What have the GA lines been like so far this tour? How early have people been getting there?

I heard people started lining up FRIDAY morning for the Saturday Greenville show? That's some serious commitment lol. I've got Hampton GA and I'm trying to figure out when I wanna get in line... It's my birthday show so I wanna be close :-P

    It varies obviously. I was on the rail in Greenville. This was my observation. If you really want rail you should get there pre dawn latest. If you don't mind 3-4 rows back come around 12-2. If you don't mind 5-8 rows get there right when you get your tickets. After that just walk in when the doors open and be 20 feet behind the people who waited all day. That said rail was worth the wait for me. I had an amazing night

    Yup, it's true. I drove by at 3pm today and there were about 15 people camped out with tents and chairs and blow up mattresses!

    Awww I don't think that's it. I think it's a fun idea to camp out and get front row! It's great weather so what's the harm ya know? It's like a once in a lifetime thing to get front row and if you've got the time, why not?

    When I was growing up, pre Internet ticket sales, we camped out at ticket locations to try and buy front row tickets. Seems kind of like the same thing to me. Got to see some pretty cool bands up close growing up. This actually seems a little easier for folks. I've also witnessed some abusers of common courtesy back then, same as now. I don't really think anything has changed all that much at all.

    For Greenville I went in at 7pm and we were in between ed and stone (closer to stone) about 10 people back or so. For me that worked out great. I got to hang out in the afternoon with some friends and I felt like i was pretty close to the stage.

    It would be wild to be on the rail. I just don't think i have that commitment.

    I had GA for Cincy a few years back. Went in to show around 730 and stood on Stone's side about 15 people back.

    I wouldn't mind being on the rail but I like to drink a few beers and use the restroom.

    Anyone have any insight on GA lines for the Toronto shows? I don't need to be rail but would like to at least be first 10 rows or so? Should i get there early or will the trend hold true?
