DUH I cut my post w/o knowing it for too long (signal trouble), then snoozed out foer a while! Luckily I copied it- so here's the Repaste of it!
well THAT explains your big reluctence to try GA again!
My sis &, friends and I almost were lifted off out feet trying to get into a concert once so yeah....i understand!
hope you see this! I had to leave and didn't catch this post before i did .
Well... I'm not sure --it could be overnight?
Uh... in New Jersey 2009/ Old Giants Stadium - they ONLY Opened the Gates for GA at 8AM.
I got there at ?8:45AM or so ( bus screw up) and was ?165 on line.
My AIM was to be about half-way between Bono & The Edge Outer Rail if you were to invisibly extend a line outwards from where they were more or less standing in a general way on the center stage from front audiernce's view - Edge left/ Bono
center/ Adam right.
When I got on to the floor of the stadium and was running towards the Stgae> Center & Center Right were already filled up! Luckily for me - people had NOT TOTALLY Filled up the Center Left section. So where i landed at the Oute Rail by the people most leftward at that point it was pretty close to where I had hoped to be!
But tyhe 2 different factors you might face that I didn't are:
1> the stadium might allow over-night GA line -up
2> deepending who you want to be closesty to visually-- that side may be filled up quicker than the other.
If i had wanted to be between Bono & Adam -- i would have not been able to do so at my particular show IF i wanted to be right at the outer rail.
So there are variables you have to contend with! Beleive me - see a friend here got me a tix (I paid her back later) because she had been to GA a few times already, and saw how bad my luck had been in seeing U2 up close in concert ,VS not seeing them at all ( which I & friends have over 25 yrs)---- I was SOOOOOO Nervous about would I get a good spot, would I get there in time, could I run fast enough ........ so just know you might be nervous and that's that! east to say... but i was very excited and very nervous till i got where I wanted to be.
I hopr that is detailed yet clear enough for you!
Thanks for advice. I remember now, why I don't do GA. I was crushed at a Police show in 1983. I was a big fan and was up there at the stage. I almost couldn't breathe and it was hard to get out from there, which scared me. I quickly told everybody I had to throw up (wasn't true) and they all moved away
I found a great spot high up, and I've gone for that ever since.
How early do you show up to be at the outer rail, do you think?
