For the first time, queue numbers will be issued for accessing the Finals seating area. Unlike the Night Market, attendees will be admitted in groups of 100 at a time. Upon entry, attendees must wear a wristband to confirm their place in the queue. Wristbands are required for re-entry; without one, re-entry will not be allowed.
