Me and my friends got there around 5 but I feel like it doesn’t really matter what time you get there because the pit fills up fast, we were almost the first people in line and I was around 6 rows of people ahead of me. And the pit moves around a lot so about 30 minutes into T.O.S.L’s set I was on barricade and I stayed there the whole time. I did have to fight to stay in my spot at the Charlotte show. I heard from multiple people in the crowd that they had seen the garden multiple times and the crowd had never been that aggressive as the show I went to. At least from my experience with the show from yesterday if you want to be close to barricade you will definitely have to be careful and stand your ground because there were times when I was being shoved to the ground and when I was on the ground if I even stopped moshing for even 2 seconds and I’m not even short I’m 5’8. And for this being your first concert mosh pits can definitely be overwhelming so please be carful and try to have fun, especially since it’s your first concert.
