Isabel Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 17 hours in Mainz..man, so many moskitos and then the security guard didn't let us through the barrier...ok, we came in first row and it was the best day in my life...so woah, where were you camping?? I was there too!
Holly Ann Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 4-5 hours. 12 if you count the whole time I was standing. By the next set of shows, hopefully I've found some friends (that like GD ) that I can camp with.
Alan86 Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I have queued up 3 times to see Green Day, The longest was 12 hrs, it was well worth it though.
sassafrasroots_ Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 erm.. about 26-28hrs sounds such a long wait now
EvanAsFuck Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 about 24 hours... and i got font row (barrier) and got onstage to sing/dance/stagedive for Know Your Enemy!!!
Holly Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Waiting in line is always really fun. Even if I didn't need to be there early, I probably would do it anyway. That's what I was saying before the Wembley, if I was lucky enough to win early entry I was going to camp anyway. That camp out before Wembley was such an amazing night with all the H/J crew I would've camped out there with them if there hadn't even been a show the next day I think all the queuing and waiting outside for hours and hours on end really adds to the experience, I don't know if I'd want to just walk up an hour or two before and be able to go straight in, even if I was guaranteed barrier. Each time I've seen them I've queued longer and longer; Birmingham last year I queued about nine hours? Although thats only because the first train didn't set off until 6am so we couldn't arrive until about 9. Manchester I queued for about eleven hours, once again constrained to the first train of the day. Then Wembley we went the night before so I could camp out for twenty five hours or however long it was. Next tour I'm going to aim to camp out at all the shows and I intend to go to all the UK and some European ones so I best get used to sleeping on concrete lol. I've went to two concerts for Green Day. Each time twenty minutes and I still get right in front on the railing both times. lol Wtf
28smooth Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 About 8 hrs till they opened the gates....would've got the same spot if not better had I come later lol Will defo get there the day before next time ) And how the hell do people get early entry??!!
Martyn Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Midnight for wembley stadium..so 16 and a half-ish. Got front row though
Izzard Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 18 hours. pretty long but so worth it! Second place in line! The people in front of us had been their for 2 days wait what? How is that even possible? exactly what I was thinking!
Mellyboots Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Just over 24 hours for both Manchester and Wembley. Then about 20 hours for Mainz. The rest were somewhere between 8 and 12 hours. Worth it.
liquorhill Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I waited from 2 am till about 12 noon for tickets to the first show back for American Idiot at Irving plaza in NYC.
Nele Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 around 20 hours if you include the waiting inside the venue. Although it felt like a lifetime because it was ho(t) as hell and just... bleh.
Velocity Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I waited 10 hours for the doors to open in Virginia, from about 8 AM till 6 PM. I still have mad sunburn on my arms and legs from that day.
klytaemnestra Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 eight hours outside wembley and then three hours (i think?) when we got in. the guys next to us on the barrier had been there since the thursday.. o_o
Undómiel Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 eleven hours outside wembley and about three when we got inside... xxxx So worth it.
