Default How early is too early?
I need some help. I have General Admission tickets for one of their shows this summer. Everyone has in mind that perfect spot in the pit, front row. How early should I wait outside the venue? I don't want to be crazy and waiting for a week, but at the same time I don't want to miss a great opportunity. What do you all think. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if there were people camping out I would say the day before for some shows. I am not sure how many would do this but I would bet there will be some who will. I'm sure if you are in the pit even if you do not have front row you'll be fine. What summer show are you going to?

The all request hour, the girl in the front row has just asked for Blood on Blood, ok, Merry Christmas young lady!" Amazing <3

I heard that people where at Southampton from 8am the day before the show. That came from some of the Stewards there.

For MK Bowl Sunday we were there at 3.30am....12 people were there before us!! Didn't make a difference though as they gave the inner pit wristbands that were spare (after the fan club went in) to the wrong gate so we missed out on the inner pit!! Still bitter about it but the gig rocked and I had a great time none the less...

Mel ;o)

Queuing gets more crazy every tour.
For MK Saturday there were people there on Thursday already ...I wonder who (and no it wasn't me!)
I got there at Friday around Midnight and was number 102.

Got to Glasgow at 11am on the day of the show and got 2nd row centre (with FC) and got to Manchester at 3.30pm and got 4th row centre (with FC again).

On the bounce tour when i just had GC normally got to the venue at 10am and always ended up around 3rd row on Richies side.

I admire them for doing that - I couldn't I think.
