Planning Arrival After The Gates Open 2015

Post by Molotov » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:06 pm

Box office Will Call and PGE Question: If my EA pass permits me to enter after midnight early (like 12:15 AM) on 8/27, can I come down the entrance road and go on to Will Call and pick up my ticket/credential anytime on the 26th (probably late evening) then just hang out in my RV in the Will Call parking area until after midnight and go ahead an enter?

What I saw last year was there were so many EA folks parked at Will Call, there was no parking enforcement once you got to that area. Obviously they don't want thousands of folks camping at Will Call for days before Gate opens to the public, so I don't know how they address that.

I know I cannot try to enter Gate unless I hold a valid EA pass and ticket for that date.

Last year I picked up my EA and credential/ticket after 1 AM of my EA date, went through Gate and Greeters, then idled my way through the dark to the general area of my camp, arriving around 3 AM, went to sleep, and woke up with the sunrise to begin setting up camp and helping with infrastructure. I would like to do the same this year, just get to Gate at the earliest possible time and get to camp a bit sooner.

Upon further review of my 2014 Ticketfly notification, it says "Pick up on or after 8/23" so I guess that means you can't pick it up on the date before then-so my previous question is moot and may be deleted by the Admin. You can only pick it up the ticket on the date you are first allowed to pass through Gate, not the evening of the day before.

However, my intent is still to get to the Will Call lot late in the evening, hang out and eat supper, have a nap, and go to the Will Call window around midnight so as to pick it up on the proper date.
