Richmond_Bills Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 How was the gate entry process? Did they match vaccine cards to ID's or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 They did not. (At least at Gate 3). Entry was smooth, lines were longish at 11:50 when my uncle and I went in but we got through in about 10 minutes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) A cursory glance by security as you passed through an outer entry. Took much longer to get the ticket reader up and running once we got to the gate. We were in line about 10:45 and they were letting people pass the vax check very smoothly and quickly. Then we waited the 15 minutes for the gates to open. Edited September 27, 2021 by WotAGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Funny you mention ID. After driving in from PA yesterday I woke up in the middle of the night in my hotel room in a panic because I brought my 85 year old Mom to the game and I didn't bring her ID with me. I checked emails from the Bills and no IDs were mentioned. Fortunately at the gate they were not even trying to match IDs to vax cards! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond_Bills Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 ok - sounds good. my group that is going next week is all vaxed, but didn't want to wait ridiculous amounts of time at gates. as a follow up - how was traffic? read for opener, if you weren't in a tailgate by 930 or 10, you may have been in traffic until game time/.

DasNootz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 At both the stadium today and Key Bank Center last night at the Eric Church concert, they only verified you had a vaccination card. They did not ask for ID.

We got to our lot at 8, and traffic was fine. By 830 traffic was growing, and after nine I imagine you waited a while. My preference is to always get there early because I’d rather wait with a beer in my hand by a grill, then stuck in traffic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertig0 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Whether your for it or against it, vax ID check was a total joke. You could have showed them a Sam's Club card or used a 20 year old putt putt pass and gotten thru that check point. They barely even glanced at my phone when I showed my "excelsior pass" - didn't even scan the QR code.

davefan66 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Process wasn’t bad. Had a huge crowd in front of us about 11:30. Vax check was very fast. Wonder if they were really looking. Have the excelsior pass, security person looked for a brief second and waved me on. Not scanned. In the stadium by 11:50. Seems crappy they’d do what they did and then be pretty lackadaisical about checking proof of vaccination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Barely even glance at my card And they had no problem with me having a lighter but took a whole pack of cigs. Edited September 27, 2021 by The Wiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 It was a joke. Much easier to enter than opening day. Traffic was extremely light, too. Must have been an early crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gates weren't too bad, Vax check didn't really add any time. Traffic not bad, we rolled in 930 without much of a hassle, getting out not too bad either. I was really worried about the traffic after hearing about week 1 but it was no issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I went to the European Championship Final at Wembley in the summer that had a vax or negative PCR standard for entry and the checkers were literally just glancing at your phone screen to see that you had something that looked like the UK's vax pass up and then nodding you through.

I was expecting a problem, was pleasantly surprised. Why were you expecting a problem? Not vaxxed and had a false card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 We walked in at 1115a. Smooth. Quick check of CDC card and Id. No issues at that time whatsoever. Stadium was completely full by 1p start. So people heeded the warning and left tailgating early to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
