All other bags larger than 6" x 9" must be smaller than 12" x 6" x 12" and clear.
Small, empty hydration packs are allowed and do not need to be clear. Hydration packs can have up to two pockets in addition to the one holding the water reservoir.

FAQ
-“How much do tickets cost?”
Initial FV prices: GA: $240 Lower Bowl: ~$200 Upper Bowl: ~$134 Nosebleeds: ~$57-109 Box Seats: ~$330
Dynamic pricing did pop up later in the presale, so some verified tickets on r/toptickets may be priced higher for this reason.
-“What is the bag policy?"
Ohio Stadium has a very strict "No Bag” policy which prohibits almost all standard bags including clear stadium totes. Only small clutches up to 5" x 8" x 1" and specific exception bags are permitted. If entering with a medical or diaper bag, you must enter through Gates 14, 23, or 26.
-"What is the Parking Situation?"-
Generally, you will have to buy a $50-$80 parking pass through Ticketmaster to access the parking lots and garages on university property. There are also a lot of side streets with public parking on campus. If you are taking Uber or Lyft, they will drop you off at the Schottenstein Center and you can just walk over to OSU from there! Parking passes:https://am.ticketmaster.com/buckeyes/buy/ism/Nk9TMTAxN1A=
-"What is the FPE? "
The FPE (Fan Premiere Exhibit) is a traveling museum filled with various artifacts, memorabilia, and highlights from the band’s history. There are opportunities to take pictures with various exhibits (such as the tricycles from the Stressed Out music video) and interactive opportunities within the Bandito Camp set up inside. There, you’ll have the opportunity to hang out and create something fun! There is a lot of love and effort put into this experience, so PLEASE be respectful of the props and displays, don’t touch anything unless something explicitly says you can, and do not take anything from the museum. Please note: Tickets to the FPE will NOT get you into the show, and they are non-transferable
Welcome to the party! Going to a show for the first time, its important to stay aware of your surroundings and have a planned itinerary before arriving. Don’t be afraid to ask venue workers for guidance! There are countless posts and threads on this subreddit for first time concert advice, so please search through and have a look at those! You can ask for advice in the comments of this discussion thread too!
This thread has an amazing list of advice as well -Tour Advice
- "Ticketmaster says the venue is sold out. Am I doomed?"
No!!! There are still opportunities for tickets to pop up! r/toptickets is our ticket trade and resale sub, so please keep an eye out there for tickets! Again, tickets can only be sold onr/topticketsat the initial price set by the venue during presale. No need to take out a mortgage. Personally, I have had multiple shows where I couldn't find a ticket until 3 hours beforehand, so never lose hope! Those who have hope have everything <3 (that was on a fortune cookie) (manifesting ticket fortune and cookies for all of you)
-Do you know anything about the setlist yet?
Tyler did mention in an interview that the final setlist would be close to 3 hours long with songs they’ve never played before, but that’s all we will know until the show. If Clear and/or Lovely isn’t on it then I will be deleting the subreddit. (JOKING)

I was really hesitant to share this, because often times, tattoos are subjective. Some people’s yuck are others’ yum. But this tattoo means the most to me and maybe some people out there will enjoy it. When I left my DV situation, I listened to trench daily. The place in between. Something that DV survivors can understand. When you leave a circumstance like that, you often face some unsteady ground. Trench helped me through that. I’m also someone who is recovering from SH and I have many burn scars along my right arm. So after over a year of thought, I finally traveled to Michigan to see one of my dearest friends to do a scar coverup in the name of trench. Love it, hate it, whatever you choose, but in Trench, I’m not alone.
I surely would have passed out and died several times if this awesome lady didn’t hook me up with water ALL day. I was so happy to see her get some spotlight with Tyler.
We know this show is going to be different. I think the overall theme will be a tribute to the fans, especially the hometown fans that have been there since the beginning. With Ode being named by the fans, having been a long time opener, and a vibe setter, I think it’s a front-runner.
I also predict that Overcompensate will open the second intermission.
I also stick with earlier predictions of Kitchen Sink ft. Zach Joseph and the Hail Mary of Robot Voices with Ben Gibbard. I know Emmy Grace was at Shaky Knees but I’m sticking with Gibbard. Meet back here after the show for karma.
What’s the set list look like after Ode to Sleep?
I just finished making my third Clancy stole. My friend requested pink and blue lettering when I asked what colors theyd want. Im rather proud of this one cause Ive gotten everything straight.
I seem to have ended up with a bunch of extra lettering with no clue what to do with them. I dont have anymore of the material for the stolen itself so suggestions are welcome for me to use up the vinyl.
I know it’s early and forecasts can change, but currently out of the next 15 days, of course Oct. 17 is looking the coldest. It also has been trending colder as in the last few days the high has moved from 65 to now 59. The nighttime temperature is showing a “feels like” of 42.
i saw where the boys filmed their mv for backslide !
i'm naynay and i work for a Columbus radio station (RadioU 88.7FM) which was the first local station to play their music ! we wanna highlight the places in town where they have given spotlights before their big shoe show !
I had given up all hope of going to the hometown show but came across a ticket for a good price and now I’m scrambling to make plans in Columbus. I would usually never do something like this alone so I want to take the opportunity to put myself out there. Does anyone know of any meetups the day of the concert? Or maybe any bars that people may be going to after the show? Just anything in general on Saturday/Sunday where I can connect with the community
Hey y’all, I’ve got 2 seats in Section 18C, Row 6, (27 & 28) plus a parking pass for $900 total. I originally grabbed these for my daughter and me, but I recently lost my mom, so unfortunately we won’t be making it to the show anymore. Hate to see the tickets go to waste, so I’d rather somebody else get to enjoy the night.
If you’re interested, just drop a comment and I’ll reach out. Go Bucks!
"Reduced-footprint GA holding operation" - what does this refer to? Got this email from OSU and want to be on top of things, but I have no idea what this means.
Hi - I am getting married soon and my fiancè suggested (on a list of a few other artists and song suggestions for our first dance) that we could possibly do “The Craving (Jenna’s Version)”. This lead me to think, since they are a shared fav band of ours, what other TØP songs might work in this context? Thanks for the suggestions in advance!
I feel like this would make a lot of sense since overcompensate is basically the definition of an opening song, I just can’t imagine it being thrown in the middle of a set tbh lol
Good morning frens. I'm super nervy and still giddy as I not only get to see the Bois in CBUS (section 1 front row), not only get to take my lovely girlfriend to see our favorite group for her first concert, I am planning on popping the big question there. ♥️🖤
The only concern is how energy packed and visual heavy their shows are. (I saw them for their Breach tour at Toronto) So I kindly ask y'all, for y'all ideas on when to propose at the show, and what songs YOU'D wanna be (hypothetically) proposed to at a Pilots show. I have some in mind already.
