A Little Warped Tour Need To Know


 

Okay folks so the first Warped Tour date is set to kick off soon (June 1st) . Specifically their kick off party happens on April 7th in Los Angeles, CA! Congrats to whoever attends that one, it's going to be awesome! F.Y.I. there will be a Warped Kick Off Party Live premiering on April 7th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Catch Metro Station, New Bet Fund, New Years Day, Candy Hearts, Rotting Out, As It Is and a special surprise guest live starting at 6:30PM PST / 9:30 PM EST. Okay if you've never gone you really should especially if some of your favorite bands are going to be playing. Be sure to make a plan of attack because there are sooo many bands and soo little time to see them all because sometimes a couple of your bands will be playing at the same time since there is more than one stage. (The schedule of the band's set times are not set until the morning of the show so Remember to Get to the Show Early and head to the big inflatable at the main Vans tent where the schedule will be listed). My first year going to Warped Tour we left like at 7am and when we got to the location it was packed beyond belief. It was worth going though, I will definitely recommend get there early.(Doors for Warped generally open at 11:00am and the show closes down by 9:00pm.)The second time I went I got the night before off of work and we rented a hotel twenty minutes away from the venue. Then we left at about 7am but managed to get there before they opened and were super close to the entrance doors when they opened this time. My sister brought an umbrella and then had to do all this signing and turning it in for safety reasons and I would just recommend please don't bring an umbrella. It's always a good idea to bring a small, lightweight backpack, sunscreen, a small homemade snack, one sealed bottle of water, camera, sharpie for autographs and writing set times, fully charged cell phone, comfortable sneakers, hat. Oh and if you missed last year's performances you can catch them on the website, http://vanswarpedtour.com/, they have a live web cast videos of performances from last year's bands. Also keep in mind that the lineup for the Warped Tour varies per each stop. Check your local date page to see what bands are playing at your show. You can get your tickets at Ticketmaster shows are available in person at Ticketmaster outlets at over 3200 Walmart locations as well as select Simon malls, Kroger's, Giant Eagle's and other retail location. if you're having your tickets mailed to you, they are usually mailed out 3 to 6 weeks before your tour stop but they can be delivered up to one week before your show. It varies by market and for specific questions on your order, contact the customer service department for your show’s ticketing company. Be sure to have your order number and details ahead of your email/call. If the ticket order pertains to mail to home tickets purchased during the pre-sale, contact Flavorus customer support, email help@flavorus.com or call It's important to stay alert and not pass out at Warped Tour. There are several ways to do so thanks to the wonderful staff that hosts Warp Tour. There are:
Warped Tour Cool Gear Hydration Stations: Warped will be providing free filtered water at the Cool Gear Water hydration systems at each Vans Warped Tour stop this summer. Fans can fill up empty water bottles, soda cups or purchase a reusable water bottle all of which can be filled up as much as needed throughout the day. Note that fans are allowed to bring in one sealed water bottle when they enter the show and that can be continuously filled up at the station. Look for the "WATER" banner in the festival grounds for the filtration stations.
Low Priced Water: The Warped Tour also noticed a need for lower-priced water at the shows, so we worked with venues and promoters to create a lower water price per bottle at all Warped shows this summer.
Shade Areas Throughout The Venues And Remember To Pace Yourself Through The Day: Look for designated shade tents throughout the venue. As for amphitheater shows, that roof makes a nice cover from the sun. It's also a long day so pace yourself and take a break from time to time.
Misting Stations: Who can turn down some cool mist during a hot day? Look for misting stations throughout the festival grounds.
Slip and Slide: Even better than a misting station is the slip and slide!! Weather permitting look for the slip and slide on the festival grounds. Jump in, get wet, and have fun!

**Coming Soon:The next round of bands announced is happening this Wednesday! The list is getting longer for bands that have already been announced and with that I'm seriously hoping PTV is on the list. All I can do until then is cross my fingers.**
