Thanks for the welcome ... and thanks for the response. Although, I must say I'm a bit disappointed about the answer.

Since you wondering about bringing a tent, it sounds like people get there pretty early. Have you been to a Creed concert there before?? I'm coming from Connecticut and staying in the hotel next to the venue. I'm not sure how early I should get there.

I read somewhere else that the whole floor is not that big. Oh well ... I hope I'm at least close enough to see Scott's beautiful face!

Anyone who says that the floor thing is not that big has never been on the floor. The only thing that is big is the letdown that lasts for days from the high of the evening!

Hope to see you this ones going to be special!

TeriB19 · 12-21-2002, 11:28 PM

It sure is, I really hope they play through midnight. How special will that be????

creedlvr · 12-21-2002, 11:41 PM

so then what time do people usually start lining up???

TeriB19 · 12-21-2002, 11:43 PM

Welcome, Creedlvr. 8 or 9:00 a.m. is not unheard of.

creedlvr · 12-21-2002, 11:50 PM

REALLY?!?!? Oh my God! So if I don't get there until about 4:00, I'm going to end up not even near the stage??

This is really NOT good news!

TeriB19 · 12-21-2002, 11:51 PM

I would say the earlier you get there the better your chances are of getting closer to the stage. 4pm is kinda late, you may not be very close at all. Sorry.

shane · 12-22-2002, 08:14 PM

Has anyone ever waited at the entrance door that the band comes in at?? Any luck on seeing them?

musicsaves · 12-23-2002, 12:44 PM

Does anybody know if they will be letting in through more than one entrance? Like you have to know what entrance to line up at depending on what side of the stage you want to be on....

TeriB19 · 12-23-2002, 04:51 PM

I would like to know that myself. Calling the Spectrum a few days ahead may be of some help.

musicsaves · 12-23-2002, 09:06 PM

they like to pretend they don't know anything for some reason. Also they told me you can't speak to the actual box office on the phone...they only conduct business in person.

TeriB19 · 12-23-2002, 09:10 PM

It's unfortunate that most of them aren't pretending. Most don't know anything until the day of the show. I suppose it's just a matter of show up and find out.

JenRN · 12-23-2002, 10:00 PM

Just be REAL nice to the security guards, they were the key to my knowing the right doors to go in! And yes GET THERE EARLY!!!!! I was there at 9am and there were people there as early as 7am, but they really did not have any better spots in the pit than I did. The pit is serious business know what you are doing!

creedlvr · 12-28-2002, 07:49 PM

are we going to be trampled??? is the whole floor considered the "pit"? does anyone know how big it is or about how many people it holds?

Dogstar · 12-29-2002, 03:57 AM

The whole floor is considered the pit. My guess is it would be the size of at least a basketball court and then some. It's pretty big and it does get pretty crowded. Most Creed pits are fairly mellow, but the one in Fort Wayne, Ind., was wild this year. People were being pulled out because they got overwhelmed. You have to go in knowing there is going to be a fair amount of pushing and shoving and a little crushing. It's best to be up as close to the front as possible, IMO. I don't think you'll get trampled, though.
