jaelu Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 oh re: the cold-queue-from-hell, Internet says it was in the high 20s F / -6s C in Detroit on March 2nd 2013. it will be colder tomorrow and there will be no wall or building behind you or a roof above you for the UC (again you probably already know this).

gesselleg Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I hope you can too! you'll have a fabulous time and any suffering during the cold ass queue will be forgotten. I do hope the thing with your dad works out. there have been some prior UC queue experiences discussed elsewhere on the board. it might help your planning with pop. (although I might not realize you are already a queuing veteran for the UC from other gigs) go back to class! you'll get your phone confiscated I read the other post you made and damn was it cold. I'm scared for it haha and I've actually never had general admission tickets so don't know anything. Thanks for the tips! I know it will be a grand ol' freaking time. I wish I knew how to drive and could have a car there even though I do live 15 minutes away (driving) so I could put my stuff away instead of bothering my dad. Cps sucks so my teachers don't care if I'm on my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaelu Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 might have seen this already, but just in case if you're looking for GA and queuing info from some very experienced goers, I recommend the thread below, has some really helpful info including what @fluorescentadolescent just mentioned about a chair and bringing things to keep yourself occupied GA pit vs seated what to expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverMuser Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 My friend and I are going and will be in the 300's. We're planning on getting there around an hour before doors open. Are the seats good enough to keep a coat on? I'd rather wear one layer under a heavy jacket than hope I don't sweat to death inside because of too many layers.

(really irritated at myself for not getting GA in time, oh well) it's been a while, but I would be in those seats for a couple of Blackhawks games so maybe this will help: I think it can be chilly for some people in the 300s. if you're normally someone who is cold all the time and always wants the thermostat turned up past 72 F, you might be ok with your coat on - unless you know you're going to be getting a lot of aerobic excercise from jumping around and warm up that way. that's just been my experience, and I tend to prefer it at 67 or the most 68 F because I get warm too easily. I'll sweat sitting in a room that's upwards of 70-72. the ice is most likely under the flooring, during hockey it might have been chillier in the UC because the ice was uncovered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conforming-on-a-monday Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Does anyone have any idea how early the merch table will be open?? I have reserved tix at will-call, and last I checked doors opened at six, but I'm coming down from Milwaukee so I'm not even sure when I should head down to begin with...esp. if there isn't anything to do in the area.

jaelu Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 not to raise any gig anxiety, just an FYI there are a few people queuing for UC. I would die in these conditions. I would need to hire an assistant to aid me if I had to queue today. they would run for warmers for me, hold my place in line for half the time, generally be my pseudo-slave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Stay Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Have fun! It would be great to see you at a Muse gig again, but Chicago in January is not my idea of fun. Plus it's pricey for flights, hotel, etc; and we are already going to Vegas, San Diego, and LA x 2! I'll spend the $ for a bit of sunshine! You may like the warm ocean breeze but I'm all about that frigid lake breeze. I look forward to that moment when I'll get off the Green Line. The lingering smell of urine turns into the frigid breeze and a slight smell of what seems to be a hint of vinegar. I ease my worries at a local watering hole. I wake up the next morning forgetting I even saw Muse at the United Center. Sincerely, the Chicago Experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conforming-on-a-monday Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 On that note, does anyone know when the will call office will be open? I don't want to have to wait forever to get my tickets in a long line (Last I checked people who did GA also have to go to Will Call?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trakis Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I posted this on reddit, but there isn't any coat check. So for us floor seat guys, it's either mosh in your jacket, or don't bring one.
