I've done rail about 4 times, and for me it is overrated.  I'm not interested in getting a tambourine or guitar picks anymore, or trying to get a wave from the band.  So put me with a group of friends in GA anywhere in the first twenty "rows" and it will be a great time.  Front row is cool, but the wait is not worth it in my opinion. 

Good luck!

That said I'm sure you're glad you have those experiences under your belt

Yes, it was definitely a memorable time.  Would I line up at 7am for it?  Sure if other friends were with me.  Would I line up 3 days for it, or at 7am to be 3-4 rows deep?  No.

This is our first PJ concert and we scored GA tickets.  When does the line usually form?  Any advice for us newbees?  Are we talking overnight?  It the line chaotic?  Thanks for your wisdom.

What is your desired spot in GA?  Front row?  First five rows? 

Hoping for front row, will probably get there around 6 in the morning the day of.  Will it be possible?

I'm not an expert but I don't know if that will get you a rail spot for these shows

If I Camp out the night before and get there at 10:30 the night of August 7th, would that get me front row?

My brother and I got in line at 6am in Krakow.. We were about 80th in line.. The stage and floor was really wide.. We made the rail Stones side, right in front of the speakers, but with a clear view of everyone except Boom.. This was our view

I made the rail in front of Stone about where u were in Greenville a couple years ago and we didn’t walk into the venue until about 6:00PM. Everyone was jammed towards the middle when we walked down to the floor. Most shows I’ve been to in the states, I’ve been able to walk in around 6:00PM and still only be about 3-5 people back from the rail on Mikes side, although it’s diffferent for the larger stadium shows. That’s why I’ll never wait in line all day just to gain literally about five more feet. 

Like with the merch, it seems to have gotten crazier in the last few tours.. About 75 people slept outside the venue.. 

What Merch? Tell me about it. (Newbie obviously)

People go nuts for poster, pins, stickers and other show specific items.. There's been some crazy merch lines this euro tour and lots of stuff that sold out within minutes

I think that the guy in the LP2 video was in line for 4 days.  (That was for Wrigley 2016.)

As I said in your other thread, I dont believe 10:30 the night before does it either any more.

Now, he may have been there four days, but do we know how many days he was in line by himself?   2 days may have still got you front row.
