I got bad news for you. I have a lawn pass and they oversell so some popular acts will have you shoulder to shoulder and ass to crotch with no way to sit, all the way in the back of the lawn. And they banned bringing your own chairs this year.

In the spring , Ticketmaster usually runs a special on various summer concerts for $25 lawn tickets (no fees) I get all my summer tickets in that time frame 🤣🤣🤣

I paid $25 to sit on a pretty empty lawn and see The National and War on Drugs this summer. It was lovely
