    I got lawn. I had two computers going and tried for reserved first and didn't get any. That came back by 10:20, and I was trying at 10:00 AM. Oh well, I'm going and that's what counts.

    I got lawn too.

    Another $5 order processing fee at the end. You got to love it.

    Glad to be able to see Rage again at Alpine.

    Lawn as well. my buddy and i were both on the phone and a computer and lawn was the best we could get but i don't give a shit where i sit. 72 bucks is not a problem with me considering the fact that both bands will be pheonomenal. I'm pumped!

    People start lining up before the gates open...the parking lot makes Alpine what it is...you can bring whatever you want, grills, coolers, kegs...it's the best!

    I think the lot opened at 2pm when PJ was there on 03. Rules may have changed since then.

    It is the best place to tailgait. Bring whatever you want. (except weapons and explosives of course)

    Damn! Guess I'll have to leave my AK47 and dynamite at home that day and bring a tent and some coolers instead :D

    *edit*
    how hot does it get there? Lolla hot? Gorge '06 hot? Flames of Hades hot?

    It can be hot but it also can be very cold (ice bowl)

    But late aug I would say hot. Bring ice.

    Very easy, just watch out for the under cover cops that walk the parking lot. If you do it out in the open you could get caught. Out of sight out of mind. :)

    Speaking of cops, how bad are they in and outside of the venue? I'll be going with someone who's 20 and would hate to have our experienced ruined by some narc. In Ohio you can't tailgate anywhere except for an OSU game.

    You can tailgate at Alpine, I've only been there twice, PJ '00 and '03, but never had a problem with security/cops. Just don't be stupid about it and you'll be fine.

    The cops have gotten worse through the years there, but if you don't act like an animal, you'll be ok.

    I got one pair of seats and bought 2 others off of ebay. I might put extras up for sale here once I decide which ones to keep. I got AA, QQ and TT.

    If I were you I would just check everyday for tickets, maybe some Pavillion seats will pop up. Especially check once the show approaches...I don't think you have to worry about the Lawn selling out anytime soon.
