    My number is 954.298.5171 Steve. My wife and I are up for sharing a ride to get the rail from Riazor to the venue. Let's do it! We don't get in until Friday night around 11:00pm but will sleep on the flight out and will be ready to go! Please contact me to iron out details. Thanks

    Maybe a list is not the best idea. I am all for a small group of people for safety and motivation, but selfishly the point of this is to get on the rail. If we are waking up at the crack of dawn for a very few spots on a rail already possibly contending with a huge crowd of people sprinting into a venue filled with thousands of people. Though I would prefer it would be us from the message board that are there, we don't have to promote that we have a definitive start time with a large group so then others that may not have been motivated to do so arrive as well.

    Just my selfish thoughts on the matter.

    I understand. I went to this concert at the same venue in 2011 and the rail is very large. Also, the Pearl Jam has a strict "no sprinting" policy once gets open. If you are caught running you will be sent to the back of the line.

    I heard it was 5am in Rio to get on the rail. I will need a little push to do something like this, but I'm open.

    Consider yourself pushed. Do we even know if Foro Sol will let us lineup that early? Is there a way to find out?

    I'm getting in Friday morning. How's everyone getting to their hotel from airport? Staying at Hotel Astor in La Reforma area. Are cameras allowed? I'm pretty sure I saw no cameras on tickets.

    Not sure about cameras. As usual I'm sure they are really only looking out for "professional" cameras. My friend who lives in Mexico City says to look for the "Taxis Excellencia" booth and use them.

    Ten474- I'm flying out of LA tomorrow myself on United 274. Meeting my brother at the Mex City airport on arrival. He's coming in from SD. We are definitely interested in getting on the rail. Just looking for some "group" motivation like I think you are suggesting. Call or text me at 310-930-8638

    Also on 247 at 8:30-am. Maybe we'll see you in the morning. Can't wait
