AO Arena - 🇬🇧 Manchester, United Kingdom, United Kingdom - 11 May 2025

[deft sedge]

but not totally sure

[red mulch]

is there not someone you could transfer money to to buy it

[tired kiln]

no

i could buy a gift card maybe?

[deft sedge]

if they don’t accept cash id be confused

[deft sedge]

well the merch stands are operated by the TOP crew tho

[jagged ermine]

idk about mer ch bstands

[deft sedge]

so it might be different

[tired kiln]

FFFFFFUUUUCK

[deft sedge]

the merch stands might take cash

[jagged ermine]

need to ask somebody

[deft sedge]

yeah

[jagged ermine]

ask somebody in another tour chat

[grizzled turret]

the merch stands inside will be arena staff so it would be cashless aswell

[deft sedge]

but don’t be surprised if it is cashless cause i barely carry cash anywhere in the uk these days

[deft sedge]

rip

i’ll ask in another tour chat about this cause i’m curious too

[grizzled turret]

i think fpe merch stands r different though? so maybe those might do cash

if you want i can find you the day of and buy merch for u

[deft sedge]

ok so belfast that said that the match truck is set up outside the venue

merch*

[grizzled turret]

i think for the arena there isnt that much space outside for them to set up merch outside but i could be wrong

[deft sedge]

and they said they probably don’t take cash

[grizzled turret]

usually its only illegal vendors outside

[deft sedge]

yeah lol

unless they pull up round at the station?

[grizzled turret]

yeah maybe outside huntsbank

[deft sedge]

yh

[grizzled turret]

duno i can ask someone for u guys

i work at the arena thats why lol

[deft sedge]

omg no way that’s cool

[deft sedge]

can you ask where the merch will be pls

[grizzled turret]

yea heh i couldve worked the show but i was like nah imma get tickets this is my first ever concert attending and i want it to be top

[grizzled turret]

i can :)

[deft sedge]

tyyy

[deft sedge]

real

[red mulch]

tytyy

life saver

[tired kiln]

[red mulch]

[tired kiln]

cashapp not being available in the UK anymore is driving me insane

[deft sedge]

can you not use ur american cards then?

[tired kiln]

my card gets locked for any transaction outside of the US and it takes 2-3 days for it to unlock

screw capital one 💔

[dire scroll]

its meant to be 17c but i am FREEZING

https://tenor.com/view/band-mv-music-gif-3945221

[tired kiln]

guys merch isn’t taxed in the Uk is it?

[jagged ermine]

no

[tired kiln]

oh word

so if i were to potentially give someone cash in trade for merch if i can’t get a gift card

that would be like

same amount

yeah?

[red mulch]

yeah

[tired kiln]

ohcword

i might just find a gift card once i convert my money

[proper topaz]

me and @shut trail are on the way 🥳

[tired kiln]

[red mulch]

omgg

[tired kiln]

i love how being in a different country changes my tiktok algorithm

i haven’t seen a single ad nor any family guy clips on my fyp

heavenly

[cold harness]

hell yuh

[summer sinew]

rip campers?

[deft sedge]

yea

ao arena isnt the best for queueing or camping anyway lol

so makes sense

[summer sinew]

Tbf gives me a better chance of a good spot in pit as I wasn’t going to camp

[deft sedge]

camping is silly anyway imo

[summer sinew]

I reckon if I get there like 6:30 am I’ll be okay

[deft sedge]

6:30am 😭

[summer sinew]

Too early I’m guessing

[deft sedge]

idk probably lol

[summer sinew]

I mean I live about 30 min walk away so I can go back to sleep after I get a wristband

[uncut marsh]

Iam flying in tomorrow 😌 super excited!!!

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 4!

[red mulch]

safe flight!!

[pseudo pasture]

wristbands are at 8, or 9?

