DISCLAIMER: The information provided in this post is public domain. Most of it is built up on prior knowledge, as I am a regular to the show. The information given in this post may change at any time, and I will do my very best to update it as soon as possible in order to ensure accuracy. Have fun!
Q: Where is the Channel 933 Summer Kickoff Concert being held?
A: Summer Kickoff will be taking place at Mattress Firm Amphitheatre, which is located at 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista, CA 91911
Q: When is the show, and what time does it start?
A: This year’s show will take place on Friday, May 11 at 6PM. The show will start at 6PM sharp!
Q: What times do the doors open?
A: 4PM.
Q: What time does the show end?
A: Summer Kickoff usually ends anywhere between 11-11:45PM.
Q: Where is Mattress Firm Amphitheatre?
A: Mattress Firm Amphitheatre is located in south Chula Vista off Main Street, just a few minutes from the 805 freeway. If you need directions, just copy and paste the address provided above into Google Maps.
Q: How much does the parking cost?
A: Parking is FREE in the dirt lots surrounding the venue. They are just a few footsteps away from the venue, and yes, they are safe! Preferred parking in a paved lot right in front of the entry gates is available as well for a fee.
Q: When I bought my ticket, it said “parking included”. What does that mean?
A: You will be able to park in the dirt lots (lots A, C, E, F, G) for free. However, if you purchased an orchestra ticket (not from resale) within the first 10 rows (rows A-K), preferred parking in lot B will be included in your ticket for free.
Q: I bought parking for like $20 online. Where would I park?
A: If you bought preferred parking, you’ll park in lot B.
Check out the map below to see where all the parking lots are located, and where you can get dropped off/picked up if you use a rideshare service (like Uber or Lyft) to get to and from the venue!
Q: How bad is the traffic?
A: Expect very heavy traffic going to and coming from the venue.
I always recommend arriving to the venue prior to the doors opening so you have ample time to find a close parking spot, get right into the venue, and enjoy the entire show! Heritage Road, which is the main road that will lead you to the venue, is very narrow, and thousands of other people are trying to get to the show. You get the picture!
Q: Is there a quicker way to get to the venue?
A: Use Google Maps to find out how to take the 905 or Otay Mesa Rd to and from the venue. (If you’ve never been in the area, don’t worry – you won’t end up in Mexico!)
Q: Can I get there by using public transportation? Like the bus and stuff.
A:Unfortunately, there’s no bus stops nearby 🙁
Q: Can I bring my own food and water into the venue?
A: You can bring water into the venue, as long as it is in a factory sealed bottle, and it’s a normal sized bottle. If it’s halfway full because you’ve been drinking it in line, you will likely be asked by security to finish it or throw it out before entering the venue.
As for food, you can bring food in a clear, 1-gallon ziplock bag. Food is also available for purchase inside the venue, and there are tons of delicious options!
Q: Am I allowed to bring a purse? I know that some venues banned purses.
A: Bring your purse! You are welcome to bring purses/small backpacks. Be ready to have them checked by security before entering the venue.
Q: I have a backpack that I want to bring, but I’m not sure if it’s small enough.
A: At the end of this post, you will find my email. Feel free to send me a photo of your bag, and I’ll let you know if it’s an acceptable size. As a rule of thumb, if it’s larger than the length of a ruler, it may get turned away.
Q: Can I bring weapons?
A: NO.
Q: What’s the camera policy? I want to make sure I can bring in my Polaroid.
A: Cameras with detachable lenses are not permitted, as well as Go Pros, iPads, and camcorders. You CAN bring in instant cameras.
Q: Can I bring a poster?
A: Venue policy states that you will NOT be able to bring in signs larger than 8 1/2” X 11” (the size of a regular sheet of paper).
However, security will have the final say of what can come inside the venue.
Q: If it rains, can I bring an umbrella?
A: In the event that it rains, umbrellas will not be permitted inside the venue. The show will go on, rain or shine.
First things first, let’s take a look at the seating chart for the show.
Q: How much are the tickets?
A: Ticket prices vary depending on where you’d like to sit! The cheapest tickets will be located in the lawn section. This is a large, grassy general admission area in the back of the venue, and are $25 each. If you select “933 Special Lawn Offer”, you’ll get these for only $14.33. Next up, there’s seats in the 300’s sections for $29.33. Seats in the 200’s sections range between $29.33 and $85.00. 100’s section seats range between $65.00 and $109.95 . Orchestra seats (aka “floor seats”) range between $109.95 and $431.15. Additional fees may apply to all ticket prices.
Q: Which are the best seats?
A: The closest seats are located in the orchestra sections (they show up as “front” on the seating chart).
