Vans Warped Tour?!
Question:
Vans Warped Tour?
I've never been to the Warped Tour before, and am looking into going next year. But, I have some questions about it. Is it an all day event? How do you get into the different concerts? How exactly does it work? Are the tickets expensive? If you could tell me more about the Warped Tour, it would really help. Please don't tell me to go to warpedtour.com, I've already been there and it hasn't done me much good.
Answers: Is it an all day event?
Yes it is.
How do you get into the different concerts?
It depends on where its held. But different stages are set up and you just make your way from stage to stage. It's really simple.
Are the tickets expensive?
Usually 30-40 dollars.
Warped tour is amazing. I went this year for the first time and it was a blast. Its really hot. So if you go, where a tank top and try to stay cool. If you go, buy two water bottles and dont spend anymore money on water, go fill up the water bottles at a water fountain. try to bring some granola bars and eat a good breakfast. the food there is heavy on your stomach and expensive. wear comfortable shoes and bring a backpack to keep cool things like stickers, granola bars and shirts, and money and stuff. its so much fun. you should definitly go!
:]
hope that helps
ps- dont bother to do your hair or put on make up
your make up will sweat offf before the end of thed ay and your hair will definitly get messed up. keep hydrated and have fun!
oh and be aware crowd surfers in a large crowd. look behind you every so often and make sure no ones coming. it hurts really bad to have a crowd surfer thrust upon you and you not know that its there. Basically, it's an all-day event, there's several stages set up, and different bands play on different stages, sometimes at the same time, so it really sucks when 2 bands you like are playing at the same time.
It's a lot of fun, and really really crowded. You can always see who's there for the first time, because the girls usually have their hair really fancy, and they're all dolled-up and stuff. Well, by the end of the day, they're all sweaty, and their makeup's melting all over their faces! So, if you go, be sure to put your hair up in a ponytail, go easy on the makeup, and wear comfortable shoes!
Like I said, there's different bands playing at different times, so when a band you like is playing, you just go. Bring a pen and keep it in your pocket, so you can jot down the times of performances on your hand, because you'll never remember all of them.
When they're not playing, you can sometimes find bands walking around, so it's a good opportunity to meet them. There's also stands that sell band merch, CDs, clothing, etc. They're not really supposed to let you bring in water and food, so eat up beforehand, the food they sell is really expensive. You can probably sneak in some water though. the vans warped tour is an all day event from 11 to about 8 or nine
you have to wait in this huge line and they take you in a little at a time and there are about 6 stages throughout the parking lot of the venue with a **** load of tents everywhere to buy merchendise to food and there are like a bunch of bands that sing on different stages and it lasts for half an hour then another band performs the line up changes all the time at warped tour too
there is gonna be a huge sign in the middle of the venue telling you where the bands are gonna be and what time they'll perform
there will also be a bunch of smoking and cursing and its
the food in there is kind of expensive, and if you bring your own, it has to be in a sealed thing and bring lots of water
random people will come up to you and listen to their music also
and most off all its going to be so freakin' hot and wear comfortable shoes
i went there about a month ago and fainted and had to be taken to the paramedics backstage so wear sunblock!!!!
oh yeah if you want tickets cheap, go buy in the pre-sale its that happens on march or feburary for about 30 cuz of tax, and after that it goes up to 40 or 50 dollars, but its worth it
i don't think any venue will be sold out cuz it can hold thousands upon thousands of people and you will also get a bunch of free stuff so bring something to carry it all!
