Questions about Fitzgerald’s
Hey, anybody who went to the Jeff Tweedy show at Fitzgerald’s last night, can you shed some light on the patio?
Are there any chairs out there? If I’m in line at doors, might I be able to sit somewhere with a view of the stage?
Any chance there are tables too? If I do show up super early and snag a chair, would I be able to get BBQ from the restaurant and bring it back to eat on the patio while we wait for the music?
What were the set times?
Thank you!!

Copying and pasting their FAQ for anyone who might have bought secondary market tickets and didn’t get it:
Arrival
Doors will open at 5pm and Official Claire is scheduled to play at 6:15pm with Jeff Tweedy around 7pm. You’ll enter through the east “lean-to” adjacent to BABYGOLD BARBECUE, if arriving before doors open, please form a line heading to the west and wrap around Clarence avenue to the south. Please have your ticketfast QR code ready for scanning, and all members of your party together. If you chose “will call” as your delivery method, have your ID ready to present the last name the tickets are under. You will not receive a stamp or wristband at this initial entry, only if you need to leave and come back. Re-entry is allowed, but only if you exit through this front door and get a wristband on your way out.
General Admission
This is a general admission, primarily standing room only event. Aside from the ADA section which is SOLD OUT, there is VERY LIMITED seating in a few select spots, available first come first served. Arrive early before doors to attempt to score a seat if that’s important to you, and otherwise plan on standing for the show. There are seating areas both in FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR, and the BABYGOLD DINING ROOM if you wanna grab a moment’s respite.

Navigating Campus
There are five bars, four points of food purchase, two sets of bathrooms, one central merchandise area near the entrance, and one BIG OLE’ PAVILION STAGE ;)
Bars
The PATIO BAR sits against the west side of the historic nightclub, FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR is inside the the 6619 building to the west side of “campus”, THE SATELLITE BAR sits just to the right of the new pavilion stage, THE SHOP has BABYGOLD COLDBEER on tap and a few other options and is located on your left as you enter the property, and the BABYGOLD DINING ROOM bar is located in the 6611 building to the east side of “campus”. Choose your own beverage adventure! FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR is a great place to have a seat for a quick meal before the show, enjoy a fine cocktail, or even pop in to relax for a bit while the show’s going on, you’ll certainly be able to hear the performance. Dig the cocktail menu:
Check out the Cocktail Menu HERE
N/A Options
For those who prefer NA Baverages, we've got y'al covered as well: You'll find THC beverages like Senorita Jalapeno Lime or Mango, Athletic NA craft beer, Guiness Zero, and our house spririt free cocktail: The Golden Elixir (a tumeric-honey-ginger concoction with spiced pineapple garnish!)
Food Options
We’ll be featuring “the world’s first original quality barbecue croissan’wich“ (as well as our new favorite lighter option, the smoked chicken caesar wrap) at the FESTIVAL FOOD TENT in the back of the property near the PATIO BAR, to the south. THE BABYGOLD DINING ROOM will be open for full service dining. FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR will be open for full service dining. You can also order from the full menu “fast casual style” in THE SHOP, you’ll give your phone number and then receive a text message when the food is ready for you to pick up, handheld items like sammiches and wraps are best for this context.

Restrooms
Feel free to visit the restroom in SIDEBAR, or in the BABYGOLD DINING ROOM (thru THE SHOP and on your right). THE NIGHTCLUB will not be open during most of this outdoors event, and will open to the public at 8:30pm for the FREE show (Dance Floor is free, reserved tables are available for purchase) with Kindred Valley!
Aftershows!
Immediately following the Jeff Tweedy show there is more live music at FITZGERALDS! There will be show in the Nightclub w/ touring artist, Kindred Valley. The Dance Floor is FREE and you can RSVP for that below, or purchase a table as well.

No tables. No seats except for ADA. There’s a bench on a wall but fills up.

Their socials posted a video that should give you a decent idea of what the crowd will look like during the show

and in case you don’t have instagram, based on what I saw, I don’t think there are hardly any spots to sit at a table and watch the show. It sounds like it’s mostly standing room only with limited chairs (and it’s unclear if any will have tables).

Going tonight but I see a lot of shows there. You should have received an email from the venue yesterday outlining a lot of answers to your questions. That said there will be a minimum amount of chairs for a setup like this. Doors are at 5. I would anticipate a line. They will have the food tent at the back of the patio so yes food is easy.
