Last Minute Reminders:
Make sure your squad knows the plan for the day and evening: what time you’re leaving, exchange phone numbers, what sets everyone wants to see, a meet up spot for if someone gets lost, etc.
- TICKET AND VALID IDENTIFICATION – Definitely don’t leave the house without these and be careful with third party sellers if you are trying to buy a ticket from an unauthorized seller!
- HYDRATE – If you are like me and enjoy seeing every set make sure to hydrate for the 9 hour dance sesh with your refillable water bottle and bring extras for the ride home!
- CHAPSTICK AND GUM – Because it’s the little things that matter! Don’t kiss your date with gross breath and make sure your lips are ready to rock! Sealed packs ONLY!
- BRING THE GOOD VIBES – After all, it is Valentine’s Day. Spread the love <3 Come in peace or not at all.
