This post made me a little nervous about my plan. I plan to arrive Wednesday evening. There are two of us each having warmer field passes. Will there be space to set up a couple of tents and chairs or is arriving early a must to get any space at all? I would assume they don't sell more passes than there is space but, this post made it seem like there's a mad dash and long lines and limited space. Do I have to change plans?
They don't sell more tickets than there is space, but your choices for 2 tent sites may be limited. It's a softball field, so the outfield is grass and the infield is dirt. Everyone usually fits on the grassy area unless people are taking up lots of space for kitchen areas or shade structures. You should be fine although you are arriving on the late side of things, and you will be getting cozy with your neighbors. First, take a walk around, talk to the people you meet about what you need, scout out a space and put up your tents before hauling all your stuff in there. You'll have a blast and the only real thing you have to be nervous about is finding yourself at Run-A-Muck at 1am facing off with Billy Beru and a jug of Crunchy Frog.
