in The Porch
Hey everyone! Sorry if I missed this somewhere...how will the GA process work for the upcoming leg? Last time I was GA, I was able to line up early in the morning, grab a wristband with a number on it, and then come back shortly before early entry and everyone kindly lined up in the order of their wristbands for entry into the venue. Will this be the same process? Thank you all and see you in Missoula!

    It depends on the venue. Some venues may do that. But be prepared to wait outside all day in line if they don't.

    Where and when did that happen? I haven't heard of that happening with PJ shows I don't think. Normally you just have to wait in line.

    I think this is how they ran it at the United Center in Chicago last year, no?

    Yes they did this in Chicago last year on both nights. Worked well there IMO.

    MSG shows had wristbands given out the last tour for GA,  but other cities on the same tour did not. We got an email w/ instructions about 10 days prior. 9am to pick up 5 pm to line up.

    Thanks for the info! This happened both in Austin last year and Vegas this year. In Vegas, somebody from the venue was handing out wrist bands around 8:00 am.

    In Vegas this year, morning wristbands were only given out the first day, not the second day. So even the same venue changes the procedure from one show to the next. The second day we were required to be in line all day, in an area with zero shade, in the blistering sun/heat.
    There were no early wristbands for LA or Seattle.

    IF anyone gets an update on this process for Wrigley GA N1 next week, please update here. I had to get our GA passes on the secondary market and am worried we won't get any instruction ahead of time as a result.
