We'll have concession tents (food, drink, merch, toilets, etc) and an open area for fans to hang out, meet eachother and get pysched for the show!

We ask that you please be respectful to eachother and the venue grounds. Please use trash cans, etc. You're representing 311 and we want to continue to show our love for New Orleans. Unity!

Also, please keep in mind that this is a long day and a long show, so pace yourselves and save your energy for the concert. And if you're drinking alcohol - please drink responsibly.

SHOWTIMES:
Doors to the New Orleans Arena will open at 5:30PM. 311 will start their show at 7:00PM. There is no opening band. This gives you plenty of time to get situated before the curtain drops at 7pm.

Fans either have a General Admission Floor ticket, or a Reserved Seat ticket.
Wherever you may be in the house, get ready to be rocked!

A new batch of tickets was recently released at Ticketmaster.com , so please help spread the word to anyone that may still be looking for seats!

3-11 DAY MERCH:
Be sure to check out the special 3-11 DAY merchandise being offered at the show, including 3-11 Day event t-shirts, posters, koozies, 311 mardi gras beads and more!!

311 - BACK IN THE STUDIO:
311 are working hard in their Hive Studio in Los Angeles writing new material for their next album. The band is in the initial writing stage, so there are no song titles, album title or release date at this time. The new album will be released in '09. The band are truly excited with the direction that the new tunes are headed. All good things in all good time!!

311 UNITY TOUR / SUMMER 2008:
311 will be on tour this summer, playing mostly amphitheatres coast to coast! The tour will span late June through early/mid August. It's going to be an amazing tour, and we look forward to telling you more later in March as things confirm. So start making your plans to join us for some summer shows and more good times ahead!!
311 LAUNCHING OFFICIAL FAN CLUB:
311 will soon be launching a more established, official fan club in mid March. "The 311 Hive - Official 311 Fan Club" will be an improved system to ensure that the best seats in the house go to true 311 fans, and not to scalpers. Plus you'll still be saving on service fees and get a bunch of other 311 goods, priority member benefits and exclusive content for being an official 311 Hive Member. We'll share those details with you soon, as the The 311 Hive Fan Club will go active before this summer's Unity Tour. So stay tuned!
