[davegrohllover]

That'll be such a great adventure!

Haha yes it will, i can't wait. The drive home will be so long. I'll need lots of red bull, LOL

Dude, you'll be on such an adrenaline high afterwords I'm pretty sure you'll be set for the road even without the Red bull! LOL

[Guest Shangri-La]

Steven, i see you lurking! did you get a ticket?

[Prisca]

I have a question! The ticket says that we should have received updated info by today but I haven't received anything.... how about you guys?

I'm pretty sure we received it yesterday. If it says pre-wristbanding is at 4, it's updated.

[Savannah]

why don't we all meet at a starbucks or something?

here's two that are close:

1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA‎ - (213) 765-4573‎

800 W Olympic Blvd # 102, Los Angeles, CA‎ - (213) 748-1009‎

It's on google maps. I don't know, we can decide whatever if you guys don't like starbucks.

[Kate Austen]

Yeah, if you go look at your E-ticket, you will notice the info has updated on it. The one thing I want to stress, is the fact that at the bottom of the ticket (in small font) it says:

"E-Tickets are in excess of capacity, therefore a ticket MAY NOT GUARANTEE entry".

Now, I'm not saying 100% - this is how will it be done. But as I said before, usually these events they give out more tickets then they actually have space for. And they do this to make sure they are guaranteed to have a full crowd. Make sure to get there early regardless. At the worst, you will get to hang out with some really cool Green Day fans. I doubt anyone here will have a problem getting in. I'm just warning those that plan on getting there late, you might not get in.

What time do you think would be a wise arrival time, Kate?

That would work for me.

[Bohemian+Scandal]

I think we should meet at the spot where they're going to be giving out wristbands. Just to check it out and see if we need to get in a line or what.

That's a good idea too.

[Hanamay]

I'm really glad that you guys have cracked the code and managed to all get tickets, have a fab time!

[Prisca]

Thank you both! I see it now.

[Kate Austen]

If you are flying in for this - or driving a good distance, DEF get there around 2. They are giving out wrist bands at 4. I have no idea how crazy people will get with the lines (since space is limited). If you are a local (if you live in LA) - I would just drive by, and gauge what time you get there by the size of the line.

I only suggest that people get there around 2 (or earlier) if they are coming from a longer distance. Because IMO - if you are going to be coming that far, you need to guarantee that you will get into this. So the waiting is def worth it (you already came this far, didn't you....). But maybe 2 is too early. I know for sure everyone should at the least get there by 4 (the time they are giving out wrist bands). Once you get your wrist band, you are guaranteed in.

Lastly, I think we should have us GDCers text/keep in contact with someone on the board, so that we can tell others how big the line is throughout the day. So anyone that is planning on getting there early to hang out, please give someone on here your cell, so that way folks know when they should leave. It would be of great help.

[Pinheadstern]

on the ticket it says do not bring any digital equipment, i wanted to bring my Ipod

[Kate Austen]

I assume they just mean Cameras and recording devices. What purpose would they have for no iPods. I doubt they will care if you have an iPod in your pocket.

[Pinheadstern]

yeah, your prob right. :devil:

[leacalifornia]

That would work for me.

me too....

Thats a Great idea Kate, For us to keep an eye on the line for one another. I'd be more then happy to help out with that.

ok, we could meet at the check in tent or whatever if you guys want.

I plan on getting there early, like 12-1, and check in isn't until 4, so I want to get in line like around then. I don't mind giving people my cell phone number to update people on the line status (thats a really good idea) or where we want to meet, or even holding a spot for someone in line.

just let me know guys!

p.s. 9 days!!!
