Always wanted to get on the rail. Anyone have any insight on how soon you have to get in line? Does the venue announce where the GA entrance is ahead of time?

    I would say to get there early the day before. There may be a few people who will start lining up two days early - but if you get there early the day before you have a decent shot at rail. When you get there look for the tents. That will be where the GA line is.

    You speaking from experience? A day before really necessary?

    Yes. It varies from show to show, but you will most likely have to camp out the night before to get rail.

    I’ve been lined up since the last ATL show in 2012. 🤣

    Yes, I am speaking from experience. I have been on the rail many times and have had to camp out at least one night. And if the band plays two nights in one city, many people will leave the first show and go right to the GA line for the second show. For example, for Philly2, I camped out 2 nights for rail. But it is really fun. Just bring a tent and make friends. I always have a good time. However, if you get in line early the day of the show, you could easily get in the second or third row - it is just rail that is more difficult. Or if you get lucky you could get the very sides of the rail without camping out - but that is a risk.

    So you’re saying it won’t make much of a difference if I fly in at 9 versus 11a on the day of the show? Maybe a little closer to the stage but no rail. 👍🏼

    Right. If you are planning on arriving day of show there is little to no chance of rail. Even some people who don’t camp show up before dawn on day of show. But if you show up early in the day you may get second or third row. It’s hard to predict. The earlier the better, obviously.