[summer sinew]

I’ve heard 8am more times than 9am

[pseudo pasture]

idk if i want to get up at 5am and drive over, think i might just try a bit before doors and hope for the best

[junior current]

bro I'm so stressed abt this lol

but it's gonna be goated

[jagged ermine]

oh same

goated

first time getting pit that isn’t coldplay lolz

[summer sinew]

This is my first show as well and I like can’t control myself

[junior current]

I did not get pit when I had the chance 😭

so I've got a seat wayyy up in the side of the arena

but it still should be great

my only concerns really are the queue and travel back

but I have sorted out the latter I think

[summer sinew]

How far away are you

[junior current]

oh not far at all

Stoke on Trent

I'm getting a coach back after

[jagged ermine]

okg stoke on trent LMAO

[junior current]

I go to uni at Staffs lol

[jagged ermine]

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 4!

[jagged ermine]

[junior current]

I'm pretty sure

[summer sinew]

[jagged ermine]

[summer sinew]

[red mulch]

[hidden cedar]

[strange sail]

It was one of my choices for games design!!

[strange sail]

People are saying between 2-4pm

[red mulch]

[jagged ermine]

he could be anywhere lol

just search

and look for massive groups and a guy with a camera

[red mulch]

theres so many entrances lmao

[red mulch]

fairs

[hidden cedar]

my hope is that since they have 1 day off without a concert Tyler will be able to rest his vocal chords a bit and we'll get all the line scream, squeak and doubt!! 🤞

[jagged ermine]

yeah

got that penny loafer

squEak

i need that damn squeak

what’s interesting is is we’re gonna look back at this in 10 years and be like “yeah, we’re cool”

[hidden cedar]

cross linoleum

(wtf does that even mean)

[red mulch]

me too

desperately

[hidden cedar]

Back to me.

[uncut marsh]

Penny loafers make a squeak when you slide across linoleum 😌 same with sneakers in a gym

[red mulch]

[hidden cedar]

[keen bloom]

ATTENTION EVERYONE FROM GREATER MANCHESTER WHO IS TRAVELLING TO THE ARENA BY TRAM

TRAMS ARE NOT RUNNING THROUGH BURY INTO WHITEFIELD ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE STOP WILL GO FROM BESSES O’ THE BARN INTO WHEREVER THEY ARE STOPPING IN MANCHESTER.

if you are from bury/radcliffe/whitefield and were planning to get a tram to the arena, there is a replacement bus that you can grab that can either take you from your stop straight to the arena, or from your stop to besses o’ the barn where you there can catch the tram 😁😁

[spare wren]

why arent trams running??

im not getting the tram im just nosey 💀

[keen bloom]

i’m not too sure unfortunately

probably line works

[spare wren]

like always 💔

i wake up to go to work some mornings and my tram has randomly been diverted to bury and im like

man.

[red mulch]

when is it not line works in the uk 😭

[acoustic crow]

yall im gonna get a piercing while im in manchester what do i get

[red mulch]

tonguee

[acoustic crow]

anything but that

[red mulch]

LMAO

[acoustic crow]

alsoalready got a nose piercing

i’m willing to get multiple piercings

[jagged ermine]

no tickets on ticketmaster

[tired kiln]

industrial

so wait what’s going on with the line situation?

does this mean no wristband queue ?

[jagged ermine]

haven’t a clue

[red mulch]

i think it just means no queuing hours before

[tired kiln]

ohhh ok

[acoustic crow]

ya was thinking

but like

i want 2 industrials crossing each other

[magic heart]

176,527 seconds!!

it's finally giving me an accurate time without the ai response

[night grotto]

They must be every other show had them

Plus this forces people to queue

Outside if they don’t give wristbands …

I’m going at 7am

[woeful valve]

For any female clikkies I’m doing my gfs nails either tonight or tomorrow for the show (I’m male and fairly new to this) if I send a picture when they’re done could you give me an honest rating so I know she’s not just being nice 😅

[red mulch]

sure 😭

[woeful valve]

I’ve done her nails before but I am only learning how to do them for a reason and I’ve only done them a few times

[strange sail]

I've gotten 6 emails from Ticketmaster today

[acoustic crow]

whadda we think

[red mulch]

LMAO

[red mulch]

so good!!

