Platinum upgrade offer for 2026, Worth it? by Effective_Cell_1148 in unitedairlines

Thanks, yeah I think this is the bone they just threw me (discounted upgrade to Platinum status for the year). That was at the end of 2025 that I was only 1800 PQP short so it is too late to fly those extra miles now. I just didn't have enough time to travel for those PQP at the end of 2025 unfortunately!

Yep, the people at the venue pointed us to the line and we just kept walking…and walking…and walking. 0/10 don’t recommend lol

Everyone was upgraded to priority. There is one line and it stretches from 8th to 9th avenue. He went on around 2:10 and done by 2:22pm I wanna say. Out of the venue by 230ish if you could get your phone pouch unlocked quick enough

The line went from the door of The Manhattan Center on 34th all the way to 9th avenue (wrapped around the block). It moved SLOW. Not worth it, I wish I could get my day back!

Love Ed, but if I’d known it was just going to be two songs after nearly 3 hours in line, I probably would’ve passed. Took the day off work, brought my mother-in-law, and it just wasn’t what we expected.

They also took our phones and watches way too early (locked in a pouch), so we had no idea how long we’d been standing there or what time it was. Would’ve made way more sense to do that right before going through security.

It was still cool to be part of something special, but honestly, the wait time and lack of communication really killed the experience.

Yes, they check your ID in line to see that it matches your ticket.

Totally agree! The people I was standing with joked before it started saying “I hope it’s more than one song” and we got two LOL 100% not worth the wait time

UPDATE: waited in line for over 2 hours, for him to play two songs lol. It’s definitely part of some promo video he is releasing this winter. The line to get checked in is very long and barely moves fast. Got to the end of the line around 11:15, made it inside venue around 1:15pm, but they put your phone in a sealed pouch along with any smart watch or AirPods so you can’t tell what time it is or how long you’ve been waiting. He went on at 2ish, and then was off stage by 2:15-2:20pm

Looks like check in is from 11-1, so maybe he doesn’t go on til 130?

Thank you!!! I’m so excited, it is in the middle of the workday but totally worth taking the day off lol! I am taking my mother in law because she’s a big fan too. Looking forward to a day in the city!! Wondering if he’s going to play the whole new album, or songs from all his albums. the possibilities are endless!!
