Where is the main entrance of the ACC Toronto? Update! Not in front of main entrance?

I'm already here. Nobody around. Even the security guard doesn't know where the main entrance is. He let me inside the ACC.

Do I wait on Bay Street next to the GA folks?
Or wait on the other side of the ACC on York Street by the ticket booth?

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Ps... it's warm and there's chairs inside the ACC. Sweet!

    The main entrance is in the foyer across from the box office, pretty difficult to miss. This isn't NYC, you could have shown up at 7am and still been 1st in the merch line if that was the plan.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I usually wake up at 4am for work each day. This is nothing.

    It's so warm inside the ACC. Relaxing with my coffee. Everyone outside in GA are freezing. There are chairs in here and TV. The doors are open. It's pretty comfy in here.

    The official ACC website says, Bay Street. Which isn't located by the tickets.

    The tickets is on York Street.

    At 5am they are. I'm having a relaxing time here. Glad I'm not outside in the cold.

    I'm happy for you, D, enjoy the show!

    ps: ..if you were here in Italy you would not have to worry about the cold, this time of the year and already is too much hot for my tastes. I wish I was in Canada with my ass in the snow to see PJ , too!

    Thanks! There's no snow unfortunately. Would of been an intense scene for those waiting outside in GA.

    Wonder how they will organize this line. I'm inside the ACC, right in the front of locked main entrance clear doors. Sucks for those in GA waiting in the cold. They could f brought them inside for a few hours. There isn't a lot of folks outside on Bay Street.

    Yep. The sun is up. There wasn't many waiting in the GA line. For those who wanna be close, best to come down now and wait.

    A women and many security guards came out from the main entrance and said the merch tent will be outside on Bay Street, across the street.... across... the... Street. Does this make sense.

    The only outside place that makes sense is maple leaf square

    Just talked to a friend here who was first at the Ottawa merch. She said in Toronto there won't be any tents. This is what Tim, head of merchandise said. It will be inside the ACC. Not outside.

    Seems odd. They had a tent/ table outside that main entrance in 2011.

    It was Tim and another fellow. One who is bald, with the goatee. Rats on his sleeve. It's the end of the tent / outside. Merch will be happening inside. There 2 here now waiting close by. And others walking around not knowing where to line up at, because this woman keeps telling them merch will be set up across the street of Bay Street. :/
