| 1. Are we allowed to bring in cameras? Answer: Yes, cameras will be allowed into the Ford Ampitheatre. The only restrictions are no video cameras and no telephoto lenses. Your standard cameras won't be a problem. 2. What are we allowed/not allowed to bring? Answer: Here's the list of things that you can/cannot bring into the Ford Amp:
3. Do you know if the Ford Amp Box Office are selling tickets? Or is the only way to get reserved tickets via online? Answer: Yes they are. Here's the info, but you might want to call ahead before going out there:
4. I haven't been to a NBT concert yet but a friend of mine brought up the subject of censoring at concerts and how some shows are to be played curse word-free. I was just wondering if the bands would be censored in such a fashion or not. Answer: We do not censor our bands under any circumstances. We have never asked a band not to curse during their set. On the air, that's a different story. Your friend is probably thinking about Warped Tour in Vinoy park, where the City of St. Petersburg actually fines the promoter of the show a certain amount of money for every swear word on stage. Bands at that show are asked to keep it clean, but most don't. 5. I have Pit tickets and plan on being there at the crack of dawn to be at the stage. Is there an actual section for the Pit and how early should I be there? Answer: The doors are at 10 a.m. and the parking area at the Fairgrounds opens approximately 2 hours before that (8 a.m.). 6. Is 97X going to be giving away stuff at the concert or are you doing that as much as possible before the day of the show? Answer: Yes, we will be giving away stuff at the show. We'll probably be upgrading some lucky listeners on the lawn with Pit tickets, hooking up some people on-site with meet & greets and more. Stay tuned for details. 7. Once we enter the venue can we leave and re-enter again? Answer: There will be a no re-entry policy at NBT7, just like previous years. You will not be allowed to leave and re-enter the venue once you're in. 8. The Ford Ampitheatre is known for controversy regarding the noise level and surrounding communities. Is this going to affect the bands and be forced to "turn it down?" Answer: There is a restriction on the noise level at all shows at the Amphitheatre. All the bands have agreed to work within that noise level and none have had an issue with it. That tells me that bands are comfortable knowing that the level agreed upon is loud enough for their audience to enjoy their music. If anyone wants their music to sound the best it can, it's the band! We think you'll be pretty happy with the quality of the sound at the Amp. There's a reason that some of the best places to see live music in this country is in an amphitheatre setting. |