[acoustic crow]

plus black paint

[deft sedge]

ticket master be focusing on their email system more than their actual ticket purchasing system

[woeful valve]

Same

I’ve just ordered black paint

[red mulch]

i got some today and a smaller stick last week

[keen bloom]

so sick!!!

[deft sedge]

idk if i’m gonna do black paint

😭

i don’t wanna stroll into college the next day with stains on my neck in case it doesn’t come off

[keen bloom]

i’m not doing paint because i know ill break out sooo bad

[strange sail]

Yes you are

Free aura trust

[acoustic crow]

with paint

[keen bloom]

i love it!!

[acoustic crow]

the back has a top logo

[keen bloom]

this is what i got so far :)

[acoustic crow]

forgot to say

[red mulch]

thats the only thing im worried about 😭😭

[slate kestrel]

Bands have started having their own merch stands outside the venue on the venue grounds

[tired kiln]

hi guys! anyone want to grab food sunday morning after the wristbands?

[jagged ermine]

man i’m only there afternoon lol

[dire scroll]

repost (its also on r/toptickets and the x account): if anyone has seat tickets (either 2 or 3) i am looking to potentially swap 2 or 3 pit tickets for them. DM me if interested

[formal nest]

Does anyone wanna swap my standing for a seated ticket I’ve been standing for 6 nights now my legs are screaming (I don’t actually know if it’s possible to swap tickets but asking just incase)😭😭

[shut trail]

Hey hey, we’re not dead

[deft sedge]

😭

[hidden cedar]

So we're still allowed to queue in the morning for wristbands? Just not "hours before" like not from 2am?

[spare wren]

id assume so

i wouldn't recommend queueing from early anyway as manchester is unfortunately quite dangerous at night :((

id say 4am at the EARLIEST, 5/6am if possible

the later the better because the lighter it will be and the more people that will be walking past

[hidden cedar]

I'm planning on getting there at 7am so

Thank you for the help

[red mulch]

is it just the one ticket?

[formal nest]

Yeah

[red mulch]

okay 🙃

[strange sail]

i magically have nitro on my account now

...

[radiant latch]

[jagged ermine]

[timid shore]

for the lore..(literally)

[spare wren]

im gonna get black body paint tomorrow

[timid shore]

and for the plot..(also literally)

[spare wren]

[timid shore]

i’ve got no idea but i’m going to roam around the range to try to find something

[radiant latch]

[spare wren]

[radiant latch]

[spare wren]

i literally missed the cut off by 2 minutes earlier i was fumiinnggggg

[radiant latch]

i literally went into superdrug today but didn’t see any body paint but i wasn’t actively searching for any so i probably missed it

[reef sundial]

you should be able to get some from afflecks :)

[radiant latch]

it’s worth a look

[spare wren]

i dont work in town and im in work all day tomorrow 💔

[reef sundial]

ahhhh </3

[radiant latch]

try superdrug

[strange sail]

[woeful valve]

Superdrug apparently do face paint so I would say that’s the same

Idk if they have it in the stores but they have a variety of colours so maybe?

[strange sail]

[hidden cedar]

We got ours from a drag shop

If you have any in your town lmao

[red mulch]

no i had a look in there a s they didnt have it

[woeful valve]

Thank you everyone 😅❤️

[woeful valve]

That was tedious 😂😂

[strange sail]

oh

[woeful valve]

Second hand is being done the same I think, she didn’t have enough colours to do banditos on one hand

[woeful valve]

Just the fine lines and layers because the colours were very similar and I’m a man with little patience 😂😂

[strange sail]

[cold harness]

[tired kiln]

[cold harness]

[grizzled turret]

[strange sail]

google maps 😭

[magic heart]

that's crazyyyy

[cold harness]

we are both shite at using google maps to get places, like u would not believe how many times we've gotten lost

