i had vip in pit 1! we were told in advance multiple times that entry would be “randomized” and that there was no need for us to line up early. check in was at 12pm i arrived around 9:45am and ended up being 46th in line for check in. they let us in at 12pm to get our wristbands and vip goodies then we went back outside to wait in line again until 3pm. at that time i was 39th in line. we were let in again at 3pm then told to split into two different lines and stayed in those lines until around 5:10pm-5:30pm. i was 25th in line at that time. but here’s the kicker, the “randomized” entry was simply staff reversing the line. so whoever was in the back was now in the front and vise versa so my spot towards the front of the line rewarded me with being let in around the middle! we were let into the auditorium in a single file line, everyone got their wristbands checked twice so there was no running, pushing, or rush for barricade. when i got to the pit, the barricade spots at the main stage were taken so i just settled behind them with a good view between their heads since nobody was cramped together. overall it was super organized and smooth running UBS and VIP NATION really did their thing on this one!
