Add-Ons for Ruoff?

cmikehelton

Anyone doing add-ons or have done in the past? I'm considering a few options but looking to see if it is worth paying the extra cash..  Thanks!

I was considering doing one of the parking one's so it's easier to leave.

I have a hotel close by to walk or I probably would do the parking.. I was looking at the premier club or green room. Just not sure what all comes with that. If free drinks are included, it is probably worth it.

Someone did a great write up in a previous thread. Will see if I can track it down.

The club/green room has a dedicated bartender and restrooms, etc. In my opinion neither are worth it. The restroom situation is much better now that they have the big restroom area in the back of the lawn and added a bunch of restrooms off to the side.

I have never had to wait long for a beer either...plenty of vendors

I did get the $60 parking add on...it's either leave during YLB/Alive or stay until the end and get out easily with the premium parking

Was just at dead and co Tuesday which was the hardest sellout I’ve seen at deer creek in 30+ years of shows there. Did premier parking and was out of the lot in 10 minutes. Purchased premier parking for PJ as soon as we got home. Can’t recommend it enough, PJ going to be similar size crowd I think. Premier club is nice too- 2 bartenders, private bathrooms, better drinks, but not sure it’s much of a time saver as others have noted.

Aside from the cost what’s the difference between VIP and premier?

They’re all in different places (none of them really “good” except for lawn overlooks) and different sizes, but all seem to be variations on a theme. I’ve been in two of them (vip a couple years ago and premier this week, but not green room) and peeked into another but honestly couldn’t describe discernible difference other than size and location. Vip might have had a servers versus just a bartender, but not entirely sure I’m remembering correctly. And maybe food is available in one of them? Just peering inside they all kinda seem close to the same to me… but I haven’t seen the green room.

My apologies: I meant vip & premier for parking.

Never been there and don’t have any ticket at all for Sep 10, but would definitely be interested in a lawn overlook or VIP deck if someone has an extra.  I have a walking distance hotel to trade.  Or I could just buy.  And hope to get an in the door ticket later.

I was told drinks are part of the package.. as in free when you buy the extra add on but I am having a hard time believing that. Are drinks free or do you pay for each?
