Klink - The VIP passes have the doors opening at noon. If you can get a VIP pass I would. I would ask Patti or someone may have an extra. At least you'll save some money and you can buy more knives. I think the 1 day admission is 12.00. The VIP is good for all three days and is only 5.00. The Hogs told me to get there early or I would miss out. You should ask Gravel Face he would know more about it than I.
