Curse my gene pool

My wife had a similar problem at Hyde Park but one of our friends is 6'8'' so she went on his shoulders and could see everything

So you have to find yourself a tall friend

It looks as though having GC tickets guarantees you will be in front of the GA/GC barricade but you will not necessarily be inside the ramp/eliptical stage. It looks like a first come first served basis to get inside the ramp.

In the European shows there seems to only be the eliptical stage/ramp, whereas in the UK the seems to be an additional barrier (the GC)

Jeez, would people read what myself and others have been saying in all these threads. your wrong, normal early comers with GA tickets can get into the 2nd pit which is NOT GC. GC is only the first pit. sheesh

I got that at wolves. Some woman didn't let me past. I was showing her my number & she was like "Don't care etc...." I'd been there from 11 the night before! Did she think I just went & wrote a number on my hand?? Plus I was a mess - unshaven etc.. I looked like I'd spent the night sleeping rough.

Sounds fair enough to me, if you dont want to lose your place - don't move. Piss in a bottle or something. What the hell does writing a number of your hand mean? **** all! It wouldn't happen if all the old middle aged Bon Jovi fans would just sod off and get seated tickets where they can perv on Jon and nod their heads and leave the rest of us young uns to fight it out for space to rock in!

haha yeah thats true but at hyde park we were a fair way back

Mongoose · #46 05-23-2006, 06:19 PM

Right; just to recap - I can turn up say two hours before the concert starts, join a que (if there is any) and get given a wrist band, give my ticket in at the turnstyle and thats it? Im sorted? Now just to fight out with the backstagers? (mwhahah)

What happens if I turn up late for some reason and theres no ques so no-one is going up and down giving these gaybands out?

Yeah, but they take your bottles off you. & it's not like the good old days at football matches, where you just went where you stood. If I've been queing there since 11 the night before - I expect my place to be saved for me when I get back. Sod these lay abouts who turn up 30 minutes early & expect to go to the front. This isn't a metallica concert.

Anyhow, I did manage to get back to where I was.

Mongoose · #48 05-23-2006, 06:38 PM

yeah but thats the point of standing, its not your place - its not a seat. You move you lose sucka!

I know many people who wont see Oasis becos of that, id take the Bon Jovi crowd anyday.

Many thanks for saying this, I was getting a bit annoyed by reading some of the posts.

My two cents...I didn't have any problem at all in walking in and out of the pit in Dublin. I even moved and sat with some of my friends who were sitting in different places while waiting for the support acts. If the people around see you have been in that spot and you can show you are nice and friendly - even you have to fake it - then you definitely won't have any problem in going back to your usual spot even if it is the front row.

I can honestly say if anyone takes my spot just cause ive gone to get a drink or go somewhere else then they will ****ing regret it, ok

Whats all this pit bollocks?
