I saw the same things about parking opening at 3pm.  Can we get there before 3pm to get in line?  If anyone gets in line for pit, can you give us all an update?  I will once I get there.

There is about 20 people here.  Looks like they may separate pit left and right tickets at gate 2 (right) and gate 6 (left) but now sure yet.

I used to work security there you wont get anywhere near the band

That sucks. Oh well, thanks for the heads up and saving me waiting time.

Anyone trying to meet any member of the bands after the concert?  Any advice where to head off to after the concert at this stadium?

Amazing!!! Thank you, I was checking every day :-)

I am looking for 2 PIT tickets to the Buffalo Show on Aug 16 if anyone can't make it and willing to part with them.  Message me if you have any available.

Picked up a couple PIT tickets.  Thanks everyone.

Not sure if anyone will read this, or if this will even work out, but it's worth a shot. 

I've been thinking about this for awhile, really debating it, and I came to the realization that I want to see Guns N' Roses in the pit. I've never been in the pit before for any concert, so I don't know that experience, but if I were to be in it, especially for the first time, it would be for Guns N' Roses since I love them so much. Thing is, there's no place I can purchase them since they're all out on main sites, so I figured I could come here. 

I am interested in 2 Pit 1 tickets (or any pit tickets in general) for the ***Houston*** show on November 10th. As much as would love to see them in the pit, I can only afford them at face value or less. 

However, I also do have some general questions/concerns about being in the pit that I want to consider before pulling the trigger: I am very short (only 5 feet tall haha a daily struggle). Will this badly affect my experience? If I do somehow get lucky and find pit tickets, I plan on making this concert a full day plan, and I absolutely plan on being at the barricade by getting there as early as I have too. Is barricade even the best spot in the pit? Or is there a certain spot elsewhere where the view is better? Will my view be hindered in any way by any of those factors? How are the people in the pit? If I have to use the bathroom during an opening band, will I get my spot back? 

I know it's a lot, but this is something I really want to do, and I want to get as much information as possible. So if anyone could help me out with those questions, or if anyone has 2 pit tickets for the ***Houston*** show they don't need, or would like to part with, please message me.

Thank you all. 

 

My first Pit concert was the GNR concert in New Jersey last year.  It was amazing and seeing them so close was unbelievable!  As for your questions about the pit, based only on my experience, I was on the rail during the concert. I got to the stadium 4 hours in advance.  They announced a heatwave that day which may have made it easier to get on the Rail.  We got in, went to the left side (Duff's side) of the stage and propped ourselves there.  My wife went to the bathroom right after we arrived and got a couple of drinks and food. She made it back to her place easily.  I didn't go to the bathroom but didn't drink much of anything especially not alcohol.  The people in the pit was amazing. Very friendly, which was a great group of us waiting in line together.  There was a little pushing, but not much. Most of the troubles were from people arriving very later after the opening act and trying to push their way to the front.  The security was very good at this concert at making sure those pusher went to the back of the pit.

My next Pit concert is coming up and I plan on arriving 6 hours in advance (depending on the weather).  I don't mind waiting if I can get on the Barricade.  Good luck getting tickets and you will absolutely love being in the PIT at the concert.  You won't be able to get seat tickets again after this experience.

I am going to this concert.  It will be the 3rd concert from "Not in this lifetime" Tour.  2 Pits and one seats.  I will never get seats again after the Pit!!!  Can't wait.
