Top Things to Know Before You Attend TheSoundsTour This Year

Once again, TheSoundsTour is likely to break attendance records with fans from all over the globe traveling to experience the phenomenal talent on the roster, supported by an incredible production, in a multitude of venues across the country. As a first-timer or a long-time ticket holder, you want to make the most out of your experience.

This guide is designed to help you with everything from the basics of safe travel when purchasing your tickets to venue regulations, to how best to travel to the venue, and finally, how to make the most of the concert experience with proper concert behavior in mind.

1. Look at the Official Tour Schedule, and Confirm your Date

Tour schedules can and do change at a moment’s notice.

Before you make any major travel plans, check the following:

  • The Official TheSoundsTour website
  • Their Verified Social Media pages
  • Email Confirmation for your Tickets

Parameters to check:

  • Date and time
  • Venue location
  • Gate Entry Points
  • Calendars for Changes

Many fans skip this step and rush to the wrong gate or confuse the times for opening the venue. This can help you avoid a lot of the stress that comes along with the event, by taking just an additional five minutes.

2. Only Purchase Tickets On Verified Platforms

The Sounds Tour is increasingly targeted by scammers. There have been reports of fake tickets, duplicates, and phishing attempts. To defend against such attempts, you should

1. Only buy from the main website.

2. Limit your purchases to official ticketing partners

3. Steer clear of random resellers and social media sellers

4. Read through any reviews on websites where you are doubtful.

5. If purchasing from an online ticket reseller, ensure they are a recognized reseller with some form of purchase protection, such as refund eligibility when things go wrong.

3. Arrive A Lot Earlier Than You Think You Need To

Large music events can mean long lines, and to avoid missing opening performances, you’ll want to arrive on the earlier side.

Arriving early can mean:

– Speedy security screening

– Good standing view at the front

– No crowded, panicked, rushing

– More time to look at the merchandise

– Easy access to food and drinks

For hotly anticipated stops on the tour, some fans arrive as much as three hours in advance to snag a good spot.

4. Get Familiar with the Venue Guidelines to Avoid Any Surprises

Each venue has its own set of policies. For example, some items may be permitted in one venue, but prohibited in another. Make sure you review the venue guidelines before you pack your bag.

Items that are commonly prohibited include:

  • Large backpacks
  • Professional cameras
  • Outside food and drink
  • Sharp objects
  • Aerosol sprays
  • Power banks that exceed a certain limit

You may also have to adhere to the following:

  • Bag dimensions
  • Clear/pouch bags only
  • Medical items (with prior notice)
  • Accessibility assistance

By learning the policies in advance, you will save time at the entrance without having to dispose of your items.

5. Eat and Stay Hydrated Before You Get Inside the Venue

Depending on the lineup, concerts can run anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. And once you factor in the waiting time, you are likely to be at the venue sans a complete meal for about 5-6 hours. The food lines also tend to be very long, particularly during intermissions.

To prepare, you should:

  • Eat a complete meal before you arrive at the venue
  • Ensure that you drink water throughout the day
  • If allowed, bring a sealed water bottle
  • Stay away from heavy meals that may create discomfort

To avoid headaches, fatigue, and dizziness, stay hydrated to ensure that you have enough energy to sustain you throughout the event.

6. Comfort is Priority

Undoubtedly, people are bound to look their best at TheSoundsTour, but comfort is most important. Expect to be standing, moving, and dancing for many hours at a time.

To be comfortable:

* Wear breathable clothes

* Wear supportive shoes or sneakers

* For outdoor concerts, a light jacket is advised

* Definitely do not wear heels, unless you are very confident in them

* If it is a daytime concert that is outdoors, remember to apply sunscreen

You will be able to enjoy the music without any distractions, as you will be comfortable.

7. Devices Need to be Charged Before You Go

It is important to have a fully charged phone, as you will need it for many things, like:

* Your ticket is likely digital

* You may need to navigate your way around

* You are likely to take lots of photos and videos.

* You may need to contact friends or a rideshare

Most venues allow very small power banks, but they are typically restricted. For security purposes, charge everything beforehand.

8. Know Your Route and Transport Options

Not planning your route ahead of time is a common cause of major delays. Consider checking:

* Parking availability

* Distance to the venue

* Public transport routes

* Rideshare pickup zones

* Traffic closure alerts

* Peak traffic hours

In big cities, public transport is normally the best and most time-efficient option. If you are driving, make sure to leave early enough to avoid large traffic and to get to your parking spot quickly.

9. Look After Your Belongings in Packed Places

Concerts bring in lots of people, and that means pickpockets could be in the crowd.

Keep yourself safe:

  • Carry a small crossbody bag.
  • Don’t keep valuables in your pockets.
  • Always keep your phone in a safe place.
  • Stick to bringing what you actually need.
  • Use zippered pouches instead of open ones.

You can avoid unnecessary risk by simply being aware of your surroundings.

10. Be Mindful of Other Concert Goers

Everyone has a part to play when it comes to creating a positive and fun concert environment, so be sure to keep things in a good state by:

  • Avoid pushing and blocking people’s views.
  • Not shouting in other people’s ears.
  • Queuing when asked to do so.
  • Not recording the show for the whole duration while holding your phone up.
  • Being considerate when you move through the crowd.
  • Small actions can change the whole experience.

11. Enjoy Recording the Moment, but Enjoy Being Present More

While it’s always good to take pictures and record stuff, don’t spend the whole concert doing so. Make sure your experience is good by being present and enjoying the sounds, lights, and energy of the crowd.

Try to find a good equilibrium between recording and enjoying yourself.
