images/smilies/upsidedown.gif)
). Just signed up for Karat's phone list...hopefully I'll actually get to meet up with all of you this time! Will there be a Jello Shot exhibition again this year?
