EGOT2027 10,882 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 How early did you arrive at the venue? What number did you get? When did they pass out wristbands? What time was the line full? ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE ATTENTED A NORTH AMERICAN SHOW WITH THE NEW RULES PLEASE!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmanNastyy69 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I went to the San Jose BTWB this past thursday and I arrived at the venue at around 4AM the day of the show. We were all very organized and everyone was getting a number upon their arrival so it was easy. I got number 158 when I got there. At around 5 we all moved togehter in a single filled line to get closer to the pavilion but still all stayed in line and very organized. At around 8 AM some of the Haus of Gaga along with people that worked for the HP Pavilion came out and told us the rules and how we had to cooperate and listen to them so everything could run smoothly. Well we listened to everything they told us and once they finished going around the whole line and giving the rules we started walking to get our wristband. This was around 9 AM already and I would say there was a total of about 400 people or more in line already. They made you line up in pairs and when we got to get our wristband I was actually 160 there. This wristband only gives you the number that you are in the Monster Pit line but does not guarantee you are in. Once you get it you are told to leave and make sure you are at 4PM to line up for the monster pit and we did not go inside the venue till about 5:30. When we got inside I manged to get into the 3rd row of the pit in the center which was like the closest thing ever seriously and it was AMAZING!

You have no idea how helpful that is. I'm going to the St. Louis show two weeks from today and this is very helpful in deciding how early to go.

pink sushi 4,351 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 They are NOT suppose to, they are breaking the rules. WTF. I thought the venues would disqualify people that are there at like 5am! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to the St. Louis show two weeks from today and this is very helpful in deciding how early to go. Yeah I mean when I found out I was #160 in line I was like ohh im going to be in the back of the monster pit but when ur actually in there it is big and u just gotta find little empty spots where you squeeze in and u just stay there and u will be good. They are not letting that many people inside the pit i dont know why but for our show I would say it was at least like 300 or less in there and there was still space for you to dance. The best advice I could give you is take food and drinks and BLANKETS because it will be very cold and it will be your best friend while ur in line. I THOUGHT PEOPLE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO LINE UP BEFORE 8am?!?!?!!!? Yeah you are not supposed to technically but everyone broke the rule basically by arriving the day before or even before 8am. Honestly by the time 8 came and it was the rule there was over 300 people in line already. The rules say u cannot be in the venues property around 8 am and for the san jose show there is a park right in front of the pavilion and thats where the line was but the haus of gaga or the people from the venue did not get mad or say anything they just gave us the rules and that was it.

Future Lover 2,588 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I THOUGHT PEOPLE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO LINE UP BEFORE 8am?!?!?!!!? They aren't, but people line up across the street anyways. That way they technically aren't breaking any rules since they aren't on arena property. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if u can't line up at the venue property at 8am, then can't people just dash to the official line on the arena property once the line opens at 8am...?

Running gets you disqualified, so there wouldn't be any point. I feel like the venues just use the unofficial fan line just because it's less stress/work for them. If >100 people are fine where they are, why should they anger those people just because 1 person isn't happy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because if you are all organized and line up well the haus of gaga and the venue will go by ur line if you cooperate with them they will cooperate with you. We were very organized and everything ran good so they went with our line but if its chaos and people are running and its not organized the haus will probably not follow the line.

RoyalHooker 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Sorry for posting this everywhere but gaga's team told me to spread it around. ' I talked to the tour security in san jose, I asked them what's going to happen with the 8am rule because there are so many fights breaking out over it. They said; "We are strictly enforcing the rule within the next 2-5 shows" "Anyone that arrives before 8am will not be given priority over people that followed the rules" "If we have to start disqualifying people we will" "We will know who the true key holder is at each show" "For everyone else we will be taking 10-20 people at a time and putting you into the MP line" "If there is any pushing or fighting you will be sent to the back of the line or disqualified" ' About your questions, I got the the venue around 3am i was number 198. I wasn't keeping track of time after that but you don't wait in line for long before they start giving out bands and i'm not sure sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkmytears 2,332 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I got there 4 days early. Gaga's security told us to spread the word that Gaga didn't want us camping. There's a video on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
