Who's going? Anyone taping? Anyone know of any decent restaurants in the area? I've never seen a concert there before so I have no clue how bad or bearable the traffic situation is going to be. I bought a VIP parking pass just to be on the safe side if it's anything like getting out after a show at Blossom in Ohio. Can't wait for the encore choices to be posted. (come on, Not Myself!) Kristin maybe I'll tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to lose my way with words flickr \| myspace

Theres actually a place across the street that isn't bad to park at, I usually feel obligated to park there because the owners are family friends. I'm going, but I'm sitting in the lawn. I saw my first JM concert at Darien and it was fantastic (no surprise there..). I don't know of any restaurants in the area really unless you want to travel into the city, about 20 minutes from the park. I can't wait for the encore choices either!

I suppose we will have to make the drive for dinner. We just want to be in the area early enough just in case we hit traffic on the way down (we're coming from Toronto).

I went to Darien last Friday and traffic was a crawl from the start of the Burlington skyway! I'm trying to find a route to avoid the QEW altogether! I was in the VIP parking because that's where the handicapped parking was and we sait for 30 minutes after the show without moving! It took another 20 minutes to get to entrance of the hotel/campground there that's about 5 minutes from the parking lot! It was a real nightmare and I couldn't believe that they have concerts there all the time! This was our first time at the venue and it was a fully sold out show...they didn't even let you take a blanket on to the lawn section. I know it won't be as bad this Friday! We left Pickering at 11:30, stopped in Niagara Falls for 1 1/2 hours and didn't get to Darien Lake until 5pm. Libby

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	best way to fight traffic... bring a yellowish jacket...get out of the car and start flagging cars out of your seperate parking lot line. once your car rolls up, get in...you're halfway out! a peek into my world.

Got my tickets for the concert, but there aren't any seperate Darien Lake park admission....do I just show my concert ticket and they scan that?? Someone must know

Like everyone said, the traffic after Darien Lake shows is horrendous. But I'll be at the show, and it's my first JM show too! I can't wait! And Unforgettable, did you buy the park admission with your concert ticket? -Mary

We'll be driving through Buffalo but we need to find somewhere closer to the venue to eat. Ohhh, maybe on the way home, now there's an idea! Clearly, calories mean nothing on concert days.. Unforgettable: I have no idea about the park admission. It only costs $9 to get in though? I assume you have to pay much more to get a pass for rides, yes? Anyway, I would guess that they will let us in because we have concert tickets. That's how it works in Toronto - the admission to Ontario Place is free because the amphitheater is inside the gates.

Upgrade any concert ticket to include theme park admission for only $9 when you buy concerts tickets online! I bought my tickets off ticketmaster.ca and there are the options for "FULL PRICE TICKET" or "CONCERT TICKET + $9 PARK ADMISSION" OR "LAWN 4 PACK OFFER" My best friend and I are driving up early from Toronto and wanting to spend the day at the park then go to the concert...I'm confused on how it works. Thanks for your guys help though....if you somehow figure it out then please let me know it'd be greatly appreciated

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I have to go with tracing...not my show, but I sure would love to hear it taped once this tour. And you "something missing person"...so this must be your first john show???? I only say that because in the last few years he has played it almost non stop. debbie it turns out he has a "roving penis " which prompted her to eject him from the magical land of constantly erect nipples...french publication

And just this summer I have heard Something's Missing in both Toronto and Ohio. I love Something's Missing and all but he really threw us a bone with Tracing. I know some people aren't familiar with material that hasn't been on a major release but damnit, rockstardust, give it a chance. Funny thing is that when he made the video discussing what to expect from the summer tour I said to my friend, "I know I've got no hope of hearing Not Myself, so if I can hear In Your Atmosphere and Tracing I'll be over the moon" and we got IYA in Toronto. Come ooooooon, TRACING! Kristin maybe I'll tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to lose my way with words flickr \| myspace
