    Hey guys -- looking forward to Voodoo but haven't purchased tickets yet. For those who have gone to Voodoo Fest in prior years, as far as I can tell purchasing VIP tickets do not offer better seating just access to perks - parking, bathrooms, rest areas etc. and a spot in covered pavilion seating WAY in the back (no way im sitting in the back!!). Is it really worth the extra dollars??

    Also, for purpose of planning, is it like jazz fest with people claiming lawn with blankets, etc or are everyone just packed together? does the crowd "change over" with each set or must you grab your real estate early and not move? I am not expecting to be able to ride the rail -- dont have the stamina and like to partake a few beers and mingle around -- but would like to be no more than "half way back on the floor" distance if this were an arena show. thanks for input.

    Unless someone has been lying to me, there is an entire area in front of Mccready for VIP.

    See message #23 in this link for the pic. You can see the defined area up front to the right of the pic... directly in front of the stage!

    It was on the voodoo site but I can't find it.

    I was fortunate to get free VIP the year STP played and they are terrible seats. Pretty far from the stage and not worth it. You get 2 drink tickets and some food. Way over-priced. Buy the weekend pass and get a reasonably priced hotel from TravelZoo. Usually the Wyndam is available for $90 for the night and downtown is about a 15 minute cab ride to the venue.

    I purchased VIP. I think it is going to be great!

    I'm a little worried about the rest of the lineup but hope they announce soon and hurry up and announce when PJ will be playing. I'm thinking Friday is the best bet. No way they play Sunday

    Anyone know which date PJ is going to perform at Voodoo? I've got the opportunity to go - very excited! Just want to know which date they'll be on stage just so I'm sure I'm in town for it.

    Any idea? :-)

    Hopefully we will know the daily schedule soon!! They don't officially release it till Septemeber, I think, but hopefully leaks will start before then:)

    Can't wait!!

    God I hope something leaks soon... I imagine PJ might be reserved for the 3rd (which would probably work best for me)... But I'm going no matter what!! Pretty pleased w/ this decision :-)

    I have a feeling they'll be playing on Friday, but can't be sure. The Voodoo website says September 5th for daily schedules!

    well i won't be able to make it. I know it's early but if there's a NOLA themed PJ shirt (like the Wrigley stuff we're seeing now) can someone pick me up one??? PLEASEEEEEEEEE.

    Woohoo! We're also planning a party, so everyone be sure to RSVP to that, too. Details to come!

    Put your party boots, singing shoes, and drinking glasses on as we're going to get down and dirty for this MOFO. Wrigley was beyond EPIC and I doubt anything will beat that for me unless I see them in a small town in Italy one day but seeing them in my hometown is tough to beat.

    As Joanna mentioned, we are planning a party with The Five Horizons Foundation. We're looking at raising money for Team Gleason (ALS) and Autism. More details to come soon as I will be conducting a small army of PJ pub crawlers to scoop out our party sites. If PJ plays on Saturday or Sunday, we should have a our own little PJ pub crawl the day before.
