I bet KISS had a much bigger crowd than that when they headlined in 2010. I was there and that place was PACKED.

Entire catalog loaded onto the ipad. Getting ready to pack the cooler. Will be up there early with my brother so we get parking in the main lot by the trees. 5th show together. Can't wait.

PNC is a nice shed. The full spider will surely fit.

Awesome thanks for the heads up! I brought my father to see them for his first time so it will be great for him to see the full rig

Show is tonight and there's still a good deal of seating tix left for this small place. Three sections in particular have a lot of seats left, and they aren't even crazy expensive. We'll see if walk-ups fill 'em. Things sure have changed since '09.

LoveGuns · Post by **LoveGuns** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 7:59 am

Dang it its raining, I hope it clears out before the show

Was waiting to see if any good seats opened up at a reasonable price. Looks like I'm skipping them this year.

It should be okay friend, here's the forecast for today. It looks pretty good.

It's gonna be a great one. With less than a thousand seats left in the pavilion the KISS Army is marching loud and proud!!! Let's hope this walk up we've been reading about even sells it out.

I hope to bump into some of you crazy kids today.

What time would they decide on offering upgrades? I just called the box office and the woman had no idea if upgrades would be offered tonight?

That makes perfect sense.

It's gonna be close my brother. If the seats are sold out there's gonna be nothing left to upgrade to.

Who will next?

Getting ready I'll be in section 304

redinthesky · Post by **redinthesky** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 2:41 pm

Fun venue for a show though, this is where I saw Kiss/Crue, hope all who go have a good time!

And don't let some rain ruin it if it rains. Heck sometimes on a humid night it hits the spot. I think I said here before, I saw Crue and the Scorps at Jones Beach and it rained HARD and the show was a total blast, the pouring rain added a fun cooling element to it all (not to mention all the female t-shirts that got soaked, hey just being honest).

This place is packed to the rafters as DL takes the stage...and there's TONS of people still tailgating and filling this place up. As of now I'm going with 16,500...that could go higher.

Very crowded. Def Lep playing in front of KISS' stuff definitely makes them look like an opener.

Oh well, there's always theaters and rock clubs to play.
