How long to get through security this tour?

Post by Indyjohn37 » Fri May 26, 2023 11:44 pm

Is there anyone who has been to any shows this tour who can tell me how long it has been taking to get through security and into the show? I keep hearing people have been missing parts of the show and i missed a few first set songs at st louis last year due to it taking about 2 hours for me to get in after doors. But that was the slowest and worst I have ever experienced it 25 years of shows

Haven't been to a show this year, yet. All the years prior at Folsom, the shakedown, "Weir" pretty much non existent. The ga field line (east side, away from the mountains) is the serious "rubber stamp express". But waiting in line for 7-8 hours has it privileges. But for some reason I always get the person in training and/ or with the faulty scanner. And yet I seem to get the same exact locale every year. If in doubt, if practicable, get there early. Best of luck kids. See ya upfront!?

That's unfortunate. Wishing you, and a lot of other concert goers a better outcome this year.

Security's a venue thing, not a band thing. So every venue's different. You're probably better poking around in communities of other bands that have played this year at the venue you're wondering about. With that being said, security at The Forum was chill and didn't take too long
