The gates are always open! the stage is ON the campground! as far as setting up chairs they are done earlier in the week so on Friday your chairs will be far back, however at Hodag they allow you to walk up and get about 5 feet from the stage, take pictures, give the stars flowers and gifts, you can stand in line and go up by the stage as many times as you wish....the concerts on Friday USUALLY start about 1:00pm and go until early evening... Hodag willpost the times of the concerts as we get closer to the date....

: Anything I need to know? I read something about
: people getting seats and all that Wednesday,
: July 10th. Well what if I'm only going for
: Friday July 12th? Any ideas how to get good
: seats? I only need them for the Wilkinsons
: (they're the BEST i've seen them in concert
: 19 times and I run their biggest online fan
: newsletter). Does anyone know what time the
: gates open Friday morning? And what time the
: music starts? We live a good 4 hours away so
: am trying to find out if it's late enough in
: the morning/early afternoon that we could
: come down Friday. If anyone's going that
: likes the Wilkinsons email me!
