GA Admission, European Shows

For the European shows, there is a different entrance procedure to that for the indoor venues in North America.

As each venue is different, some of the new procedures are still being 'tested.'

Here's what we know so far:

The elipse is not an enclosed area in the European stadiums. It is part of a more general barricaded area at the front of the floor. This front area has a full capacity of around 4,000 people.

There is no selection process to get inside this front barricaded area. Entrance is on a first-come, first-served basis.

There is no queuing permitted ouside the before nine am on the morning of the show.

There will be re-entry allowed into this area for those who get in - so that people can buy drinks, go to the bathroom etc. Re-entry will be through a stamping system or, in some cases, a writstband system.

First-come, first-served. Hmm, now theres an original idea.

About time! Hopefully the first come, first served system, which is the only fair way to select unreserved places, will remain as policy for leg 3!

An 'Unofficial' line will normally start off site. Someone (other than superfan) will have a marker to put a number on the back of your hand and add your name to a list.

I agree - this is the way it should be again for ALL shows! This random drawing thing sucked.
