Bristow pit is huge. Pavillion is ok and can help if it rains. If you want to see the stage you want to be close. The lawn has good sound and is really only a problem if it rains.

    We sat in whatever the most centered section in the 300 Level is, back in... 2015 maybe? And it wasn't bad - still had a good view of the stage.

Also, the pit slopes up slightly, so if you stand at the back, you're not looking up as far at the band, and you can also see over the people in front of you.
    I don't think the Bristow lawn is that bad. It's nothing compared to Camden.

    Ha - I remember the 2013 show. I was my wife (then fiance) and three good friends. She insisted we have pavilion seats and my friends ended up the lawn. They got soaked, we stayed dried

    My pit days are mostly behind me. I generally sit in the 100s now. They usually drop a ton of seats around the soundboard in the days leading up to the show, so I've always been able to grab a good pair there if I don't have anything better leading up to the show.

    I've never done the pit at Bristow because my wife would hate it. I did pit for Dead & Co last year in Chicago and that might have ended my pit days.

    I was also one who got completely soaked that day but I'll tell you that Two Step out on the lawn in the downpour was incredible. The rains came harder as the song progressed and by the 'outro' we were literally just slipping and sliding and dancing around in the mud. Was awesome.

    Basically if you were at the tailgate that year, you were soaked no matter what. As soon as we parked the heavens opened.

    I don’t even want to think about how many Fireflies posters that rain ruined.

    You run like 122 races a year, you can skip one for Bristow. I'm making your attendance mandatory

    Oyyyyyy. I'm not psyched to hold out until a few days before the show to get my tickets. It happens every year. I feel confident that I know there will be a last minute drop. Then I start to freak out and wonder what the hell I did. Finally a few days before the show I end up with close to front seats. It pays off but it's fucking torture!

    I feel like this is as much a part of this thread as the event itself.

    I'm bringing the lemon jello shots again. And I'm trying to come up with something that uses Fireball.

    Do it....you won't....

    Also, anyone put in requests through the Warehouse? It has a 4 ticket limit on pit/reserved and 6 ticket limit on some area of cheap reserved (300s?) and lawn. It's been 2/4 in the past hasn't it?

    In contrast Live Nation is: There is a 2 ticket limit for the GA/PIT There is a 4 ticket limit for Top Price There is a 6 tIcket limit for Mid Price/Lawn

    I've given up on using the Warehouse for the Bristow show. Even the enticement of a free copy of the new album won't get me to do it. I've been burned with bad seats at Bristow too many times.

    Come on, it's great fun dumping those uppers for $50 a pop.

    Trying to decide between using Bristow or Camden N1 as my priority request. I'm leaning toward Camden since i feel that will be a harder ticket to get. Any thoughts?

    In no way should you make Bristow a priority. Tickets will be abundant

    This hotel just opened a few months ago.

    SpringHill Suites by Marriott Gainesville Haymarket  

    It's 2 miles from the JLL. I'm sure if you meet up at the tailgate you'd able to hitch a ride to the venue, after is always questionable. The good thing is, if you're walking, there is a brewery about half way between the hotel and JLL.
