Of course, but add to the fact that I had way too many beers and it was a tiresome three hours show. Generally, I don't mind waiting in line, I come up with a bottle of vodka and orange juice , a pack of Marlboro and stuff, waiting in line getting shitfaced. Th hardest is waiting at the venue, you can't really do what you want and I feel like I'm in a slaughterhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to wait that long if Izzy or Buckethead are coming back. Other than that, If I want to see Axl it's going to be with Angus, straight two hours show nine-eleven, that's it.

So for all the Axl's solo shows you lined up for 12 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if you have drinks with you or joints and stuff, people are willing to talk whatever you want. But I don't talk about the band because I don't want them to know that I'm such a fanboy lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you have to wait until 11pm-midnight to see the band, it doesn't make any difference that's pretty much the same thing, you're waiting like a complete useless douche.

Thats true, I saw him in 2012, he started the show at like 11.30 and I had reached the venue at 3pm, I did have the early access and I had taken a seat, so well I din't have to stand, but I felt really bad for the people who were standing in front for like 8 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 For GN'R at the Brooklyn Bowl - I think it was something like 9 hours. @Black Sabbath and @Tyler Drama got there way before me even, since I had to drive down after the Buffalo show the night before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I guess Vegas last year, 7AM. But that's easy because once some friends line up, Vegas is so easy to just take turns and walk around, go back to the hotel, etc. Other than that, probably 9AM for one or two other NITL shows last year. But, if you're counting the wait time until the band actually hit the stage, a NuGuns show might take the cake there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 22 minutes ago, ChristmasFnatic said: Wow. How about those who got VIP/Early Entry? Not many? Early entry for GN'R nowadays is hardly early entry. It's just overpriced, VIP "experiences" that rich people spend their money on to say they did. A few select REAL fans will buy them because they want to, but not typically it seems. Bottom line is if you want front row, early entry or not, it's attainable. It's just a matter of paying the money or waiting the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Really never lined up that long for anyone. I get my tickets usually online or years ago on the phone. I usually get to the venue about the time the doors open, so I go right in, especially the summer months. You don't want to be waiting inline for long in Dallas in the summer months. You could dehydrate in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in your experience, how many estimate paid for the EE per show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
