2012 Pit Q&A

[JstMyLuck3]

Didn't see anything like this in the threads but can those who have had pit tickets to a show this tour please let us know the "process"?

-About what time were the tickets available at will call (I know this will vary a bit venue to venue)?

-Did you have to get a bracelet for pit outside the venue or just before entering the pit?

-Is there any other helpful information to prevent headaches for others with pit tickets at future shows?

I know in 2010 pit bracelets were given out just before entering the pit but I've heard otherwise this time around.

Thanks!

- Will Call times tend to be posted on that particular show's Live Nation or Ticketmaster page. Also this year, most Live Nation venues have facebook pages where they post gate/lot/willcall/boxoffice/door times

- Get your wristband outside of the venue this year, before you go in

- Warehouse tickets get in 15 minutes early

- The credit card and the ID of the credit card holder is needed. Most people have had problems, many didn't even get in, when they used their mom/dad/sis/bro/dog's credit card and expected to get in without them there

Do you mean the credit card holder needs to be present to get into the venue or get the tickets from will call? I know they need to be present to get the tickets from will call, but if they need to be present again to get into the venue that seems a bit odd.

The Credit Card used to purchase the tickets and an exact name-matching ID need to be handed to the Will Call people in order to get the tickets. They swipe the credit card and then print out the tickets (for LN/TM tickets).

Yes, WH pit tickets are under the member's name. I'm still not sure why they need the credit card, but they do. I contacted the WH a few weeks before the start of the tour because I used my hubby's card to buy the tickets. They said I just needed to have it with me. Hope this helps.

If it's the same as it has been (based on ATL and NC), then yes. WH pit first, then Fast Lane, then everyone else.

Depends on the pit size, ATL was jammed full, could barely get in the side. Charlotte, you could have brought a beach chair and sat there.
