I haven't been to a Celebration since CI in Denver and I have a few logistical questions about how things work at the ReedPOP events, like Celbrations V and VI and the others they do.
1. We know the arena will be the main stage, and that the arena can hold up to like anywhere from 7,500-8,500 people depending on how it is configured-- do we know if there going to be a digital stage for overflow that doesn't fit into the main stage area?
2. Does ReedPOP use wristbands for lines, and if so, how does that work?* Say, you line up at midnight for the opening Abrams/Kennedy event, do they give you a seat number at like 3am so you can go back and sleep, or is it more likely that you wait in line all night outside, and then they give you a wristband and let you into the building and then while you are going to the bathroom everyone else that was in line behind you gets in another line inside the the building to line up for the main stage?
3. Have the CV and CVI and other ReedPOP events been "once-you-are-in, you are in" events for the venue?* In other words, I wait in line for several hours just to get into the Convention Center, then I step outside to eat in the Hilton food court, and then do I have to wait several more hours to get back inside the convention center?* ANd have the other big stage events in the past couple of Celebrations been*"once-you-are-in, you are in" halls?* In other words, I line up at Midnight for the*Abrams/Kennedy Arena event, but then I go to the bathroom right before it starts, can I get back to my seat?
4. Were there any Celebrations in the past where you could just walk right up and walk in without waiting for hours in line? *and, if so, what years were those (so I can compare the venue capacity to Anaheim's stats shown at*
