    Thanks for all the info- this community is simply amazing
    We're VIP2 and super pumped to hang in the back with the 10c
    Looking for any details on the security stringency

    Same here. Can someone please post what the protocol was after they have gotten in?

    Many thanks.
    It's as advertised. They may not let me bring in Advil.
    Someone said that about advil? I have medications with me for my digestive issues better not give me a hard time

    Wait, what? How did they even find Advil on you?

    What is the screening process?

    Put the green down your pants and you'll be fine.

    My issue is my vap. It's clean as a whistle, and I don't know if they can prevent me from taking it in, but having it confiscated would suuuuuuuck....

    Entrance to VIP2 and 3 was very quick... two "security filters" where they just take a glimpse at your open bag. Sealed water bottles are ok as well as food (granola bars for me). After those two filters, i got my wristband and then TSA folks have metal detectors and wands. I just went through the metal detector wihout issues. My battery charger was OK.

    Vip 2 has the rail full all the width of the stage and perhaps 7 people deep, all comfy seated.

    GA at the front seems full from my view all the way up to half vip2. Vip3 seems empty, just people on the rail.

    They let it in. The pat down was lax. Seperate metal detector.

    Thanks for all the info. I'm still at home in Jersey, 5 minute drive to NY WATERWAY ferry. Have my VIP3 solo ticket printed out but in the midst of panic attack, been having them for about a week so haven't been on here . (I have panic disorder & other fun stuff like that so it's not simply anxiety). Some days i could jump in my car & be on line in an hour tops. Today, just posting is freaking me out. Judge if you want, but I'm posting to try to deal with my disability & not miss seeing Pearl Jam finally. I hate this fucking disease, i can see the area where central park is from my porch. Have fun everyone that's in the City right now, or is on their way.

    What's the poster and such looking like from vip. Do they hand you the items?

    To anyone taking the B train from downtown, I've now been waiting at 34th street for over a half an hour. This is incredible. There is a 60k person concert taking place and the MTA has almost no trains running there right now.

    I'm about to blow a gasket.

    No B train service. Super. Anyone coming the same way, take the D to 59th and transfer to the C.

    Both lines end up in front of plaza hotel and curl into Central Park. Don't see any way how this takes less than 3 hours at this point.

    Yeah I stand corrected. It took an hour to go from 66th to 72nd east side. Currently winding through the park. Hopefully make it in by Coldplay.

    Are the mid area pens filled already?