[strange sail]

fair

[red mulch]

did you ask about where the merch would be

[cold harness]

[grizzled turret]

what people don’t realize is that no lines are official before doors are open so it don’t matter how long u camp or are in line people will still get through other entrances or other lines

[tired kiln]

currently sorting uno cards

[strange sail]

guys the merch stands won't be inside or outside they will actually be clipping through the walls

[tired kiln]

they lined the atoms up perfectly

[cold harness]

[grizzled turret]

they said only inside during the hmv and then all around the concourse when general admission starts

[strange sail]

Let's gooo

[red mulch]

ahhh thank you

[tired kiln]

[strange sail]

[wide cloak]

pretty

[red mulch]

the gold flakes are so nice

[vital gyro]

So cuteeee

I did a trail run of my fit and I love it smm

[woeful valve]

Tyty, the end plan is to be good enough that when I want to propose to her she doesn’t go to a nail tech for a hol I just do them myself and she will never know because I’ve been practising every holiday

[vital gyro]

Only downside is that I'm gonna be sweating my TITS off

[woeful valve]

Pic?

[vital gyro]

[red mulch]

OMG

HELLOOOO

thats adorable

[woeful valve]

I have a plan

[red mulch]

so real i have a denim jacket i taped but bro

[woeful valve]

🔥🔥🔥

[red mulch]

i want to hear everything

im so invested

[woeful valve]

So you understand what a promise ring is right?

[red mulch]

yes

[vital gyro]

Imma be taking it for the sole purpose of it'll be cold once we get outt

[woeful valve]

Like you can only give it to one person and it’s a promise that one day you’ll propose to them so it essentially buys the proposer time to get a proper ring

[vital gyro]

Thanksss!!!

[red mulch]

yeah

[red mulch]

samee

[woeful valve]

Well I have been doing her nails for a few holidays so I’m getting better I guess, I started doing them when her friend said “if you ever want to propose let us know and we will go get her nails done so the ring pictures look nice”

Thing is they never go out and get nails done

So it would stand out

So I started doing them myself

[red mulch]

thats so cute!!

[woeful valve]

And the plan is one day I want to do her nails, and when we go abroad get down on one knee with a promise ring

[red mulch]

AWWW

[woeful valve]

Then like an hour later catch her off guard with a real one

[red mulch]

thats literally so cute

i wish you so much luck!!

[woeful valve]

I would’ve loved to have done it during “my blood” as that song means a lot to me but funds are not funding in Britain 😂😂

[woeful valve]

Ty

[red mulch]

LMAO

[woeful valve]

So my secondary plan is Lapland at the end of the year

[vital gyro]

Ngl I am getting a tad bit more nervous now likeee

[woeful valve]

Under the northern lights

[woeful valve]

Why haha

[red mulch]

THATS SO CUTE

[vital gyro]

Because it's the first concert I've been to on my own plus I'm scared about timings and stufff

[red mulch]

[wide cloak]

[vital gyro]

Altho i do know I'll love it once I'm there, bringing both my headphones and ear defenders with LOADS of sensory bits and bobs because ya girls ✨️ neurospicy ✨️

[red mulch]

oh thats good you dont have to worry about queue’s just get there for the doors opening thats what im doing so i can buy merch beforehand

[vital gyro]

Altho I'm going to the fpe and I've gotta set off early to get to Manchesterr

[red mulch]

ohhh

[vital gyro]

Ooooo

Im determined to try and get merch

[red mulch]

me too

[wide cloak]

does anyone know what the wristband situation is? im really really sorry to be asking again but im honestly just so anxious about the whole situation, nothings following the plan i made in my head 😅

[red mulch]

i think since they arent allowing people to line up hours beforehand just get there early and wait around, wait until you see people queuing and join them! theyll still do wristbands probably

[vital gyro]

Gonna make sure I'm gonna wash everything tomorrow and charge my power bank ectt

[wide cloak]

i was initially planning on getting there at 6/7am if wristbands were going to be done at 8, is that overkill considering they aren't allowing people to queue early?

