Finally uploaded my photos to Flickr. I was pretty much dead center, 3 back from the barricade. -

What time are you all getting there? Just to close my own thread, I called the box office again and confirmed: that the club add-on does not get you into the venue any earlier than the regular doors, and it's just line up whenever there's no wristband system FML I foolishly forgot to ask where to line up, but looking at G**gle Maps the main entry is on Clendenin St between Lee St & Civic Center Drive opposite a Panera Bread. There appear to be a bunch of garages around. -

As far as we know, yes. For the most part the outdoor concert season is over for shows by mid to late October so unless they're making an arena leg... which I suppose would be possible in major cities she didn't already hit but those would have to work around hockey and basketball dates and have to have been booked many months ago. This being an indoor show obviously contradicts everything I just said but the venue is relatively small (<10k) and doesn't have a sports tenant. It's also one of the few places she's playing that's not owned and/or run by the sickos at Live Nation. -

alright i talked to someone in the box office... the lounge thing *seemingly* won't be a shortcut to the front of the pit. i will call again early next week to see if i get the same answer. i'm driving about 5 hours from the dc area so i'm either leaving wednesday night to line up early thursday morning, or leaving thursday morning and not getting there till like 1 or 2. -
I was very close to the barricade at the center in Huntsville, which has a capacity around 8,000 (no lawn) and I'm told the pit was only about 500. There was a specific wristband for pit and they did check for it every time. The staff there is very helpful and only strict about the things that matter. Preshow: In the morning/early afternoon, they wristbanded the first 100 or so people who lined up (some folks started camping Tuesday night for a Thursday show), and after some miscommunication between ticketing people and security people, they got those fans in first -- I was like 120 apparently smh and only that late because of, in hindsight, a foolish tactical error. The more femme people in line were incredibly decked out, gorgeous outfits and flowers and beauty to the heavens and back. My dadcore look was embarrassing in contrast. Gate Time: Fans were increasingly nervous and anxious as gate time approached, but very polite. Everyone incredibly followed the staff's instructions and walked to the pit; I really give credit to those first couple dozen people because they set the tone. I made some friends in line and we just held hands between the gate and the pit so we all ended up together. We all saved each others space before Lana came on; some of them were significantly shorter than me so we just ended up in height order. The Show: There was one small group near me, and really it was one particular person, who was kinda rowdy drunk but for the most part she settled down during Lana's performance (or maybe I was just able to block it out). Folks around me were singing but it wasn't overwhelming her vocals. It was crowded but not overwhelming (I cut my teeth in punk and indie so my tolerance is high on this front though so ymmv) except when she came down to the barricade. There was a pretty big crush as you might expect. One person near-ish me was on the verge of a panic attack, crying, but her group were so compassionate and everyone close around her gave her space and her place closer to the front once it was calmer. The venue staff passed out water bottles whenever anyone asked; in addition, they allow everyone to bring in an empty bottle to fill at water stations so hydration wasn't an issue at all (it also was a very mild night). I was close enough that the thing that normally bugs me the most -- people holding up their phones really high for extended periods -- didn't affect me.

There's some kind of premium lounge early access... I'm trying to figure out if it will grant early entry to the pit & will let u know.
