Juniper Bar is also a great option if you want convenience. Right across from MSG, they have good food as well if you want a bite to eat.

It appears the Bryant Park Winter Village will be open in time for the shows (opening at the end of October):

JFK is easy.

Airtrain right at JFK (by baggage claim) > Jamaica train station > LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) 20 minute train to Penn Station, which is right by Chelsea.

Does anyone have a sense if tickets will become more readily available as we get closer to these shows?

Yes. People will be unloading tickets a week or two before the shows. Also, Ticketmaster will probably drop tickets too.

I liked the early start times in the summer but I love a later start time especially in NYC since it'll help people drinking at the bars get to their seats faster lol.

[pzamps210]

Lame. Was hoping for better/random guests like in 2018

Just allowed me to go to dinner at a more reasonable time knowing I don’t need to be inside at 7:30 anymore.

GA Floor Wristband process for Harry Styles this month; DMB probably the same. A little different compared to the 2018 shows. There was no Warehouse early entry in 2018, probably not this time either, but this process is the same as the previous DMB #'d wristband process, just includes any ticket WH or TM

General Admission Policy
General Admission Line Policy

All guests are required to abide by the provisions within the following General Admission policy. Ticketholders found in violation of the following policy may be asked to surrender their tickets and leave MSG property.

General Admission (“GA”) ticketholders must enter via the Chase C entrance located on 33rd Street & 8th Avenue for Harry Styles shows on October 3, 4 & 16, 2021. This is the ONLY ENTRANCE you may access with a GA ticket.

Starting at 9:00AM on each show day, sequentially numbered wristbands will be issued to the first 450 guests on a first come, first served basis. A GA ticket will need to be presented in order to obtain a wristband. The wristbands will be distributed at the Chase C Entrance which is located at the West 33rd Street and 8th Avenue glass doors. Guests will also provide proof of vaccination upon receipt of their wristband.

NO LINE-UPS PRIOR TO 5:00PM. OVERNIGHT LINES WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.

A number will be randomly picked at 4:45PM. All guests with GA tickets and a numbered wristband should begin lining up in numerical order beginning with the announced number (i.e. if number 79 was drawn, the line would start with 79, then 80, 81, 82 through 300, followed by 1-78). The numbered wristband is for line placement only and will be exchanged for an MSG-issued wristband prior to entry into the GA pit.

Guests will present their numbered wristband, enter the magnetometer at Chase Entrance C and have their tickets scanned inside Chase Entrance C. Guests will then be separated in groups of ten. Ten guests at a time will be sent down the C/D corridor to receive their GA wristband. The next ten guests will be escorted by 3 members of the Guest Services team across the Theater Upper crossover, receive their wristband and stage in the A/B corridor. Approximately 4 members of the Guest Services team will assist with wrist banding guests at each corridor.

GA ticketholders will be admitted to the GA floor in groups of 15-20 once doors are opened, scheduled for 6:30PM. Guests entering via Tower A will be staged at the South Floor Entry. Guests entering Tower D will be staged at the North Floor Entry. All other GA ticketholders will be allowed entry after guests present with MSG-issued wristbands are accommodated. A GA ticket is required to obtain a wristband. A wristband is not required for entry, only priority entry. These guests will provide proof of vaccination prior to entering the magnetometers at Chase Entrance C.

Guests are not permitted to “hold” a place in line for other guests who are arriving later.

The wristband must remain on the guest’s right wrist while in line. Loss or removal of the wristband will require the guest to obtain another wristband and take their sequential place in line. Any guest found with a tampered wristband will have his or her wristband confiscated and will lose their place in line.

Guests are permitted to have a reasonable amount of food and non-alcoholic beverages while in line.

Yeah I can’t imagine DMB starting before 8:30 now.

[CDN-DMBfan]

Questions for locals: to return to Canada we need a PCR NAAT COVID test. I’ve been googling places around our hotel to get one but most are saying 48-72 hours to get your results. Anyone know of places that provide same day results? Or is that 48-72 hour test result time frame overstated? We’re staying a couple blocks from MSG.

Also, with the opening act announced and the start time of 7:30, what’s the expected DMB onstage time and MSG curfew time?

[YankeesDMB41]

The opening act STARTING at 7:30? Wow....That feels late. Could be an interesting night. Is there any chance this band sits in with DMB in some capacity?

Yeah, probably can count on the songs that were played with them at the Gorge..along with the cliche Jimi Thing whenever it shows up, etc. And Tony Hall played on much more throughout that weekend.

I am pretty sure this is a Harry Styles specific entry policy (similar to Springsteen) as that happened to my friend in Detroit at his show.

[parkersoms]

Also there won't be more than 30-40 people in line by mid-day for these shows (there weren't in 2018). So this policy isn't needed.

Harry Styles fans are nuts; there will be hundreds of them waiting.

[abul_aziz]

Regarding this: Dumpstaphunk will open. Doors: 6PM Show Time: 7:30PM

I am getting a babysitter both nights, wondering if anyone has any insight to an ending time.

Some of you have said 8:30 start for DMB...I'm thinking an 11:30 - 11:45 end point, maybe even midnight if they are feeling a vibe?

Any thoughts?

[jimmea217]

No curfew I'm sure. Will DMB play past 11 pm So we get a full set?

Guaranteed based on the Gorge this year. Dave seems quite enamored with Dumpstaphunk.

I’m don’t know what post Covid reopened MSG is like but I thought the curfew there was 11:30 with fines after 12.

[YankeesDMB41]

TGIY with the whole band.

I live in NYC, and my go-to PCR test location has been Bellevue Hospital on 28th & 1st Ave.
https://www.nychealthandhospitals.or...tes/#manhattan

Only thing is they're closed on Sundays if that's when you need to be tested. I've gone there twice and have gotten results 11 hours and 7 hours later. They also have a Times Square location. Good luck!

Amazing. Thanks for the info which should be extremely helpful.
We need a negative test completed within 72 hours of our flight home so with this it sounds like we should be able to get one.
Cheers