[red mulch]

theres no harm in getting there early, keep an eye on ao arenas websites and facebook pages and stuff im sure theyll post more about it

[vital gyro]

Don't know if that helps at all

Also back onto merch its actually not badly priced icl to say they're touringg

[wide cloak]

that's what's caused my confusion lol. its messed with what my initial plan was because it says no number or wristband systems are going to be in place but they've happened for other shows

[red mulch]

im not sure but im sure theres no harm arriving early theres plenty to do in Manchester while your waiting

[wide cloak]

yeah true, thank you

[vital gyro]

I've also gotta think about food and shit while I'm out in Manny

[grizzled turret]

i think it’s mostly letting people know that u can do the numbered wristbands and stuff but since they’re not official arena queuing it won’t be taken into any kind of official consideration and if people were to cut in the line or anything then it won’t matter because it’s all just done by customers and not the venue

[woeful valve]

You’ll be okay dw your with clikkies your not alone

[woeful valve]

Where about are you travelling from?

If you dm me asking

[vital gyro]

[red mulch]

whats the size limit?

[strange sail]

"All bags larger than 30cm wide x 40cm long x 20cm deep (approx. A3 sized) are strictly prohibited"

[keen bloom]

hide it in my docs

[red mulch]

thank you

unless my docs get banned again

[red mulch]

TOMORROW TOMORROW TONORROW

[cold harness]

[night grotto]

My sister got stopped for a small lounge flyer size bag so I would go small as possible

This was at 1975 couple years ago

[keen bloom]

i got my trusty go to concert bag that barely scrapes the size limit by like 2cm 😭😭 it’s worked fine the past couple concerts just hoping the security aren’t too strict

[grizzled turret]

all tote bags and hand bags are fine regardless of size. it’s only backpacks that can’t be too big

this is good backpack size

this is too big

[keen bloom]

totes are unfortunately banned no matter the size

[tired kiln]

WHAT

[tired kiln]

WHAT

IM CONFUSED

could this possibly squeeze in i’m bringing my bracelets in this

[grizzled turret]

um i work there and totes are definitely allowed

[grizzled turret]

don’t worry this will be allowed in

[tired kiln]

YAY

[grizzled turret]

[wide cloak]

do you think the tote from the listening parties will be allowed. its pushing it a bit, 35 cm by 38 cm :/

[grizzled turret]

i’ve literally seen people being in huge handbags i think you’ll be good

[wide cloak]

okay bet, tyty

[grizzled turret]

npnp also if anything there’s a snooker hall near trinity tunnel that lets you store bags for a few pounds

and we always tell people that need to store stuff to go there it’s very reliable

[keen bloom]

they must just fucking hate me because i’ve literally had the smallest square tote confiscated

ANDDDD denied entry from wearing docs

pantaloon phobic

[grizzled turret]

what the fuck

what show was it

[keen bloom]

the docs were back in 2022

i’ve bought a couple of small totes in my years and all of them have been confiscated

[grizzled turret]

i have never once heard of someone’s being denied for docs??

people literally come in wearing docs, bunch of chains, tote bags

[keen bloom]

i think it was just an odd new security guy taking the job too seriously

been to that arena for gigs loadssss of times before & after that incident, never saw him before that and never once saw him again after that

i’ve been wearing docs & platforms loads of times afterwards though and everything was fine

literally going tomorrow wearing leather boots with metal spikes on them (worn them before, nothings happened)

[grizzled turret]

ahh i see i see

[summer sinew]

Jeez I’m up late but what the hell is going on with the wristband situation?

I was gonna try get there for like 6:30/7

Is this now pointless?

