Which side of NRG is the box office located? Anyone know this?

Closer to Kirby?

Or on the back side of the stadium?

I want to know where to walk to pick up my tickets without going around the entire stadium.

Thanks

South side of stadium - you will see on maps that is the Amegy Gate, Ford Gate, Bud Light Plaza are on that side
Entrance 9 off Kirb
There are box office windows outside the first set of gates - in outdoor concrete looking buildings and another set of box office windows once you are through the first gates.

It was supposed to be a transfer, but they emailed to pick up at the box office and show ID and CC which I will do on Saturday.

Yes, they still have physical tickets. You can get them the day they go on sale at the venue.

IMPORTANT BUSH/IAH Airport note to save loads of time and stress - if your flight is C/D/E terminals - use terminal B for drop off and pickup.



Super important note for all:

If you are scheduled for Terminal C/D/E - which is United and all international flights - the new monnster international terminal construction is requiring a long term closer of several crucial lanes to and from those terminals and it can be a nightmare of very long wait in traffic especially at busy times - don't risk it. And a very large and frustrated crowd in the terminals.

The trick is to use Terminal B for dropoff and pickup. And then call your uber, or get on car rental shuttle etc. Use the monorail (inside security) or the underground toy train (outside security) to get over to the other terminals. International travelers - every terminal has separate door/area with official taxis with a flat rate by zone - no app needed. Not cheap but about same as Uber & Lyft $55 to downtown, $70 to NRG area - approx

I live here and I have all visitors do this and I do this for all business and personal travel all the time for last year or 2 and plan to for all five years of construction. You can check google maps traffic right next to terminal when you land if you are skeptical but many times of day it is gridlock.
More info below:




Arriving - if you have carryon take inside security monorail to Terminal B which is smaller and often very quiet - then call Uber or get on rental car shuttle from that terminal.

Luggage - get your luggage and ride underground train to B. Reverse the process when leaving - even more important to not stress about your flights.

You can check in for United for any flight including international flights in Terminal B and go through security there. Other airlines you will need to take elevator down and use the toy train to get to your terminal. [www.fly2houston.com]


Terminals A & B use a completely different road so no crazy traffic challenge and are much less crazy busy terminals. All are connected via train and monorail.

email or message me for more info if you need any info [email protected]

Hi there,

I'm traveling from Michigan for the very first time to Houston. I will be flying Spirit & will arive in Houston April 27 at 1:45pm. I am staying at Scottish Inns & Suites at NRG Park. What advice do you have for me? I understand the stadium is near the hotel.


this poster sockers and I have connected offline so he has his questions answered. Donna

Will the Houston shirts go with the space theme?

Odd they still haven't fixed that apostrophe in "'24"---it should be facing the other way.

Re: Houston TX USA 2024 - Stones travel and show info

I sure hope they do a little better with the shirts this tour. Some of the more recent ones have been subpar.

We'll know on Saturday probably.

I am sure there will be photos of the merchandise booths posted on here.

Agree...hopefully the designs are better this time around.

Haven't they done space themed a couple times? I think they came out with one after NASA named a Mars rock after them, be interesting to see what they came up with for the opener. Staying nearby, and I'll be scouting for the merch trucks on Sat. When you getting in George?
Another tour opener meet up before the show would be great.smileys with beer

If I recall correctly, the merch trucks haven't been opening until the day of the show at around 4pm, but it certainly doesn't hurt to check on Saturday.

DDD maybe we can meet up for lunch like we did in St. Louis. Another small gathering.

Looks like there is a BBQ place just off McKee.

You should have my email address.

Donna, how is this BBQ?

Robert Downey Jr did exactly this before the Rose Bowl show - Cal Tech and NASA are right up the road.

besides the pictures posted to facebook a few days ago we have no idea about the stage. Frustrating since last tour we were getting daily updates on the stage construction in Madrid. I'm sure there are photos out there however deep they may be.

NASA - Space Center Houston - don't attempt it unless you have 6+ hours free or more. It is way long drive and huge.

One of my Stones buddies is visiting for the show and she is super interested in NASA so we booked a tour months ago and she is here an extra full day to ensure the one full day available we could get there.. been years since I have been there since I am a local. ha

FYI - it is a very long day to do Space Center Houston (NASA). Allow an hour and half each way for getting there if you attempt it and book tram tickets ahead. But unless you are coming in early or staying an extra day it is a serious hike and a huge thing. Even a fly by would be 2-3 hours at a minimum plus the 3 hours allowance for driving each way. Also the tram tours leave at set times like once in AM and once in PM


Instead go to the museums (butterfly exhibit with live butterflies might land on you), have tex mex at iconic places, or BBQ, see the Waugh Bat colony at dusk, the James Turells Skyspace amazing light and sky color light sequence - amazing and free at sunrise and sunset (on Rice Campus), go to Hermann Park and visit the various areas - especially the McGovern garden - small but cool, consider the eastern glades at Memorial Park, at the Museum of Fine Arts go to the free outdoor sculpture garden, tiered stairs and super techy cool glass tube building you can read about Kinder building. It cools the building and filters light in a crazy techy way.

I have been to the space center. I want to say 2017.

It's a long day. Overwhelming if you are not prepared. We were with a group and left at 7am and got back at 7 pm. We were all exhausted. It may have changed but I doubt you can do it in a few hours.
