General Admission Concert: Paramore: What should I be prepared for, what do I wear, and how early do I get there?

My boyfriend bought us tickets for general admission to see Paramore.

What should I be prepared for, what do I wear, and how early do I get there?

It sounds as though you have floors which are considered General Admission because you will be standing. Floors are ice level in an arena for a show that has west end stage set up. Essentially, they cover the ice and that's what makes the floor.

In this case you need to know two things. Number 1 it's going to be very hot and people packed in like sardines. You need to buy lots of water, wear lose clothing and comfortable shoes as you will be there for hours.

Secondly, you want to get there early even during the opening act because the minute your headliner is on there will be a surge to the front and you don't want to be behind people you can't see over.

Call the arena's fan services hotline and ask them for the set times which is when each act is scheduled to go on and figure out when to be there. Typically if it's a 7:30 show expect a 6:00 or 6:30 entry. The biggest pain in the rear is security checks so I recommend standing in line earlier than that to go in first. They always take the longest time checking women FYI.

Next go and visit setlist.fm and type in Paramore. Select the last date before your concert and copy the list of songs down in that order as that's the same list you'll get. That's because all the songs are lined up to lighting cues.

This is a good thing to have so you know when to bail and miss thousands of people pouring out when it's over. Always head for the exit when it's 2-3 songs from the end and watch/listen from the entry way of your section if desired. Bring money and secure it and your phone.

Cool! Paramore is playing in my area, as well. I've been to concerts before, and shows at stadiums and the Savemart Center. Juding by the popularity of Paramore, get there early. 5:30 at the earliest and 6:30/6:35 at the latest. If you have a Paramore shirt, wear it. or just a cute date outfit. Anything, really. maybe not heels,just because it will be crowded and you may have to stand for long periods of time. Prepare for large crowds, don't keep anything in your pockets, (pick-pocketers!) and expect it to be loud. Bring money for food/drink, depending on what the stadiums rules are on snacks and beverages. Dress comfortably, but not too comfortably. Dress nice, but not trashy (Get what I mean?). And have fun!-- hope I helped.
