Q&A for How to Get Front Row at a Concert

Wearing heels is usually a bad idea as you'll likely be standing for long periods of time, and jumping around, and may either injure yourself or the people around you. Either try getting there as early as you possibly can (you might even want to camp out) to get near the front, or weave your way through the crowd and kindly ask taller people to let you forward so you can see.

It depends on the artist, but usually, platinum gives you the best experience of seeing and hearing the artist. Often, you get to meet the person. These tickets will cost you, though.

Make sure that you have friends going with you for emotional support. Be familiar with the band or artist's music beforehand to make the experience more immersive. Relax and try to have an easygoing attitude, that way if things do go south, you can laugh it off. Concerts are exciting, you're going to have a great time.

General admission refers to any section that does not have assigned seating. They are are first come, first serve. The physical location of these sections vary from venue to venue.

I've seen people camp out for twenty one pilots, so I am not 100%. Maybe try going at 2 - 2:30? It all depends on how committed the fans going to your show are to getting close up. There's no guarantee.

Your arrival time really depends on your tickets. If you have general admission tickets, I would recommend getting there around 16:00. That way you can ensure you are towards the front of the line entering the dome and get a great spot. If you have assigned seats, just get there when the doors open.

You can, but there's no guarantee there will be any tickets left.

It's best to go before the concert but it is possible to hold the spot. The difficulty will be for the person returning from the bathroom having to push through the crowd. Just squeeze through as politely as possible, say "I'm sorry my friends are up there," etc. People will let you through if they can.

If you are choosing the safer way of getting there early instead of pushing, it depends on the date and venue. For concerts in the summer or weekend I would go earlier than on a weekday, and for concerts at big venues with crazy fans, I would go as early as possible and buy VIP tickets if they're available. Some popular artist fans don't arrive until 4 hours before the concert but others camp out, so it just depends on the artist, venue, and date.

If it's a really large festival, go at 10:00 a.m. to get a good spot.

It depends on the performer and the size of the venue. If the performer is famous, arrive as early as you can, even as early as 2:00 p.m. If the performer or band isn't very popular, 5:30 or 6:00 might be fine.

Just follow the steps in this article.

You should be there at least one hour before the doors open and if you are really determined to have a good spot, get there at 1:00 p.m.

Find out when the arena opens and get there for opening, or plan on being there about two hours early. You will have to do a lot of standing if you want to be near the front row.

It really depends on if the concert you're going to has super popular artists playing. I would leave around 4 pm so you can be around 2 hours early for the concert.

At every concert I have ever been to, I have been able to move around and find a better seat within the assigned seating area. The main issues with this are that you run the risk of being in someone else's seat if you move or you may get caught by security. While they won't always kick you out of the show, you'll have to go back to your assigned seat and they won't be nice about it.

You better camp out. Trust me, Harry fans don't play. His fans are competitive. I know because I am one.

It depends on the artist. If they’re popular and want to get to the front, get there around 5:30 or 6:00 PM.

Most of the time they are, but you can check specific rules and regulations/ guidelines online at the venue's website.

Definitely get there by 3-4. I know that sounds early, but Little Mix have a LOT of passionate fans. If you want to be in the front row, it's better to be safe than sorry.

It depends on how popular the artist is. Sometimes people camp out or arrive early in the morning for a very big act. Plan to get there at least 2-3 hours early for any fairly known artist.

3:00-3:30 depending on how popular the band is. If the band is really popular, I'd suggest you get there at 3.

Usually, yes - unless the ticket you purchased had an assigned seat, which it probably won't since it's GA.

It depends. If you want to be right next to the stage, get there at about 4:30, and get supplies like chips you can throw away or maybe even a lawn chair. iif you want to be not so close, you would be okay coming at around 5:45.

If you want to get front row, then your best bet would probably be getting to the venue around 8 - 12 hours before the doors open.

It really depends on the concert. You could arrive 2-3 hours early, but to be safe, you should probably arrive around 8 hours early.

At first, try moving through politely. That should help you to the front.

If you want front row seats, then showing up 4-6 hours early is preferable.

If it's your favorite band or it is a big venue with lots of people, you should show up 8+ hours early. Otherwise, you should show up 2-3 hours early.

You should probably arrive at around 3:30 or 4:00. There are going to be a lot of people there, and some people may have even camped out overnight.
