    This. God I would just die if I found out they worked together on literally anything, even just one track!

    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.

    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.

    is this the last performance this tour?:lange:

     

    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.

    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.

    just curious, how have the crowds been overall? the only reports i’m hearing of people being just generally rude and disrespectful to others in the audience were the florida shows… anyone else know anything?

     

    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.

    Thank you for providing this info. Not only is it helpful to prepare me for tomorrow but it’s also very validating for me to hear. 
     

    Like on a serious note yall, I often feel embarrassed with how obsessed I am with Lana. But I just value her art so much. So this is honestly heart breaking, but not surprising. 
     

    I’m tired of sounding like a whiny brat, I’m sorry. 
    but I just get so jealous and my feelings get hurt seeing people with money get to constantly have the good seats & the pit & barricade, follow Lana around on tour (not you Quincy, you clearly are a real fan and deserve to be there) I know this isn’t the case for everyone but I just get the vibe that a lot of people doing that aren’t the “true” fans. Arriving to a Lana show late or leaving early? I could NEVER. Tomorrow is going to be one of the most important days of my life as silly as that may sound to some people. like, I need every single part of it to be perfect because it’s been something I’ve dreamed of and hoped for for the past 8 years since the first time I saw her live. It kills me that I can’t be down there in the pit or closer and will likely never meet Lana or get to thank her or anything. I don’t want to scream at the top of my lungs in her face or blind her with the flash of my phone. I just want to tell her thank you for everything, hand her a letter… and of course a selfie would be amazing but i could even do without that as long as I could tell her how much I appreciate her. Idk. this is just rly sad to hear but like I said, I’m not surprised. I hope I can just be in my own bubble tomorrow staring at her and not worrying about how other people have better spots than me. It’s just hard not to be extremely jealous sometimes. 

    dude I wish. It would be chaotic for sure but also so amazing. I just feel like WE really deserve our chance at getting close or  meeting her! Like if not US then WHO!?!? 

     

     

    some are going to a concert, others are going to church
