The stress of reading these posts is just so bothersome. Holding your breath to get lotto tickets. Then holding your breath in the miles long merch lines. Or spending the night in a GA for a chance at the rail or trusting the lines stay in first-come. It's just so sad so much stress goes into a rock concert.
But this is self-initiated stress. You could just get your tix and go into the show right before start time. You want to get as close as possible, well there is an additional amount of stress involved with that.
The build up of getting to the rail or scoring the next "Donkey Kong" is what causes the stress.
I can only speak for myself, but I had a great time in Lexington. Explored the city, visited some distilleries, and met some great people. And the kicker was my wife and I enjoyed another kick ass PJ show without worrying about any lines. It's a rock show, not antique roadshow, get out of the lines people.
Well that's not entirely true...I did wait a moment or two for a beer at Rupp.
yeah. i had given up on getting a poster by this show. made it much more enjoyable. if only the aisles were wider.

I don't do posters and only buy reserved seating. I do hate it for those who work so hard to get posters, the rail, etc. I don't relate at all but I hate it. Except for the flippers. Fuck the flippers.

I used to stand in line for a shirt but gave up on it all because I wasted hours doing so and could have been enjoying meeting new people or enjoying the city. I had never been to Lexington and didn't even think twice about skipping getting a shirt
Bought a poster on eBay this weekend. It was a classic show and poster and I had to have one. Definitely near the top for me. Not sure if anything will ever top Moline!
