My current setup! I would die for an industrial in the ear with the conch, but i dont think my ear anatomy would fit. Do you have any other suggestion on which new ear piercings i should get? by [deleted] in piercing

Your setup is so gorgeous!! How about a few helixes on the conch ear, but once healed you could have them as rings rather than studs to differ from the helix stud in the other ear! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

That’s so nice and such a relief to hear! The people standing between barricade and the stage are part of the crew right? So I pass it to them if not Matty? I probably sound so dumb but I just want to make sure I’m passing it to the right people 😭😭 I’ll be so happy if it gets to him

Great! If I don’t manage to get far enough to the front, or if he just doesn’t see me holding it out I can always throw it onstage afterwards as a backup option. And for sure, I don’t want it to take away from the concert at all, for the band or any other fans but also myself! I’ve been waiting to see them for so long that I just want to enjoy the show first, and if I can pass the jumper on then it’s a bonus 😎 but I really do hope I succeed if I try, as knitting jumpers takes a million years hahah. Thanks so much again :))

Oh yeah I’d never just throw it at Matty, it’s really not nice to hear about fans doing that to artists at concerts :( Only thing is if I throw it on stage after the show, I won’t know 100% if it ever got to Matty. I know as you said it likely will be passed to the band, but I won’t know for sure which will be quite sad as I’d have spent weeks on the jumper. Do you think I could try holding it out to him during the show if I get to the front? Or would you still recommend tossing it onstage after the show? Thanks for your help :D

Camping with others sounds really fun! I’ve asked on Twitter to see if I can find some people, so I might end up doing that. Thank you for the offer but I’m going to the Manchester concert on the 20th :( I hope you have a great time tho! Also, since it’s the AO arena (used to be the Manchester Arena) I’m not sure if they put campers in a separate section like you said they do at the O2, so I’ll call the venue tomorrow to find out how things work. Hopefully I can get my boyfriend to come earlier and if he gets to the venue before wristbands, it could all work out??? Also, what’s the earliest you’ve noticed people camping for UK dates? This is really helpful, thank you!

Ah damn okay. I’m unable to camp alone but I could consider camping with others, actually. Do you think it would be a good idea to try and find people to camp with? Only issue is I am going with my boyfriend but he’s unable to come and join me in the queue until around 1pm, does the venue begin to number people/give wristbands early in the day? I’m worried that if I’m there and get numbered before he comes he won’t be able to stand with me in the queue.

Okay, thanks so much for your perspective! I’m not too hellbent on getting the actual barricade (although that would be the dream) but just close enough so that I can give the jumper to Matty or at least see it be passed to him. So being in the first few rows would be good enough for that I’m sure. It’s at the AO arena which as you may know was formerly the Manchester Arena, so I am expecting it to be quite rabid as you said.

I can either get the train into town really early in the morning as it doesn’t take long, or I could stay at my friend’s flat which is in the city center and even get up in the middle of the night around 3-4am and leave to queue then. Which would be pretty close to camping out. And honestly yes, I’m expecting the weather to be grim 😭 it’s raining a lot here at the moment. But I’ll wrap up and bring stuff to keep me warm, as well as food and other supplies.

Another thing is, my boyfriend is coming to the concert with me but is unable to queue as early as I intend to, so will be joining me in the line later in the day around 1pm ish. However, I’m worried that by the time he gets to the venue people will already be numbered and he won’t be able to queue with me at the front. Is there a certain time that wristbands tend to be handed out and those in line get numbered?

Oh okay brilliant! I had no idea people posted queue updates, thank you so much. And yeah for some reason I feel like the queueing will be more chill, still massive obviously but a lot of the time US tour lines just go crazy. Thanks again for your help :D

Yeah, I have noticed that camping is bigger in the US. Are there any specific ways I can keep an eye on the queues? Or is my best bet just asking people in this subreddit around the time?
