    So with all of the talks about bags and purses not being let in, what do you do with your stuff if you buy merch before the show.  If you don't have a hotel or car nearby to store your stuff, will they let you in with your merch?  Or do you either use the storage kiosk that everyone talks about or wait to buy your merch inside of the stadium.  Thoughts???


    Last night I saw a dude that rolled up one of those cloth cinch bag in his pocket.  There is no metal in it, so after going thru security he unrolled it and muled his stuff around backpack style.  I will be doing that for Friday's show so I don't have to jam my pockets with unopened water bottles..  Also, in the GA merch stands (at least the one in right field) they had paper bags for people to carry their stuff around.  I know there are locker rentals near the stadium, but I have not used them so I have no idea what the deal is with those.

    I didn’t buy any merch, but we were told by security that merch bags from the outside tents would be allowed inside the venue. Can’t tell you for sure if this was the case, I was too busy juggling my phone, wallet, earplugs, protein bars and water to pay attention to what was going on around me :lol:

    OMG People are now flipping Gyros.... :open_mouth:  Yeah, buy out all the Gyros and flip them for twice as much.  Heck if they could put a bottle of air from PJ20 on the bay, you could but a Gyro from Seattle 1 on there too.

    They were very strict about the bag sizes. Anyone with a bag that didn't fit dimensions was turned away. It's kind of senseless when you figure that a vast majority are buying merch outside and have a tote bag that doesn't fit the requirements. I would plan on using the storage kiosk if you're going to buy merch outside and then go into the show. The other option is to buy merch inside.

    Were they turning away people with merch bags? Security told the GA line that merch bags purchased from outside merch tent would be allowed in the venue. I didn’t have one so can’t validate but that’s not good if they are being inconsistent.

    I saw several people in GA who had their merch purchases slung over their shoulder.  I figured those were people who were made to dump their merch bags upon entering Safeco.  One dude next to me had quite a number of shirts on his shoulder for the whole concert.

    We didn't have one because we bought our merch inside, but they told anyone in our line at the center field gate that no bags larger than the specified dimensions could come in. We didn't see anyone being allowed in with them at that entrance, so I think people had to go store them. Sounds like it may have been different info at the GA entrance. Very unorganized to say the least.

    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel

    So frustrated with merch lines, stood in line 3 times and once the sizes I needed were gone and the other two I wasn't willing to miss half the show.  Man, I live here, haven't seen them since 2013 and I can't get a fuckin shirt to my hometown show.  The staffing is bad, completely understaffed everywhere.  Was in line inside for close to two hours pon the 200 level and we moved maybe 15 feet.  I'm done whining,  I just want a damn shirt/hoodie.  ;(
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there....there's much more than this.

    Also, a woman in front of me literally filled a rolling suitcase she brought along.  Totally greedy, don't buy it ALL, possibly to re-sell.  They need limits, obviously people can't behave themselves...

    This is awful - I'm sympathetic for your experience.
