      True...I was basing it off UK. In Chicago they had us a little patio, though the stadium is so big it wasn't an issue.

        The UK shows didn't offer "hospitality" as part of the soundcheck package, so that's why everyone at those shows had to line up in the hallway until it was time to go to the floor.

            5 days to go!!!!!!!!!! Insomnia has set in....I have mild case of OCD, so the details are getting in the way of my sleep. What to bring, what to wear, what time to leave...blah blah blah. Having huge life events like this is a blessing and a curse. I am so happy that I will be fulfilling my bucket list after 52 years of being a Paul fan to do soundcheck and up close seats, but yet fills me with anxiety. Looking forward to meeting my fellow boardies. Think of me when he sings "Lady Madonna".

              There are now more tickets available for Fresno via Ticketmaster. For those of you who didn't get anything early, try, try again!

                      Sounds like it will be a somewhat late sound check. Thinking limo-watch will be around 5? Meeting my cousin for happy hour nearby, not sure yet if I should bail around then or just stay...

                        Regarding Sound Check and Check In, they were VERY specific: if you're late you don't get in no signing of anything so don't bring things to sign no cameras of professional grade, no cell phone use during sound check they reserve the right to confiscate stuff and give it back later I quoted a car from Giroy to Fresno and back with the time gap in between and it cost $1,200 not including gratuity to the driver. Yikes! So, I'm definitely driving.

                          Yes, those rules apply to all of Paul's soundchecks. Enjoy it, you will have such a great time!

                            I think YouTube is evidence that not all of those policies are strictly enforced.

                              You are correct Audi! I wonder how crowded those soundchecks were for them to be able to get away with it and not get caught. I took pictures (which is allowed) but there was no way I was going to even try to video.

                                It's pretty full on. I've been to a few in different places. There are literally many folks continually walking around you and looking at you. They walk along the front, the back of you and the side. Some footage has leaked but it's pretty hard to do. Sadly, nowadays even soundchecks have become predictable and repetitive.

                                    It don't that hard (I think), you can just start a video in your smartphone and put it in your pocket and record the entire soundcheck
