Not sure yet, Dave said that it would be different this year. I'm sure that it will be prime viewing. Hopefully there will be a wall between the VIP and the GA high enough that they can't see into our area.

Did I mention I'm Greek?

I hope the ladder and platform for the shoulder rides is more stable than last year. I did not really feel safe waiting for a ride

In all seriousness. The VIP viewing has gotten better each year. Last year it had a private bar area, metal seats down both sides as part of the barriers. Great sight lines.

Apologies, that was my bad. Kind of a last minute thing thrown together. This time I'm thinking something more along the lines of a grease pit type thing. Where the bearer walks through a 3.5 or 4 foot inclined trench
and loads rider at ground level. Much more stable than last time.

It will be quite a spectacle - the VIPers will appear to levitate up from up from the masses

As they should.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

I would think the VIP viewing area would be on the right side facing the stage since VIP camping is on the right. The FAQ on the CID site said no chairs allowed in the VIP viewing area. www.cidentertainment.com/events/lockn-festival-2016/vip-experiences/#lockn-vip-experience

So I told Kay y-day that we would be draggin' the boat & the AS to Lockn this year, and I would be gettin tips for holding everyone's oxygen tanks whie they scuba dive in the "VIP Lake".

I swear that woman knows me well. Almost 30 yrs together. She's da bomb.

She brought home a gallon of Tanqueray and a big azz bag FULL o' lemons today, and said "You better make enough in tips to cover this. Try not to drink it all before the late night shows begin. We have a date, remember? I'll have the trailer ready to retrieve u n the boat by 7pm."

Last year was amazing up to the headliners where you still had plenty of space in the back of the section. Can't tell space-wise how this year compares to last.looks slot smaller.
