Queen of Megadon Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks so much for the welcome and the invite. My brother and I are going to the show...as usual. No one loves RUSH as much as we do...at least among the folks we know. Right now, honestly...we'd LOVE a ride! We always drive so we cant hang like we'd love to hang. We're trying to either hire a car or beg family members to drive us. We want to throw the frisbees, we want to listen to the boom boxes, we want to grill and tailgate... whatever happens, we'll be there, and I really am looking forward to meeting you all!!

BK 2112 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi fellow Rush fans. I was thinking about crashing your tailgate, as there just aren't as many CP'ers (my usual hangout) going to this show, but now I may be out of state that weekend. That said, I went to Iron Maiden on Sat night, and there were a few electronic signs along the Parkway stating: QUOTE 6/14 Arts Center Event Lots Open at 5:00 PM I don't know if it was just for that show, or if they're opening the lots later as part of their attempt at derailing tailgating. Don't want to alarm anyone, but one of you folks might want to look into this just in case. Take care, and, if my plans change, I'll come looking for you guys.

I found this on their site too : QUOTE Parking Info: Secure, well-lit parking is available directly on site for all shows. For capacity crowds, additional parking is available in lots adjacent to the PNC Bank Arts Center. Parking lots will not open until one hour prior to doors.

Natch Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 They think they can stop us? No way, we'll hit the rest area on the parkway. It's around mile marker 122. About 6 miles north of PNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I hope this isn't true. I was hoping to get there early and hang out with all the crazy fans If it is, we will have to come up with a plan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natch Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Of course I was just joking about hanging out at a rest area. We'd stick out like a sore thumb, just asking for the police to hassle us. Perhaps we can find a local establishment that can handle a large crowd? Does anyone live nearby that can offer up their backyard? I live about 40 minutes drive away...so I'm too far....and never mind that my wife would kill me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassTheAmmunition Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I still believe that the Rush show on 7/12 will be one where they won't crack down on tailgating and the lot will be open early like last time. Its a Saturday and I cant see them opening the lot at 5pm. Remember that this crackdown being imposed is at the discretion of the venue, based on the artist and crowd it attracts. And let's face it, this isn't a Fall Out Boy concert crowd. That being said, still not convinced we have any real info to go on. A previous article had indicated that the decisions will be made by PNC once the concert calendar had been finalized - I would have to think it is finalized at this point but dont see anything about this on their site.

Natch Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 According to this article in the Asbury Park Press, the lots will open 2 hours prior to the show start time. Arts Center promoter putting patron safety first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just called PNC, and to my surprise a person actually answered without a labyrinth of prompts that lead to a dropped call. She informed me that this year PNC's policy for all venues is that the parking lot opens 1 hour before the gates open. For Rush, the gates open at 7PM - so the parking lot will open at 6PM.

Natch Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It's going to be chaos. How can they expect everyone to show up between 6 and 7? People are going to be parked on the sides of the parkway waiting for the lots to open. What a load of crap this is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
