Can anybody give me some advice about going to a show at

[LeannW]

I've only been there once and I can't remember exactly where everything was.  
 
 What is the best area to go to once you get in?
 
 How early do you need to get there?  
 
 What time does the parking lot open?  Last time I parked in some other little parking lot because I couldn't figure out where to park.

 Depends on you and the show you're going to see. There really isn't a bad view in the club, unless you're in the bathroom.

 Again, depends on you. If you want to secure a spot in front of the stage or on the rails upstairs on the balcony, get there when the doors open.

I'm going go to see Third Eye Blind....I'd like to get in the front row or the balcony rail towards the front....but I don't want to stand outside for along time either....I think it will be too hot.
 
 Which way do you go when you get in the door to get up on the balcony?

well to be honest, you will have to get there earlier than most if you want to get a truly 'good' spot.. if you think that the band is worth it then you will stand outside a little bit longer, right?    
 
 once you get in the door there are stairs to your left which take you up to the balcony

3 suggestions:
 
 1)Fountains of Wayne is 20 bucks cheaper.  Or just save the whole $35 and buy yourself something nice
 2)Third Eye Blind will have a lot of fans, so if you want a good seat I'd say show up around 20-30 minutes before the show
 3) If you can't stand the heat, move to Canada, or vote democrat and save the environment.

Extremely well said, on all three counts.

I personally think it sounds best by the mixing board out front.  That is where the guy/gal who is mixing is standing so near them usually is  pretty good.  You don't want to be front and center if you actually want to hear the vocals and all that.  Remember if you can not see the fronts of the speakers, you are not going to hear the treble.
 
 Also, depends how tall you are, further back gives a bit better angle from the people in front, and the balcony is best.

i would say get there 45-1hr early. i got to the AFI show a little over an hour early and there was still a decent line. but AFI has better fans so i would still say 45 mins.  make sure to use the restroom early or push once the show starts.

courtesy never hurts...

I second that bathroom suggestion. After driving an hour or so just to get there, I always have to make a pit stop once I arrive. Gets me through the show without any worries of my return to where I want to hang out. They are cleaner then too, but usually 9:30 restrooms are much cleaner than most out in clubland. And you know how badly some females can trash a restroom. Especially the 1st bitch who refuses to sit on the seat and splashes it up for everyone else who then have to add some more splashes until it's all over the seat and floor.
 
 Just wish they would put the hooks back on the doors! (Big hint!        ) It's a bitch trying to figure out where to put your purse without it touching the floor while you are doing your business. Same with jackets and such.
