From my experience... Lists tend to bring out the Nazi in otherwise sane people. The person who creates the list turns into fucking Adoph Listler and puts down their friends names on the list. You may count 55 people ahead of you 2 hours before the doors open, but 20 minutes before they open, you are now 243rd in line.
The best thing is to just get there... sit on the sidewalk and make friends with the people around you. If you have to get up an take a leak, the people around you will let you, just as you would let them. If you need to get up an walk around... cool, get up and walk around, stand in the shade for a bit, have a smoke... whatever.
Anyway... from my personal experiences... the lists are for the control freak Nazis.

seriously dude,i dont know you,or ever met you,but i really believe your posts are the most smart comments in the forum...i hope i meet you one day,,will be an honor to shake your hand..

Yep, I'm the same. I've had the joy of being right up front and all that that entails with guitar pics, drumsticks and tambourines. I just feel bad for those that are going to come down early to wait all day with the dream of the same, but aren't going to see it come to being due to the possible abuses of "The list". This Wrigley show really is a unique opportunity in the US for up-close and rail dreams. In London, all can come anytime they please as all will have their assigned seat ticket. The opportunity happens with festivals as a bunch got to experience last year in Philly and other places. The dates this fall will most likely not include GA, minus New Orleans.

Tambourines? Hahahaha please someone post that Willy Wonka picture

People need to make a choice: wait in line all day to get close to the stage or attend the parties.

This!

A list can work to a degree in the early stages until the official queuing system (barriers/line) is set up by on site security. Do people abuse it? Hell yes. Would people abuse a non-list line and go and sneak in line with 'their friends', of course (I've seen this happen so many times at other gigs - you're maybe 20th in line, by doors you're pushed back to 50+).

When we queue, we wait in line. If one of us needs the bathroom, one of us will go and come straight back. If we need food we'll either bring it with us or one of us will nip out to the nearest shop and bring the food back to the line. 99% of the time there'll always be one of us in line - no beers, no bars.

We've met some really great people in PJ lines, we've also seen people who will turn whatever queuing situation to their advantage. No matter what "system" (or lack of) is in place, there will be those people who abuse it to their advantage. It's shit, it shouldn't happen, but it will!

List lines, non-list lines and life in general would work great if everyone was fair and respectful. Unfortunately, that's not the reality.

Haha, that's true. Very well put into words. :corn:

But then the 10C "fans" who have waited all day in front still just stand there with their fucking backpacks on, taking pics of Eddie and looking at their taken pictures all through the concert and only looks up when Eddie is coming over or they play a "rare" song.

Experienced that in Sthlm. Fuck those people. Fuck them more than the pushing "casuals" or the stupid flags. Your not collectiong rare Hockey cards, enjoy the show instead of crossing of all the Crown of thorns and All those yesterdays from your rare-song list.

Hehehe, you should be scared of Ed if you plan to be close to the stage and not rocking. I am still planning to get that Vancouver boot where Ed was kicking the people at front for not rocking hard enough. Just to hear that one.:)
