You won't have to wait. In OKC we showed up 20 minutes before doors opened, saw there was a list, said screw it, went through the merch line, got back in the "regular" line to get in, and wound up about tenth row center in GA.

Also, the whole GA crowd was really nice. We'd take turns going out for a drink/restroom break before the show, and as long as you had someone in the crowd to go back to, people would let you back in. Also, the GA section was pretty small, so even the very back was a great spot.

UNREAL! No band of this kind would ever do such a thing for a fan. It seems like every show they are truly testing their boundaries. It only makes me excited for what they could have possibly planned for their next show!
so given to fly has officially become another lazy singalong song.

No, the list is not a thing anymore.....if you are talking about tom copper's post, he goes on to say that the 10C security disintegrated the list. Yep, they put fire to it. They destroyed it, smoked it, ripped it up and stomped on it I think

It's good to see they're taking some action. The whole list thing is just a bit ridiculous to me in general, I've gone into GA shows all over Europe and got a good view towards the front without tattooing a number on myself. Some of the posts on facebook ticket groups in the last few days have been as hilarious as they are disturbing.

Absolutely spectacular! It's awesome that you can see us at the end. (I'm behind the guy with the powder blue hoodie.)

I thought I's discuss my trip to Vienna and Stockholm. I got to Stockholm on Thursday afternoon. I really enjoyed Stockholm. I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Vienna. The weather was cool - between 55 and 70 the entire trip( :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ). I checked out the Swedish History Museum, Vasa Museum and Old Town (a lot). The city was quite breathtaking. Almost all locals spoke English quite proficiently - many with an English accent. I ate mustard breaded fried herring at Tradition (the best meal of my entire trip), reindeer steak at Agaton, Prosciutto wrapped chicken and Swedish meatballs (I wanted Elk meatballs, but very few restaurants had Elk so I had the standard beef meatballs). I did try a Swedish raspberry soda. The tourist center was very navigable by foot. The city was much smaller than I anticipated -those islands are pretty small. I simply enjoyed walking around. I would definitely go back.

It's so sad that a lot of my PJ photos were subpar.

Here is a good one:
