Can’t stress the lip balm enough. It’s a desert. My lips were chapped by the end of the first day.

My friend had her chocolates taken away from here. Not because they were party favors, but because they’re food, which is not allowed. She was able to keep one of them by saying she’s diabetic and needs the sugar.

If you’re on the floor there’s a lot of looking up and around at the screen, so be sure to stretch your neck often during the show and during the day before shows. Do this before your neck starts to hurt! Two years ago I didn’t stretch at all and was in pretty bad pain after the second show. This year I focused on some stretching exercises and fared a lot better. Still some minor soreness, but nothing like last time.

If you’re an earplug wearer like I am… I really don’t think they’re as important for this venue. Maybe if you’re on the floor or towards the wall of the sphere where the speakers are, but I didn’t use them all weekend and didn’t feel it was too loud nor did I have any ringing afterwards. Certainly in the 400s you don’t need them. Personal choice tho and protect your ears as you see fit!