Personally I love sitting here every year, but one great thing to know about the venue is that there’s no such thing as bad seats! You’ll have a clear view of all the action no matter where you choose to sit.
Q: Are there big screens for people in the back to see?
A: Yes! There are screens on both sides of the stage 🙂 I also encourage people to bring binoculars if they’d like to see the artist’s faces.
Q: Will there be seat upgrades?
A: If seat upgrades are available, you will be able to purchase them through the Live Nation App the morning of the show.
Q: What about the tickets that say “Ultimate Concert Experience”. Why are those more expensive? Do they come with meet and greet?
A: Ultimate Concert Experience tickets include access to the venue’s VIP lounge, which features a cash bar and food. They also include premium parking. Since these are additional perks, they are a little more expensive than regular tickets. Unfortunately, these do not come with meet and greet access.
Q: What are the platinum tickets? And omg, why are they so expensive?
>A: Platinum tickets are tickets that are marked up based on demand. There are usually some of the best seats in the house. They do NOT include access to the VIP lounge, meet and greets, or any extra perks.
Q: What’s the fast lane pass upgrade?
A: If you have lawn, the fast lane pass can come in handy! If you have a fast lane pass, you’ll be one of the first to enter the venue when the doors open. You will be placed in a shorter line at the main gate.
Q: Do box seats come with meet and greets?
A: No. Venue VIP has nothing to do with the radio station.
Q: I’m short. Will I be able to see if I get floor seats?
A: YUP!
Q: Where will you be sitting Chels?
A: Front row in the Orchestra!
Q: What time does the show start?
A: 6pm SHARP! Don’t get stuck in traffic.
Q: What are the set times?
A: Set times will likely not be released to the public.
However, the artists usually perform in the order that they appear on the lineup poster, with the ones at the bottom (Lauv) going first. In Real Life will likely be the second act on stage, and that’ll be around 6:15 or 6:20! Expect The Chainsmokers to close out the show.
Q: How long does the show last?
A: Expect the show to end anytime after 11PM.
Q: How long are the set times?
A: The set times will vary per artists. Usually, artists that take the stage earlier in the evening (this would be Lauv, In Real Life and Troye) will have shorter set times and perform anywhere between 2-4 songs. Headliners will have longer sets.
Q: So what time are In Real Life going on stage?
A: If you are in the venue by 6, you will be a-ok! My biggest tip is to PLEASE plan on arriving early. The doors will open at 4PM, and there’s plenty to see and do before the show starts!
Q: Chels, how can I win tickets to the show?
A: Great question! If you keep reading, I will be providing you with a list of EVERY SINGLE WAY you can win your way into this year’s Summer Kickoff Concert!
Q: Do I have to be from San Diego to win tickets?
A: For on-air contests, you must be a legal resident of San Diego County.
You must also be 18+.
Q: Why do I have to be 18+ for on-air contests?
A: By law, the radio station cannot collect the info of minors over the air.
Q: What about online contests? Do I have to live in San Diego to win?
A: For online contests, as long as you live anywhere within the US, you should be fine. However, you should always read the rules for each contest to be sure!
A: Usually, 16+. As I said, you’ll always want to check the rules of the contest you’re entering so you can get the full terms and conditions.
Q: Do I really need an iHeartRadio account to enter the online contests?
A: First of all, why wouldn’t you have an iHeartRadio account?! It’s free to sign up, only takes a few seconds, and it’s so worth it. Second, you can sign up for contests using Facebook, but signing up using your iHeartRadio account is much easier!
Q: If a contest says I have to be 18+ to win, do I really have to be 18+?
A: Yep. However, if you’re a minor, you can always put down your legal guardian’s info or the info of an older relative that you live with! When I was a minor, I’d register my mom for contests.
When I (more like we) won, she’d be the one that would claim the prize.
Q: Do I just keep listening to the radio or what?
A: Yes boo. Stay listening to Channel 933.
Q: What’s 933’s phone number?
A: (858) 570-1933.
Q: I heard that you have a better chance of winning contests if you listen on a regular radio vs on the iHeartRadio app. Is that true?
A: The stream on the iHeartRadio app can be delayed up to a few minutes, so I always recommend listening on a regular radio (car radio, your stereo at home, etc) instead of the app when you’re trying super hard to win something!
Q: If I win tickets online or on the radio, where do I pick them up?
A: You’ll pick them up at the radio station’s offices. iHeartMedia San Diego is located at 9660 Granite Ridge Dr, San Diego, CA (in Sierra Mesa, right off Aero Drive!)
Q: CHELS. You are so good at this stuff! Can you give me some tips on how to win contests?
