Yesss, someone else who gets it!!

@@CarolynMorales Yessss every video i've seen of harry's concerts EVERYBODY in the back of the pit looks like they have so much more fun. like the conga line, barricade could NEVER.

Literally same. I hope you had fun

@@roronoaz4lyfe1947 me on June 2nd 😊

im going to my first concert alone for a standing ticket at 4th july ( lana del rey ) and im nervous 😭

@@panicatthewerkroom742omg you’re sooo lucky I’m seeing Taylor next summer but I wish I could see Lana too haha. Have fun!

@@joslynk9951 im also seeing taylor next summer!! omfggg have fun

HOW ARE YOU MEETING HIM BACKSTAGE?????

i’m assuming priority means you’ll have early entrance compared to everyone else! if it’s the highest category then most likely billie isn’t going to have a meet and greet/soundcheck option which means you’ll most likely be one of the first groups inside!

hey ik u won’t see this but how did it work going to the concert alone because i am going to try get tickets for her next tour and i would have to go alone and im so nervous

@@haahahshqooamsnsms hiya!! it actually went so well!! I got a standing pen priority option, which just means that the doors open half an hour earlier for us and we could secure better spots. I was really nervous going alone too so I actually went to the concert venue to have a sense of the space there about a few days before the actual concert XD! I asked the staff and looked up how they would usually manage the concerts there too which was really helpful. i also had a backup plan where i made some stickers and prints to give out to the people in the queue around me (as a gift for free) that was great in livening up the mood. and just being rly friendly and talking and befriending the people around in the queue really went a long way because we held the queuing spots for each other, and some folks helped to get me lunch etc! so yeah i had a ton of fun even when i went alone, so you'll be alright too!! hope this helps :D

How did it go and how early did you guys line up?

I didn't move for the whole 3,5 hours in the venue. Worst thing was actually the back pain from standing so long, not being able to eat or pee was surprisingly not even a problem for me.😅

If I had left my spot there was no way to get it back unfortunetly...

I got GA to see 'em too! I'm really nervous!

Yeah you’ll definitely be really close! If not barricade then for sure the first couple rows :)

It depends on the type of music. Get to the place early so you can figure out an exit strategy if things got out of hand. Wear shoes that are comfortable and easy to walk in. Sometimes you can get a really good view from the sides. Personally I only get pit tickets to stuff like Anthrax or Rob Zombie and at larger venues. Metal heads will put themselves in danger to help you if you fall down. If it's rap or regular rock stay to reserved seats or lawn tickets.

OMG SAME that’s why I’m here lmfoaoooo

SAME.

Usually you have to toss everything before entering so it is important to not bring anything you wouldn’t want thrown away

@@CarolynMorales Ohhh! Alrighty thank you

im also trying to buy tickets for blackpink concert in riyadh😭.. anyways how was it?

@@EIsaMars the concert is next Saturday 😳 hopefully I'll get a good view. Good luck with your tickets! I heard Hong Kong tickets sold out in a minute.

@@lalisaluhme Hong Kong tickets start selling on nov 21 lol

@@andreali4156 oops I meant Kaohsiung City, Taiwan 😅 my bad

@@lalisaluhme how did it gooo?

Portable chargers are the best so you can keep yourself entertained with your phone without worrying about your battery dying! Snacks and water are also a good idea! If you don’t want to worry about sitting on the floor or standing for many hours, you can bring a lawn chair or blanket you don’t mind disposing of before entering the venue!

you probably won’t have much luck getting barricade if there’s an early entry option but you will most likely be very close to barricade if you line up early. even if you get there and there’s already a long line, remember that stadiums are HUGE so odds are you will still be very close!

If there is no meet and greet or soundcheck prior to the show then the fast lane ticket should be pretty useful with getting in first!

I always go with my sister so we just talk the entire time or go on our phones haha. You could also download a movie or listen to music!

If they don’t let you line up until 9am then it’s not worth getting there earlier because they’ll just kick you out. Get there right at 9AM to secure your chances of getting barricade.

