Is it too early to discuss the Dallas show?

How early are people planning on getting to the venue?

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if people were already lining up.  Depending how my experience is with the line the next two shows I’ll have an idea what I’m doing for Dallas.

I'd be impressed if people were already lined up 9 days before the show....

I have not decided how early to get to the show, we'll be taking uber or lyft, no need to park a car and $30 a night at the hotel to park makes it expensive!

I'll be flying from Los Angeles for the Dallas show. I get in at 12:30am Sunday, then probably a nap at my lodging before getting ready and heading to the show.

Not sure when I'm lining up yet, I have VIP for this show.

I'll be in Dallas free all day Monday if anyone wants to hang out. Then heading to airport late Monday night or very early Tuesday morning.

For those of you going to the Dallas show, I was fortunate enough to do the meet and greet for the Anaheim House of Blues show. It is truly an amazing show. If anyone goes, and you make it to the merch line, would anyone be willing to get me another one of the rubber bracelets? My cat just ripped mine, and I'm devastated. I can paypal the $5 and pay for shipping and all.

@Jasonc

I might be able to.
Which bracelet specifically, I think they had a few, could you post a picture of the broken one you want to replace?

I say might because I'm not sure if I'm doing merch as soon as I get in, or risking post-show merch again. At SF I got merch as soon as I got in (had VIP and was near end of VIP line) and had no issues getting what I wanted. At Anaheim I waited after show since I was GA and landed a 2nd row spot by Tomomi and they were out of everything I wanted doing post-merch.

So while I want to do pre-show merch again at Dallas, if I see a nice spot in front of the stage I'm hoping for at this show- then I will likely risk post-show merch again.

Also at Anaheim since they sold out of what I wanted I asked if they were rationing merch so they'd have enough for each show and he said "Well, that's usually what we do. But we're not exactly doing it for this tour. I think we will have enough of everything for Dallas, but it depends how the Mexico shows go. I can't guarantee it. If we were at this point of the tour and still had Anaheim and SF, then Dallas- we'd probably be completely sold out of a lot items before Dallas."

And to be clear when I say enough of everything. I obviously don't mean enough of everything for everyone at all shows to get what they want. But enough of everything in that- they will have SOME of everything available at each show for people to try to buy.

I think they're doing their best to try to predict audience numbers and have enough merch to try to satisfy atleast 75% of the audience desiring merch. But it's really hard to predict, and ideally by the end of the last date (Dallas) you want to be completely sold out of all your merch.

Thanks for offering. Below is the picture of the one my cat destroyed. I'd like to get the same one. I guess I need to post more, as I cannot pm you. I guess that's what I get for being such a lurker.

Got an E-mail from ticketfly, so now we know what time to show up at Bomb Factory:

We wanted to let you know that you may begin to line up at 5 PM Central; early entry will take place at 6 PM, one hour before the public doors time of 7 PM.

It looks like it will be rainy and very humid, yay!

The forecast for Sunday has been pretty unstable.
I checked just a few hours ago and it was not supposed to rain, but reported to be hotter at 91 degrees.

(I've been checking the forecast daily)

Saturday has been pretty consistent that there will be rain.

I LOVE RAIN, but not when I'll be standing in line for hours before I have photo taken with SCANDAL. 
So, I hope for once....there is no rain for us on Sunday. Maybe after show, but not before please.

Even if it doesn't rain, the humidity will be around 70% and that is nasty.

Yeah, it will be gross either way, but at least if it doesn't rain I won't need to hold an umbrella/find cover/increase humidity in a rain jacket while in line. ^_^

I arrived in Dallas yesterday.  It’s pouring right now.  Hope the sky gets it all out of it’s system before Sunday.

Thank you for the update @Don Dio , see you on Sunday!

If you scope out the venue let us know if it looks like there's any covering to hide under while maintaining a line.

There is no hiding

Thank you @chiguirex

I figured there wouldn't be but now I have a better idea what we're looking at.

The inside looks pretty amazing.

Hey guys, I am new to the page. Does anybody know how the meet and greet works ? do you have to pay for that ? I know that the VIP tickets apparently grant you access to it ? Also does anybody know if we are getting a gift ? I think people have not gotten one.

That was a fun concert, someone who has been to all 4 said it was the best of the 4 in the USA.

Nice to meet some new folks, 4th Scandal concert for us and 1st without all seats (that were not used once the concert started, except for MC part)
