Hey you guys I just got back to my hotel from the show. I had silver VIP so I ended up being dead center front row like right in front of her microphone! I took so many pictures and videos, I'll have to post some tomorrow!!! I also got a selfie with Lana:)!!! So glad I flew from Alaska to see this show. Waited in line all day, it was so worth it! The venue workers were not the best, but overall I had a great time! It was my first time being up against a barricade and I was strong enough to hold my ground/spot and no one pushed me out of the way or got in front of me so that was good! But my back and legs are sore and the pit was definitely super uncomfortable! It was worth it though:). I'll try to remember to post pics tomorrow!

I'm the 3rd person in line you guys:)

I'm the 3rd person in line you guys:)

At Wamu they had 2 random lines, but the line on the right got in first. At least the first part of that line did, I remember they let those of us who had been there all day (or maybe like the first 50?) in before everyone. WaMu was really a shit show.
I've been to Gaga shows with VIP General Admission. They always have 2 separate lines. I'm sure that fans will just distinguish their own lines as they come! 
 
I don't think there will be! And if you're there first I would suggest breaking off into two lines.
 
I talked to a woman on the phone and she said to lineup by the box office, but she also said the main gate...confusing. I won't be there first so I'll just find you guys! Usually the venue will know where the fans started a line and respect that. 
However, they told me they weren't sure if the pits would be divided in two. I know the seating charts say that, but the lady on the phone said that Lana/crew would decide that as they come. I could see them just having a normal GA floor like all her shows. 

Since I'm leaving my house around 6 I'll probably get there around 8:30 or 9 am, yeah my dream is to camp out for a lana concert! Maybe in the future (: and Yess im hoping all goes well and im pretty good at sneaking up to the front (without shoving.) sooo excited ! I'll look for you !

Sweeeeet I will be there tooo!! I'm so excited I'm meeting my online bestfriend Ricky there. she's like on a train rn and supposed to arrive in about 8 hours in Vancouver should be awesome :,)

awesome! thanks! im leaving tomorrow for vancouver! im superr excited ! anyone else staying at the la quinta inn there in vancouver?

when i e-mailed them i asked where VIPs would line up, and i also asked where people with regular pit tickets, seated tickets, and lawn tickets would line up(my cousins have seat tickets so thats why i also asked where everyone else would line up.)
they said: You can start lining up at the Columbia Gate by the box office.
 
so everyone is lining up at the Columbia Gate.

I'm so excited too!!!!!!!!!!!. I can't fucking wait!!!! I'm boarding my plane soon and then I'll be in Washington:). Ohhh my god you guys we're so close to the Lana concert<3333

Hey thank you guys for replying all of your information really helped and made me less nervous!!! I'm boarding my flight in an hour to Washington and then Friday is the concert. So excited! And I'm definitely going to show up super early so I can be one of the first people there:). Putting the merch bag around your neck is a really good idea that I didn't even think of!

In my case, we got our merch bags shortly before they had us line up to go inside the gate, so I didn't want to take the time to run to my car.  But our merchandise consisted only of what looks like a large bandana with the Endless Summer tour picture on it.  It was wrapped inside a piece of construction paper to protect it.  But it was very light.  I had mine over my shoulder the whole time and didn't even notice it.  The girl next to me had hers around her arm and was letting it dangle down in front of the barricade.  You're not supposed to put anything down on what looks like little shelves on the front side (stage-facing) side of the barricade, but it's OK to let it hang over as long as you're holding onto it somehow.
 
As far as holding onto the barricade goes, it depends on the situation.  When Lana was on stage and not moving around toward the front of the stage too much, the pit was actually pretty calm.  I didn't have to hold on to the barricade, but I was leaning on it with my forearms.  That helped support my phone to take pictures and videos.  But the minute she came farther forward, especially towards my side, the whole pit would shift and surge, and I would grab on to the barricade with one hand.  I was also using my legs to help ground myself in place.  Sometimes both legs and at least one arm was required.  I'm tall enough that at times, I could reach around the front of the barricade and hold onto one of the support rails on the front side, but most of the time, I was just holding onto the top.

Good question. You don't have to literally hold on to the rail of the barracade. You can just stand hands free but holding on is more comfortable. When she comes down to the front, you can lean your body against the barracade (its very sturdy) and you can reach out to her. Its actually quite easy. As far as the merchandise, one show I went to, they didnt let us put our stuff in our cars so most of put the bag around our neck, others held it. It wasnt bad. The other show I went to - they gave us time to take our merch back to the car and get back in line by our number. You'll be fine. Get there early!!!!!

I hope you get front row and have a great concert! That's so cool that you're flying here! I'm sooo excited guys. Like I can't even believe this is happening.

Wellllll how was it?

@@frankestrella I'm confused. The GOLD package comes with a seat in one of the numbered sections. The pit does not have any seats - it's standing room only. GOLD package comes with a reception with food and that is why they let you in early - well, for that and for crowd free shopping at the merch table.

SILVER packages are let in the venue much earlier than everyone else. Live Nation numbers you and puts you in a line according to number. The number represents who arrived first. Live Nation will walk the SILVER packages in a single file to the pit which works out amazingly well. There is no running or pushing - it was the most organized experience I have ever had. 

Do Right?! In an hour we will hear snippets of a new song?! Please please please.
 
It's an okay set list. I was expecting a bit more Ultraviolence. She killed with MPG, OM and FMWUTTT last year so it's weird they were omitted. Also they are three of the best. Still the inclusion of Serial Killer and Off to the Races is amazing.

To the guys attending this first show, who can I follow on Instagram or Twitter to see pictures of it?? I'm fucking excited to know the set list

Yes, I'm going to the Toronto show. Considered traveling to other shows too but everywhere else would involve a plane/long bus ride and hotel rental
So have you got your VIP ticket info? Spill the details @@buster!

Hey! When I called Ticketmaster's VIP number yesterday me and my mom asked them about this same issue because my mom paid with her credit card. The guy on the phone was still able to add my name as an alternate so I can pick up the VIP package:). So as long as you call, they'll be able to add you as an alternate! And my mom also got a new credit card this month because there was a security breach so we don't have her old one, and the guy on the phone said as long as I bring a copy of her ID and I bring my own ID everything will be good!