[jagged ermine]

idek. also my tote bag is a3 size. am i cooked?🧍🏻‍♀️

[stark dove]

Dunno what to do abt this

[deft sedge]

TOMORROW WTFFF

[stark dove]

Yep

The queueing situation is rly annoying

[deft sedge]

y

[vital gyro]

AAAAAAAAAAA

[wide cloak]

i think the majority of people that wanted a wristband are still going to turn up at about 6/7am just to see what's happening. i'd say just go with what you were planning on doing initially

[jagged ermine]

i have like 60 emails from ticketmaster

[tired kiln]

LOL i don’t have any emails

only 1

[stark dove]

OK thx

We were going there around the same time anyway

[jagged ermine]

i have too many mannnnn

[tired kiln]

danggg

[uncut marsh]

Do you guys have any idea where to queue for the wristbands? My ticket says entrance t or so

[jagged ermine]

all of them r top

[tired kiln]

LMFAOOOO

[jagged ermine]

like pls

[tired kiln]

damn

i’m so hungry

[jagged ermine]

i could eat tyler joseph

i’m entrance T too

is that for pit ppl? idk

[uncut marsh]

Yes it is, was wondering if we queue there for the wristband too

[deft sedge]

AHHH IM SO EXCITEDDDD

[tired kiln]

i love waking up to this girl

[jagged ermine]

[stark dove]

What are the instructions for mobile entry?

[deft sedge]

wdym

[deft sedge]

cuteee

[tired kiln]

yeah wdym 😭

[stark dove]

I haven't gotten that email and it seems important

[deft sedge]

i haven’t gotten it either

[vital gyro]

AWWWWW

That's all I got yesterday

[tired kiln]

ohhhh

[deft sedge]

why are people organising lines on twitter 😔 people really do just ignore anything they’re told

hopefully they get moved on

[tired kiln]

RIGHT

[stark dove]

Bcs there's no linibg when do u think u should be there?

Why do concerts have to be so confusing

[red mulch]

literally 😭

[stark dove]

It's also not nice their emailing the day before the show

So ppl with plans can't change

At least like a week or 3 in advance

[red mulch]

no literally i only got an email that my seats were restricted view last week

😭😭

[dire scroll]

Reminder I am selling one pit ticket and want to trade another 2 for seats DM me if interested

[summer sinew]

Ok so this is what I’m really hoping this means. “Can’t guarantee barrier” because there is an early arrival wristband. And “no OTHER number and/or wristbands will be upheld” hopefully could mean any self made lines that is not made by TØP staff will be ignored?

This is what I’m hoping the email could mean anyway

[stark dove]

Yeah

[dire scroll]

The arena has multiple entrances which complicates things too

[stark dove]

Yeah

My friend sent me the map

[summer sinew]

But I’m pretty sure every pit ticket is entrance T

[stark dove]

Which is kinda scuffed

[dire scroll]

I miss turning up in 2019 for bandito tour queueing for one hour and getting 4 rows off barrier

[dire scroll]

It was H when I last went

[summer sinew]

Are you pit tomorrow?

[dire scroll]

I have pit tickets but

I’m trying to trade for seats because I’m recovering from a tooth infection

[summer sinew]

Ah

What does the entrance letter say if you don’t mind?

[stark dove]

Fckin terrible

[dire scroll]

Lemme check

Where would it be

[summer sinew]

On yeh ticket

[dire scroll]

Email or TM app

[stark dove]

AO Arena website should be

[dire scroll]

Says T in the app

[stark dove]

I think that's for everyone

It would get hard to track ppl if there were multiple entrances

[dire scroll]

Yeah

[summer sinew]

Agreed. This might be an annoying situation we are in but they are not that stupid

[stark dove]

It's got to be orderly

[uncut marsh]

All this orga stuff makes me so nervous 😅

[stark dove]

Me too

I'm on a train

I'm staying at a hotel in manny

[dire scroll]

As much as I’ll miss pit

[stark dove]

To make it easier

[dire scroll]

I’m not gonna miss the chaos of getting good placement

[uncut marsh]

Also on a train 😄 on my way to the airport

[summer sinew]

I live in Manchester so I can check out what it looks like around 10/11pm tonight if it will help anyone

[stark dove]

I'll be there around 11

[summer sinew]