A: BE PERSISTENT. Another thing is during this time of the year, I carry a Walkman around with me (today’s kids will never know!!1!111 unless people sell them on Depop lol) but seriously it’s so helpful!
Q: Can I buy meet and greets?
A: Unfortunately, meet and greets can’t be bought – they can only be won.
Don’t worry though, I’m here to help you out!
Q: Alright then. So how do I win?
A: There will be dons of different meet and greet contests! You’ll be able to enter online raffles, win them on-air, or win them at ticket drop events. Keep reading to learn more.
Q: If I win a meet and greet, do I have to be 18 to attend?
A: Nope! However, whoever won MUST be present at the check in. If the prize is in the name of someone who is older 18, they must enter the concert and check you in.
Q: So if my tia won the meet and greet for me, she has to go to the concert? She can’t just drop me off?
A: That’s right. Meet and greets are non-transferrable. If you win a meet and greet, your name is placed on a guest list at the show, and whoever’s name is on the list must be present at check in. However, they do not have to attend the meet and greet as your guest! For example, when I was younger, the meet and greets would be under my mom’s name. She’d go to the show, check my friend and I in, and my friend and I would go to the show.
Hope that makes sense.
Q: How do the meet and greets work?
A: The majority of the meet and greets will take place while the show is going on. Some may take place as soon as the doors open, so PLEASE plan on arriving early. Once you’re checked in, you will be given a wristband and you will get in a line. You will then be taken “backstage” to an area that will have tables, free food for you, and where the meet and greet will be taking place. Most likely, you’ll be asked to put your belongings down on a table right when you enter the room. The meet and greet photos will be taken on a station photographer’s camera (don’t worry, they always look great!), so with that being said, you will not be able to have your phones out. You will likely be asked to group up into pairs for your photo, but depending on the artist’s schedule and how many passes were given out, you may have more people in your group. When it’s your groups turn, you’ll have time to say hi to the artist, get a hug, and take the photo.
Then you’ll say goodbye, and be able to much on tons of goodies and hang out!
Q: Can I get autographs?
A: You won’t be able to get anything signed. Last year, I had to leave all of my belongings on a table right when entering the room.
Q: Do I have to stay to eat after the meet and greet?
A: Nope, but there’s usually free food, and free is free! Last year, Jersey Mike’s catered the meet and greet, so I got to help myself to some delicious sandwiches.
Q: Can I bring the artists gifts?
A: Yes! Make sure the gifts can get through security though.

Makarov Viktor
Ophthalmologist, Doctor of the highest category, Ph.
D.
Dacryocystitis is an inflammation of the lacrimal sac as a result of obstruction of the nasolacrimal canal. The eye is washed with tears, which prevent the tissues of the eye from drying out and the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria in it. This process, necessary for the eyes, is disrupted by poor patency of the lacrimal canal. Dacryocystitis is manifested by constant lacrimation and swelling of the lacrimal sac. In this case, you need to consult an ophthalmologist.
Causes of dacryocystitis in newborns and adults are usually different. Partial or complete blockage of the nasolacrimal canal, leading to dacryocystitis in adults, is most often caused by atherosclerotic phenomena or infections. Dacryocystitis in newborns occurs as a result of the preservation of the gelatinous film that protected the nasolacrimal canal during the prenatal period. Normally, this film should break at the first breath of the baby. Sometimes its rupture occurs during the first 2 weeks of a child's life.
About 5% of newborn babies need treatment for dacryocystitis in the first months of life due to the fact that the independent rupture of the gelatinous film has not occurred. Dacryocystitis in newborns caused by infection is much less common.
Chronic lacrimation and swelling of the lacrimal sac located in the fossa near the inner corner of the eye is the main symptom of dacryocystitis. When pressing on this area, purulent or mucopurulent discharge appears. The conjunctiva of the eyelids (the inner part of the eyelids adjacent to the eye) also looks edematous. In the acute course of dacryocystitis, there is a sharp reddening of the lacrimal sac and a pronounced narrowing of the palpebral fissure. Within a few days, a fistula forms in the inner corner of the eye, which can open on its own with the release of purulent contents. With a long chronic course of dacryocystitis, a strong stretching of the lacrimal sac is possible, in which the skin covering it becomes thinner and becomes bluish.
Dacryocystitis is very dangerous for eye health, as it can lead to infection of the cornea, damage to it and vision problems.
Only an experienced ophthalmologist can distinguish dacryocystitis from a number of other eye diseases, including conjunctivitis, and therefore prescribe adequate treatment. The dacryocystitis in a child cannot go away on its own. Massage, drug therapy, and in some cases surgical treatment are used for treatment
The standard treatment for dacryocystitis in newborns is the systemic use of massage, it is carried out for at least 2 weeks up to 10 times a day. The purpose of the massage is to break the gelatinous film. With regular and proper massage, dacryocystitis in most cases can be cured without the use of surgical treatment. All manipulations are carried out at home by parents. Particular attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the hands. How to properly massage parents is taught only by an ophthalmologist. A massage session begins with squeezing out the contents of the lacrimal sac.
