Hey Guys,
I really want to go meet Rihanna on the 3rd of October with a couple of friends at allphones arena in Sydney and i'm not sure how hard this is going to be looking at the venue there are multiple entrances and i was wondering do you guys know where a Rihanna is more likely to go ? would she be going through the main entrance or in to the Allphones arena parking lot ? i really need to know also any advice would be great thank you :)

I can't speak for that venue exactly, but in my experience, go to the stage door. That is where the artist usually gets dropped off.

The stage door ? you mean like the main door into the arena ?

No no no, the stage door is normally out back/ on the side. It connects directly to the backstage. Sometimes it may be hidden from public view (like it is here in adelaide)

Having never been to that arena, I cant say for certain, but I can say years of experience would lead me to believe that this will be the entrance

After "driving" around it on google maps, there really seems to be 1 place that notably sticks out. Its on Edwin Flack Ave & it leads underground & seems to be the only point that has quick secure access.

My personal opinion. Don't waste your time with Rhianna. She is unlikely to stop & sign as it is, and that position is not optimal for trying. If you do go, expect failure & take anything above nothing as a victory.

Thank you i am having second thoughts about going i contacted the venue and asking if they could tell me and they said these exact words " You can come to the venue but as this is a large venue and the artist will generally be driven into the venue the opportunity to meet the artist is not likely to happen. " I live an hour away from the venue so i don't think i'm going to end up going because after looking on google earth i also thought it is going to be hard especially with Rihanna thank you everyone for the help {up} 8)
