THE LINE & "THE LIST"

Being from the old school line system (every man for himself), and after reading this thread, I'm more convinced a list could work. A good system, list or not, only works if EVERYONE agrees on said system, abides by the rules, and isn't a dick.

It could be as simple as showing up, placing your name on the list, getting a number and/or wristband and going about enjoying the many pre-parties or hanging with friends, then queueing up again when it's time. Sounds like a wonderfully relaxing and fun way of getting all the GA peeps on their little piece of earth. In other words, maybe a little peace on earth = a nice piece of earth and everyone happy.

Or am I just too Utopian? :roll:

yep..with list working better,,sad but true....would be better if people was honest and respect eachother but aint gonna happen....the good part we have at Europe is we are almost the same fuckers at 10c gate and we know eachother very well..so isnt easy the cheating..

Yeah, but how many people are going to be huge dicks? 10? 20? It's not like there are droves of dicks around. Just a few. I figure the people there give the dicks they see a few shaming words, and then just let it go. Let them be dicks and karma will get them. I don't think those few people are a good reason to make the whole thing unpleasant and physically uncomfortable for everyone. As I say, everyone should just chillax and stick with the list. A few assholes getting closer to the front is a small price to pay for not having to stay in the hell of an all day line up in 100 degree weather.

i cant count the dicks,except if they are italians..

I have had the pleasure to be in lines with a perfectly run list.
I have had the anxiety of being in a line with a Nazi run list.
I have been the one to run the list on a few occasions.
I like the list, when it is done properly. And the list can only be done properly, if people aren't fukn dicks (and that isn't just referring to the list runners, but to every m*ther f-er in the 10C GA area throughout the day.)
Problem is some people are DICKS!


Someone stated that in MT security didn't help with the line - Well, I was with MT security and the venue manager when they walked through the line with me to try to organise everyone after they had picked up their tickets.
At about 150-200 person in the line, there was approximately 10 people that weren't in the correct spot and wouldn't move. That was the only real issue. Of 300-400 people for 10 people to be being dicks, I think is ok and we just have to go "Well, fuk you sir, I will elbow you later in the pit!"


I don't think people should disappear for more than 45mins at a time.
My experience in lines has been that I would take 10 minute food and toilet breaks at points throughout the day and then at about 5pm I would go to my hotel and shower and change. This seems logical to me and even courteous to the other people in the line.

This sounds like a load of not-fun shit, lists, lines,etc. GA is cool, but nothing like the convenience of seats to avoid all this. The line thing sounds like it would really cut into drinking time.

I've heard the Italians really love the Dicks

Bottom line... as someone else already stated... we are all adults here.
Do we REALLY need to come up with a Third Grade exercise in how common courtesy works? Do we REALLY needs lists or lotteries or wristbands or police to tell us what we already SHOULD know... that being, 'It is NOT all about ME'?
Just take your fucking place at the end of the line when you show up... like a normal fucking person. And i get it... there are acceptable circumstances. Like, you can drop off your passengers to get in line while you drive to park the car and meet up with them... people understand that. And it's okay for you to hold that spot for your one or two friends who are stuck in traffic... we get it and we understand that.
It's the person who thinks they should let 137 of their closest Facebook 'friends' and all of their Facebook 'friends' in the one spot they occupy. If you want to hang with your friends, fine... go back to where they are, don't shoehorn them into the front, where you are.
...
To me... it's pretty fucking simple. You park the car, walk up to the venue and locate the end of the line. That's all it takes.

Stuck in traffic...seems too problematic...what if they're "stuck in traffic" but are five hours away? :nono:

How is the starting time for a list determined?

That's the thing...with Chicago PD running around, it'll most likely be whenever they decide to let people stop loitering.