Then an antiseptic solution of Miramistin is instilled into the eye cavity and purulent discharge is completely removed. And only then you can proceed directly to therapeutic massage. After the massage, disinfectant drops should be dripped into the eye.
If the treatment of dacryocystitis in a newborn with massage is ineffective, the child should be probing the nasolacrimal canal. Surgical treatment of dacryocystitis in newborns is recommended at the age of 2-3 months. In our clinic, probing is carried out under conditions of drug-induced sleep, painlessly for the child.
It is also possible to use low-traumatic laser dacryocystorhinostomy in newborns.
In children older than 3 years, dacryocystorhinostomy is recommended. The operation consists in modeling an artificial lacrimal canal that connects the lacrimal sac to the nasal cavity to restore the outflow of tears into the nasal cavity.

Dacryocystorhinostomy is a method of surgical treatment of disorders of the outflow of tears from the eye.
Allows you to normalize the functioning of the nasolacrimal canal and restore communication between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity.
Tatiana Balashova,
otorhinolaryngologist-surgeon, Ph.D.
Dacryocystorhinostomy is a method of surgical treatment of disorders of the outflow of tears from the eye. Allows you to normalize the functioning of the nasolacrimal canal and restore communication between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity.
The lacrimal glands produce tears that moisturize the surface of the eye, ensuring adequate refraction of light rays at the anterior surface of the cornea, its ideal transparency, cleansing, nourishing and preventing drying. For normal nutrition and washing of the surface of the eye, at least 1 ml of tear is required, distributed over the surface of the cornea. When crying, eye irritation, up to 20-30 ml of tears can be released.
Coming from the lacrimal glands, the tear washes the eyeball, then falling into the "lake", which is located in the inner corner of the eye. There are also clearly visible lacrimal openings that serve as inlets of the tubules and flow into a special sac. Each lacrimal sac passes into the nasolacrimal duct, which opens into the nasal cavity. Thus, the tear is evacuated into the nasal cavity through the nasolacrimal canal.
Finding the tear duct is quite easy. It is presented as a small elastic formation in the inner corner of the eye at the junction with the bridge of the nose.
Dacryocystitis is an inflammation of the lacrimal sac, leading to its narrowing and impaired patency.
Inflammatory processes in the nose or paranasal sinuses against the background of acute or chronic infections, traumatic injury, allergic diseases of the eyes and nose, individual structural features of the nasolacrimal canal (for example, anatomical narrowing), spasm of the lacrimal canal.
With such symptoms, patients most often turn to an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist conducts conservative treatment, including general and local anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiallergic drugs, local instrumental methods of treatment - washing the lacrimal ducts, bougienage (non-surgical expansion) of the lacrimal canal. If such therapy does not bring the expected result, one has to resort to surgical treatment, before which computed tomography with contrast is necessarily performed.
Operation - dacryocystorhinostomy - performed using external or endoscopic access.
External access is rarely used and has disadvantages: unsatisfactory cosmetic effect, prolonged wound healing, etc.
Endonasal microendoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is less traumatic and less painful for the patient, helps to prevent recurrence of the disease and does not lead to the formation of visible scars. Such an operation is performed by otorhinolaryngologists together with ophthalmologists. It is the least invasive and most effective, which is why we use this particular surgical treatment technique in our clinic.
At the first stage, under video assistance (under the control of endoscopes of the required degree), the otorhinolaryngologist surgeon exposes the lacrimal bone through the nasal passage on the diseased side and forms a bone window about 1-1.5 cm in size. lacrimal sac and a wide resection of its anterior wall is performed.
Next, the patency of the solution through the lacrimal ducts into the nasal cavity is checked, the lacrimal sac is left open, if necessary, a soft catheter is left in the nasolacrimal canal for 2-3 weeks.
Surgery usually brings immediate relief and is fairly well tolerated.
To prepare for surgery, the doctor will prescribe a standard set of tests that are necessary before the operation under general anesthesia. It will also be necessary to undergo computed tomography (CT) of the lacrimal ducts with contrast, consultations with an anesthesiologist, therapist and other specialists (determined during the examination). All constantly taken drugs and concomitant diseases must be reported to the attending physician, anesthetist and therapist.
The formed nasolacrimal canal must be washed for several days after the operation. The patient in the postoperative period is observed by an ophthalmologist and an otorhinolaryngologist.
