Concert Tickets: Tallying Summer Citations (May 24)

Keep track with Tinley Park Patch as the drinking tickets and other citations pour in for young adults trying to sneak a cold one or get into other mischief at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre.

Summer is the season that tends to bring out the urge to have some fun while the weather is nice. And that urge can go hand in hand with poor judgment.

One spot in Tinley Park where people like to have fun is checking out a concert at First Midwest Bank Amphitheater. And while the majority of people who attend events are well-behaved (except those rowdy Yo-Yo Ma fans), some can act in an unacceptable manner. This summer, Patch will be keeping tracking of select citations handed out by the Tinley Park Police Department at the venue during concerts. It's something we like to call the Concert Tickets. It's not something you want to pick up at the box office.
