Seems like the majority recommends the upgrade lot.

Thank you,

I have never paid for the upgraded lot. Have always parked in the regular lots at every venue I have ever gone to.
Funny story. My sister's husband paid for the VIP lot at GreatWoods one time and I actually got out fast than he did. It was something like an extra $50. He was pissed!!!

Is the upgraded parking something you do ahead of time, or at arrival?

Thank you

You need to book your parking in advance.

Most of the parking is accessed through the west entrance. I usually go with one of the higher-level parking lots for a faster escape. The 2 entrances aren't really that far apart by car, only 5-7 minutes so either would work.

Default Parking etc.

I've never waited long to exit. If the parking in here gives you stress... don't go to a Patriots game. There's no excuse for the horrible food. Get a beer early because they are warm by 30 minutes into the shows. Have fun.

If driving via Meredith, I recommend picking up lobster rolls at Tamarack, and eating them in the car after parking at show (but check your arrival time with Tamarack closing 7PM(?))

It's funny on the parking, I think nothing of dropping whatever it takes for primo seats, but I cannot bring myself to drop $20 on primo parking. My hangup, hopefully not yours, maybe I'll try next time)

We typically do the MB Tractor lot. Last concert was $30 and well worth it for us. Paved (no dust) with plenty of room to tailgate and you are out in under 15 min. However for some concerts that are close to full capacity, I think it goes for $40. (Example: Dave Matthews Band) In this case if you do not get there early enough, the overflow for this lot is a paved lot in back of the lawn area. Also fast out but not as fast as the upper lot.

I live right up the road and never been there. Won’t do lawn seats. Too old to deal with that especially if it rains. Not to mention I can watch a screen at home (tv). Then there’s the ticket prices which seem crazy to me. Third I would never have the patience to wait 2 hours to get out of the parking lot. Some people say they leave before the concert is over so they can get out of the parking lot.

I could care less about eating or drinking during a concert. I go to hear music.

I like the Flying Monkey and Hampton Ballroom for concerts. Decent ticket prices, air conditioning, etc.

This said? Maybe one day I’ll go, who knows?
