gocanux Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 just bumping cos I reck this should always be on the first page Should we lobby for it to be made a sticky? Seems there are already quite a few in the G&T area tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogette Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Perhaps we could have G&T FAQs? How to survive the pit, best camera for gigs, how early to queue for barrier/best seats in GA situations, what is the 'sexy plane' type stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaseyMarlena Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 okay i have GA tickets and since it will be during the week of spring break i will be able to get there pretty much as early as i want to. now... i want to be on the barrier..no questions asked..i figured it's my first muse concert i'm totally going all out..i want to be as prepared as i can so i've been reading up on the do's and don't's (which i appreciate thanks you guys!) but if i'm planning on being there in the morning to get a spot at the barrier what would be reasonable things to bring? i know i'll prob. need some sort of sack lunch, snacks, and maybe something soft to sit on? i dunno..if i'm going to be there for hours i want to be somewhat comfotable. i will also be there alone..at least until i can start chatting up my houston musers... so please bestow your wisdom on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you won't be alone, and whoever gets there first can save spaces for the others (see notes in this thread about saving spots, however!). If you have folks with you -- your new Muser friends -- then you can leave the queue to go to the loo and get food. Something soft to sit on is a good idea, but you might not have time to put it into your car before doors so make sure it's something you won't mind throwing away. A deck of cards is a great thing to bring, passes the time and fits in a pocket. Cash for junk food; you won't be getting merch until after the gig since you will be ensconced at the barrier. Get there early and have a great time! Prepare for the PMS (Post Muse Syndrome) and a lifetime of addiction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for food/drink etc.. drink plenty of water during the day and make sure you pee before going in.. the queue usually gets rowdy a couple of hours before doors open so I suggest getting that all done before that happens.

The place where my gig is has parking very close to the queuing area, so I'm figuring I can bring a folding chair maybe, and just put it back in my car an hour or so before doors open. If it's cold where you're gig is, you might consider one of those disposable mylar emergency blankets that you can ditch when you go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becca Of Cydonia Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey, glad you made this thread, very useful As you can guess, I'm a pit/GA n00b, and am actually quite worried about going to LCCC now Okay, I'm about 5:7 ish, so is my friend, I'm not very strong but my friend is, could you please tell me where the best place for us to stand is?

Are you actually 13, because as far as I know you have to be 16+ (in most places) to have access to the pit/GA. I think you'll be alright if you are with an adult though. Also, if you don't think you can handle the crush but want to be closer to the barrier I'd head to Chris' side as it's usually more chilled there.

For Wembley and the LCCC, you have to be 14, and with an adult, and I'll be 14 then. My friend's mum is coming with us. Okay, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seregon Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 seriously? what places have you been where thats a rule? Pretty much every venue here if you're under 16 it's advised you have an adult with you, I think it only applies if you obviously look very young and are on your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
