Does anyone familiar with the arena know if I'll get better seats sitting in the middle of the 300s further back, or at the back of the 300s but closer to the front?
Good for you!Quote

Got Sapphire VIP, section D, row 18 seat #1 (figured I could be right by the walkway) in Buffalo.
Sorry, this post got longer than I anticipated, I'm just so excited.
This is so exciting. I saw the Stones in my hometown of Vancouver in 2006. I was 17. It changed everything. Before I did everything everyone wanted me to do, going to the university my parents told me to go to, studied what they wanted me to study. I was miserable, and I was so sad I had to give up my music.
I saw the Stones, my favourite band, and as I watched them on the stage, I realized I'd never seen fully grown adults look that happy. I realized I needed to take a page from their book and start doing nothing less than exactly what I wanted to do in life. Quit the university, stopped studying that field, enrolled in college to pursue music. Eventually graduated another university with a Bachelor of Music degree in percussion (Charlie would be proud), and now I'm nearly 26, just started working in my dream career as a high school band teacher. I teach the kids about blues, and rock 'n roll, I spend my free time rehearsing with my rock and country bands, writing and playing music. I play gigs, life is perfect. I owe it to The Stones. I kick ass, I don't take shit from anyone, and I'm never bored. Ever.
So now that I'm in my first year teaching and finally have money (worked my ass off to graduate with no student debt), I'm @#$%& flying out from Vancouver. I got VIP passes to Buffalo, also got floor seats for Detroit, and I'm going to buy a front stage zone pass for Quebec City. I got calls and lectures from my family about how I'm wasting my time and money, and I can't do this, but with the Notgiveashit attitude I developed over the years, I've been able, like usual, to tell 'em to @#$%& off. Dreams are always meant to be chased and this is going to be the culmination of everything I've worked my ass off to achieve and become since their Bigger Bang tour, thanks to them.
Thanks Charlie, Mick, Keith, and Ronnie! I owe you big time!
Now, anybody with previous VIP experience have any tips for when to arrive/anything I should look out for? Any other West Coast Canucks attending?

Any native Buffalo(ites?) have any tailgating and/or bar recommendations, or is anything already in the works from IORR I have missed?

I'm familiar having Bills tickets tickets in the 300's. I would go with the middle and further back. Its like 6 of one and half dozen of another. Tough call.
I believe, just like Bills games the stadium lots will open 4 hours(4pm) before the 8pm show time. My 2 lots next to the stadium at 4155 & 4170 Abbott Road O.P. N.Y 14127 will be open by noon if not earlier. I am willing to setup a reserved area where IORR posters can easily meet. July 11 will be hot and both lots have plenty of grass to party on (one being my house)and yes I have plenty of restrooms and the lots are watched during the show. Please post if you need any more info.Quote

I can help out with tailgating/gathering as I own property next to Ralph Wilson Stadium.I open a lot earlier than the stadium lots which does Disney style parking (no reserved parking. I do not do Disney style parking in fact depending upon interest I can hold 30-40 spots for tailgating in one of my lots which are a short and safe 3 minute walk to Ralph Wilson Stadium.I will not release anymore info until I get approval from the powers of this board which I sent a email to and am waiting for a reply.
Thanks. Will you be going to fan fest May 2 this way we can meet.Quote

Wondering if you ever got permission to release info on your parking lots?
If so, I have a couple questions if you don't mind answering.
1. Price?
2. Map/Overhead photo detailing the lots and stadium?
3. Do the lots have security, especially during the concert?
4. Lot Opening & Closing times?
Thank you.
