Where to sit

Best value

Rear reserved sections — a real seat for not much more than lawn on many dates.

Best sound

Center reserved near the mix position (the sound booth) is what the engineer tunes for.

Lawn tips

Arrive early, bring a blanket; screens cover the detail. Cheapest way into a big summer show.

Weather

Reserved seats are usually under the pavilion roof; lawn is open sky.

CMAC fan tip

Pair it with dinner on the Canandaigua lakefront pier; chairs are allowed on the lawn most shows.
