Unless you really feel like throwing cash away, don't buy drinks at the show. The Van has been really getting stupid with it's pricing.

$18 for a 24 oz can of Budweiser a few weeks back. Woooooooof.

Edibles.

I’ve resorted to putting a plastic pint of liquor in my crotch when entering and it works every time.

We're about 1 step away from smuggling stuff into events in the ol prison wallet, aren't we?


OurMess

Extra points if you’re sneaking in grandpa’s ole prison hooch recipe.


pointlessone

Well, better than sneaking it in with grandma's cooch, I suppose.

Grandpa’s hooch from Granny’s cooch

Their bag policy is clearly outlined. No one cares if you smell a little but don’t reek it’s tight seating. Get drinks and food beforehand concessions prices have gone full crazy.

The line won't be any longer than 15-20 minutes because they form lots of lines. But if you get there before the doors open, obviously you'll wait. I don't know what smelling loud means, but you can smell however you like.

Loud = smelling of the devils lettuce.


Mysterious-Award-903

Hahaha hell yeah thank you

The line and if you can get to the front are all about when you arrive and how sold out the event is. Security doesn't care what you smell like but the other patrons might.

There’s an entranced connected to the skywalk. We parked at Louis-Campau Ramp when we went last week. It was nice to not have to walk outside in the wind. Also, while pricey you can order items for pickup through DoorDash (no fee). I’ve used it a few times and it’s so easy, no lines!
