No problem...
Believe it or not I asked the manager if they had a more detailed seating chart, so I wouldn't have to look myself, and they said no. Haha. I mean, cmon, you run the damn place! But in a way it doesn't surprise me.
Also, they shut beer off at 10:00, that is one hour before close. And boy, people were getting pissed off! If you plan on drinking, get to the lines before 10!
And another tip that might come in handy. If you're going to buy beer there, or even food for that matter, use the parkside lobby, that is the one way on the other side of the venue closest to the rides. To get there, walk up past sections 100, 200, sound booth, 400 and make a left, follow that walkway right out, just DO NOT forget your ticket stub!! Everything is less crowded on this side, mainly because half the people there don't even realize it exists. The beer, food and bathroom lines are much, much shorter. Also, if you just want to grab a quick beer, use the towers on the lawn, the ones with the big screens on them. Never any lines! It's worth the 30 second walk out to the lawn, just remember your ticket stub to get back in!!
Another good reason to use the parkside lobby, (not the main lobby) is that they always have more merchandise selection available, since it is not all picked over. And you will get to the table much quicker.
Also, there is only 1 ATM machine in the place, right next to the merch set up in the main lobby, as you come through the front gates, steer to the left.
And, if bathroom lines do get long, since mostly everybody will have been pre-gamin' it up before the show, there are about 50 port-o-potty's just across the way from the main lobby merch booth on the gravel stoned area down the little hill (near where all the radio stations set up.) Nobody ever uses those, but they're open.
Just trying to save you guys time so you can miss as little show as possible. Believe me, the lines can get rediculous. I watched some people stand in line for 30 minutes to buy beer. That is insane, you should NOT be waiting for more than 5 minutes, max!
Hope this helps and enjoy the show.
