Clarity on Alcohol policy and other concert items

My experience in VIP check-in, like Other Ones', was fine. They always look in the glove compartment (as if!), take a look around, ask questions and trust the answers. I'm OK with it all.

I gave my searchers coffee from a thermos (they had been promised coffee, none delivered, so I was a hero) and that made them even happier and hopefully helped those behind me!

One thing to understand is that they probably have to go through the drill to satisfy both ABC and more important, insurance coverage, that they are taking some control and are not running a wide-open event. I don't see it as something they could skip even with the issues caused by the Thursday cancellation.

There were other problems with the lines elsewhere that were not weather/crowd related that could have been anticipated.

My first traffic stop was when I was in the car line on the road (Rt 56 E) at 5:45 am. Got to check-in a little after 9:00 IIRC. The delay was caused by combining VIP and RV, and also because (a) they didn't open RV until 8:00; (b) they only had one scanner at RV, and (c) one RV broke down and clogged the whole works, with no tow truck on site or able to get there. I saw the long line of GA traffic on 29 N at 5:30 when I got on at 56W intersection (where there had been another broke-down RV in the through traffic lane!)
