Once you receive your wristband, you will be allowed to enter the Mall to get your place in line. 7. If you want to keep your place in line, you must stay in line all day.

It's nice of them to provide Port-a-potties for the fans standing in the freezing cold Minnesota weather... (see Rule #2).

I think I made the right choice staying home! My mom went after work Friday just to watch the show and said it was just pathetic! A friends daughter went too, and was in line at 4am and did not get a wristband - she was mad!!
They only gave out 500 wristbands, 200 or so more wristbands were given to people that won radio contests and were flown in from all over the country. Those poor people had to stay on the second level of the mall and watch from there and then could get in line behind the other 500 for autographs. If you were not one of the first 500 or the radio winners and wanted to see the concert, you had to go to the 3rd and 4th levels and could not get an autograph - couldn't even go near the floor! My mom did stay on the second level behind the radio winners, she was talking with a couple that came from Kentucky for a couple hours before security told her she wasn't going to be able to stay there. And if she did, she had to stay behind the radio winners. The nice couple took her camera and got some pictures for her. He only sang for 30 minutes, just himself - didn't bring his band, sang all Christmas songs and his one new single. For the autograph signing, of course you had to have a wristband. Those that didn't, couldn't even watch the signing! If you didn't have a wristband you could not stand around the barricades they put up around the Rotunda and just watch! Security made people keep moving. |
