    Got out of the parking lot on Saturday at 1:20 a.m. I still can't believe it.
    But it is true what they say, 'you get what you pay for'. The parking is free for a reason and I would've gladly paid fifty bucks to have been on the road by 11:30. Definitely the last time I go there for a Pearl Jam show (unless of course it's the only show within 200 miles of me).

    I had a tremendous amount of good fortune, I think. On a whim, I paid the $40 for the premier parking and was out in like 15 minutes. Also, I bought a beer with my California i.d. I guess the lady gave me a break. I heard other out of state id's were turned away. Yeah, that is pretty ridiculous.

    Can anyone say, POLICE STATE (?!!!)...cops and security waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overzealous.

    No shit. I parked the car and within 15 seconds three bicycle cops had us surrounded. Told us we were on private property and subject to a search (sounds a little sketchy). So I popped the trunk and they took our two measly six-packs and a mostly empty water bottle that they decided was vodka. On the bright side, I got to keep the red cups I bought to pour the beers in, you know, so the cops wouldn't see.

    They were such assholes about it, too. Making a bunch of 25-year-olds feel like criminals for trying to drink a couple beers in the lot that I've been getting hammered in since I was 16. I just told my friends to shut up and take it because there was no way I was getting arrested or having my tickets revoked (which I heard was happening to some people). The worst part is they obviously stopped the alcohol patrol shortly after that, because I saw a bunch of wasted retards strolling in around the time PJ took the stage.

    I just don't get it. If you really want to crack down on tailgating, stop opening the parking lots at fucking two in the afternoon.
    *Does not include encore of Garden and Leash.

    Plus, if anything, the anal retentive behavior just causes people to be all sneaky and shit, which I believe makes people get more drunk.

    Yea, I agree. It was seriously the worst venue ever.

    We were IDed and they said that they couldn't sell us alcohol because we had to be 25 from out of state.

    It looked really small.

    We had open air seats -- if it rained, we'd be screwed. At least if we were on the lawn, we could move to a different place.

    No blankets?!

    An 11 o'clock curfew?

    When we went to leave, we just took a nap inside the car and then when we woke up, about an hour and a half later, we were finally able to get out. Do they seriously expect us to pay $40 for parking??!


    Same fucking thing happened to me. Im 24 from New York and they wouldnt sell me beer WTF!!! The weird thing is that the parking lot was fine. Was playing beer pong before the show and had no problems same goes for after the show. The 11 curfew blew as well. Start the show at 8:30. It was so anticlimactic ending on Alive the first night
