The sound was awesome and I enjoyed the show from a whole different perspective than I normally would!

Seattle show I got there maybe 10 minutes after doors opened and there were no seats availableon the floor I was with a friend and there was nothnig up front for two people. We had semi-reserved seats dead center, though, and stuck with those. However, when we drove past the venue maybe 90 minutes before doors opened, there was no line. So... depends on the place I guess, and how close you need to be. If you're determined to be UP FRONT I'd say get there 1 1/2 to 2 hours before show, to be safe. Or more like an hour if you're not as determined - lol.
now when you wrote this, and when i compare it to Fillmore show, i think this has been the pattern:
  • if you come 90mins or more before the show the line will still be short.
  • if you come at the time the door is opening (about 60 mins before the show) the line is very long

Viv and Del can comment whether it was the same in Santa Cruz.

seems if you want to be upfront you might be good if you get there 90 mins before the official time when the show starts?
