I know, especially when there are so many other things to do in the city standing in the line all day is not one of them. I assume we can take turns getting ready and going back to the hotel if someone holds our place? People were ok with that in Biloxi and it was fairly close to show time.

My hotel is like 2.5 miles away and not easy to get to from Webster, so I'm not sure where I'll go to change or where I'll store my stuff. But I will be changing at some point, so people better be okay with place holding in line! haha

Now that you mention it, I am not sure how close my hotel is either. Guess I need to figure that out!

I actually made a trip to webster hall today to scope out the area .. webster hall entrance is on a main street w wide sidewalk so room for a line ... the guys there who work webster hall knew stevie was coming and that it was sold out and said ' no problem.. show up 7:00PM"

the place only holds 1500 peeps and several hundred are upstairs in the VIP area reserved for who knows who

the area in general is OK but no great shakes.. if i were gonna spend a lot of time there i would bring a disposable folding chair ( i'm 62 yo so maybe that enters into the picture)

no real restaurants of any sort nearby, so if u plan to come early be prepared

As far as place holding. I don't think it would be a problem if two or three people are in line together and take turns getting something to eat/drink, etc. What I would foresee being a problem would be if one person got in line really early and then a whole group of people, who were not in line all, day show and try to get in line with that one person who was there super early. I know I'd be upset if I waited in line for hours and then a group of people who hadn't been around all day showed up and tried to get in line in front of me.

That being said, I would imagine getting in line around 5:00 would be sufficient.

I got some antibiotics earlier today so I should be okay, but I'll definitely keep that in mind.

ANYTHING that helps would be greatly appreciated-- I literally can't breathe.

You don't understand-- this isn't just a Stevie inspired thing. It's a flat out Stevie outfit from head to toe. I'm probably going to wear it anyway, and I say you wear your stuff as well!

I was planning on getting to the venue around 9AM but after reading these posts, I'm thinking I'm going to get there around noon. Still a little obsessive, I know, but I'm not flying across the country to be anywhere but at Stevie's feet. Seriously, I want he best spot in the house.

That being said.... if anyone other than Amber (my roommate for the trip) tries to cut with me after those long hours of waiting, they will be shut down

. Just a warning.

Front row is the worst spot for a venue like this. The acoustics will be awful. You won't be able to hear her correctly, and all the pushing and shoving you will be getting. For GA, I usually go to the balcony. The sound is better, the people are nicer, and you actually get to enjoy the show and not be in the mess of the mob.

With that said, I want to be up front, too.

I know the acoustics will suck, but I'll be 5 feet from Stevie Nicks, damnit! It just won't be the same unless I'm right there in front. I'm totally adamant about this-- you all better be prepared to deal with my wrath if this doesn't work out for some reason

Kidding.

Mostly.

I'm anticipating people being aggressive. But if I have to get pushed and shoved, I'm getting thrown into Nicks herself.

Dani-- I remember a few people saying they were going to get there at 10 a.m.
We might have to go there then, just in case.

Alright, 9 it is. We can take turns-- I'll get there at 9 if you come around 2 or 3 so I can shower etc.

I fly out tomorrow morning! SO EXCITED!

delongpre · #**673** 05-01-2011, 11:57 PM

I know the hall is supposed to hold 1500 at the most, but I would guess that less than 1000 tickets were given out, to allow for special guests as well as allow for room to film if that is a concern!
Anybody have any info on actual numbers of tickets sold and/ given out?

PS...hoping to get there around 5. I'm old and short and can't deal with being pushed!

I'll just go down with you. I'll be too excited to just sit in that hotel room. We'll work out the times to get ready later.

I'm pretty sure I'm wearing my black hankerchief chiffon skirt and Black platform boots and will wear my purple beret...I have a bad foot though and was in an accident years ago where I broke my foot..so this standing might be insane on my foot

((((..might have to bring some extra shoes or take the boots off half way thru and dance like a gypsy!!!*♥