I'd like to know this too! I've seen him before but this is my first time with pit

It honestly really depends by city. Usually I see that New York and LA shows have the most people that camp out overnight (since they’re major cities). I would recommend checking the day before to see if there’s a line that has already began forming. If not, then I would personally head over to the venue very early on the day of the concert (around 5am). Hope this helps!

@@MG-mo3bo me too I’m going on June 11th!

@@CarolynMorales thank you !!!!!!

I’m going in June and I’ve no clue

Yes definitely. They don’t stop letting people in at a certain time. I’ve arrived late to a concert before and had no issue getting in. An hour would be perfect because at least it’ll leave time to buy merch and food/drinks.

@@CarolynMoralesoh that's great thank youuu

hi! for camping it all depends on the venue and if it allows camping on their facility grounds. i recommend checking their website or asking other people who have been to that venue if they allow it, and if not camping in a place nearby or across the road might be fine! i also think maybe a day or even two before the concert as taylor swift is a large artist and A LOT of her other fans will be doing the same thing. hope this helped!!

Go to the box office early in the morning when they first open and ask if they have any available seats to upgrade to!

my advice can be really risky but depending on the artist and how many fans they have you can get there when the seats are open and look for empty seats without security noticing or people arriving late and saying it’s their seat 😭 my friends did this at a twice concert

I’ve never had any issue with seat geek but I believe some people have, so it’s completely up to you. I highly recommend Ticketmaster and StubHub. You should purchase from a site that protects your purchase and verifies the tickets are legit.

@@CarolynMorales thank you! I was searching for a professional ticket buyer to ask them this! I bought my tickets from Ticketmaster and they said they would email me the tickets so thank you!

I would contact your venue to find out what time you’re allowed to start queuing. Also find out the exact location for the queue. It’ll save you so much time! Many stadiums have multiple entrances so it can get really confusing trying to find the correct queue.

@@CarolynMorales thank you, I’ll make sure to ring them and find out all the details. I spoke to my uncle, his boyfriend and my dad and they said they’re planning on getting there in the middle of the night/maybe earlier so it should get us a good chance to be at least close to her. They’ve been front row to most gigs they go to because they camp out so I feel like they know what theyre doing, I just have no clue with it been a first time for me. I usually get seated tickets

@@Rach_horlockyou don’t need to queue for Taylor.. all the seats on the floor are seated! I know because I went in April. You can arrive late and still be fine because it’s assigned seating

@@TheDarlingNikky there aren’t any seats for the standing section in the uk or atleast in liverpool x

I’ve ended up with vip tickets too and am so worried about when to get there lol I was originally planning on not having vip tickets and getting there about 8am as I’ve heard that’s when they start queuing but I’m guessing I won’t need to be as early? but also aware like a lot of people will have the vip tickets with early access

I’m not 100% sure because I usually just go dressed for the concert. If you have some friends in line with you then you guys can take turns changing in a restroom or car haha

a lot of venues that allow camping out will give you wristbands so that you can go home and get changed and shower and still come back and have a guaranteed spot close to the stage. When i went to The 1975 we marked our hands with what number we were in line, and in the morning security came out and gave us wristbands to show we were the first in line so we could go home and get ready + get some food.

Yes! You probably won’t have to camp out or anything but I still recommend getting there a few hours early :)

You’re gonna have to camp out probably

Barricade at festivals is very difficult because I’ve heard of fans that stay at the barricade ALL day. Your best bet is to move forward as much as you can when the sets/shows are over because that’s when most people start walking away from the stage.

omggg same, but for boston 😭😭

@@mariamkenneh3165 omgg have fun🙈

i heard that people get there on midnight the night before. 😢 I'm going to london and i'm so scared, I wanted to come at 8am but will probably come at 4pm the day before and that'll probably not even be enough 😂

How was it? I got tickets for dream next month and I'm not willing to camp out lol

@@deejourneyz_ I'm the O2 they didn't allow camping. We were allowed to start queuing at 9 but I decided to come at 8am and when I arrived there were already so many people. However, I was still so close to the stage, like 5m away. I would recommend to check the website of the venue, and if they do it the same to get there by 7am if you're willing to stand for a long time to get a good spot. Have fun! xx
