And finally ... at the show: Notes: Get there early!!! Traditionally, Neil opens the show by welcoming the crowd and playing a song. That means you will probably want to be in your seats by the time marked on the ticket.

If you have to pick up tickets at the box office day of show, REALLY get there early. The lines are always horrendous.

In the past, tickets have been released the day of the show. However, there will be stiff competition for them. Good luck.
