How long before the show did you go?
Are there many people in the golden circle?
What time do the doors open?
You had the early entry but do not recommend catching it
Was there too much queue to enter?
What time do you recommend to go to the queue? Because I can not go too early either
Sorry for asking so many questions :oops:
No problem, I will answer as much as I can. I can only answer about my own experience, your's may differ. :)

I lined up at 5:30 pm...but I don't necessarily recommend going that early. I thought by being the second person in line, and with an early entry ticket, I would have my pick of where to be in the pit. But I didn't really. The early entry ticket only gets you in the lobby 5 minutes before everyone else. You then have to line up again until about 8:35 or so, and then they let you go to the floor. Depending on your ticket (left side or right side), they will have you line up on the left or right side of the lobby. I was 5th or 6th in line in the lobby, but once I got down to the floor, it looked like the had let the left side in already, because there was only one spot open at the barricade, and it was right in front of the security guard. It was still a great place, but for having waited in line for 3 and 1/2 hours, I should have had better in my opinion.

It's not overly crowded, but it's standing room only. It's not so bad that people are going to be bumping into constantly. They let just enough people down there for it to look full but not crowded.
If I remember correctly, doors open at 8:00 (7:55 for early entry), then they let people onto the floor about 8:35. Show starts at "9:00," but it was more like 9:15. There's no opening act.

i answered most of this earlier, but I can't say definitely don't get the early entry, because I may not have been able to get that close if I hadn't, but it seemed like a rip off. I wanted to be able to go straight to the floor when I got in, instead you have to line up with everyone else in the lobby, and people from the back of the line were coming up to the front and security was doing nothing about it. It's all very disorganized.
Other things I can remember: if you want to take pictures of the costumes in the lobby, you have to try to get back up there quickly after the show, because security tries to get everyone out quickly. Drinks are expensive (I had a margarita after the show and it was $30 with tip, but it comes with a JLo cup you get to keep, so it was worth it to me). Merch is also expensive (I bought a keychain and a magnet and together it came to $30. I think shirts were like $35-40.)
Overall, just have fun. Take it all in. If something doesn't go the way you want, just remember how awesome it is that you are there in the Goddess's presence. :rockon
If you have other questions, you can PM me or ask here, I don't mind answering. Some of the people here on the board were very helpful to me when I had questions before I went, so I have no problem doing the same.
