ElissaErased Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I go GA when I've gone to festivals and it's nuts, but so fun. I almost passed out while watching Paramore(my fault for being dehydrated) and people helped me immediately. Are you going alone or with friends/family?

Stellaris Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'm 5'3" and my main issues are breathing and damn crowd surfers, but I've always found pit people to be really helpful and nice. Yikes, what do you mean about breathing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going alone or with friends/family? well, my sister was nice enough to come along with me for one of the last shows, but I am sure that I am going to be the only one to go to this one; I can just hear it; AGAIN? YOU JUST SAW THEM TWICE TWO MONTHS AGO!!! so it just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElissaErased Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yikes, what do you mean about breathing? Sometimes it's hard to breathe. Everyone around me is usually a good 5-6 inches taller than me so it's hard to get fresh air. It's not terrible though, I promise. Do not let it deter you from going GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 my last two shows I had seats and I am contemplating getting GA seats, but I am nervous because I am only 5" tall, I would be stuck behind, amidst tall people and not see anything If you're going to a US gig I wouldn't worry too much: the floor is quite tame in the pushing and showing department. Just be at the barrier or hang back to the side and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebraE Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think I am only going to go to 1 here (there are 2), one is on a sat. night and it looks like its going to be difficult to get to the venue without driving there. there really isnt any good public transport there. but 3 concerts a year is better than none. I am crazy; never did this for any other band:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bib Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Aww. i would go. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy for wanting to go to more then one show(if they play 2 in FL) I have that problem too! My mom is like "You saw them less than a month ago, why see them again?" I can understand the breathing thing. Just getting smooshed against the barrier can make it hard but when all you smell is pot and smelly people, it can be a bit overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not terrible though, I promise. Do not let it deter you from going GA Good to know. I'm definitely going to go GA for both New York and New Jersey. And if they announce any other dates in the vicinity, I'll go to those too! My boyfriend also doesn't get why I want to go to two shows by the same band two nights in a row, but he's a good sport and will tag along with me to all the shows I want to see. I can't quite explain it, but I love this band like I've loved no other band before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boyfriend LOVES them almost as much as I do, so if they come to FL it'll be a blast! I really would love to go to some shows up north, hotels & such are expensive.

jimmyd93 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just wondering...Contacts or glasses better for the pit? If contacts, then I really need to get some ordered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boyfriend likes them, he's just not obsessed like I am . It's probably good that he'll be there in the pit with me too. Not sure I'd brave it on my own. If I had more money I'd follow them all over (and out of) the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaris Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just wondering...Contacts or glasses better for the pit? If contacts, then I really need to get some ordered Hmmm, another thing to worry about... I'm hoping I'll be fine with my glasses. I have contacts but they're a slightly outdated rx so I can't see as well with them as I can with my glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think I'll be fine with glasses, but if they get knocked off, then they'll almost certainly be lost forever...And the things cost a fortune!

Furygirl Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I was worried about the same thing with my glasses! If you're going to a gig in the U.S. I wouldn't fret about it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninsp Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Well the US shows are tame as far as aggressiveness goes but there is a lot of jumping and all around having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParentsForMuse Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi! My husband and I enjoyed Oakland a lot and are thinking of braving the floor for a closer look in Sacramento. In Oakland there are some over 40s, even over 50s fans in the seats, but the pit looks very young! How do 'older people' (in good shape) do in the pit? If we just want to be 4-5 rows back, toward the sides, do you think it will be much pushing/squishing? How many hours before doors open do we need to be in line in order to get 4th row-ish? Is 4pm wishful thinking? Sacramento is on a weekday so it may be easier to get close without investing 8 hours in line perhaps? Can you see okay even 10-15 rows back? From youtube videos, it seems like a lot of heads and arms in the way! Thanks a lot for any advice/opinions/expert knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizutsu Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Do people smoke in the pit at Muse concerts? I hate the smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Rabbit Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So...I had a seat for my first Muse concert in Oakland, and I ended up standing the entire time. I did get to meet a couple really cool .mu members in the seats. For Sacramento, I'll be trying for a GA ticket. It'll be nice to get to meet (more) of my fellow Musers.

I think she meant 'what's GA like at a gig in Australia?' I do know that ribs can be broken on the barrier at festivals like BDO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
