Would've loved to see both Daughtry and Staind instead of sitting in my car for 3 hours to travel 8 miles!!! Thank goodness we arrived in time (8:45 pm stepped foot into the stadium!) to see Nickelback or I would've strangled the first Hershey Park employee I encountered!! Who would've known that driving a normal 20-minute commute would last 3 hours instead! We drove from Trenton NJ to Harrisburg in less time (2 hr 15 min) than it took to get from Harrisburg to Hershey! Thank goodness we checked into our hotel first at 5 pm. We didn't get back to the Hotel until 2 am! And the concert ended at 10:30!! What the hell were they thinking? First, they funneled us down to 1 lane to get in, then they wouldn't let us out!! I saw cars jumping curbs just to escape at 1 am. It was ridiculous. I don't know about anyone else, but I think Hershey should refund ticket prices in light of their inadequate traffic flow problems. And why did they insist on us parking so far away from the stadium? (Read on....) (anyone catch the Nickelback reference ... "So far away ...") My husband recently recovered from a compound fractured leg and we had to walk forever just to get there (and he can't run yet). The backlog walking away from the concert was similarly as bad ... instead of waiting to cross the footbridge back to the parking lot, people (us included) were risking their lives crossing the road and limbo-ing through the fences just to get out. I'm still in shock and disappointment over the entire evening. Like others, I had to get an overnight babysitter, and pay for a hotel, not to mention the cost of our tickets, just to catch 1 1/2 hours of live music. For a married couple looking forward to this night out, we were severely upset.
