I do not get it, I got the EE ticket so I do not have que up in the morning. Now yáll are confusing me saying you will go 5-6 hours ahead of the concert? 

 

Isnt the point to get a head start entry like 2-3 hours before for the concert? Please explain from your experiences, I need to know whether to take a day off or just show up after work

Whenever Gaga comes to Spain people from Barcelona do 2-4 weeks of camping even if they have EE (dont ask why 'cause I dont get that), Ive always gone a few hours before the show 'cause I like meeting people in line if I go alone. At the JWT I went around 3-4PM and I was 5th row.

The good thing about arriving early is that staff usually sections people queuing into groups of 100/150 and moves them to the turnstiles in batches to enter the venue. Being in the first 4-5 groups, you’re almost guaranteed a spot in the first 3 rows.

Honestly though, stadiums are huge and with a catwalk (regardless of the shape), there’s going to plenty of good spots even after EE enter.

When I saw Pink in 2019, I had EE and we barely filled up the barrier. Everyone else who had queued up all morning filled up rows 2-5 I would say.

The first support act started and GC was barely 1/3 filled. A lot of people enter and take their sweet time buying drinks, snacks and merch.

To answer your question regarding EE packages, the average for P!nk was 300 per show for stadiums according to on site staff in Liverpool and Paris that I asked. I don’t think they would exceed that by much for any other act. 

 

For the Spice Girls Wembley shows, I arrived 2 hours before doors opened (regular GC ticket) and I got barrier with great views all 3 nights that I went.

 

Don’t worry about it, it seems so daunting because of how big stadiums are but once you get there, everything just falls into place! Just wait for the very first opening note when the show starts and you are overtaken by the joy of hearing tens of thousands screaming and singing every word that you’re so used to hearing alone. It’s also so immersive being in the GC because you look behind you and see how far the audience goes back. It’s so magical! GOD I MISS LIVE MUSIC!!!  :pawsup:

how does buying merch work with GC EE? is the merch stands outside or inside? and if you exit, can you re-enter? thanks!

I wonder if they will still allow ppl to camp cause of covid restrictions etc

They've been doing that in Spain. I've heard in other countries (already before COVID) you couldn't camp before 8AM on the day of the show, don't know how true that is but :ohwell:

Early Entry usually goes in 30 minutes before general doors open, not 2 hours. You’ll get more info about the package a few days before from VIP Nation on when and where to check in. They cross your name off a list, hand you your VIP merch and you stand in a separate queue.

It isn't. I know it makes NO SENSE. It's only a few tho', since most people who buys Early Entry are those who work/are from outside Barcelona.

Clarity

For Paris I planned to arrive around 3-4 pm, at the very last moment. Because i didn’t pay that much to wait from 8 am lmao. With the heat, makeup, outfit and so on i want to be fresh and with some energy left. Also the stage is so high that front row can barely see the entire stage. And i’d rather step back, get 3rd row and see everything.

For Arnhem I think I might arrive in the afternoon as well maybe 1pm ?

and for London probably in the morning since i have normal GC.

but it really depends on the stage that we’ll get (catwalk, B stage and so on):crossed:

I have been to some stadium shows already this summer and got front row when I arrived around 1 pm and it was "only" golden circle/front of stage: no early entry.  Considering it will be very hot in Düsseldorf make sure you stay hyrdrated. 

Camping is not allowed in Germany so if you arrive at 6 or 7 in the morning to queue you will probably be first.

I want a good spot but with GC EE that will be almost guaranteed (don't know how many of those package were sold)

So I have a ticket for Golden Circle, and I plan to arrive early to get a decent spot.

But do the Early Entry tickets make arriving early a waste of time? Because even if wait there hours before, they will get the best spots.

How many early entry tickets were available for each show, does anyone know?

Its usually enough to fill the whole barricade and some leftovers behind the people in front

By the way , is the Merkur Arena bigger than the Olympic Stadium in Berlin? I'm so pissed off she didn't come here. Who made this decision? Coldplay's last show is on 12th
