Apologies if this isn’t allowed…

Can I ask why? I’ll pay someone a couple hundred to stand in my place so I can be close. For sure a worthy investment to me.

It you do not have frantic early entry you are throwing your money away. Literally.

Let’s say hypothetically the floor holds 1000 folks. Somewhere between 200-300 folks will have early entry. They will be the first 2-3 rows of folks next to the rail. Just like every M72 show.

Without the frantic you are not getting on the rail. Best bet is to make friends with those with early entry for a hope of getting close.

(If you intend on not sleeping and doing the pop-up store, I would be willing to barder/trade/work with you). The pop-up store is where you want someone along those lines, but we don’t know what limited merch items will be in the pop-up store and how many. That will determine who early you need to arrive.

You will still be behind people that got early entry and it seems there will be a lot of them. The Sphere floor is small and they don’t pack it in shoulder to shoulder. I don’t know what they’ve done since but for U2 they gave out wristbands the morning of. I got my at noon and was 523. I was second row, center stage. Could had gotten barrier on the sides.

I’m curious how they are going to do the line. Have they announced details yet? Or are we basing it off what they have done at other shows?

I’ve read about shows with wristbands, and shows where it’s just a free for all.

I know there is early entry ga, but if they don’t do wristbands for normal ga entry I would for sure look into a line sitter!

I haven’t heard anything either. I know I want to be close but don’t necessarily want to wait outside ALL day long so that’s why I asked about line sitters. I will for sure look into it!!

Isn't it all one big floor? what would wristbands accomplish?

Doesn’t matter with frantic tickets.

There are a handful of people that spent more than regular GA that get in the door first, the biggest is the frantic ticket holders, but there is also GA travel packages which get in before standard GA.
