One thing I've observed lately is the need to arrive early, at any of the venues.  Recently, issues have developed at the Denny Sanford Premier Center with concert-goers arriving in mass just a few minutes before the show starts, causing long wait times and even missing the first few songs of the show.

Getting on the Fairgrounds in time for a show has been an issue in previous years, with stop and go traffic in long lines into every entry point.  Arrive early, take your time grabbing your snacks and a drink and enjoy the show!