I could try ask staff as well

[stark dove]

Am

[uncut marsh]

I will also have a look tonight 😊

[dire scroll]

The awkward moment where TOP early queuers get mistaken for homeless people 💀

[stark dove]

I'll have 4 hours b4 I can check into the hotel so I'll look around

And try ask staff in there what's going on

[summer sinew]

Niceone

[stark dove]

Probably get directed to the nearest food bank

Especially with the state of some peoples outfits 😭

[stark dove]

The more times I read the email, the more that this take seems likely

[uncut marsh]

Iam glad he looks so much better, hope he is recovered

[deft sedge]

he is definitely looking much better

and the vocals are still gorgeous

[vital gyro]

I've sorted my bag issue out folks panic overrr

Drawstring bagg

[dire scroll]

Wait was Tyler sick?

[deft sedge]

he was a few shows ago

he was on vocal rest for a few days

[stark dove]

He needs a break

[dire scroll]

Oh damn

[deft sedge]

they'll definitely get some rest after the tour

well deserved

[stark dove]

I would happily wait another month if it meant his vocals were on point

[deft sedge]

he's definitely better now lol

[uncut marsh]

Even sick he sounded 100 times better than other singers 😄 he didnt scream that often, understandably. But he put on an awesome show nonetheless

[stark dove]

Indeed

[vital gyro]

Idk if it's because I'm seated or what but those are the doors to get in. Dunno if it's the same for you pit goers or not

[stark dove]

Doors are 6 for me too

[deft sedge]

doors are also 6pm for me yea

[stark dove]

But C and h

Everyone else is saying t

Prob bcs seated

[uncut marsh]

Yep 6, T for me (pit)

[stark dove]

I need to check mine

Where do u go?

To see those

Okay

Checked

T for me

And I'm GA

[grizzled turret]

T = trinity tunnel (which is the ideal entrance for floor)*
C/H = city rooms/hunts bank (this is mostly for seated tickets) (these entrances are outside victoria station or in the station)
*All entrances can be used to get down to the floor because once you’re inside it’s all the same,, the only reason they tell people different entrances for floor or seated is for security to keep track of who is where.

[stark dove]

Okay

Your a legend thank you

[grizzled turret]

npnp just wanna help clear stuff up :)

[vital gyro]

Thanksss

[grizzled turret]

the lining for wrist bands will be OUTSIDE trinity tunnel, if anyone is planning on camping inside or lining up inside near the doors,,don’t bother lol they will move you once they start setting up the search and ticket checking points. there is an entrance through the arena car park aswell but there won’t be any queuing allowed in there

[stark dove]

Omg

Where do you get this info

Are u there alrdy?

[grizzled turret]

basically at the ao arena there is never any official queuing because there are multiple entrances that all lead to the floor so any wristband numbers might not be upheld because well people could get to the floor from any side of the arena

[grizzled turret]

i work as security at the arena lmao

[stark dove]

Wait whatt😭

[uncut marsh]

Thats the case in almost every arena(multiple entrances), in other cities they let the wristband people in first

[grizzled turret]

i will add i am only a steward so the information i have is limited but from what ive spoken to with supervisors for this show and seen at other high volume shows like kpop ones where people queue days before… this is the case

[grizzled turret]

yea ao doesn’t really care about the wristband system unless you are early entry or backstage through the arena’s wristband system… very unfortunate

[uncut marsh]

So best strategy is then what, come at 8 and standing there the whole day?? I mean that cant be it

[grizzled turret]

i think the best thing is to just show up early if you want to be there for the video or meeting people and stuff but other than that personally doesn’t make any sense to be there outside the whole day just for people to get in from a different entrance and be at the front before u

like,, i’ll be there maybe half an hour before doors open

[fleet cape]

Me 2

I can’t wait for hotel breakfast fr

[grizzled turret]

and if you’re in fpe then yeah come early for it and just stay till doors open

[uncut marsh]

thats gonna be very interesting 😅

[grizzled turret]

yea it’s always a shit show cause people get mad that people without wristbands are there at the barrier aswell but the arena can’t physically manage that with the amount of people getting in

