**Official General Admission Discussion - Fall 2010**

Morning All,

As the tour begins this evening, most of us are still wondering what the GA floor is going to be like. Does anyone have details on whether there will be a lottery or first come first serve?

Also, please discuss your GA experience here after the show.

Happy Fall tour!

    First come, first serve is right. The earlier you arrive, the closer you'll get to the front.

    Good thread idea, I'm surprised it took us this long to put all the GA talk into one thread.

    I'll be WH GA at Atlanta and Charleston and regular GA for both C'Ville nights. I'll be sure to report back with all the horror stories

    First three indoor shows (ATL, Charleston, and Cville n1) are going to be GA, finally found a ticket for Cville n2 and it was a seat (better than nothing, right?)
    Not been to an indoor show before, or in GA like this... Looking forward to it... and I hope I can get close to the front... (I am a hoss of a man if I don't say so myself.)

    To anyone that was at last night's show, what was it like on the floor?

    What time did people get in to stand how far from the stage?

    I stood in line at 330 in the WH line and was 2nd row behind dave. I had a great atmosphere.. lots of cool people around me. Some drunk douchebags walking through but they eventually leave.. and that is to be expected. Overall.. can't complain. Saw a great show at a great view!

    At Citi there was no differentiation between the front section and the back. The WHers were able to get in early, but after they opened GA for everyone else it was a mixed bag.

    If I arrive to stand in line early, (by myself, with 2 tickets), and have my Dad join when he gets out of work, will I get called a douchebag?

    If you make it clear to everyone around, and especially around you that you have a person coming (your Dad) it should not be a problem.

    The real problem are the 3-4 friends of each person in line that show up... and expect to cut in front of people...

    How do we find out where to line up for WH GA? Are there signs or do we get an email? How's that work?

    For the Buffalo show we got an email on Monday. It told us where to line and there were signs at the venue.

    In Buffalo I got in line at 10:00am and was the 5th person there. It wasn't too bad waiting because they let us stand in the lobby for the most of the time. Once a lot of people began showing up though, we had to wait outside. Ended up right under Dave's mic with my elbows on the rail. Not one person bothered me all night because I wasn't moving from that spot no matter what.

    In Albany, I got in line at 9:30am. I was about the 10th person there. It was cold all day as we waited outside the doors. At least we had a roof over us to keep the rain away. The Albany security really messed up letting us in. They lined us all up at one door until there was no more room, then they started lining up at another door. So in other words, people 1-50 or so were at one door, then 50-100 or so were at the other door. So basically person 1 had the same spot as person 50, just at another door. Not fair. We were told that the first line would be let in first before the other line moved. But all that was holding the line back was a metal riot fence and a stupid old lady. As soon as they pulled the fence away from the first line, everyone in line 2 just ran around their fence. It was a sprint from there on out. I ended up on the rail in front of Tim for the show. Not a bad seat. But the fact that I arrived at 9:30am, with a guy I saw arrive at 4pm behind me is what sucked.

    Good luck in GA to all!

    I'm really glad I live in the South. Being able to get in the WH line at 4 and be front row is amazing.
