Ford Amphitheatre at Florida State Fairgrounds

NEVER BUY TICKETS FOR A SHOW AT THE FORD AMPITHEATRE. How early should you arrive at a venue for a concert? If it's the Ford Ampitheatre, apparently the answer is FOUR HOURS. On June 2nd 2009 we hit traffic outside the fairgrounds an hour before the concert started, and sat there for 4 hours slowly inching forward before we got the concert only in time to see No Doubt's last four songs. We missed Paramore completely. We've been to other concerts in bigger cities, and never had this happen. There is no excuse for this. The traffic control management caused thousands of people to miss the concert, and those people deserve compensation.
