Huh. Well, I just heard a good bit of advice from a friend of mine today:
When the band comes on, and you are realtively close to the stage, most people will immediately cluster around the center...your best bet for the front row next to camping out would be to find a hole along the sides and make your move!!

Wow this whole thread is scaring the shit outa me! I don't even know when mcr are coming here (although its rumoured to be November) but it wont be like that here in Australia right? I mean with people waiting for the ENTIRE day? Because I can almost guarentee that I would find NOONE that would cue with me and I wouldn't be allowed to alone...then again I will be 18 by then...but I am really bad at pushing into the pits at shows! Somehow I manage to get in pretty far most times but I have never been to the barrier coz I feel so damn rude when I push people! I mean unless they are pushing me... -whimpers- god I hope I can get in...then again I have like 9 months before I need to worry...maybe I should relax

Eh when MCR are at stake I will probably get over the feeling rude thing and just turn into a monster...lets hope

Wow, this whole thing is starting to get me really nervous! I'm going to the Detroit show in 2 days and I was planning on getting there at 11am, but now I'm starting to think that might be too late. I'm not a pusher. At ALL. Plus, I'm taking my 12 year old little sister. What do you guys think?
Sooooooooo nervous!!!!!!!

don't be nervous really, cause you want to enjoy the day!! not be worried about it Smile.
just get there as early as you think is necessary. maybe make friends with the people who queue next to you and see if they can look out for you during the show.
when you get into the venue, don't go into the middle!
loads of people always just flock to the middle and i never understand why.
go to either the right or the left. and try to get as far forward as you can during the breaks and the support, which will hopefully get you a good position when mcr come on.
the people at the front get it easy! being five or so rows back, anywhere near the middle will mean you're probably going to get pushed about.
oh, and if it's really rough during the support, don't worry too much!
when i went to see them, during the support and the break, i thought i was going to collapse in the middle of the crowd [i was like 3 or 4 rows from the front] but i wanted to see if i could stick it out so i could be close when mcr came on and it was far better during mcr's set. people didn't push so much, it was just very tightly packed and i felt tired.

but really, don't be scared!! heh.
i don't like being in the moshes either, but don't let people walk all over you! if someone is trying to push into your place, or hits you, push them right back so they know you're not going to let them mess with you Smile.

^Thanks very much! I feel better now...I never considered where I would head once in the venue, but what you said makes sense. I think I'll head to the left...where Frank is. Wink
I'll do my best to be tough! lol.

yea, but they want a good spot so they're asking for advice on what time they could arrive where there won't be so much people.

A couple of questions and comments..

I went to see Lostprophets in July last year at the CIA...and I got there about...15 minutes before the doors opened and i was right at the back of the queue and i managed to get about...4 rows from the front. So sometimes you don't need to be there early...and i didnt' exactly push...that much ^_^

another thing

I'm going to see MCR tonight at Brighton...and I have seats on the balcony...2nd row from the front so im pretty pleased with that..but...people arent just gonna grab any seat are they? cus i WANT that second row seat i have got thank you very much.

Oh and...also cus ill be arriving after doors have opened im worried bout the fact ill only end up with like a back row corner seat or something crap like that -.-

so yeah.

=\

meh

If you want front row.....I dunno It doesn't matter to me...the one I went to started at 7:30...doros opened at 6:30...I got there at 6, and still got pretty close to the front......although with some pushing...I got about 3-4 people from the front....I was like 20 feet away from Frank! Wow Hehehe

ALthough I wish I'd gotten there earlier, because I heard Mikey and Alicia went to Target during the day....hahaha
