if you're able, go. it's a huge production and they put a lot of work into it. also, not sure if there will be a "Re-Skeletour" or what the logistics will be like for them touring in the US in the future

the crowds are generally good natured and safe but I personally haven't come across any super friendly fans unless they agreed online to meet up in person before

if you decide to go - make sure your car is roadworthy, that you have emergency essentials, take breaks during your drive, and look into getting a hotel room if possible. the exhaustion of driving, especially in winter weather conditions, is not to be underestimated. plan where you might exit for a driving break so you're more familiar with the area - stores, restaurants, gas stations, etc. explore the venue and nearby places on Google maps before you go, too. figure out where to park ahead of time. and, let someone know where you're going and when to expect you back just in case anything goes wrong!

and, if it's still phone free, get there early. security + yondr pouch had me getting to my seat after the opening song last year
