Bill Graham Civic Auditorium Question

Bezo

Going to the show tomorrow (7/16) and wanted to get some advice from anyone who went to the show tonight (7/15). I've never been to the Civic and wanted to know if anyone has advice on getting a good spot?

1) Get there early
2) Go straight to the floor (i.e. do detour to the washroom or merch stands)

Yeah make sure you get there early so you can get in and get a good spot. They made us sit on the floor after picking a spot, if you have friends have them save your sitting spot and the run to the bathroom.

DO NOT show up late and expect to be able to move up in the crowd. Once the show started I didn't see a single person move up at all. Also there was a divider right down the middle of the stage into the crowd. I was right up on that rail the whole night. Very very good time!

I got in line about six o'clock. took a piss when I got in. got a beer before sonic youth. took another piss after sonic youth.

still got a decent spot.

I suppose it all depends on what you mean by decent. if you want to be in stone's crotch, by all means, show up at 10 a.m. otherwise, just get there at a reasonable hour and you'll be able to get relatively close and see fine.

we got in line at 4pm and were about 3rd row.

was a bit rough on the floor. a number of idiots were moshing and pushing etc. I eventually took my 15 yo and moved back to the side. I agree with the previous post. Once you get close to show time, do not leave your spot, you won't get back
