I see what you're saying, but at all the shows I've been to so far, the ellipse has been like half full when the opening band starts, so I don't know how it could be full enough for them to stop scanning at 7:30. Do the rest get wristbands from the guys at the back? Now I'm interested b/c I have a GA fro Oct. 24, I'm going alone, and I can't get there until right before it starts...
You have to remember that the ellipse wristband lets you roam freely until the show starts. You don't have to hold your rail spot. Many ellipsers may be having a drink or just hanging out until the show starts.
I've heard or wristbands being handed out by the entrance to the ellipse along the rail and in the back as well.
