ty...what bout food and bathroom lol

that can be tricky, I tend to eat only small amount while outside waiting in line, I fill up on fluids early in the day, and hopefully by a few hours before entrance you have made many a new friend in line and you go for the bathroom break, after that I don't drink a whole lot and what I do, is just enough to stay hydrated, as you sweat out ALOT being in GA close quarters!

Trying to leave your spot once established inside and make it back to that same spot is generally impossible! No matter if you are telling truth or not, people tend to not let anyone back up in front of them, its a bit frustrating, but if you make friends SOMETIMES you can get back, otherwise holding it is about the only option you have!

Thats how I have always done it and it worked well for me, but each show and each crowd a bit different......my best advice is if you are GA and get in early and get up close to stage or even "catwalk" area do NOT leave!!!

So what time would you recommend getting in the queue? 2 hours early? Thanks for any help

Hey Folks, Ive been reading this post from the begginning and i'm struggling to find out whether normal GA's will get you into a special zone at the front of the stage if you're early.

Does anyone know of somebody who's been to a gig on the uk leg and got into this so called circle at the front by just getting there early and running to be one of the first?

I'm going the sheffield gig and want to know if its worth getting there early get into the circle and then happy days. During the elevation tour i did the same and fortunately got into the heart and they had special toilets we could use (and wristbands) so you could still get back into the heart!!!! Just hope they are doing the same this time round.....
