    My buddy has GA and said he's about 40 back. Not sure what the line is like. Might stroll by on my lunch break.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Have they confirmed they are doing the wristband drawing so people don't have to wait there all day?

    What is the wristband process?
  • animusanimus Posts: 530
    Was just around there a half hour ago and it was easily under 100 people. Merch was maybe 2-3x that

    This has been the case for a while. You can go at 2pm and be 2nd row, and also be shut out on merch, crazy.

    The GA line was definitely smaller in Nashville.  I was shocked.

    You know why? Because you can’t make money off being 2nd row. Flippers gonna flip!

    I'm driving over tomorrow for the Saturday show.   Which side of the arena did the GA line form?   By the sounds of it, I'm going to be way early for the GA line.  I was planning on an overnight stay.   I've never done a PJ GA line before so I have no idea what I'm doing in terms of arrival time.....lol.

    My buddy has been there all day and since he arrived early this morning, there's maybe only another 40 people behind him. That was as of 230. Line was forming on the west side of Xcel off of Kellogg Blvd. Pretty small compared to the Merch line.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I walked in at 6:15 p.m. at shows last year and would end up dead-center, five people back from the rail.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Yeah, I think that's the sweet spot for most shows. If you're in the building that first half hour after doors open, you're pretty good.

    what time are they letting GA in?

    Any shade for ga or merch lines? Saturday is looking to be a warm one.
    There's a trapdoor in the sun.

    There are some sapling like12 ft. trees on the GA line side every 10 feet or so. They aren't much, but my buddy was next to one at 200pm today and it was providing shade. Not much otherwise. That side of the venue will be scorching hot by midday on Saturday exposed to the sun as it climbs high and westward..

    There was a slight incident not involving PJ fans that occurred while I was there around 200pm where a woman decided to get fully naked and started yelling some incoherent statements directly behind where I was talking with my friend while they were in line. Police and EMS showed up and took her away. A very sad situation that was handled well by police, security staff and EMS. She did not go willingly.

    It's the calculus of showing up 5 hours earlier to be 50 ft closer not being worth it

    Yeah, those people need help. Not sure why anyone would record another person's mental health breakdown. That's the kind of stuff that makes me mad.
