I'm thinking of making a special trip for this show...

does anyone reading this know this venue? If I go GA-A, which is the front floor section, is that area somehow separated from the rest of the floor (GA-B), and does that give any protection regarding how crowded it gets?

On the Foro Sol seating chart, it looks like the GA-A section is fairly small, so I'm thinking, if I have a ticket for that section, then the worst I can end up (given that I'm not prepared to arrive days early and wait outside to be among the first ones in) is at the back of that section, which appears still to be fairly close (I mean, less than halfway back on the floor). Is that right?

  • Well man I'm form Mexico and I can answer these questions:

    1) There is a division between GA-A and GA-B, no matter of the crowd (imagine a metallica concert, completely full but still, there was a fine division).

    2) indeed, GA-A is small, but you don't need to arrive earlier to cath a good spot. You'll find that form almost every point of this area you will see perfectly.

    Hope you'll enjoy the show!

  • Hello jammers,

    LadydocNYC: are you travelling from NYC? I know I will.

    ernstomar82: Were you there for Metallica or Iron Maiden? I want to have an idea about people waiting in line for the show since it is general admission. A good spot is not good enough, I want front row against the barrier ;) but I don't think it will be easy :s what do you think about that?

    I got one GA B if interested
    until next time......
  • I'm staying at the near by hotel Grand Prix, for the night of the show.

    http://www.hotelgrandprix.com.mx/

    It is the closest to the venue since it is across the street. I believe that fans from afar will either stay there or by the airport since it is about 2 miles from the venue.

    Jamm on!

    I will put in all the time and effort to be as close to the facemelting as possible but i would not arrive until the day of the show. The crazy locals will be camping out for days. Now Costa Rica is a different story because I will be there days in advance, have a tent handy and be staying close to see when the line starts to form. I'm going to make it fucking happen!
