When Should I Arrive At This Concert To Get In Front

What time should I arrive to get to the front row at a BTS concert (arena holds 20k people, and BTS are high demand)?

OkaySo first of all, if the show is at like in the afternoon and the line starts at like 8:00 am you should probably stay there over night (I mean like get there a day before the concert). Even if you get VIP, trust me it’s chaotic. But If you can’t get there early just come at the time the line starts. Make sure just to come a little early at least, you may want to get a good look at the bbys

How early should I arrive at a concert to get front row spots?

I have an experience similar to yours. I went to a David Gilmour show last weekend, and we passed by the venue (Radio City Music Hall) about an hour before the doors opened, and two hours before the show started. There were already people lining up for the show, but only around 20-40. When we arrived at the venue in order to get in, around 20 minutes after we first passed by it, there was a line of 100-150 people. I would arrive at the show 6:45-7:00 just to MAKE SURE that you will get front row spots. I recommend bringing a book or social skills in order to prevent you from getting bored. Thanks for the A2A!

How early should you arrive at a concert to get front row spots?

I'm not the best person to ask because I spent the last couple of decades in the business so if I wanted to go to a concert I just called the promoter, or a label rep, and asked to be put on the guest list which often included a backstage pass.  I rarely paid to see a show.  Our production company did the same thing as a kind of professional courtesy.  Most shows I went to had assigned seating, but our place (The Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia) did not.  In observing audience behavior I saw that it really depended on the genre.  Jam bands, which drew your hippy type folks, often had people forming a line early in the day, sometimes the day before a show.  Audiences for jazz acts formed only hours before a show.  Hip-hop acts generally had people lining up about midday, but our place booked mid-range acts since we only seated around a thousand people.  The huge acts were a different story.  I'd suggest calling the venue and asking them what they think.  I can't speak for the folks at the Manchester Arena, but we were always as helpful as we could be when people called us with questions like this.

How early should I arrive for a concert?

To know when to show up, you need to ask yourself some questions -Is there an opening act? Do you want to see them? : if you do, I recommend being at the venue within an hour before the main act comes on. They usually take up that time frame to let the main performers get ready.Where’s the venue? Is parking a hassle?: usually with big performances, come even bigger venues, which hold more people and have even more traffic. So not wanting to get stuck in the mentioned traffic, I recommend an hour to the main performance as well because people lag and are late. It’s only human nature. But you, and a bunch of other super fans who absolutely cannot wait, can rise above and get there before the crowd. (Also: if you’re parking. Make sure, if the venue has you pay for parking in advance. Pay.) ((However; a helpful recommendation/tip from me is to have someone drop you off at the concert and pick you up. You avoid the struggle of finding parking and you’re in there within minutes. Same for you’re out of there in seconds and can just avoid the parking lot in general with a bit of walking)If you don’t really care about who’s opening for them (and at times there aren’t) what time does the actual artist/band usually come on to do their set?: i recommend looking at past concerts/tour stops to be sure, and making sure you’re there at least a half hour before the main act starts because you want to be able to have found your seat, got parking, actually made it inside and even if you want to buy something like a shirt or a drink (the lines are long but getting closer to when the set starts, the line will be shorter. Just a little helpful hint from me to you. If you hear screaming, run (well not really that’s a safety hazard) to your seats.My best recommendation - if you can, and don’t want to be late, be there an hour or 45 minutes early. They’ll be letting people in by then and really, worse thing that’ll happen is you’ll have to wait some time until the actual concert starts. Though it’s not a problem and definitely worth it, because you can have time to buy things, hang out, take some pictures etc…

How do you get the front row at a GA concert?

If you come super early (before doors open)you can wait at the front of line to get in and secure your spot at the front to get a good spot. However if you arrive later, you will need to navigate through people to make it front row. This actually pretty easy for me. You have to politely say excuse me as you try to move forward through the crowd. The best way to get to front is by starting at one of the sides of the crowd and slowly working your way toward front. The middle of the stage usually too many people. I try to get to middle once I'm close to stage or halfway there. Also, there are certain people who won't let you pass them. Just circle around them. Don’t waste time getting mad just move on and forward!) Please don’t push or shove, it might get you through but it's unnecessary and rude. Another easy method is to follow other people going towards front, walk closely behind them and keep moving up. This works better when there's 2 more people following each other because it creates a train effect. I hope this helps.