[tidal furnace]

I'm going fpe ✌🏻✌🏻

[stark dove]

Fancy seeing you herr

Here

[tidal furnace]

Ummmm who are you defo random person who I don't know at all.... 100%

[uncut marsh]

Lets gooo 🎉

[deft sedge]

woohooo

[pseudo pasture]

do you still have one pit for sale?

i’ve got a friend who’s interested

[summer sinew]

I think I’m still going to rock up at like 6:30/7am to see what’s going on

[terse drift]

I want to get there as early as possible as well, will wristbands seriously not be respected?

[summer sinew]

I think they might be to an extent

I personally just want a wristband because it’s my first show and it looks cool

[terse drift]

i’m determined to be near the front lol i saw them once before in 2019 from the back of the arena so I’m hoping to get way closer this time

[terse drift]

i’m gonna be checking it out as well 👍

[vagrant thistle]

im pretty confident they will be, venues have found ways every show ive seen so far even when there is multiple entries

[pseudo pasture]

although at birmingham the other entry/s were opened at the same time as the wristbands so i’d just be aware that might happen

[stark dove]

I'm at h entrance

Just walking around the building

[summer sinew]

I get that but all pit tickets are entrance T I’m pretty sure

So they may not allow our people to enter in other places

Pit people*

[red mulch]

im pretty sure all entrances can get you to the pit or atleast most of them

[terse drift]

hopefully but i’m not sure it’s going to work out like that

[dire scroll]

Yeah I’ll dm you

[hidden cedar]

Fellow hedgehog fan fellow 2019 bandito tour back top seats goer fellow pit goer in 2025 with the intention of being frontish wow hello ellen

[hidden cedar]

Yea but I heard trinity tunnel is a lot closer to pit and the other entrances u kinda have to walk up and around

[summer sinew]

All problems aside, is 6:30am a good time to get there to guarantee a wristband?

[chrome karma]

Is the venue honouring the official wristband system at 8am? I’ve heard people say no and some say yes

[terse drift]

whaaaat hello!!

[terse drift]

where are we supposed to wait btw won’t the venue kick us away

[summer sinew]

I’m pretty sure there will be wristbands

[summer sinew]

The person who works there said in this chat wait outside the tunnel not inside

[terse drift]

alrighty hopefully i’ll see you there 🙂

[grizzled turret]

yes yes

i think they will honour the wristbands to some extent but they won’t stop people who don’t have one from entering before people with wristbands yknow

[grizzled turret]

all of them get you to the floor once you’re inside it’s all connected

[tired kiln]

[grizzled turret]

but yes trinity tunnel is the closest and the entrance preferably to use for standing

[summer sinew]

Will they let pit people in other entrances even tho the ticket says entrance T?

[grizzled turret]

yep they will let u in through any entrance regardless of what it says on your ticket

[red mulch]

is that the same for seated?

[grizzled turret]

they don’t wanna send people walking around the entire arena there’s no point

[grizzled turret]

yep

if you’re seated you can enter through any

[summer sinew]

But it’s better to go through tunnel entrance anyway right?

[red mulch]

thank you

[grizzled turret]

yea it’s the quickest to the floor

[summer sinew]

Niceone thank you!

[grizzled turret]

no worries :)

[pseudo pasture]

it says on their website there’s accessible lanes at each entrance is that true? i’ve never been there before

[grizzled turret]

yeah there will be

are you seated or standing?

[pseudo pasture]

i’m standing 😔

wouldn’t usually but i want the experience

[grizzled turret]

i’m pretty sure there’s an accessible platform on the floor but i’m not certain

but yea there’s a lift to the floor

[woeful valve]

Are we excited yet?

[grizzled turret]

been exciteddd

[red mulch]

i’m so excited

[terse drift]

dying of excitement

and anxiety about the queue lol
