Hey Perthians and Adelaidians - how did you go with getting a railing position with the 4:15pm entry and then keeping it in for 7 freakin hours?!

I'm already divulging my battleplan (not drinking after 12pm etc :P), but I'm at odds with my normal hydration-fuelled lifestyle - any tips per chance?...

    We managed to go to and from toilets, merchandise, food etc up until the end of the R7 set but didn't try after that, although a few people around us did and we had no problem letting them back into their spots and keeping others out. But we were on Mike's side, I hear it was a bit different on Stone's side.

    It's going to be warm, so I am not sure if stopping drinking fluids at noon is a good idea.

    Hopefully it rains and we can drink that.

    This is exactly how it went down at OSL except for the difference between Mike's and Stone's side.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    Sweat it all out!
    (At these times I regret being one of the least sweaty people in the world, regardless of temperature.)

    Seriously though, its mind over matter. Dont think about it and you'll be right....

    Yeah, Stone's side in Perth was ok to go and then come back for only like..... less than 1 hr tops......BEFORE Liam came on, we would have had trouble getting back to our spots.....BUT seriously, there are so many people stressing about this, and IT"S NOT THAT HARD!!! Drink a fair bit of water (or whatever floats your boat), during the morning and whilst lining up....make friends with the people around you...don't be scared to talk to them and ask them to hold your spot in line while you go find a toilet......and GO LOTS !!!!! That way, once you are inside, you can get your spot, have a few sips of water once you start rocking out, and sweat lots......rehydrate with LITTLE sips....and you'll be fine until the end of the show.......

    Worked perfectly for us......

    Damm that sucks for you guys/gals to have to think about stuff like this before shows ,i'm sorry but that is one huge advantage you get with no GA shows you can party all the way up to show time and then pee if you have too and still rock your socks off ,enjoy the shows folks ....
