$10 Parking per night. No big deal because you will be able to walk to everything. Just a FYI!

so if we arrive and then drive to the show and preparty, we will have to pay again when we return?

a strange spot

I'm flying into Nashville from Canada and I have now managed to get a hotel, change my flight and even get a ticket to the show in Columbia! Except now just got to get to Columbia from Bonnaroo.... if anyone is making the trek and looking for some company, I will gladly chip in for gas and road trip munchies! Please PM me if you have room for one more!

No, you should only have to pay $10 for the 24 HR period. I'm a drinker and the car stays. It is like a five block walk from the hotel to the Flying Saucer and from the saucer to the CC is like 3 blocks at most. Very short walks. It will also be hard to find parking at the Saucer.

Perfect- thanks! I knew that it was close, but wasn't sure.

WTF? I guess it's not put on by the band, just the Colonial Center

I've received these "invitations" before and I'm 99.9% sure that they are all put on by the Colonial Center........overpriced, not worth it, not band related: hit the Saucer!!

Oh yeah, I didn't get the invite this time and I'm guessing it's because I got my tickets through the Ten Club instead of through the venue.

This thread was created and the wonderful people who put the Fan PreParty together went with The Flying Saucer. I being from the area know that this will be the spot. Great atmosphere, good beer, and hundreds of PJ fans!!! The one sent to you by the Colonial Center is another attempt by them to make more money. $30 cover. Go if you like but I will tell you that the Saucer is the #1 joint!!! http://forums.pearljam.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

hopefully it sells out

I would imagine there will be some people that choose to go to the "Official" pre-party. Probably folks who have......or....um....maybe dignitaries that will be in attendance.....or season ticket holders (?).....or....I dont know who their target audience is intended to be.
Certainly not 10C members, I would think. And I only say that because it's likely that 10C members will all be going to the pre-party that is being organised by 10C members.
I cant freakin wait.
