*** OFFICIAL Lexington Roll Call!!! ***

zbarnett

Good luck to everyone! Just got my notification email. Like a lot of folks are saying, there is a lot to see and do within walking distance of the arena! If you are partial to Italian food, check out Joe Bologna's on West Maxwell (a quick walk from Rupp); it won't disappoint! Also lots of other bars and restaurants in the immediate area. Check out some of the places just down the street on Limestone. Two Keys Tavern is a classic local haunt. Pazzos is a great pizza place a couple doors down with a massive beverage list including some high end bourbons.
Also as others have said, the hotel connected to the arena is a good place to check out (the hotel bar/restaurant is just a couple steps from the arena lobby). I actually met Clarence Clemons there while passing the time before the last Bruce show at Rupp!
If you have time, definitely check out the gorge. It's probably an hour haul down the Mountain Parkway, but it's spectacular that time of year. Worth it to stop at Miguel's for a bite!

Still waiting to hear. Reserved, first choice.

Me too, how are people getting their 2nd choice before our 1st?

No kidding. I'm starting to get nervous.

For those who have won: did your tickets page say "Entered" with "Total Charged $159.00" for a while before you got notification that you won? Trying to read between the lines.

I got it all at once

I actually didn't check till I got the email. It was a lot faster than I expected. I think I signed up an hour after the lottery opened if that makes a difference...

No word yet (quarter to 5 pm EST) - I switched priority one to reserved seating this morning. My wingman opted us out of the pit; guess we're (he and I) too old to stand now lol (note: I was game for it). ~80% odds and now my first priority. Feeling good about the draw especially after seeing several folks get it with priority 2. Still would like confirmation soon. Also hoping for a great show poster.
Update: confirmed reserve seats at 8:30pm. Not sure why so long since that was my first priority and negated my second with nothing else at stake. Oh well, I'll take the good news and see everyone at Rupp!

My first choice was Reserved and still waiting. taking a break for now, but it will come! haha

RP112579

My girlfriend and I both won reserved tickets. My first choice, her second choice. So, we'll have an extra pair, if anyone ends up needing tickets

Got GA! Coming from Paris, TN. Let me know if anyone needs to hitch a ride. I plan on leaving the day before the show.

Peyton18

Bladamus I might talk to you about that ride! I'm coming from Germantown,Tn. I'll get with you later

jonnymikes

Just got my email. I'm driving in from N.C. Would it be worth staying in Louisville since seems to have more to do? We're coming in for about four days and the difference would be about 3 hours, 1.5 hour each way.

Beat me to it! If you guys don't end up taking them, I'd definitely be in!

It sounds like there are plenty of extra singles, we can always work it to create a pair for anyone looking for a pair pretty easily.

Has anyone scored Lexington GA as lower than 1st choice?
