Have been there many times and it's a nice venue, but it's set up for the CSO, Chicago Symphony, and you can't see the stage from most of the lawn. They sometimes put up video screens but the lawn is flat. You can bring in food and party on the lawn and listen to the show. The pavilion seats about 3,000 and the lawn around 20,000. There is limited parking there but they do set up parking in other lots and run buses. You will have to wait in line afterwards for the return trip. They also have a donor set up for early sales and some shows do sell out before they go on sale to the public. Check the website, Ravinia.org, for further information.

First of all, a quick thank you to the staff at the Overture Center for quickly correcting on sale problem and to the staff at Mellencamp for their concern and working on the problem. I'm one of those who is happy to get a decent seat, don't need to be up close on the floor and having to stand for most of the show or stuck behind a taller person and doing the head bob to see, going "Is he on stage yet?". I ended up with 3 shows, a box in Chicago, 2nd row balcony in Rockford, and front row 2nd level in Madison. This way I can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. I saw earlier postings about fans and not wanting to sit next to them. I went to 3 different shows this year and had to deal with people who just didn't care or were plain rude. Went to Warren Haynes - Music of Garcia and had 2 ladies who talked and texted through the entire first set. I found another seat and moved between sets. Saw CSN and had people in and out of seats all night and person next to me didn't know the band members. Finally saw Tony Bennett and in the middle of "San Francisco" lady screamed out to "sing it", his reply wasn't so nice. Hopefully everybody going is going for the show and not just to be there. Done with my rant and getting off the soap box now.
