    This year's show at MSG will be my first Pearl Jam concert (and my first concert in a long time). I am so excited to see the band and be with everyone who will be there. I can't wait for March.
    First time at MSG as well?

    Last call at 4am. Probably toss you out around 4:30. Fill up on some pizza or hit a diner. Head to train station.

    Have you read any of the euro line policy threads?
    Letting fans police is often a poor thing.  Lots of selfish aholes out there.  Hope none of the stuff flies, here.
    I've never been to a show outside the US, so no.
    But I've been to numerous here, specifically PJ.  Trust me, there will be people at every single venue who will keep the line in check.  Again, venues often have policies in place stating you can't line up before a certain time.  The PJ line will already be formed well in advance of that time, count on it.

    Getting rail to a PJ show nowadays means you are waiting a minimum of 24 hours in line, often more.  Some of the 2020 midwest leg shows may be a tad different, but the commitment of people is insane since about the 2013 tour.  Fewer shows has meant much stronger demand, and much longer waits in the GA lines.

    I know people here who pre-party with the rest of us and then head over, hop into line, and get right up front.  Would never narc them out but I am 100% certain this happened last tour.  It could be that some of those policing are OK with saving spots w/friends.

    I have no dog in the fight since I like to mingle with other fans/friends and then go and grab my seat...but I do hope that those who put in the time to wait get priority as only seems fair.  Be good to each other!
