I was vibee vip and went on 5/16. If you want to be this close to the stage I got in line at noon. There was a nice family giving everyone numbers to hold your spot in line. Unofficial not related to the concert staff. I was number 11. The person giving out numbers said number 1 got there around 8 am.

I went to the no doubt experience around 10:15 am to pick up my lanyard and vip gift bag. They open at 10:30am and it looks like people were lining up around 9:45am. Once you get your vip stuff you can go into the experience. It was really cool. But if you’re just there for merch, like a lot of people, just head through the experience and merch is at the end to the left. All very cool I got way too much lol.

I got my spot in line after the experience and then left to chill at the hotel. Got back in line at 3pm which seems to be when people start heading back over. We all got in the numbered line at 5:30. Sphere staff let us in the gates at 6pm. We were held in line until 6:50pm and that’s when they scanned our tickets and let us in. After security we waited in line for about 10 more minutes before they let us in the floor. Power walk your way to the barricade. I got barricade on the right right in front of Tony. Gwen spent a lot of time on the right hand side with him.

If you bring a poster Gwen will read it. At least in her head. I saw her read my poster and keep moving. She seemed to call you on stage if you had a poster. If you’re going to make a poster be respectful and don’t block the view of those around you the whole show. I saw a lot of people do this.

If you’re up front a waitress will come by a few times before the show. I ordered three sodas for $9 each I think that all came in a souvenir mug that is dishwasher safe.

All in all it was a great show and I wish I could go a second time.

Edit to add: Don’t worry about the oranges that drop from the ceiling. You won’t get one of you’re close to the stage but I felt one from someone who did catch one and it felt like a dish sponge and just looked cheap. Don’t obsess over getting one I really don’t feel like you’re missing out.
