I wouldn't recommend it, as I had a very different experience:
I drove my friend's car once to the Sports Arena, I think it was for Tiesto in Concert. I wasn't familiar with the car (lights were where windshield wiper is on my car, etc.), so I didn't notice that the lights were still on after we parked. My friend didn't notice either so after the event was over we came back to the car and a dead battery.
Within a half hour the police were driving around yelling into bullhorns that everyone must leave. Had to tell them that the car battery was dead. Then the next police car came by, and had to tell them as well, etc. The police were not nice at all, instead of saying "please go soon as you can," it was more like "get the hell out now or you will be arrested!" Took AAA 45 minutes to get there, and I was never so happy to leave a parking lot in my life! :whip: |

Small update.
They will have 5 GA entrances all around the sports arena. and 2 VIP entrances. also Groovetickets will be located further away from the sports arena so it wont be much of a cluster . |
This should be good, as long as we get a map. I can never find the #%&*@ GrooveTickets booth! Spent 30 minutes looking for it at Monster Massive, then once I finally had a wristband, walked right into the VIP entrance with no line whatsoever! |

Glad to see some of the mistakes of EDC and Monster are getting fixed.
I was in line for an hour at EDC and thought I would get crushed a couple times.

I'm very excited about this event! I live in Denmark but I am visiting family for holiday in the states, and I decided since I missed Armin Only in Utrecht I would catch it here instead. I found a decently priced hotel not too far from the Arena and the plane ticket was fairly cheap, too.
I'm curious to know if there is any kind of dress code, especially as I will be in the VIP section? I know when I saw Tiesto at a club in the US a couple of years ago there was a very strict dress code. Can you go down into the GA area? Sometimes the VIP is a bit stuffy and you can't really get into it from there.
Also, what is a good time to show up to the venue? I've never been to L.A. before and I will only be there for 24-hours. I want to see the city then be able to get a nap before the event, but I don't want to miss Armin's opening. What about getting a cab back to the hotel? Its only three miles. Would it be insanely expensive because of the wait? Could I walk somewhere less congested and find a cab there? Or maybe take a bus?
Any ideas? |

Hey!!!
There is No dress code for this event. Come as you wish! Something comfortable and cool. It will be cold outside but once inside it will get pretty hot.
Since you do not want to miss the opening I would get to the arena way before 7pm. So you can be in the front of the line.
3 miles does not seem far but in some parts of La and near the arena it is FAR!!! ie not very safe to walk. :nervous: The bus would be cheaper then a cab. you just need to get a seclude and see what bus to take. But a cab would be much faster.
Hope that helps some |

Dress code: I think you are going to be pretty shocked with what you see. Haha. Nothing like Denmark. I found Trance Energy a little stuffy growing up with this scene. This is not like clubbing in any country I've been.
Yes, VIP will give you wristbands to move freely where you'd like. You'll miss the atmosphere in there!
Sweetcandy girl has the right idea. Early if you are looking to see the start. You can probably weasel your way to the front of the line if you show up later, but I'm suspecting its going to be a mess (<3 Henry).
Cabs: Ugh, those bastards. From my experience they know a large event is going on so they'll try to pull this crap "oh i don't have any change." Who wants to wait an extra 15 to let them get change when you want to just get to the venue? The fare will probably be $10-20. Expect some funny business, but its the best method to get there. The surrounding area is not the safest, but considering 50000 will be leaving, walking isn't an unsafe plan after the event. Tons of cops around.
My nugget of advice: If a girl grinds on you just go with it. My friends from Europe have a hard time grasping that it doesn't exactly mean anything. I always get a chuckle from that.
So pumped. Such a great way to end the year! |

Cabs in LA can be an issue IME. When you tell them where you are going, they are not likely to take you as a client. They keep their doors locked, roll down the window and ask you where you are going and then determine whether they will take you or not. Since your hotel is close by, this may be an issue as the cab drivers are looking to go to LAX or accross town. Let them know you will make it worth their while monetarily. We usually have to pay extra money (about $20) to get a driver to take us downtown especially towards the end of the night as there are tons of people waiting for a cab. Please don't walk. 4 miles is quite a distance in LA and it's just not safe from one block to the next after you pass USC. DPS will be around the local area as well as LAPD, but as up Figueroa back to your hotel, it gets pretty seedy in parts of city.
Welcome in advance to LA!! Have a wonderful time :) :) :) :) |
