1. Congrats Neil!

2.
hey guys, i'm a bit concerned now about this

http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/110044DC849F76A1
"Front Of The Line by American Express"

does that mean that any douche that would buy a ticket with AmEx would be able to get in first no matter when she/he arrives at the venue? like, i'd be queuing for 10 hours and then one shows up with that card and gets in first?

that's pretty f*cked up
(i am sorry for the f words n stuff..)

I'm soooo pumped, I don't know how early people queue; I've only ever been to one other real concert before, and that was a seated T&S concert in January But I'll definitely be going as early as I need to be up in front, I'm 5'3" I'm happy to keep anyone company, especially fellow T&S fans

[EFF YOU]

So the gates open at 5:30 but the show starts around 7:00 pm?

see you guys there

So I'm not familiar with GA concerts or Malkin Bowl, maybe someone can help me out with how this is going to be set up... Do you think everyone will just be standing and packed in? Or will you some how be able to save a spot if you get there first?
I'm just scared I'll come early, wait forever, have to pee or something inside and then lose my spot..

[jennie.didn't.do.it]

From my experiences, it's pretty much first come-first serve. I mean yeah, it's like every other GA venue as far as I'm aware. If you leave, someone will take your spot. Saving spots I guess can work sometimes...but it's an open space and people will be packed in. Not sure what else to say?

[hermitstyle]

ive saved spots before for people who had to go to the bathroom. i mean, you normally do have an hour before the first band comes on. when that person leaves, i literally just stretch out my body, stand in the middle of the two "spots" and i guess you can say, assume the position (kinda like you are getting patted down by a cop, you have to spread your feet apart, i cant think of another way to say it). it might be a bit tough getting back through the crowd, but ive never had a problem doing it or saving spots for others to do it

[rlim381]

never been to a GA concert before...how early would one go to get decent spots?

[jennie.didn't.do.it]

If you want to guarantee to be in the first row or even first few, I mean it's hard to say sometimes. I always give myself the whole day and get there in the morning before a lot of people, that way I know for sure that I can get a spot where I want. Basically the earlier you get there, the better your chances are.

[rlim381]

I see...but the thing is I have classes until 4:30 that day...was just wondering how much class I should skip? This totally sucks...

[jennie.didn't.do.it]

Skip the whole day!

Don't listen to me, I'm a terrible influence.

[zuzuzu]

hell yeah ! im even willing to quit my amazing job as a dishwasher if my boss won't give me that day off :D

What time-ish do you mean by "in the morning"? As long as I can get there by bus that early I'm totally up for doing it. My height depends on it... at least I have an inch on T&S

[jennie.didn't.do.it]

I just want to be the first one there. I was thinking 8am, but it could be either I get there and there's a ton of people, or there's no one there and I waste hours sitting there before anyone shows. Hah. I don't live close to it so it's not like I can just go home then come back a little bit later, you know?

just an fyi, telling people when you are going to get there, i can almost always guarantee that people will see that and get there ahead of you, because they want to be first

What Lesley means is that if you're planning on showing up at 8am, SHE is going to be there at 7:59am. Not cos she wants to be first, but simply because she doesn't want you to be. She's kind of a bitch like that.

Hey Lesley?

This, basically. Sorry.
