My wife and I attended the June 20, 2015 Concert in the park. The concert was really good, Restless Heart followed by Diamond Rio.
My complaint is that they advertised the "doors open" at 5pm. I drove out to Andover two days before the show so I could look at the parking. 100.5 The Wolf had a parking map on their website, and a lot of those were inside the park, where I wanted to be.
On the day of the show, I had to met a friend to give him his wrist band, required for admission. Signs were posted in the schools parking lot west of the park that said "Event Parking." I met him at one of these.
I wanted to park inside the park itself, so I gave my friend his wristband, and told him I was going to go get in line for the "doors opening."
I left my friend, and got in line to enter the park. The left lane said "VIP only". I assumed that the right lane was for regular event parking inside the park. However, when I got up to the police woman, she told me to park in the same parking lot I had just left.
I did, and walked a very long way carrying two chairs, and walked right inside the park, even though it was 30 minutes before "doors open."
Nothing was ever posted or advertised about being required to park in an area very far away if you showed up to wait in line for the doors to open.
It just would have been nice to know. I hope this helps someone else next year. "Doors open at 5pm", meant nothing. read more
