Guest Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Generally take only what you need. Don't want to lose anything valuable in the mosh pit. I'd just take the essentials.As for what time- depends on close to the front you want to be. You could easily turn up at 8/9 and still get close to the front (first10/15rows) but if you want to ensure being in the front 2 rows, i'd consider turning up an hour before doors open.

RocketQueen1985 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I would bring as little as possible, that way you don't have to worry about your stuff during the concert. I got to the GNR concert at 11 in the morning and waited outside all day and it worked out cause I got a spot right in front of Axl on first row and I got to meet Ron while I was sitting outside and waiting with the other fans.

LesPaul_Player_91 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Dunno about GN'R but when I go to big standing gigs in arenas I usually take some water, some food like some cereal bars or something in case I get hungry.I usually turn up around an hour before doors open.

ags_rule Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Odyssey are very strict when it comes to what you're allowed to bring in. I'm not even sure water is allowed! I know that they have a rule that once you enter the arena you can't leave to go for a smoke or any other reason, so if you're a fan of the cancer sticks, best load up on your fix before going in!

plonker88 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Make sure your trousers/shorts have zips overwise stuff will fall out/be nicked, if you're up the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ags_rule Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's sold out at half capacity though, is it not? If you go on the ticketmaster website you'll see that it's referred to as a 'Standing-Seating' concert, which on the diagram looks like half of the arena is tapered off. That's what it was like for Megadeth, Judas Priest and Testament a few years back, but they only sold out half of that lol.Metallica played to a full arena though as their stage set-up is 'in the round', not 'standing seating'.

I assume they've got the same thing as Green Day if it's standing/seating, and they sold it out around 12,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Water. A lot. I like to wear jeans, a cool t-shirt and running shoes. I don't think you'll need a cap, since the place is closed.My tip, is to drink a lot of water, have a good lunch, a really good, and the 1st thing you do when you get on the venue, is going to the bathroom. Because once you get your spot (I hope it's a good one), and you have to go away for some reason, it will be impossible to get it again, so go to the bathroom and then take your place.Bring some cards too, it's nice to play while you wait.

GunsNRevolvers2 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah definitely eat alot of food before you go. When I saw STP last summer we got there 2 hours before doors opened with standing GA tix, I had eaten a normal sized lunch about an hour prior not even thinking, they opened the doors an hour before showtime, we got front and center rail, it was fucking great. Although in between the opening band and STP, I realized I was absolutely STARVING haha, but was trapped and didn't want to lose my spot, at least once STP came on I totally forgot about it. But it made the 45 minute wait much longer than it seemed, so make sure you eat good and even bring some breakfast bars or crackers or something to eat during the wait inbetween.Have a killer time man!
