With Generell admission you can choose where you want to stand. It's not reserved seated. So yes, you can stand together.

When to queue depends on if you want to be more in the front or if it is okay for you to be more in the back (remember that the people with GC tickets are in front of you anyway).

Generally with GA, I'd say it's not really about when you start to queue, unless you're positive that when you get in you won't move for any reason, be it to go get food / drink / use the toilet / whatever

I'd say aim to get there just before the gates open, and make sure you don't go anywhere after the main support act has started, and you should be fine

The queues for GA aren't as big. People realise that they're not going to get to the front so it's pointless getting there too early. As has been pointed out before, if you get there half an hour or so before the gates open, you'll be pretty close to the front of the GA area.

That's rubbish. You can't say that. George Michael would have a lot of fans there. Just because you may not like him.

I'm gonna be getting to Twickers, about 3 hours beforehand. And I'm in GA. I want to get as close to the front of GA as I possibly can. By the time my train leave, and I've dropped into where I'm staying quickly, and then I walk to the stadium...that's about when it will be anyway. Obviously I know, I might not get to the front of it...but, I'd rather try! And it's either get there at 1ish, and just **** about doing nothing...or get there at 1ish, and que. Might as well que.
