I'm seeing Evanescence there on the 20th November *trys not to jump around and get excited again* :hyper:
Anyways, I wanna be right right right near the front, as in, by the barrier at the front if poss.
Basically, the doors open at 7pm. I'm willing to wait ages but like, I am not quite sure how long I will need to wait. What time would you guys suggest I start to queue up?
The tickets are all sold out so like, its gonna be busy.
Also, for those who know the area, is there like any nearby places to like go the toilet and stuff (as stupid as that sounds) as I really don't think I'm gonna be able to go hours waiting in the queue without going. HAHA. I'll have to get the person I'm going with to save my place whilst I go.
Any replies would be appreciated.

My friend suggested wearing a nappy. Oh dear.
Depends how spod-tastic Evanescence fans are really.
I'm fairly sure there are a few pubs that you can nash into if you're deperate for the loo.
One person told me I should queue up between 3pm-4pm.
Probably but you have to bear in mind that you'll likely be on your feet at least 6 hours straight if you get there around 4pm. Loud gigs aren't much fun if you're knackered.
I've never been that fussed about being right at the front, you get the worst possible sound, it's sweaty and uuugghh. You're better off at the back, it's closer to the bar
That's true. I love being at the front for the atmosphere... but at the last gig I went to (Babyshambles
They are only doing two gigs in the UK. One in London then again in Manchester the next day. They are more popular in other countries tbh.
They sold out all their tickets very quickly though so its hard to judge how much everyone likes them and how early I think they are going to get there.
I'm thinking of getting there for about 4pm tbh. I'm going to have to speak to the guy I'm going with though to see if he is prepared to wait that long! Haha.
The best way to get to the front is to edge through the crowd.
Queueing up at 8 in the morning before the gig isn't going to 'secure' you a place anywhere - people will always push to be at the front whether they've queued from 8am or turned up half an hour before the doors open.
Try and stay low and just work your way past everyone, say excuse me and then just move lol.
If there is a support band as well, then between stage setups there may be a break, and a lot of people will filter off to the bar/toilet, giving you a good opportunity to move forward.
And if all else fails I supose, then it's head down, shoulder in.
Surely you would have to queue up longer for standing rather than seating?
True, but if it's standing you just work your way through the crowd to wherever you want to get to (which usually will be quite dispersed before the music starts). If it was seating then I could understand getting there early to get a seat at the front (but then you usually get seat numbers). You won't miss anything queuing because the doors will open early enough to get everyone in before the music starts.
