Katie14 4,828 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I know people who have general admission tickets like to get to shows super early and wait in line. But, what is the purpose of this? Say you are in the front of the line and you get into the stadium/arena early. You grab a spot near the stage but then anytime you have to go to the bathroom or leave to get food or whatever don't you lose your spot? Is there some type of closed off area near the front that you would only have access to if you are like the first 100 people in line or something? Also, why are there such huge differences in prices between some GA tickets? There must be something i'm not understanding. I would appreciate some clarification.

Pandora 162 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 People wait in line for the experience of waiting out for their idol and to get close up front when they are performing. They may also get a chance to throw letters/gifts onstage and touch the artists' hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusel 1,109 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Do you mean in general or at the artrave? In general, you want to be as close to the stage as possible for obvious reasons & waiting in line can even be fun sometimes if you're a really die-hard fan & the people around you are cool. And idk about you but I can hold my pee for a little while, no need to do that at the venue. :toofunny: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkmytears 2,332 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 What im asking is, how do you save your spot at the front near the stage? For like 3 and a half hours? You can leave the line all throughout the day, people are fine with holding a spot. The GA or LMZ lines are usually like a big party. Then when doors open you go in, go to your spot, and stand there. You can't leave and come back. There's been a few GA shows where I've left my spot to go to the toilet, like the MDNA tour, Born This Way Ball, Mrs. Carter Show, Lonely Hearts Club, and the people around me let me back in, but sometimes/usually they will not. You can realistically hold your pee for a few hours, and just buy merch at the end. I mean, thousands of people do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwings 12,885 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 This is why I always buy seats if I can. I don't like waiting in line for hours, and if I need to leave to go to the bathroom or something, I want to be able to do that. I was such a derp when I went to the Monster Ball. My boyfriend and I had seats, and we got there super early and stood in line until the doors opened. Long after that happened, we were like, "Wait. Why did we get there so early?"

Troy 39 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well when we waited in line on Wednesday in Seattle ( ) we made sure to go to the bathrooms. There was 4 people in my group and we always went pairs of 2. It was a pretty relaxing time and everyone in line was really cool. It was all very relaxed before it was postponed. But we tried not to drink too much water so we didnt have to pee later on, or if we did we drank and then made sure we used the bathrooms really quickly before. Just your above average old lady who loves Target and Sushi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladey Gagz 2,512 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 For like 3 and a half hours? meh, at school I always want to pee the morning but the washrooms are nasty so I hold it off for like 9 hours. And since I hold it every day, I'm used to hold my pee for a long time And also, it's really fun to wait in line for so many hours with friends to see your idol!
