Crosses is gonna be my first concert ever, any advice?

Tour / Concerts

Hi!! I've only ever been to small local shows in my town, but I'm seeing crosses on june 11th(hmu if ur gonna be there) and this is my first concert ever so I'm feeling really anxious about it. Is there anything I should know? I am also a small 5 foot tall woman, how do I ensure I can actually see them?? Do I need to come early and stand outside so I can get in the front??? I have no idea how this works. Any advice is appreciated

Awesome! And yes, get there early. Most people are gonna be taller than you, so it’s a real pain in the ass if you don’t get a good spot.

thank you!! how early do you recommend i be

This really depends on the venue and also the type of crowd in your area. I live in one of the hugest cities in America, so if I wanted to get at the very front, I would need to be in line two hours earlier. People camp out for this.

If they are using the same set up from the tour earlier this year, they have risers at the front of the stage. Chino was on them pretty much the whole time. I’m 5’3 and my neck hurt from looking up the whole time. lol but I had a really good view from like 3 standing rows back.

That's a good point. He spent the majority of the time hopping from one riser to the next haha that'll give you a good boost.

good to know hahah thank youuu

I think I got to the venue around 5:30, doors at 7 and the only people in front of me were the one who had vip early entry. And even tho there were tall people in front of me, I had the best view of chino the whole time

How awesome is it that Crosses will be your first?! I'm the same height and yeah, it's a bit challenging. For artists I wanna get close to, I have to arrive a bit earlier, or make my way to the front (if possible). if you're lucky, crowd will disperse a bit after the opening act and you can move closer, but try not to take someone's spot on the rail.

When I saw them, the crowd wasn't too dense yet, so I was able to meet my friend at the front.

We also waited outside the venue and met them after waiting 1h30 <3

ENJOY!!

omg im so glad you got to meet them!!! thank you sm <3333 how early should i be then?? is like.. an hour okay??

Really depends on how long you want to wait, because I hate standing around these days haha I guess an hour is good! But I think even if you're there for the time doors open, you should be fine. I don't think there would be a huge crowd at that time. Good luck :)

I recommend getting there early! I went recently solo as a small woman and it was a blast!!!

omg this is so good to know cause im going solo too and i was so nervous about that too

I'm going solo to the Manchester 26th June show and so nervous ngl

Y’all got nothing to be nervous about I went in the DC and it was really good vibes in my opinion but it was crowded. I personally love going to concerts solo due to the freedom of choice in any mode of action.

That's true thanks 😊

Yay first concert, congrats! You’re gonna have so much fun!

Get there early! It’s worth the wait when you get close to the stage. Only take a couple of photos/videos (if the venue allows) and then put your phone away so you can be in the moment and really enjoy the performance. Be excited, don’t worry about looking like a dork if you’re really into the music because most of the people there are just as happy to be there as you are! Don’t be in a rush to leave, sometimes bands or their techs throw guitar picks or set lists and such to the audience after the show so hangout by the stage for a bit. Also, if you can, get something from merch since they sometimes have venue or tour-specific stuff.

thank youuu <333

How large is the venue/capacity? I saw them at a smallish venue (couple thousand) and the barricades looked pretty comfortable, ie. not absolutely crushing people. I would say, if you can, get to the barricades and stay there. Other people will have the same plan and there will be a bunch of people at the front of the line trying to do the same thing but given your height I would recommend that you try haha

the internet says about 2 thousand for the capacity, I've never even been in that city so i don't know much.. ill keep that in mind, thank youu

Google the venue and pictures of the inside. I'm assuming you have a general admission ticket but take a look at pictures of other concerts that have been held there and it will give you an idea of where you want to try to position yourself. Lots of venues have diagrams of their seating/concert setups on their website.

If u can, by any VIP seating upgrade available, it will be worth it as the concert is amazing and you’ll thank me later.

Some venues allow u to upgrade from regular ticket.

Pošto ti je prvi koncert - moraš odbrojavat. Takva su pravila.

Don’t be a nice person and let people in front of you. I did thinking it was the people who went by to use the restroom. But no. They stopped directly in front of me. Had such a good view too. Then I hear a guy squeezing through to my left. “My friends are right there”. Still enjoyed it. But guy in front of me kept raising his beer and getting in my way.

thank you!!!!

Get there early and try to get in the front, I am short too and that's the only way hehe

u/Cool_Ad7459 avatar

Yes, buy a fast pass and still get in line outside at least an hour before and b line to front of stage. That's what we did because we are small as well and it was amazing. Have fun

thank youu :))
