I’ve always wondered this. Whenever I see a touring band, comedian, etc., I’ve always wondered how they are ushered from the venue when the streets are bustling with traffic because everyone else is leaving, and how they’re able to keep their stay location(s) a secret from the general public. Do they have food delivered? Do they stay holed up the entire time?
Thank you in advance for a breakdown of how this works!
Edit: I can’t respond to each reply but just wanted to thank you all for the responses!

I’m an airline pilot who flies from New York to Los Angeles and back on a semi-regular basis. I see a lot of celebrities – movie and tv stars, rock bands, etc. I even fly the occasional sports charter.
Rule #1: Don’t make a fuss. Treat them politely, as we would any other passenger. It’s six in the morning. The superhero just wants to take his or her seat, put on a sleeping mask, and conk out for a couple of hours.
Rule #1a: No selfies, no autographs, none of that nonsense. I don’t care if it’s Wayne Gretzky (and it was Wayne Gretzky, a while back!). “Thank you for flying my airline. Have a nice day.”
My airline has a special VIP service that people can pay for. We’ll use a special car to take them to the jetway so they don’t get mobbed in the terminal, and someone will escort them up the stairs from the tarmac. Some celebrities use it. Others like to hang out in the gate area and sign autographs. You never know.
