No one I knew has a VIP 1iota ticket. So maybe it's for people who work for the press and stuff. And anyone on their guest list. That kind of stuff. So probably we (the non VIPS) who are getting there early may get barrier if it's long enough or if anything we may get to the second row. Because it says ushered to the front not in a separate/closed off section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'll look at the pluses: - It's beautiful weather so waiting outside won't be a huge pain/uncomfortable/get me sick - I'll get to see lots of friends - It's a free show - If I'm not in the front, I'll finally be able to appreciate the sound. Usually all I can hear up front is kick drum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this may be their only show in NYC until either a possible winter tour and if not that, probably not until the next album (unless they plan on doing secret shows) And yes, there is the summer tour but for someone who lives very close to NYC and who doesn't drive, the nearest venue on the summer tour is about a 2/2.5 hour car ride or about 4 hours via random transit stations (and I would have loved to go had the VIP not be 400 dollars all for my subway sandwich and picnic blanket or basket or w/e) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get pit if I didn't wanna spend $450 for VIP, so I bought a $25 lawn ticket off Groupon. I ended up getting pit to Chicago, and the flight and ticket were cheaper than the VIP ticket so I figured I might as well go see them in a new city. so weird that the ticket says "does not guarantee entrance into our VIP section", rather than saying it flat out will not get you in it. Just doesn't guarantee it. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really unsure what VIP means. If it means the Idiot Nation winners or if it means the GMA ticket group that is on 1iota's tickets. thanks for information. Wish I could go..but living in West Coast is a nightmare And why only 2 performance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unextraordinarygirl Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 They're playing for half an hour and only playing 2 or 3 songs? That hardly seems worth going, but I'll still watch it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least camping out won't be unpleasant and it will be perfect concert weather. Should be a fun morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I really want to watch this event live (my girlfriend will be there), but being in Australia it's going to be nonexistent on TV at that time of evening. Does anyone know if there is a way to stream it online and if so may I please have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Seems like they're going to have some kind of background / backdrop with a Rev Rad era style ''Green Day'' logo, similar to the one they used on tour. Definitely an improvement over the bland yellow background in 2009. How cool would it be if they had pyro as well... Unlikely though, as they didn't have any in 2009 (and their tour production otherwise throughout that tour was pyro galore) and it's probably not permitted or safe on that stage... Although, does someone know what these black long metal rods at the front of the stage are (on the second picture of that Instagram post)? EDIT: Just found out looking at concert footage from 2016, probably lights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Is someone here going to record this and then upload it on YouTube? I would, but: 1. I can't get the stream to work. 2.

Mar Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I wonder if they're going to do a Soundgarden/Chris song at least for the Central Park audience if not the at-home audience. They weren't really part of the same scene, but there was some crossover with fanbases, especially when both bands hit it big. I know you can't discount the allure of a free show on a nice day heading into a weekend, but I'm still impressed by the crowd already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 For anyone curious, yes the VIP section is barricaded off. I'm on the first row of the non-VIP barrier in front of Jason. Look for me on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromTondutotheMiddle East Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looking forward to seeing some videos from GMA later today! 2009 was the first time I saw Green Day whilst we were on holiday in NYC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
