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-"This is my first show, what do I do?" 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 on r/toptickets at 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)

Looking for an xl of either of the Grey/Black OSU hoodies, will pay stadium price and then some. (Like 50-70$)

u/WildRanch69 3h ago
My dad waited like 1 3/4 Hrs to get it and they only had small at the front so we were both disappointed
(And the posters were out too, double whammy.)

u/christie-rd 3h ago
This is genuinely one of the worst experiences I’ve had a concert. I don’t know who is to blame, but this is the most unorganized shit show I’ve ever been to. We didn’t even try getting in line in the main outside area because there were 20 different lines that morphed into one, so we went to the C-Deck by our seats to get merch and, after waiting in line for 2 hours, were told by a security guard that our line wasn’t even a “real line” and is letting dozens and dozens of people get in front of us. This is miserable.

Waited 5 hours in line for merch, poster, shirt, and hoodie all gone by the time I got to the stand. Got to seat, wristband gone. One of the most miserable concert experiences I have ever had. Just hope the show makes up for it. Traveled for days and spent thousands, better be worth it.

Anybody in 20C or nearby wanting to sell their black Clancy hoodie? Willing to pay double and then some!! (Waited in line for 3 hours only for them to be all sold out and I’d take any size at this point)

u/enjoyingcurve46 4h ago
Just to put it out there, anyone offering to buy merch for you and asked for paypall payment to be sent as “for friends and family”. That option prevents you/makes it significantly harder to claim your money back in the event your scammed. Only do that if you absolutely trust someone

Merch is ridiculous. Not worth it. I hope they put it online.
Parking on Ackerman paying $30 to park and no shuttle is ridiculous and OSU should be ashamed.
Concert is going to be worth the headaches though.

SOS please help a desert stranded brother out
Hello frens, I couldn’t make getting to the show today work out but I still ready need a shirt from the day. I’m in Arizona and I’m hoping someone out there will be willing to go and snag me one and send it to me. I will pay for half of it as a deposit and we can work out the rest of the logistics in DMs. I’ll obviously cover shipping and what not. Send me a dm if you’d be able to help me out here. It’d mean more than you know. Please anybody 💛❤️

u/demerchmichael 4h ago
the entire merch thing feels incredibly disorganized. It’s like they didn’t allocate enough merch or even print enough. I really hope they put the Columbus merch online for this reason alone.
I’m currently on deck c and it’s like multiple lines merging and unmerging

u/DraaSticMeasures 4h ago edited 1h ago
Honestly this whole concert feels unplanned and unorganized. Who’s even running the show here, no one knows where food or merch line ends, where merch even is, and forget waiting two to three hours if you have trouble standing and can even find the end of the line. it’s like they said ok, Ohio stadium is open, book it like any other concert, and didn’t plan for the extra 30,000 people. They are losing a ton of merch/food profit and people are still nice but pretty upset. Pretty psyched to see the show, but all the people in line are going to miss A LOT. They need to send people out to control the lines, like yesterday.
Edit: What a show though.. wow
8
u/NotoriouslyAlex 4h ago edited 3h ago
Line control + have enough staff/inventory, people having to wait 5+ hours in the merch trunk line only to leave with nothing in a heartbreaking experience people should NOT have to endure. I lined up to enter at 3pm, am still in the merch line 2 hours after doors, and the posters and hoodies are gone. Frustrating experience /vent

Inside A level merch is out of posters and running low on hoodies. Been waiting almost 2 hours and still about an hour to go before we reach the front.

Regarding the merch stands inside the stadium as of 5 PM EST.
The line for the D gate merch stand wraps around past the rotunda, I didn’t even find the end. Ran up to C deck (my poor legs) and found that line wraps almost the whole stadium too. Came out to the east side of the stadium and there are lines everywhere but I settled here because we seem to be moving.
certainly doesn’t feel like they were prepared for the volume of merch they were going to sell…

u/Something_fishsticks 6h ago
SeatGeek said we would get our tickets to the Ohio show of Twenty One Pilots 24hrs before the show, then they didnt send them. We we're then told that our tickets were NO LONGER AVAILABLE. We were given the option to get new spots but that was taken away too so now we have to wait for a refund which could take up to a WEEK to get. We drove 15 HOURS to come to this show and bought our tickets back in MAY. Do better SeatGeek and don't mess anyone over the way you messed us over.
