Springsteen Concert Announces Wristband Procedure
Random Lottery Will Be Used To Assign Wristbands
Omaha, NE – General Admission procedures have been set for Bruce Springsteen’s highly anticipated, sold out concert on March 14th. It is important that all General Admission ticket holders are familiar with these procedures before the concert. The Arena floor is all General Admission. The floor is standing room only; no seats will be provided. The space will be divided into two areas, the pit in front of the stage and the remaining floor. Anyone with a General Admission ticket will be given a wristband for the floor at any point and may access the floor at anytime. Guests who would like to stand in the pit area will need to participate in the lottery for a pit wristband. Numbered wristbands assigned by a random lottery will be used to form the line for the pit area. Pit wristbands will be assigned as follows:
· The day of the show, numbered wristbands will be distributed at the venue starting at 2 PM. Wristbands will be distributed until 5 PM.
· No wristbands will be distributed after 5 PM.
· Guests must come in person with their General Admission ticket to receive a wristband. Each person may receive only one wristband.
· A number will be drawn randomly by a fan at 5:15 PM. The person holding that number will be the first person in line. The line will be formed at 5:30 PM.
· The line will begin with the winning lottery number, followed by the next higher number. The line will continue to form, with the person holding the number before the winning lottery number taking the last place in line. For example, if there are 8 people, each has a number between 1 and 8. A guest draws 5 as the lottery number. The person holding 5 goes to the front of the line, then 6, 7, 8. After 8, 1 lines up, followed by 2, 3 and 4.
· A wristband guarantees a place in line; it does not guarantee a place in the pit.
Please know that no wristbands will be issued at the General Admission Pit Entrance on the floor within the venue. Be advised that no patron, fan or club run list will be honored by tour personnel, security or building personnel. The General Admission procedures will be implemented and supervised by touring personnel.
