We had a great experience, overall, but we got there early on purpose knowing the set up. We arrived about 3pm to the Thunder Ridge area. We never stopped in traffic on 65. Once we turned onto 86 we sat in traffic for about 45 minutes. We had on site parking. We walked to the venue, and got got in line. There were maybe 500 people in front of us. We had field tickets. These tickets are in the mulch on level part of the "floor" surrounding the actual seats. If you are there early go to the far right side. Everyone was stopping on the left side. We were right at the fence about 10 rows back from the front. We had an incredible vantage point. Also no one on our side was crowding up against anyone else. Everyone had their space and stayed in it.
Leaving was a bit different. We sat in our parking spot for 2.5 hours as we could tell and knew it wasn't going to move. Bring water and snacks for the car after, but know, there's no bathrooms in the parking lot, but there are trees nearby. We live off 65, Ozark, area. We got home at 2am. Concert let out at 10-10:15 and the walk took awhile to the car as the mass amount of people trying to move through the same small space.
We would go again and our planning was fine, however, people we planned to go with didn't have the same experience and missed 1/2 the concert. Also most of the workers(not drink or food sellers), but parking and attendants inside were incredibly rude. However, I can't say I blame them. I don't feel they were trained at all AND had people yelling at them because of how bad outside the arena was. People we went with said others were berating the bus drivers and parking lot attendants and some quit mid-job. If you plan to go, go early.
