Just got my golden ticket! Just got the email from Sirius contest I'm in! Guessing it's from the bootleg question lottery.
Congrats!
Email came at 7:47 pm EST. Sender was something like confirmation@siriusxmevents. Me plus guest. Arrive with guest 630-730 to check in. Show starts at 8. Busing concert goers out after show
@kosteva2 what do they mean by bussing people out? Where they bussing them to?
From google on U2 Apollo show, appears they had buses back to Manhatten.

The Apollo is in Manhattan. It is in Harlem which is a neighborhood in Manhattan.
Some advice for future Sirius contests like this. If it's in a venue that's close but not directly in your home local change your account address to match with where the contest is.
I won Sirius Phish tickets in December when they sent similar email directed to Philly area listeners. When the Pearl Jam show was announced I changed my account address to my Pearl Jam touring buddy's address in NYC to make sure I got the email and it worked.
If you don't "win" a ticket through conventional means don't give up. For Phish fans with the approval of Sirius/Pandora started a standby list. They just wrote names in order of when they got there as early as noon that day. Closer to show time they all reconvened and lined up in order across the street. Once Sirius/Pandora knew how many unclaimed tickets they had left they went right down the standby list in order. At least 230 people including my neighbor got in that way.
I agree with this. With all the health concerns lately, I'm sure there will be a lot of no-shows. How do we organize the standby list?

Not a great neighborhood and not centrally located for hotels or transit. They also probably don’t want us idiots around longer than we have to be. As someone else said, probably busing to Port Authority, Grand Central and maybe Penn Station would be my guess instead of everyone wandering a few blocks to find the subway or having a bunch of uber traffic in the area.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

Sorry, to Port Authority. I have have been to the Apollo and took Subway.

Note about that phish show. Weather wasn’t good. NYC VIPs decided not to go due to the travel. Bigger venue.

The Met was about twice as big as Apollo. They did convert orchestra seating to GA so may have boosted a little more although the tickets distributed to standby had seat/section assignments so it wasn't like total free for all with them. Was cold outside but nothing unusual for Northeast in December. Logistics a little different for that where had to get there to pick up ticket in 12-5 range then come between 630-7 for entry. Pearl Jam is all come closer to show time and go right on. Didn't seem like any VIP/suit presence at all. If there was they blended in well and wouldn't know difference from any other Phish fan. Given location and higher suit/VIP presence for other Apollo shows like Paul McCartney and U2 agree there will be more of that here than Phish. Everyone got complimentary poster at Phish show although it wasn't up to same quality/artist level as Phish/Pearl jam usually sell at shows.

I was able to get into the Guns N’ Roses one at the Apollo cause I got a call at 745 that someone I knew had tickets that were going to folks that couldn’t make it.
Again this one is going to be extremely tough. The inner sirius world for this one is chaos for tickets. There is a list and no one will knows who’s getting in until a couple days before.

Interesting. So you're saying the vast majority of tickets which go to sirius insiders don't get distributed until the last minute? Why is that?
Did anyone see that Governor of NY enacted state of emergency? Thoughts?
If it gets crazy and to the point that events cancelled in next couple weeks I'd imagine they do make up shows for MSG and Apollo later. There will definitely be some open dates at MSG in the spring based how the Knicks are playing. Usually multi event venues like that with NBA/NHL teams don't book other events during playoff season
