Policy for Guests Holding General Admission “GA” Floor Tickets
General Admission ticket holders violating any of the following policies will be removed from the GA line and refused entry into Madison Square Garden.
GA ticket holders may begin lining up at Madison Square Garden no earlier than 8:00 AM on the day of the concert. Guests will line up on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each person in line must be in possession of a valid GA ticket. Madison Square Garden WILL NOT be issuing numbered wristbands for line placement.
The GA line will form outside of the Floor Gate (adjacent to 8 Penn Plaza) located on 33rd Street, near 8th Avenue, wrap along the sidewalk toward 7th Avenue.
The GA line area will be cordoned off with barricades and monitored by Madison Square Garden Security personnel.
A guest who leaves the line will lose their place in line, Madison Square Garden will not be responsible for maintaining a guest's position in line.
Ticket holders will not be permitted to hold a place in line for other guests that will arrive later in the day.
Any disputes in line placement will result in all parties involved being moved to the back of the line.
GA ticket holders will be admitted into the Arena once the doors open (scheduled for 7:00 PM) with priority access given to U2 Fan Club members.
U2 Fan Club members holding GA Tickets will have “Priority Access” into the Arena once the doors open. U2.com Fan Club members will form a separate line parallel to the general GA line. Once in the Arena, Fan Club members will pass through an "ELLIPSE" gate system that will scan their tickets at random and select certain ticket holders for priority access into the Inner Stage Viewing Area.
The remaining GA ticket holders will pass through an “ELLIPSE” gate system that will scan their tickets at random and select ticket holders for priority access into the Inner Stage Viewing Area. The selected ticket holders will be directed to the “ELLIPSE” redemption desk to collect their “ELLIPSE” wristband. Each selected ticket holder will be allowed to bring one GA ticket holder with them into the Inner Stage Viewing Area. GA ticket holders not selected for priority access into the Inner Stage Viewing Area will be directed to the general GA floor area.
Ticket resale or scalping will not be permitted on Madison Square Garden property.
Backpacks, large bags, blankets, lawn chairs, etc. are not permitted inside the Arena and there is no storage for these items inside the Arena. All items must be disposed of in trash receptacles prior to entering.
GA Ticket holders must enter through the Floor Gate, located on 33rd Street near 8th Avenue. GA Ticket holders will not be permitted entry at any other point in the Arena.
