Hey Fellow Fans! I'm still on cloud 9 after an incredible show last night at Barclays. I was able to be first row, right in-between Mike and Jeff. It was amazing. I've seen a lot of questions about how to time for the show tonight (see you there!) so I thought I'd give my thoughts as someone who did it yesterday and lives in the area!
I picked up my tickets early, around 3pm. Given that today is a weekend you may want to do it even earlier. They make everyone anywhere CLOSE to the will-call window exit the stadium and circle back to get back in for their seats.
Once I had my tickets I went back to the stadium around 5:15pm. They open about 5 doors right in front of the main entry, right outside of the main subway exit. If you come up the escalators, walk straight and find a door.
Each door will have a lane. By getting there at 5:15pm, I was the first in my line. By 5:20pm there were about 10 people in my lane, by 5:45 it was slammed. Doors opened around 6:30pm, maybe a touch later, if I remember. PJ came on stage around 8:20 - 8:30.
There's a lot of food on Flatbush - get a sandwich, get a bottle of coke, maybe touch the coke up with some sauce if that's your thing, and meet some fellow fans!
Once the doors open, make a beeline for the metal detectors. Everything out, quick swipe with the wand. Take a left through the detectors and go through the closest door you can. When walking left you are actually walking AWAY from the stage, but they might not let you in the first entry you see.
I hope that helps people not be worried or stressed!
Incredible show, as always, last night. Huge thank you to Pearl Jam and the fellow fans.
Best,
James
