Saw Zac Brown Band here on 6/22/13. Â We had lawn seating and arrived about 30 minutes after the doors opened and thought we had decent seats near the edge of the lawn. Â However, Merriweather sold enough tickets to fill every single inch of space in the lawn and then some and it was way too crowded. Â By the time the concert started we were squished against the fence and had zero view of the stage. Â I had multiple people opine as they tried to squeeze by to their 3 square inches of grass that Merriweather oversold by several thousand. We saw Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed and Stone Sour a few years ago at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta with lawn seating and the experience was much better. Â Even though that concert sold out we weren't stuffed in like sardines. Â I HIGHLY recommend the reserved seating.
Beers were $9-10 for a 24 oz. Budweiser. Â Didn't try the food but it was $7-10 for hotdogs, fries, etc. Â Agree that this was one of the easiest venues to get in and out of. Â We left after the last song and were out within 10 minutes of walking to the car. Â By the way, park in the mall parking lot. Â
The concert itself was great.
