Hi

Your friends would not be able to be next to you in the queue as it would be unfair for them to push in front of others they would have to join the end of the line, you wuld have to find them in the queue or they would have to come to you first to pick up their tickets then join the queue. You will all get into the venue. I am guessing you have seats over there so i am not sure how the seating is allocated or are you standing? Here in UK we find each other in the venue because we are standing so thats pretty easy as we always have gold circle.
