IS EVERYBODY IN?
The event we’ve been looking forward to all year is finally upon us! It’s time for our New Year’s Eve Gathering, with friends and family coming together for our final throwdown of 2018. Our team has been working tirelessly to design a spectacular 360 rotating spaceship to launch us into the new year – hope you’re as ready as we are! In return, all we ask is that you look out for one another, celebrate life and promote positivity at every turn, take care of your body + mind, and enjoy the ride…

HEALTH & SAFETY
Hydrate
We have gone above & beyond to stock this arena up with as much FREE water as possible – there will be 7 bottled water stations available where you can just walk up and take a bottle of water for yourself and your friends. There is a station located in The Haven, two on the floor, two in the lower concourse, and two in the upper concourse – we have purchased enough water so that each and every human in the venue can keep their body hydrated the night of the event. We will also have Ambassadors buzzing all over the venue giving away even more water; please be sure take full advantage of this!! It is going to be packed and hot in this arena, let us repeat: IT IS GOING TO BE HOT IN THIS ARENA! So nourish your body and give it what it needs…
Know Your Limits
We know people tend to go super hard every New Year’s Eve, but don’t go overboard. Don’t put anything in your body that could cause it harm – And if you’re feeling any sort of pressure that is making you uncomfortable, go to The Haven, find an Ambassador, hit up The Hummingbirds table (located in The Haven), and remove yourself from the situation altogether. We are here for you!
We hope each of you make safe decisions all weekend long. There will be more than enough stimulation from all all of the activities going on and all of the water you’ll be drinking, so please be mindful of your body and protect your nervous system… Keep an eye out for those around you and take care of each other: You Know We Love It!
Ear Safety
The Bassnectar Crew works to bring the most state-of-art, immersive sound experience to your ears. But like any of our events, we always promote wearing ear plugs. Ambassadors will have them for you at the Love Here Booth located in The Haven – so stop by, say hi, and get some for yourself. You won’t regret it.
Allowed + Prohibited Items
Please review all of the allowed + prohibited lists for a safe + speedy entry!
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ALLOWED/PROHIBITED LISTS
We’ve added additional entrances for this event and have doubled the security checkpoints to get all of you in faster and safer, but we ask that you do your part to help. Please review what items are allowed and not permitted inside the venue – this is one of the main issues that holds up the lines. Come prepared, have your tickets and IDs situated, take turns with one another in line, and cooperate with security and the venue staff.
Once you’re in, don’t forget this is a Free Roam Event!!! So any and all are welcome on the floor and the stands! We worked hard to make this happen in this venue, so enjoy :)
Rain
Our extended team is monitoring the weather closely, and there appears to be a chance of rain on the day of the event… Although we don’t exactly know the time of the day it could hit, let’s all be prepared for it! Please let your friends know and maybe exchange some inexpensive holiday ponchos for the short moments you do find yourself outside. The lines and security checkpoints will be positioned inside, so we have you covered there – just please review the event map once again so you know where the entrances, parking lots, etc. are all located for smooth entry!
