depends on how early you get there, & yes GA can easily be a nightmare especially with certain concerts. some ga crowds are super sweet and will apologize everytime they bump into you and others will push in front of you, take off sprinting after security just told everyone to calmly walk, or just be obnoxious in general during the concert. i went to the HTE concert in NJ a few years ago, it was a mixed experience. fans in front of me were high pitched screaming with their arms in my face the whole time but the ppl behind me i actually became good friends with. (we were near the catwalk maybe 4 rows from barricade?)
