We've gone to Sean's Freedom Concerts almost every year that he's had them at Six Flags in Jackson, NJ (I think we missed one or two). But this year we decided not to go, mostly because of the high cost of the "Gold" and "Silver" tickets (the 'good' seats). Plus we always have to book a hotel room nearby, so the drive down and back plus hotel and concert really adds up.

We paid a LOT of money last year for Gold tickets on the promise that we were getting some special close-to-the-stage seating. We ended up in the same damn hard bleacher-type seats we've been in every year, FAR from the stage. I admit I was pretty ticked off about that after paying so much money.

Although we love to support this charity, it's just too much, and we've noticed the quality of the event overall has been slipping over the years. Sean used to do a live broadcast of his radio show hours before the concert with special guests like Gary Sinise, Ann Coulter, Ollie North, Curtis Sliwa, Mark Levin and the beloved Marty (God rest his soul). The radio broadcast was one of the big attractions for us... it's hugely disappointing that he doesn't do it anymore apparently.

Sean didn't do the live radio show broadcast the past couple of years, although I noticed last year he did a live broadcast of his TV show in San Diego, where the ticket prices are lower, btw. So concert-goers in San Diego got to be part of the fun of the live TV broadcast, plus enjoyed the same concert we saw in NJ.

We don't like the Six Flags, Jackson, NJ venue either. The amusement park crowds can be kind of rough, and the place is SO crowded. The only food we've been able to find there before the concert (without waiting forever to be waited on) are soggy hot dogs. Long lines at every restroom, too.

I really wish he'd have that concert at an indoor venue that has decent restrooms nearby as well. It's OK if the weather is nice, but we've had to dodge the rain drops - and thunder storms - a few too many times over the years.

Maybe next year... although I think I'd prefer to attend the San Diego or Las Vegas concert instead of the NJ one.

We’re in Philly and will be staying with friends in Lancaster, PA. All 4 of us will be at 6 flags early for the rides and can’t wait to see the concert

We can try to meet through this thread

Wish I was going but I booked two trips to DC for the next month.

Here is a pic from the last time I went, on the anniversary of 9/11.
