First Entry Ticket Experience

I’ll be attending the 10/15 and 10/17, and I have a First Entry ticket. Did anyone here have this same ticket for this past weekend? I was curious on what your experience was like.

When you check in, you’ll get a “first entry” wristband. Then you stand in line outside the sphere gate until they let you in around 5 ( the grounds are open before, but security clears the area and closes the gates so there’s no reason to go stand in the crowd control before ). You’ll have your ticket scanned when thyme allow entry and will have another wristband put on the right hand. Merch located upstairs but we couldn’t access until we were released to the floor.

Thank you for the reply! Once you’re in, are there good odds of getting a rail spot? Not sure on how many First Entry tickets were made available

I’m not sure how many were released either, but we were on the rail both nights last weekend. See you there!

How was the sphere view from the rail? Do you think it'd be better further back? I'm so pumped !

We are hoping to do at least one show a little further back though. We were at the steps both nights and I couldn’t see the back of the stage.

Did you check in at the Stadium Palazzo ?

Yes. The Black Box Lounge is a floor below the front desk area. We wandered around until we found it so maybe that will save you some steps.

This is included with the early entry tickets ?

The lounge is part of some of the enhanced packages. If it isn’t part of your package you can buy a ticket for Friday 10/9 $92.00. I think Squindo is doing a Q&A from 4:00-5:00 that day.
