GA vs. the $130 tickets at Staples

[u2valleygirl]

Okay,so I just got my Prop form and I have a dillema. Should I get the GA or the $130 tickets?

1.)What time would I have to arrive at Staples to get in or close to the heart(last time I heard they let VIP's in at the last minute at Arrowhead Pond)?

2.)If I cannot arrive THAT early is it better to get the higher priced tickets than to risk standing too far back.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

How early can you arrive? Unless you arrive really late, I would definitely go for the GA! Cheaper and better

Here's what you should do:
Get the $130 tix, as well as the GA ones.
Keep the $130 ones, and give the GAs to me, free of charge. Problem solved and good luck!

Ha, Ha!!!! I wish I had tickets for everyone!

I have a baby so I probably won't be able to camp all day long. How early do you have to get in the GA line to get a good spot in or out of the heart?

To be in the heart I'd say 1-1:30 (maybe even 2) is the latest you should be there. For a good spot outside the heart, 3 at the latest, but it's probably better to show up just as early as for the heart, so you can claim right up by the tip

Thanks for the info! What happens if you have to pee? Are people nice about holding your spot once you have your place inside?

 

[Diemen]

Yeah, they should be pretty understanding (and there should also be some porta-potties nearby). Just as long as you don't come back from your break with 5 more people than when you left.

However, when it comes close to the time doors open (within half an hour), I'd keep my butt right in line - people tend to get snippy at the sight of anyone who looks like they might be cutting, and understandably so.

Thank You Diemen! You're the best!

like oh my God, dont buy Gold Circle if you can buy GA!!! The thought of the heart in Staples Center is so cool. The heart is a GREAT place to be Valleygirl! Get GA if you can be there by 2!

I went to the last show at the Pond and got there right after PJ took the stage. I was about 12 feet from the end of the stage (I don't know if you would consider that great) but I thought it was awesome.
