JacksSmirkingR3venge Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I still need to get my plane ticket back here. Where you coming from?

JacksSmirkingR3venge Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Dallas, Texas. Dedicated That is PLENTY soon enough! At the Mariner's show, I got there at eleven and still got a really good spot at barrier. It also depends on the length of the barrier, y'know? But tbh, don't worry about it... I was standing next to a guy who got there at like, noon! I think the only reason you might want to get there a tad bit early is if you want to secure a spot in front of Matt, Hmm. I might just start queuing at 9 or 10 then The later the better. Maybe 9:30. Haha I don't know, first time queuing. I'm a bit of a noob with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iburnslikethesun Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hey everyone! I haven't posted anything for MONTHS since I saw Muse in Baltimore/Fairfax. I'm now finally ready to get stoked about Charlottesville! Anyone know of good hotels there? This time we will be bringing our two oldest to their very first concert ever! Only appropriate they see MUSE! We are jokingly calling it a "Muse-cation". Got seats this time. I HOPE we don't get seat potatoes... I'm liking Metric... SSP were alright. The kids are loving both bands, so this will be a great night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have a Hampton Inn nearby (which me and my family will be staying in) and a few others that seem pretty nice. Other people could probably give you a better idea of what's around. Haha I know absolutely nothing about the surroundings of the arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iburnslikethesun Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Did you get your tickets from Concert Maps or just now purchased them? Still haven't received ours, but usually Concert Maps do not put them out until a couple weeks before a gig. How has seats and who has pit? I usually get the pit, but because of the kiddos, seats are necessity... and I can finally enjoy a drink during the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iburnslikethesun Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 i has ga . your kids are coming? Yuppers. They are so excited. We are already looking at good quality ear plugs for them. They are old enough now to go. They LOVE Muse! (Hey, gotta raise them right). They really like Metric too, so this will be a double whammy. I'm excited for them! It is my duty as a parent that if they are to rock out, you have do it properly. I will also show them how not to be a seat potato! Our seats are on Matt's side and very close! We are in section 114 and 3 or 4 rows up. Still waiting for our tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iburnslikethesun Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Pit for me! Me and my mom will be dead in line because we will be coming from the Raleigh show! A: Wear gel inserts in shoes and have a new pair for each gig. Feet will be happy. B: Drink LOTS of fluids C: Get compression socks to help with circulation (or "sheer energy" hose) in legs D: You'll be so pumped, your tiredness will be overcome by excitement! I don't know about Charlottesville, but some venues let you sit in line, others force those waiting to stand the entire time because of the turn on bouncers get to torture us. They let us finally sit down once we got inside at Fairfax and "staked" our claim on the floor. Las Vegas, we had to stand and stand again inside. Of course, I was at the barrier and didn't want to give that up easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinbaby Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I don't suppose anyone has an extra GA ticket? I'm quite literally interviewing people who want to queue with me in the morning. I think I've finally got someone who's really up for it, but he needs an extra ticket . Can't wait to meet everyone! especially you awesome ones coming with fams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even going to bring a chair. I've only done this once before (Atlanta) and it was cake. We had it so easy there, I am not sure if I'm prepared well enough for Raleigh and Charlottesville!

Of course, I was at the barrier and didn't want to give that up easily! They had the same security guys at Fairfax as they had in Baltimore and they did that there too. I thought it was great because you could actually leave your barrier spot to go to the toilet or buy merch and get right back in your spot where you were before it started! I was wondering this...if anybody has been here for a concert before and if there was one main entrance or more than one to go in for the GA area?
