What time to arrive for queuing for standing?

Hi fellow Musers!

 

I'm attending tomorrow night at the Manchester Arena and wanted to know what everyones' experiences of queuing were like for standing?

 

Did anyone go down early to their UK gig? And what were the queues like at time of arrival? I want to get as close to the front as possible!

 

Thanks!!

I started queuing for Dublin at 9am and was number 13 at my entrance (there were two). I got to Belfast at 2:30pm and there were 31, but only one entrance. The terrible weather was also a contributing factor. Both nights I was on the barrier. One of my friends showed up to Belfast at 4:30pm and also ended up on the barrier beside me.

 

It's worth noting that at Belfast the entrance was at the end of one of the catwalks and everyone went left when they got in. We went right and even an hour after doors opened you could have just walked up to the row behind us.

 

Basically, there's no definitive answer.

Yeah it's a tricky one. At Morrissey we queued from 2pm, and our friend arrived later at 8pm as it was started and ended up next to us!

 

Thanks for the rough idea of numbers though!

Went to Brum last week, got there at 5pm and still got centre circle barrier, it was sunny and pretty warm too. Not worth getting there at silly o'clock imo!!

There is already a Manchester gig thread where you can ask any questions about that gig so no need for a separate thread.

 

Locking this.
