It was nightfall and there were quite a lot of people already standing in line to get Concert Tickets VAMPS. I couldn’t sleep at all, mostly because of the face that I was paranoid about having any of my stuff stolen. Also, I needed to make sure nothing happened to the other fans waiting in line with me. I was responsible for getting there first, at the ticket booth and having people sign a form to help save a spot in line for when they could actually physically stand in line. Yes, I made a little money doing this. This is how I manage to pay for most of my concert tickets.
I would walk up and down the line repeatedly all day making sure people were doing okay and to make sure there were no tensions building. I like to talk to people, I just a really friendly type of guy, so I’m pretty good at easing tensions. It was sometime after midnight and more people joined the line and I would have them sign the list so that they too could leave the line if necessary, but be able to come back and keep their spot. Everyone in line had to agree to this or the list wouldn’t work. Luckily, most VAMP concert goers are pretty cool people, laid back, so it’s easy to make the ‘line position’ list work. Plus, people don’t feel so stressed out waiting in line, knowing they won’t lose their spot.
I was finally beginning to feel a bit tired, but at the same time I couldn’t sleep. I managed to walk around some more and got any more people joining in the line to sign the list. I’ve stayed awake before for 24 hours, and it’s always interesting to watch the sunrise, but during the week, I really didn’t get much sleep do to a project I was working on, so my lack of sleep finally caught up with me around 5am. I went back home and took a shower and returned back in line as soon as possible. The line grew triple and I heard there were some issues while I was gone, but nothing too serious. I got back in the front of the line and waited with all my other wonderful fellow concert goers.
