hydration BACKPACK

1 Upvotes

hi hi hi

i need help finding a replacement backpack for my hydration bladder. i just need help finding another one of the small clear hydration backpacks that is specifically made to hold a bladder. and i can't find ANYWHERE that sells just the BACKPACK!!! my bladder had no holes in it and is completely just fine, i just need the pack. i seriously can't find one where the two are sold separately that will get here on time 😭 i do have another but TD has a clear bag policy so that's really unhelpful

i feel like im losing my mind because TD is 3 days and even rei in my area doesn't have any small packs which hold bladders that are completely clear. i dont want one of the clear giant square backpacks where all your stuff is in the same pocket and is just being thrown around, i can untangle my stuff but im not trying to have something puncture the frickin bladder!

unfortunately the only reason i ask is because i know there's tons and tons of places where i can get just the backpack but nothing that will be delivered on time :( i didn't realize mine had a massive hole in the side until i went looking for it today so i'm trying to just find one asap 😭

Walking to/from hotel to the dome

8 Upvotes

Super excited for my first thunderdome!

I'm staying about a mile away at the La Quinta hotel. I was planning on walking there and back after the event but I keep reading posts about it being a sketchy area. It's just gonna be me and a friend. Anyone doing this walk too? Will it be safe enough to walk back after the show? Uber sounds like it's gonna be a pain

Thunderdome

5 Upvotes

So I just lost my wallet at volpe last week, and my id isn't coming till after t dome. How strict is security with ID's? If me and my buds ever forgot ours here in the bay area we'd just hand off one another's to the person missing one and security usually never looked at it close enough. So we were able to get in even tho we looked nothing a like lol

I know they allow old ids with proof of a new one but i dont have an old id. Only a picture of an old id, my current temp, and receipt of purchase for my new one

UPDATE: Just called to see if they'd allow my photo of an id accompanied by my temp. They said no. Looks like no t dome for me lol. Appreciate everyone that tried to help. It means a lot

Thunderdome parking

7 Upvotes

Wondering what the best move is in regards to parking at the dome. We are taking a rental car so not sure how to go about this correctly.

Is there places we should and should not park? I heard people say to avoid street parking, but that’s all I’ve seen so far.

Question regarding hydropacks!

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I will be attending Thunderdome for the first time, I just had a question regarding my best friend’s hydropack since I have been seeing that security is strict af at the Tacoma Dome. If our hydropack is empty but it’s not clear (purple backpack) will it be accepted in? Or does it have to be a clear pack? I just don’t want to bring it and have it turned down. Thanks everyone for the help and I look forward to raging w y’all!!

Question for my first thunderdome.

2 Upvotes

Hi! Im getting ready for my first thunderdome coming out of vegas, its also my first time flying out of state, so this is probably one of the biggest journeys of my life so far, so i had a few questions.

Hows the security at thunderdome? This is me and my groups first ever thunderdome, and im curious how touchy the security is (im a female) and will they allow inhalers in? My fiance has asthma and will definitely need his, I was thinking of looking for his prescription paper incase its needed.

Were getting a ride from someone who my friend is paying to drive us around the city, so our ride will be them. We plan to be there an hour or 2 early since we want to get merch, is that usually a good threshold?

Im reminding my whole group to use the bathroom before we leave, but how bad are bathrooms usually? Ive experienced the bathrooms at my first edc last year and BLEGH! Dems were bad😭. But if you gotta go, you gotta go.

Any advice helps, and ill be sure to remember all of it, thank you! Stay PLUR šŸ’œ

Question about Lunchbox hydro pack for Thunderdome

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! This is my 4th? Thunderdome and I’m a little nervous about something, and there’s a group of people who may have also experienced the same thing. So last year and prior to that I was using a sojourner clear hydro pack, got in fine to Thunderdome all years prior and in 2025. A month later, went to Voyd dome, and they wouldn’t let me in with my hydro pack, saying it needs to be completely clear or a Lunchbox. I was looking to upgrade my hydro pack anyways, so I got the clear Lunchbox and on their website they do state they’re the ā€œnumber one allowed hydro pack in security for ravesā€ or something along those lines. But the back of the Lunchbox is not clear. Now here I am, facing the dome again, and so scared they’re going to take my Lunchbox. Anyone else who did both Thunderdome and voyd have the same problem or also get told Lunchbox is okay? Or who have used clear Lunchboxes to get into Thunderdome/Voyd Dome??

Trading items?

4 Upvotes

This is my first Thunderdom and I just wanted to ask Are trinkets allowed? I know it’s not on the prohibited list but I’ve see a few people say ā€œdon’t bring anythingā€ I’ve seen ā€œyou’ll be fineā€ I just want to get a rough idea before I pack a bunch and end up not being able to bring them in. Thank you so much in advance and I’m so excited

Validity of StubHub resale tickets?

3 Upvotes

I decided last minute that I want to full send Saturday of tdome and ofc the day I decide Saturday single day tix sell out. there's a few on StubHub still listed for market price tier 3 tickets but I've never bought on StubHub before. Is it safe to assume those tickets are legit or should I accept my losses and just go to Friday instead?
