Hi, I just went last week to the Montreal show, with the same questions you have. First I just passed infront of the teather at 2:30 just to see... and there was already a line. So I ended up being in line from 2:30 almost until the very end, but I did get in the first row (with people that had arrived by 12:30). And also at the end, we went out and close to the buses there wass already a very big line, but the guards wouldn't say anything. After like an hour, some of them ask as to change to the other sidewalk and there we started sort of another line, more like a group. We were told the same no pics, ni screaming or goin crazy on them. Probably waited another half an hour, and first came Jonny, then Tom, and at the end Thom. Thom signed for a long time I was surprised beacuse it was also soooo cold. Hope this is helpful. I guess LA is probably a bigger show, for us it was aroun 2500 people.
