The Real McCoy Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hearing now that lots might be open earlier than 5:30. Talking to a friend of mine who works at the Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBrA2168 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Good info. Keep us updated. I plan on arriving to Wilkes barre around 3 or 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real McCoy Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) My friend said that she was told to be there an hour before the lots open, and she has to be there at 3. I'm going to try to be at the arena by 4 at the absolute latest. Edited November 17, 2011 by The Real McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevelle Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Fuuuuck, I hate missing a show that's half an hour away. Hope y'all enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesswehavetowaitnsee Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Ok, so is anybody familiar with the area? I want to get there around 2, where should I park if parking doesn't open until 5:30? Also is anybody still planning on meeting up together in line?

I want to get there around 2, where should I park if parking doesn't open until 5:30? Also is anybody still planning on meeting up together in line?Being that I was born and raised there, I'm kind of familiar with it... Like I said, the 5:30 opening time for the parking lot MIGHT be wrong. My friend that works at the arena didn't think that sounded right.Wal-Mart and a strip mall are right across the street (Starbucks...never a bad thing.)Lucky's Sportshouse is right down the road with a view of the parking lot so that you can keep tabs on what's going on.I can't imagine the lot opening only an hour before the doors do...as far as I know, they've NEVER done that.In this case, the earlier...the better.See you in line and on the rail.

Powerage5 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Then I need to be there by 2. Front row!You can fit PLENTY of people on the barrier, at least 60 or so. Judging by past shows, I'd say anytime before 4:30 and you're definitely gonna be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by past shows, I'd say anytime before 4:30 and you're definitely gonna be fine. I'm gonna be hanging out in line fairly early regardless. Definitely looking forward to hanging with ya'all. I'll most likely have my GNR hoodie on, so I'll be easy to spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll most likely have my GNR hoodie on, so I'll be easy to spot.I'd probably be there before 3 if I wasn't bringing people with me; they're both excited to get on the barrier, but neither is as seasoned a concert veteran as me, so I don't wanna make the wait too unbearable for them. In Hamilton last year I got there 2 and a half before doors and I was 15-20 back in line, so I think all of us from here will be fine to get on the barrier Sunday night!

ITW 2012 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Doesn't lining up and waiting around all day kind of spoil the show for you? It just seems a bit nerdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Doesn't lining up and waiting around all day kind of spoil the show for you? It just seems a bit nerdy.I personally love it. It's totally worth being at the barrier; there's nothing else like it. An 8 hour wait for Maiden is a walk in the park for me, it's cool to spend time queueing with fans you know, and of course meeting new fans too.

B)A seasoned vet would show up at around 10 pm, buy some merch and beers, and then make their way to the floor. Honestly, it's not that hard to get up close at Guns shows. This isn't 1991.

Being up front is alright, but after awhile it's nice to drop back and listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
