Darien Lake is encouraging people to arrive early

They're anticipating a huge show on Wednesday night when Tyler Childers rolls into town, and they're asking people to get there early. This one will probably be a sold-out show, and that, of course, could create heavy traffic delays getting to the venue. They're also encouraging people to take advantage of carpooling and ride-sharing to help keep the traffic as low as possible.

There's going to be a pre-show party

Not only are they asking people to show up early, but they're giving them more reasons to do it. They're going to open the gates a little earlier than usual for a unique pre-show party in the South Concourse (main entrance).

To set the vibe and get people pumped up for the show, they're going to be doing all kinds of things at the pre-party including:

• Raffling off tickets to future shows
• Raffling off Darien Lake swag
• Raffling off their custom-made camp flag for this show (this is the same camp flag they gift to the artist)
• Yard games
• Buffalove Bus photo booth

There will also be a value menu for food and drinks including $5 beers, $2 hot dogs, and more.

Lots open @ 2:30pm

Doors open @ 5:30pm (to just the Main Entrance/South Concourse)
