Find a tent for camping out for tickets in rain?

I am looking for a 6-8 man tent that needs to survive 24 hours in Oregon, during heavy rain, without being staked down. It will be set up on concrete, and is for camping out for tickets. between 5 and 12 people will be in it at any given time. Ideally it should remain dry inside, be able to be sealed or vented with mesh as we choose, and be under $400. Any suggestions?
Not exactly sure of the cost, but it should be in your ballpark: The REI Kingdom 8, or Kingdom 6 would fit the bill. Also check out the Hobitat 6.
Coleman makes the only tent with a stay dry guarantee. The sundome models are ‘free standing” and for the size you need the price is right. $136.99us
