Tips:
~We arrived at 10:30 after a lot of walking and waiting for the monorail. Arriving around 9:30 would give more time to look around/ grab merch/ take photos with the displays/ before your favorite bands come on.
~Save the band schedule as your lock screen on your phone so you can quickly glance at it without running your battery down too low. Or print a small version to keep in your fanny pack or pocket.
~Use the WWWY app to get reminders of when your favorites are coming on stage, as well as other helpful information.
~Find Facebook groups where you can ask questions or read chats from others. You can find an answer to just about anything there.
~Wearing a matching outfit with my sister-in-law made it so much easier for us to find each other in the crowd. Our guys were much harder to spot!
~We had GA tickets but if I return I will choose VIP. It would be easier to get around with better views, and there were a lot of celebrities hanging out in that area so people watching would have been fun as well.
~Wear good shoes! I bought new Vans with some height to help see in the crowd, and made sure to break them in before-hand. I felt great, but our guys both had major back pain by the end of the night.
~Renting a locker for the four of us was a great way to stash a sweatshirt, beanie, and other items we might need. The 2022 show was reportedly so cold and windy that people left early because of it. Our experience was not that way, but if felt good to be prepared in-case. I believe it also includes phone charger access if needed.
~Cell reception is not great. When we separated we set a meeting spot and time to make sure we could find each other.

Please add your own tips and necessities in the comments below. I'm sure there is a lot more advice to give that can help future festival attendees!!! Thanks for watching!
