Has anybody been to Ravinia? I'm waiting to buy tickets online - wondering if I should plump for reserved seats or just go for the lawn? What's better/more fun? Help! We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Hi, Gen. The lawn. Bring your own food and wine and comforts and enjoy | |

As appealing at that sounds, based on other feedback I've gotten, I'm actually leaning toward seats. (If I can still get them. I've been "in line" at their website for over two hours.
Plus, I want to wear a dress and be cute and shit. A seat might be better for that. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

) I've been told that you can't see the stage from most of the lawn - and I really, really doubt Sweetie is going to want to get in line in the middle of the afternoon for an 8:00 show so we have a shot at seeing anything.
Who's playing? | |

Yeah the lawn is more informal hang out, drink and eat and listen to music. If you want to see the performance the seats are the way to go. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

Depends on why and who you plan to see at Ravinia. If you're going on an average night with some nice music from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra or some local jazz band, then you definitely want to go on the lawn. Bring a couple of your collapsible folding chairs and a picnic basket stocked with some fine wine and enjoy the ambiance. If you're going to see a big name act, however, spend the money on pavillion seats so you can see the artist perform.
