Early Entry to PC Shows?

Northern Neighbour · Dec 21, 2012, 03:26 PM

Does anyone know? CC? Wade?

I'd have to think there will be. The only times I've seen the Early Entry not apply are festivals and other things out of MMJ's control.

These are MMJ shows, with GA floor, and sold out.... so if ever the fans needed it, these are the shows!!

CC if you are reading this, it'd be good to get some confirm.

Maybe someone should go over to that roll call forum and ask. Do they even look over here? I'll do it.

~~~~Ok, I went over and asked in the roll call section. Then I pm'd Wade. Maybe we will get some answers soon. Of course it's Friday and there are the holidays coming up. We should probably not get our hopes up that we will find out anything until we are at the gate and PennyLane is rallying the staff at the entrance to make sure that we get in before everyone else - (I'm having flashbacks to Alpharetta. She did her job well there. We were in before anyone else, even the other side of the amphitheater where the soundcheck party entrance was.)

i doubt it

Well since these are MMJ shows like Kyle said, and not a fest, and also sold through a Roll Call presale, I'm leaning towards there definitely being a Roll Call early entry.

There was RC early entry at Wiltern, this situation appears to be almost exactly the same, I see no reason why it wouldn't be available.

At The Wiltern, the floor was staggered/levels, so you had like 3 opportunities to be on 'the rail', the actual pit, the first level was about eye level with the stage with a waist high wall/railing, and the same for the third level. So if you didn't want to be on the rail in the pit, you could stake a spot on the first or second rail for unobstructed views, and kinda 'hold' that spot. But it appears that The Capitol floor is a steady upward slope, which is fine, but somewhat mitigates that early entry advantage (at least as compared to the Wiltern, though likely not many other places).

I was also wondering about a coat check. I guess I am getting old to be concerned about things like this, but it's gonna be freezing outside. Probably not though...

mtngurl · Dec 21, 2012, 09:19 PM

I wondered about a coat check too. I'm assuming they have one.

paloozajam · Dec 22, 2012, 02:30 PM

there is a coat check

johnnYYac · Dec 22, 2012, 03:43 PM

I've put inquiries out to ground(ctrl) and MMJ management about early entry. Stay tuned...

Northern Neighbour · Dec 22, 2012, 06:27 PM

6:00 for RC members. Bring 2011 or 2012 membership cards/laminates.

Thanks so much MMJ and GroundCtrl!

I just got an email about this from GRNDcntrl and MMJ, but I am still a little confused about getting tickets, sort of, but I am sure it will work out fine. Just wondering if you're getting tickets from someone who is will-call, and the tickets are actually inside, and the box office itself isn't open, how that will work out. But I am sure it will.

Related question/favor, which I should/will post separately, I have my RC laminate, but I am coming with my buddy and my sister Thursday, so am hoping to get them both in early with me (if for no other reason than to facilitate smooth ticket transfer, as we are getting all the tickets when we get there, see above). So if someone with a RC laminate is solo and wouldn't mind helping me out, that would be special, and probably worth a beer or soda.

ROLL CALL FIRST ENTRY FOR THE CAPITOL THEATRE - 12/27, 12/28 & 12/29

Doors Officially Open: 6:30pm

Box Office Opens: 6:30pm

Parking: http://www.thecapitoltheatre.com/parking/

Meet up location / time: 6:00pm in the designated First Entry line at the Main Entrance of The Capitol Theatre. Once entering the main lobby, there will be a will call table where you can pick up your tickets. 149 Westchester Ave, Port Chester, NY.

If you purchased a 3 day pass, you will be picking up all three tickets on the first night (12/27). If you purchased individual days, you will pick up each ticket on each night.

ONLY 2011 ROLL CALL MEMBERSHIP CARD OR 2012 ROLL CALL LAMINATE will allow you (+1) to enter through this line. Refer to the forum threads for each show's specific First Entry Instructions. Again, we are offering this opportunity where and whenever possible per venue's capabilities.

bartel · Dec 23, 2012, 12:16 PM

it's a small venue either way I'm not bothered.

millerjustin · Dec 23, 2012, 12:29 PM

True - I'm assuming and hoping that 1800 people can line up and filter in without much ado.

The good news is tha there is a 100 foot bar just to the right of the lobby - the real trick will be getting drinks fast, then moving to floor or seats

Dillsnufus · Dec 25, 2012, 06:22 PM

What do I do if I didn't bring my roll call laminate?

oistheone · Dec 26, 2012, 12:43 PM

This early entry is SWEET!

BUT, think we can use the coat check to check merch? I've been successful doing so at other venues in the past, but every place is different. Definitely don't want the merch to interfere with the in-concert groove. Anyone with experience checkin' shit at the Cap?

Great question. I'll hold a poster/tube if I need to but would prefer to check it with my jacket. Just need to make sure it doesn't go missing haha.

I'm solo, but meeting someone at will call for my ticket. I have my laminate and can bring in one of your two if My ticket fairy arrives early enough. Feel free to pm, I'll see what I can do!

Hello Fellow Wiltern SoCal friend. I really loved the rail on the second level at the Wiltern, planted front and center two nights and one night center in the deep pit great 3 nights expecting to be spoiled with more of the same... Xmas curtain opener would be nice... I will have my RC card and can help with the early entry of your peeps! Just yell Tubetop when in line!
