When in doubt, just act like you own the place.Yeah, that was ridiculous. But luckily I looked like I knew what I was doing so the non-wristband people just lined up behind me.

Big Boston tip: once you actually get your card scanned and your new wristband, you have to hoof it up several flights of stairs. In my head I was going to go through the door and bust right down to the floor. WRONG. And then once you are at the top of the stairs, you have to go through the concourse past several sections before you go down to the floor. People with seats who get there super early are up buying beer, etc. and you have to dodge them. It's kind of like finally get through airport security and then having to get to your gate when you are late for your flight and everyone else is hours early and doesn't give a crap that you have somewhere to be. Have fun!

You are very welcome. I hope you have a great time. My concert FOMO is out of control. It's putting me over the edge. Oh jeez. Those unintentional puns...Thank you FazeCraze and DayGloEyes for the GA tips! I had forgotten the ropes since the Vertigo tour. I convinced my party to try to get in by 7am for wristbanding yay!

Basically if you are going to be there early enough for a rail spot, I would say grab a spot somewhere in the middle of the catwalk. You can lean in and have clear sightlines of both stages at reasonable distance and the catwalk action is right in front of you. You lose out on most of the screen stuff.
Or if you want to do the migrating thing hang near the main stage to start and follow the crowd as it moves to the e stage after intermission and back to main stage for final few songs.
Where is the best place to get a little bit of both? I want to see the screen a little bit, but also be near the e-stage for that little set of songs.
This plan worked perfectly for us at Boston2 and 3, and we plan to follow it tonight, as well:
- Start at Main stage
- During Song for Someone, move to middle of ramp for SBS, RBW, intermission, Invisible, EBTTRT
- Immediately move to e-stage for that set
- After EBW, move back to middle of ramp OR main stage
- At beginning of final song (40, One, or ISHFWILF), bolt for the e-stage, as the band will exit there.
You should be no more than 3-4 people deep at every point EXCEPT the main stage, since that is where it is most crowded, so will depend on what time you arrive.
YMMV.
