Hi have Ronnie side pit in Detroit. Looking for tips on when to arrive to get good spot, where is best spot, if I need to get wristband somewhere, how hard is it to get back to spot after taking a leak, etc.
Had Ronnie's side in Minneapolis. Check your email, there was a specific entrance for Pit where you get the wrist band. We got to US Stadium maybe 30 minutes before doors and then I realized we were not at the right entrance when I checked my phone. Doors opened as we got in the line at the right spot, but we were still able to get right behind people on the rail. There were people in line when I picked up my tickets 4-5 hours before doors. So if you want the rail, you need to line up hours before. But our view one set of people back was still amazing.I think it also helped that Minneapolis had Pit tickets available that day, so it wasn't as packed as other shows.
Make friends around you and people are usually really good with holding your spot, up until the opening band. From there, we had several arguments with people trying to push their way past us, claiming they were just coming back from the bathroom, and I think it would have been a challenge for us to get back at that point if we wanted. And once the Stones take the stage, there's always a push from behind. Had an extremely drunk and obnoxious woman near the end of the Stones set push her way up to the rail, where she was promptly told by everyone to move back.
